You can grab offensive rebounds at will, but the veteran Rockets insider can t get in under the opponent s basket?

In the previous NBA regular season, the Houston Rockets almost defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers at home 114-104. After this game, the Rockets, who had won 5 consecutive victories, improved their record to 10 wins and 3 losses, and their ranking also rose to second place in the Western Conference. The Cavaliers' record, which ended their two-game losing streak, dropped to 10 wins and 6 losses, and their ranking was overtaken by the Toronto Raptors and fell to third place in the Eastern Conference.

In this game, the performance of Rockets starting center Steven Adams was mixed. Adams played 27 minutes and 59 seconds, making 2 of 6 shots and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 6 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block, including 6 offensive rebounds, 2 turnovers and 2 fouls, with a plus-minus of +6. Adams' performance in fighting for offensive rebounds can be considered phenomenal. He also made all kinds of mistakes in the opponent's interior. However, the problem is that Adams' finishing ability is really bad, and he just can't put the ball into the basket. Of course, Adams can still play a role on the defensive end. With his advantages in size and confrontation ability, he can also guard the team's inside. Overall, Adams' performance has certain highlights, but his personal abilities are still relatively limited, and his function on the court is relatively simple.

In the NBA regular season last season, Adams played 58 times due to injuries in 82 games, averaging 13.7 minutes per game. He averaged 3.9 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.4 steals, 0.5 blocks, 0.9 turnovers and 1 foul. He shot 54.5% from the field and 46.2% from the free throw line. In the playoffs, Adams played a total of 7 times, averaging 22.1 minutes per game. He averaged 5.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.4 steals, and 1.1 blocks per game. He also had 0.7 turnovers and 1 foul. He shot 60% from the field and 53.3% from the free throw line. Since the start of this season, Adams has played a total of 12 times in the first 13 games, averaging 22.3 minutes per game, averaging 6.1 points, 9.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.7 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game. He also has 1.2 turnovers and 2.2 fouls. His field goal percentage is 49.1% and his free throw percentage is 76%.

Adams still has certain highlights this season. His performance in offensive rebounds can be considered phenomenal, and may be unique in the entire league. But on the other hand, Adams actually has rough skills and poor hand skills. His shots are basically concentrated at the basket. However, his shooting percentage is less than 50%, which is enough to illustrate this point. Regarding the use of Adams, the Rockets are actually a bit excessive. Adams can have excellent results in limited playing time, but it is unrealistic to expect him to take on more responsibilities. Occasionally using the Twin Towers may provide miraculous results, but if you use the Twin Towers for a long time, the effect may be greatly reduced.
