Rockets head coach: There are few teams in the league using the double tower, but we enjoy this arrangement

In a previous NBA playoff game, the Houston Rockets defeated the Golden State Warriors who played at home 115-107. After this game, the Rockets, who won two consecutive games, have tied the total score of the series to 3-3. Next, both sides will return to Houston to prepare for the G7 game. This tiebreak battle will also determine who can enter the Western Conference semi-finals. After this game, Rockets head coach Ime Udoka and the team's backcourt core Fred VanVleet were interviewed by reporters, and the two talked about the power of the double tower lineup and the performance of substitute center Steven Adams.

Uduka talked about the "one-eye four-way" joint defense tactics used by the Rockets when they targeted their opponent's backcourt core Stephen Curry. Uduka said: Since we have used the double tower lineup on the court for a long time, we also have to use this defensive system that is more suitable for the double towers. Judging from the actual results, the communication between the team members during the joint defense process is even smoother than when using people to watch people. There aren't many teams in the entire league now playing in double-high lineups, but we enjoy the advantages it brings to us. VanVleet talked about Adams' performance, and he said: In this small ball era, Adams was like a giant mountaintop cave man. He is an old-school center who can knock everyone down with his strong body. His effect on the court is so good, so we will keep him on the court until he is exhausted.

Since the playoffs, Adams has averaged 21.5 minutes in the first six games, with averaging 6.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.5 steals and 1.3 blocks, and 0.7 turnovers and 1.2 fouls. His shooting percentage is 68.8% and his free throw percentage is 53.6%. In the series G6, Adams' performance was still very stable. He made 4 of 4 shots and 9 of 16 free throws in 31 minutes and 100 seconds of playing time, and scored 17 points, 5 rebounds, 1 steal and 3 blocks. It also included 3 frontcourt rebounds and 1 foul, with a plus-negative value of +15.

The Rockets faced some unfavorable situations in this round of series, but in recent games, the Rockets have greatly increased Adams' playing time and arranged for him and the team's starting center Alperen Sengun to play at the same time for a long time. It seems that this arrangement has also achieved quite good results. The height of the two towers has exerted its power on both ends of the offense and defense. The Warriors have not been able to crack this two tower tactic so far. If the Warriors still cannot respond to the Twin Towers tactics in G7, I'm afraid the Rockets will really have a chance to complete a big comeback when the situation was once unfavorable?
