The Rockets must use double towers to make a comeback, and the efficiency value leads the entire league, and the Timberwolves Thunder follows closely

After returning to the Houston Toyota Center, the Rockets defended a home court, but the Rockets still face tremendous pressure to complete the promotion. In the last two games of the series, the Rockets must maintain a complete victory. If they lose any game, they will be eliminated, and they will be embarrassed by the Black Seventh.

Then if the Rockets want to make a comeback in the series, they may have to use the double towers in the inside. Because from the statistics, when the Rockets let Alperen Shinkyung and Steven Adams play together, the two of them + 32.2 net efficiency values ​​in a total of 54 minutes, leading the league's playoff players. Of course, the Rockets coaching staff arrangements are very targeted, but Stephen Curry is basically not present when using the inside double towers. On the one hand, the Rockets will not be named by military training. At the same time, without Stephen Curry, the opponent's offensive space will be more crowded, so that they can better play their inside advantage. In the next series, the Rockets coaching staff should carefully consider how to avoid effective punishment by their opponents while continuing their inside advantage.

Timberwolves and the Thunder are following closely. Both teams are currently entering the second round of the Western Conference, with the Timberwolves gentlemen sweeping the Lakers, which is a small unpopularity. One of the very important reasons why the Timberwolves won is that they have huge advantages in the interior, especially Rudy Gobert and Naz Reed were on the court for 40 minutes together, which was not particularly long, but the two were on the court with a net efficiency value of 13.8, ranking second in all combinations, which is also the key reason for the Lakers' defeat.

The Thunder's lineup is very luxurious, with Alexander and Jaylen Williams's Gemini on the outside, but the overall depth of the Thunder is also the first level in the league. For example, in the inside position, Chet Holmgren doesn't like and is good at being a center, so the Thunder came to Isaiah Haltenstein with a high salary in the offseason, and he effectively shared the pressure on Chet Holmgren. Judging from the performance of the first round of the playoffs, when the two were on the court together, their net efficiency was about 10, ranking third in the league. The key was that both of them were very flexible, and Chet Homegren also had the threat of stable shooting, which seemed terrible.

Cavaliers' inside double towers Jaret Allen and Evan Mobley ranked fourth on the list. Of course, the Cavaliers easily swept the Heat. If the game is more intense, their ranking may be higher. In the next round, the Cavaliers will encounter the Pacers. The opponent will easily win the Bucks in the first round, and also have the inside configurations of Pascal Siakam and Miles Turner. The next round should be very exciting.
