This time the Rockets vs. the Nuggets didn't look like they were going all out, and they seemed to have some reservations. Maybe it's because they know it's a tough task to play against a strong Nuggets team on the road. The Nuggets' main point guard, Jamal Murray, is back, while the Rockets are missing two key players, VanVleet and Tate.
In the comparison of strength, the Rockets are clearly at a disadvantage. In this case, Rockets coach Udoka may have foreseen the team's predicament and therefore did not let VanVleet and Tate play. In the previous game against the Mavericks, the Rockets went all out, but in the end they still lost regrettably.
It can be seen that when facing the Nuggets, the Rockets' attitude and employment strategy are different. And in the next game against the Lakers, the Rockets will go all out, with VanVleet and Tate returning. This shows that the Rockets' strategy and arrangement for dealing with different opponents are different.
Through this game, the Rockets also made some tactical adjustments and experiments in the use of players. This change will not only improve the team's offensive fluidity, but also help with the recovery of key players. These two games showcased the Rockets' versatility in terms of tactics and personnel.
In basketball, the Rockets chose different tactics and ways of employing people against different opponents. They took a more aggressive approach against the Nuggets, giving more freedom to the young core and trying to win by surprise. However, without a core at the back, they struggled to win in the end.
In the game against the Lakers, the Rockets paid more attention to the integrity of the lineup and the stability of tactics, and adopted a "team basketball" tactic, where everyone can score and everyone can defend, showing the wisdom and adaptability of Coach Udoka. In the next game against the Lakers, the Rockets will continue to play team basketball, which makes people look forward to their future performance.
