Rockets backcourt core: We don t care about the opponent s arrangement at all, we will read the opponent s defense

Basketball

In a previous NBA playoff game, the Houston Rockets defeated the Golden State Warriors who played at home 115-107. After this game, the Rockets, who won two consecutive games, have tied the total score of the series to 3-3. Next, both sides will return to Houston to prepare for the G7 game. This tiebreak battle will also determine who can enter the Western Conference semi-finals. In this game, Fred VanVleet, the hero who helped the Rockets win, was interviewed by reporters, and he also talked about his mission in the game and his role in this young team.

When talking about my own game mission, Van Vleet said: The game is dynamic, and I don’t care about the opponent’s tactical arrangement at all. One of our killer moves throughout the season is the omnipotence of the offensive end. We will switch the terminator at any time according to the opponent's defensive changes. Our core tactics will not change, but in the end, you must understand and read the opponent's defensive gaps and get the points you deserve. As for my task, my task is to act decisively when opportunities arise and maintain a good pace of shooting. Speaking about my role on the team, VanVleet continued: I have been preparing for the game last summer and I have been training all summer in order to be able to play at these critical moments. I have taken on different roles in this team over the past two seasons and my goal is to stimulate the potential of the entire team. I have always been proud to be able to show in big scenes. When the team needs me to stand up, I am always ready and I will try my best to play key performances.

Since the playoffs, Van Vleet's average playing time in the first 6 games has reached 39.3 minutes, with averaging 19 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.3 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers and 2 fouls. His shooting percentage is 42.5%, his three-point shooting percentage is 42.9%, and his free throw shooting percentage is 100%. In the series G6, VanVleet also continued his previous good momentum. He made 7 of 13 shots, 6 of 9 from outside the three-point line, and 9 of 9 free throws in the game. He scored the highest score of 29 points and 8 rebounds and 8 assists. He also had 2 turnovers and 3 fouls, and the plus and negative value also reached +12.

VanVleet's performance in the first three games of the playoffs was a mess, and his condition was also very worrying. Everyone thinks that it is completely unacceptable to him with a maximum salary contract that he can only play at such a level. Unexpectedly, in the following three games, Van Vleet's performance changed drastically, his offensive efficiency rebounded significantly, and his scoring ability and shooting ability were fully utilized. VanVleet is undoubtedly an indispensable key figure for the team, and his performance will largely determine the Rockets' trend in the series G7. Can he continue such a strong performance in G7?
