Why did the Rockets still lose the high-end game even with Durant here? The Rockets were stunned by the Spurs in the second half

Udoka is really overrated. I have to say that Udoka really has no good stuff. He has no offensive system at all. The offense is all about singles. Even if you don't have tactics, it doesn't matter. You can always find an offensive coach. His on-the-spot reaction is also very poor. He was really blown away by Cole in the playoffs last year. I always feel that he is similar to Rivers and is completely overrated.
Uduka's employment is really speechless. Shepard felt hot in the middle and late part of the second quarter, Capela was in good condition, but Uduka had to replace them. Shepard made two consecutive three-pointers to help the Rockets lead by ten points. When Shepard came off the court, the Rockets were overtaken by the Spurs in the second quarter, which also led to the Rockets being beaten stupidly by the Spurs in the second half. Uduka's employment today is really not flattering. Losing today may be a good thing. If you can wake up Uduka, this iron-headed kid!
Does the twin towers have any effect? Definitely! Can the Twin Towers be used? It will definitely work! The key is that as a head coach, you must learn to adapt to local conditions and adapt to changes! Today, the Spurs only have a serious inside line, and this is still a bug with full flexibility. If you trust the injured Adams without any brain, then the problem is too big! It's obvious that Capela can match the Spurs' offense today, but you only gave him 6 minutes!

If you can’t defend yourself from the outside, you can’t defend yourself from the inside either. So what’s the significance of the twin towers? Again, the twin towers can be used as a strange move to change the formation and affect the opponent's attack method! But if you think that the twin towers can become your main signature in Uduka, then you are overthinking it, and there will be more scenes of being blown up by three-pointers in the future!
Did Shepard play well today? Very good. With his offensive performance today, he is already one of the most threatening players from the outside! But Uduka's thinking was really rigid. Sheppard played for 14 consecutive minutes from 4 minutes in the third quarter to 2 minutes in the fourth quarter without even a minute's rest! If you let a rookie play for so long, the defense itself is not good. I really don't blame Shepard for missing several players in the last few minutes. Doesn't your head coach know that the players will get tired?
If you think he played well, he will fight from beginning to end! What’s the difference between this and last year’s Brother-in-law? I thought I played well and played a whole quarter, but in the end my physical strength couldn't hold it any longer! In the last 4/5 minutes of the defensive round, let Lai take the lead for 1-2 minutes, and then Shepard comes up in the offensive round. I think the situation will not be worse than it is now! Let’s talk about Laodu. Laodu has made a lot of mistakes since the start of the game!

There are two sides to this. The first is that the team level has tricked Laodu. Laodu himself is not good at organizing and driving the team with the ball, and the Rockets have no defenders, which leads to Laodu doing a lot of things that he cannot do! However, Laodu's own passing method is very problematic, and he makes many mistakes in cross-passing. I believe that Laodu will adjust himself!
The current situation is that the Rockets cannot trade or sign contracts, and can only rely on this wave of people. So the two biggest problems facing the Rockets! 1/How long should the Twin Towers play in each game? 2/Who will supplement the Rockets' perimeter development? The coach also has problems.

The lead before the end of the second quarter was because the opponent went to the liberal arts class, and then Uduka was in the top five. I thought why not to go to Austrian Technology, which led to a 1-point lead at halftime. As well as the main point guard, Sheppard was on the court, and I didn’t understand why Ethan and Smith were asked to dribble the ball across half court. I panicked when I saw the two of them dribbling the ball to the frontcourt. There was a point guard who refused to let Sheppard dribble.
Moreover, Shepard played very well in this game. When the fight was chaotic, Uduka did not let Shepard come on the court in time to organize it. There was a problem if the substitution was not timely. But the good thing about this game is that if the main players don't play well, they will make mistakes and make substitutions. Uduka did a good job in this regard.
