Three years of reconstruction finally brings a turnaround! How do the three major "secret weapons" of the Rockets detonate the path of counterattack?

On the NBA, the road to reconstruction is full of thorns, and after three years of dormant, the Houston Rockets finally ushered in a dawn moment. From low to rising, the three "secret weapons" hidden behind it are quietly rewriting the alliance competition landscape.

Secret Weapon 1: The outbreak of talented new stars

Jaylen Green is undoubtedly the most dazzling existence in the Rockets formation. This season, he averaged 26.8 points per game, and with his ultra-long three-pointers and quick breakthroughs, he repeatedly tore off his opponent's defense. In the confrontation with strong enemies, Green staged a single-quarter score feast of 20+, proving with his strength that he has entered the ranks of top scorers in the league.

Amen Thompson is the "lubricant" for the team's offense. He averaged 8.2 assists per game to revitalize the overall situation, and he can always accurately find his teammates in the open position in the fast-paced offense and defense transition. On the defensive end, Thompson's long arms and positive attitude also make him a key force limiting the opponent's core defender. The two attacked and defended each other perfectly, supporting the Rockets' offensive banner.

Secret Weapon 2: Innovation of the tactical system

The "running and bombing + unlimited defense replacement" tactics brought by the new coach have completely activated the Rockets' potential. On the offensive end, the team emphasized quick shots and no-ball running, averaging up to 40 three-point shots, and its offensive efficiency soared to the top five in the league. On the defensive end, young players rely on their excellent athletic ability to implement high-intensity defense swap strategies, forcing their opponents to increase their turnover rate to 15%.

This tactical system not only fully utilizes the athletic talent of Rockets players, but also allows teamwork to reach a new level. Today, the Rockets have long escaped from the looseness of the early stages of reconstruction and have become a strong team with excellent offense and defense.

Secret Weapon 3: Aquaman Adams's pressure lineup and the qualitative change of the inside line

Adams' joining has injected a long-lost toughness into the Rockets' inside line. He averaged 13.5 rebounds per game, of which 4.3 were frontcourt rebounds. With his strong body and excellent sense of positioning, he firmly controlled the penalty area. In the confrontation with top inside players such as Embiid and Jokic, Adams did not lose the least and used solid defense to build a solid wall for the team. On the offensive end, Adams' pick-and-roll down is equally excellent as his support ability. He has a tacit cooperation with Green and Thompson, and has repeatedly staged aerial dunk scenes. More importantly, as an experienced veteran, Adams actively guided young insiders off the court and helped players such as Shin Kyung grow rapidly. Under his leadership, the Rockets' inside line changed from a shortcoming to an advantage, becoming the key puzzle for the team to make a comeback.

From reconstruction to counterattack, the Rockets took three years to complete the transformation. Now, the three "secret weapons" are fully fired, and this young and energetic team is launching a high-level goal. The legendary story belonging to Houston has just begun!
