Today's Rockets-Jazz game fully reflects the level of the coach!

Everyone knows that the rocket is the famous king of collapse in the fourth quarter. If the first three quarters can't open the gap with the opponent, it will be a gray memory of the Rockets being reversed by their opponents many times in the fourth quarter. However, since this season, Jazz has turned life into a joke. Many times, they dug a pit for themselves in front, then climbed up slowly from the pit and defeated their opponents in the fourth quarter. Rockets and Jazz are destined to be typical pros and cons this season, from the season opener to the final game, and then they will open up new battlefields in the playoffs. This is not a simple on-the-spot contest between players on the technical and tactical level. In-depth consideration will be given to the temperament of the two teams, the thickness of the bench and the strategy of the head coach.

Losing at home is no accident. From the competition, the success and gap of the rocket are summarized. Before the Rockets led their opponents by 7 points at 77: 70, they did a very good job in defense, effectively limiting Jazz's running shot, and finally got 8 points to seal the victory. Before that, the buzzer 1 hit, Delong 15 hit 5, and Okur 18 hit 7. The jazz's hit rate was obviously lower than usual, and the whole game was similar. In rebounding and inside attack, the Rockets are better than their opponents, which is the embodiment of Yao Ming's 80% recovery. As the strongest point of the Rockets, Jazz can't restrain him, and the shooting rate of 24 shots 1 1 is not high, and it just barely passes. The above defense and inside are obviously better than Jazz. Let's talk about the failure of the rocket in this game.

Reason 1. The attack of role players is abnormal.

This should be the biggest reason for the defeat. Hayes, Battier and Si Tong made 7 of 23 shots without making any free throws. Although Si Tong's shooting percentage continued to be low in the last game, his three-pointers and free throws played a role in stabilizing the morale of the army, so it is necessary to be the main ball control of the team. When he spent all his energy chasing Delong and received four fouls. 10 is natural. Hyde is disgusting, but you will miss his big heart at this time.

Reason two. McGrady doesn't play well.

Fisher and AK47 both have defensive techniques that limit McGrady, which is the biggest concern of the Rockets and the biggest focus of whether the playoffs can go further. When McGrady returned from Yao Ming and averaged nearly 65,438+00 assists per game and dropped to only four, the Rockets also took a step further to failure. Yao Ming, who regained 80% dominance, became the most stable point of the Rockets, but the most terrible point of the Rockets was always McGrady, whose play dominated the Rockets. The once-sober Rockets 1 actually chose to pass the ball to Yao Ming at the last minute, which shows how much defensive pressure he encountered in this game. I hope McGrady in the playoffs will not be like today.

Reason for failure 3. Jazz pick-and-roll has no solution.

Please note that Yao Ming must be responsible for the lack of moving speed here. From the last game against the Lakers, you can easily see that Kobe faced Yao Ming's defense many times after the pick-and-roll dislocation. Pulling Yao Ming to a high position to prevent pick-and-roll is a very dangerous defensive tactic. If you think that Jazz can only shoot, Yao Ming's height can definitely interfere with the opponent's shooting, then it is completely wrong. Deron, Buzzer and Okur, almost five jazz players started, and their breakthrough ability was not weak. No matter whether Yao Ming pulls to the high position or not, Jazz's pick-and-roll has no solution to the Rockets. You can only hope that the opponent can't find the touch today, just like Boozer did before he broke out today. It's a pity that today's outbreak after the iron strike happened at the most critical moment of the game. The buzzer sounded 1 in the first 22 minutes, and scored 8 points on 3-for-4 shooting in the last 4 minutes, pulling the jazz back from the death line.

Reason for failure 4. The step depth is insufficient.

Chaplin, millsap, Girichek and Collins, the four jazz substitutes, played a key role in the game whether they broke through Sharp or rebounded well, but on the other hand, the Rockets scored only 1,1.26.

Reason for failure 5. Section 4 Disintegration of Old Habits

This is not a new topic, only related to personnel composition and team temperament. Usually, teasing is a matter of personality.

If the schedule is not favorable, it can almost be concluded that the Rockets have no home court advantage, and sometimes the home court is not the whole game. Today's home game is lost, which means that having a home game may not be able to beat the Jazz, but not having a home game will only be more dangerous. The urgent task is to improve your weakness as soon as possible, and then make great efforts to study Jazz's all-round offensive and defensive tactics, find a breakthrough, and hit it with one blow. This is the most critical.
