Together they scored 59 points, 23 rebounds and 18 assists! The Rockets’ three giants supported the inside and outside lines, and the shooters were full of firepower.

With three tactical cores, coupled with a group of excellent three-point shooters, the Rockets' offensive ability is now the best in the league. Even on the defensive end, the current Rockets' defense seems not as good as last season. However, their defensive foundation is still there, especially after Finney-Smith returns, the Rockets' perimeter defensive ability will quickly improve. Therefore, the Rockets only need to maintain their current offensive tactics and improve their defense. They are still the most promising team.

After VanVleet was injured, it was a bit of a "blessing in disguise" for the Rockets, because VanVleet has occupied the Rockets' starting position at No. 1 for a long time. He has the ball in his hands for a long time. Thompson can only serve as a forward, while Shepard plays more often without the ball, just like last season. Now the Rockets have to change their formation and let Shepard and Amen Thompson serve as point guards to attack in tandem and pass the ball to their teammates. Although the Rockets lost the first two regular season games, it was frustrating, but Amen and Shepard did get a chance to practice, and that was enough. It's worth it to activate two young point guards with two losses.

Now the Rockets' tactical system is very clear. On the basis of ensuring defense, the Rockets mainly rely on the Big Three of Amen, Shen Jing and KD to play. As analyzed by some experts, the three star players of the Rockets can all initiate offense with the ball in hand. They can not only connect the whole team, but also "go it alone" with the ball, and the effect is also good. Needless to say, Durant is the top scorer in the NBA and is proficient in all shooting techniques.

Shen Jing is one of the best low-post offensive centers in the NBA, and now his three-point shooting ability has also improved. Amen Thompson is also very capable of cutting and breaking through. These three players serve as bait to attract double-teams from the opponent. At this time, the Rockets' shooter group is activated. As long as the Big Three pass the ball to them, these shooters can easily hit the field goal. Eason, Sheppard, Okogie and Smith Jr. have really been able to shoot whatever they want in recent games. This is the result achieved by the Rockets without shooter Aaron Holiday.

The three giants have attracted too much defense. Therefore, the work that the Rockets' shooters have to complete is very simple. They only need to hit three-pointers from the outside. This season, Ethan, Smith Jr., Okogie, and Sheppard all have higher three-point shooting percentages than last season. The Big Three of the Rockets have supported the team, especially the offensive end.

Against the Celtics, Shen Jing, KD and Amen scored 59 points, 18 assists and 23 rebounds. The data proved that the Rockets' Big Three have entered an excellent state. If they can stay healthy, the Rockets are still one of the favorites to win the championship.
