Both offense and defense! Capela appeared in the Rockets training hall, with a small hook shot with her left hand repeatedly, and she was too skillful

This offseason, the Rockets won more than just Durant, the star striker. In addition to Durant, the Rockets also signed Lakers' former player Dorian Finney-Smith, as well as the basic defender Okogi who played for the Suns and Hornets last season. He is also an outside player who can shoot three-pointers and defend, and the Rockets finally welcomed his "Pie King" Capela after many years. When he left the Rockets, Capela was still a young center forward, but now five years later, Capela is already a 31-year-old veteran inside player.

Capela has actually performed well in the five years with the Hawks. With Trae Young passing the ball to him, Capela's inside defense has no problem, so for most of the time, Capela occupies the absolute main position of the Hawks' inside. However, the storm changed suddenly last season, and the young center Okongwu emerged and became the new starting center of the Hawks. Veteran Capela had to retreat to the second line and became Okongwu's first substitute. But even so, he averaged 8.9 points, 8.5 rebounds per game in the Atlanta Hawks last season, plus 1 block and 1 assist.

Although Capela is known for her defense, in fact, when she was playing in the Houston Rockets, Capela had already developed a small hook attack. However, at that time, most of the Rockets' ball rights were controlled by outside players, such as Harden, Paul and Westbrook, so at that time, the Rockets' head coach Mike D'Anthony rarely gave Capela the opportunity to attack independently and shoot independently in the interior. But Capela's small hook is indeed very useful, and she can often score unexpectedly. In addition to his strong "eating" ability in the inside, Capela averaged 12 points and 10 rebounds per game during his years with the Rockets.

And now after returning to the Rockets from the Hawks, Capela faces a more difficult and complex environment. He is no longer young and has lost his main position. Capela will be the substitute for Shin Kyung and Adams next season. However, his playing time should not be too small, because Adams was seriously injured, so in the regular season next season, the attendance rate is not expected to be too high. Whenever he encounters back-to-back games, Adams will take the initiative to take the game off, and Capela's role will be highlighted at this time. The Rockets need him and Shin Kyung to cooperate. He can not only become Shin Kyung's main substitute, but also become an important member of the Rockets' double tower lineup.

Now Capela appears in the Rockets' training hall and trains with teammates such as Van Vreet, Amen Thompson. We also saw Capela's personal training video in the Rockets Arena. He showed a small hook attack with his left hand at the basket, and his offensive method basically made repeated shots. In the dunk area at the basket, his small hook shot was very skilled. It seems that Capela did not put down the scoring methods of that year, but instead became more and more skilled.

In the Rockets next season, there are not many tactics for Capela to "eat cake", but if he can get the ball, Capela can also show his left-hand hook shot attack - because he has shown his skillful small hook shot technique in training, and he only needs to cash it in the game.

Now Capela has really become a center forward with both offense and defense. Although he is older, his offensive methods have become more abundant and his experience is more abundant. As the Rockets' substitute center, Capela is still very trustworthy.
