Udoka must be the only solution in the Rockets' bench for a short time, so the Rockets will either propose to trade and get out of the way, or adapt to Udoka's system. I studied Udoka's coaching style, and the Spurs coaches are the most like Popovich. Let's analyze it from two aspects: offense and defense.
Let's talk about defense first, Uduka's basic plate is defense, and the defensive strategy is simply to defend the guard, block the front line, and make up for the inside. The outside is pressing, the front line is made up for the guard, and the inside line is made up for the front line, the effect is definitely good, from the perspective of the Rockets this season, including the Green Army that year, it was successful. The requirements for players are mainly positive on the outside, and defensive skills are secondary, so Udoka will never want Harden, this defensive strategy Harden will break when the first line of defense comes, and it is also suitable for Green, because the requirements for defensive skills are low, but Green is still not good enough, FVV is very suitable, he is positive enough, and the shortcomings of being short are protected, which is why Holladay Tate has more playing time, and the main thing is positive, which is also the reason why Dillon has a good sense in the Rockets. This set of defensive strategies is actually extremely demanding on the inside, the Green Army was Da Luowei back then, but the data bonus to the inside line is also very large, so Shen Jing is indeed magnified by the shortcomings of the defensive system, but it also adds defensive data to Shen Jing. Here I also want to talk about Xiao Jia, Xiao Jia is the most important part of the Udoka system, the role of the Green Army is Lowe or Gweis, Lowe in this position is mainly Horford to protect the frame to support the halfcourt, this position is mainly the inside and outside the three-point line full of defense, without this position this system collapsed, at the beginning of the season I thought it was Ethan doing this, but I didn't expect it to be Jabari. So Shen Jing fans don't think about finding someone to insert Shen Jing's ass, the inside frame in the Uduka defensive system is too important, otherwise it will look very embarrassing.
In terms of offense, in fact, Udoka's tolerance for mistakes and inability to shoot is very high, as long as you defend well, you can make mistakes casually, Tatum's hundreds of mistakes in a playoff game are proof, so Green fans don't think that Green can't play because of bad offense, just because the defense is not active, Whitmore is the same, and the defense can't play under Udoka. Udoka's offensive system is actually very casual, but Udoka and Popovich have been in the past for so many years, and they have never cultivated a scoring guard who can play without the ball, or never trained a scoring guard, the only one is Ginobili, and he must also put a substitute, and he won't play if he starts the game, and the famous star DeRozan will not play when he comes to the Spurs, but no one wants to play actively defensively, so don't hope that Green will improve under Udoka, this is really impossible, it is better to hope that Green will become a reliable like Smart。
The advantage of the Spurs system is that it produces results, and players have good playing habits, especially static ones, which are very easy to practice. The disadvantage is that there is no way to meet the three-point accuracy, because the outside pressure is actually giving up the three-point line, which is very unfriendly to players who are strong in offense and weak in defense.
