Uduka s formation change was successful, the Rockets abandoned the Twin Towers to activate Amen, and sent 8 assists. Shen Jing reduced the right to take shots.

The Rockets' lineup changes are a double-edged sword. In the game against the Nets, Udoka constantly tried two lineups to find a solution to the problem of not having the No. 1 position. Amen Thompson doesn't have the offense of last season. He averaged 14.1 points, 8.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game last year. Counterattacks and positional cuts have become the Rockets' offensive weapons. This season, his shooting percentage has declined, and his finishing ability at the basket is also not as good as before. The essential reason is that he needs to participate in a lot of ball-holding tasks at the top of the arc, which reduces the pie.

Amen Thompson struggled at the first position, his luck control was not up to standard, and there were no three-pointers. As a result, after Shen Jing held the ball, Amen standing in the bottom corner was useless. Last season he was considered a core player and was once considered a non-saleable asset of the team. After injuring VanVleet, his shortcomings were completely exposed. In the third year of his NBA career, Amen's offensive methods showed no improvement at all. If the Rockets cannot solve the problem at the No. 1 position, Amen Thompson can only go further and further down the wrong path. However, 8 assists in this game showed his passing ability, and the abandonment of the Twin Towers also activated him.

The Rockets have many number one positions, but none of them have the ability to start. Sheppard once again proved that he is not the answer for the back line. His only role on the court is the occasional flash of three-pointers. He spends most of the time outside the team, and the defense is passed by one step, and he is singled out. The offense does not have the ability to attack with the ball, and the three-pointers can only be open. The ability to control movement and escape is not enough to allow him to quickly release the ball. It is equivalent to a shot from the second position, playing basketball that he is not familiar with. He scored 15 points and 2 rebounds in this game.

Udoka's rotation was very cautious. In the first three games, it was only a regular rotation of 9 people. Holiday and Davidson at the back did not have many opportunities, and they were unwilling to give them a chance to try. The Rockets sealed the victory in the third quarter of this game, and the players at the end of the bench are expected to get opportunities in the final quarter. Uduka's change of formation was very successful. Okogie, who entered the starting No. 2 position, scored 2 of 2 from beyond the three-point line and scored 10 points in the game. He scored in double figures for two consecutive games. Although he did not have the ability to organize and pass, the defense was full and the offense was not lagging behind.

In the last 6 minutes of the final quarter, the game entered a period of no suspense. Davidson and Holiday finally got a chance. The 9-man rotation was too few for the current NBA and Rockets. Shepard played well with the third team, and Holiday and Davidson, the two No. 1 positions, both scored three points. Shen Jing put his skills to the test in this game, scoring 21 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists on 7-of-11 shooting. He played more relaxedly and clocked out in the third quarter with Durant.

In the last game, Shen Jing played 18 times and only hit 5 goals. Many singles under the basket were not effective. In this game against the Nets, Shen Jing changed his tactics and reduced one-on-one singles. He was 2 of 2 from beyond the three-point line. In the absence of a qualified No. 1 position, every player on the Rockets must do a good job of sharing the ball, and it will not work to fall into singles indefinitely. The Rockets' lineup changes in this game were very successful. The Twin Towers were abandoned in the starting lineup and they were only tried during the rotation. Getting the first win was just the beginning for the Rockets.
