Congratulations to the Rockets! The shooting percentage of the three-point team has exceeded 40%!

In the NBA regular season this season, we can see from the statistics that the Rockets' three-point shooting percentage is in the middle and lower reaches among the 30 teams. It can be said that the Rockets' basket-scoring and mid-range shooting stability are quite good, but their three-point shooting percentage has always been low. The Rockets are not a three-point team, and three-point shooting is just one of the Rockets' scoring methods. Now Uduka and his players rely on three-point shooting, which is far less dependent than when D'Antoni led the team many years ago.

Think back then, the Rockets led by D'Antoni were always using a small lineup, and they also had a pretty gorgeous shooter group. There are three-point shooting points like Harden and Paul, as well as top shooters like Ryan Anderson and Gerald Green. The Rockets' main tactics at that time were under the basket and three-point shooting. As we all know, the Rockets' tactics were called "magic ball tactics" at that time. The Rockets relied on such tactics to fight invincible hands on the offensive end.

And now the Rockets led by Uduka are not a three-point team in the regular season, but recently we have found that in the last three games of the Rockets' playoffs, many of the Rockets' players not only have extremely high three-point shooting percentages, but also have a very impressive three-point shooting percentage in the entire Rockets' three-point shooting percentage in three games. From the statistics, we can see that in the fourth game, the Rockets' three-point shooting percentage was as high as 47.8%, and in the fifth game against the Warriors, the Rockets' three-point shooting percentage was 43.3%. In the sixth game between the two teams in the previous game, the Rockets' three-point shooting percentage was as high as 40%.

It can be said that after three games, the Rockets did become a three-point team, and several shooters in the team also exploded collectively. For example, Van Vreet's three-point shooting percentage reached 67% in three games, and he scored 18 three-pointers in three games; and three-point shooters such as Dillon Brooks, Holiday, and Jabbarry Smith Jr. also performed well.

The Rockets' overall three-point shooting percentage has been rising all the way in the last three games, and has always been above 40%, which is also the key reason why the Rockets can defeat the Warriors. In addition to Adams and Shin Kyung-kong who were inside, the Rockets' outside shooters rose collectively and beat the Warriors in three-point shooting. This is also the key to the Rockets being able to win two games in a row and tie the big score to 3:3.

So, this strategy of the Rockets has indeed achieved results now. The Twin Towers attract double teams in the interior, and the Warriors dare not invest more troops in the defense of the outside, so this gives Rockets' outside pitchers more opportunities to shoot open spaces, so the Rockets can equalize the score. With the top performance of the inside double towers, the Rockets' outside shooter group has gradually adapted to the rhythm of the game and the intensity of defense, and has quickly increased their shooting percentage. It can be said that the Rockets' internal and external lines echo each other, which is what Coach Wuduka has always wanted.

Regardless of whether the Rockets can advance to the next round of playoffs in the tiebreak battle, such tactics must be retained until next season's regular season.
