21.5 million center signings in three years, the Rockets strengthen the tactics of the two towers? The 3 towers gather in the inside line, and 3 sets of combinations are released

This year's offseason, the Rockets' adjustment to the inside can be said to be quite large. First of all, they directly gave up the center Landale, who performed well in the previous two seasons. Because Langdale's contract is not guaranteed, the Rockets will lose no loss. In the end, the Rockets' third center last season went directly to the Grizzlies and signed with a basic salary.

The Rockets' inside line also gave up fourth center Enfalee Dante. Although the Rockets wanted to keep Dante at the beginning, the Rockets did not give Dante a two-way contract offer, and Dante was also signed by the Hawks with a two-year contract. At this point, the Rockets suddenly lost two centers, but in the offseason, the Rockets used the signing first and then exchange to get the former starting center Capela, with a contract of 21.5 million in three years.

You should know that Capela is the top defensive center in the league. Although she lacks independent offensive ability and shooting ability, her current moving speed and bounce ability are not as good as when she was young, but now as the third center of the Rockets, Capela's average annual salary of 7 million is still very worthwhile.

More importantly, Capela is tall enough that his ability to protect the basket, rebound and block shots are still very strong. The Rockets used more of the inside double tower tactics last season, especially in the playoffs, the double towers formed by Adams and Shin Kyung made the Warriors suffer. The Rockets lacked scoring ability at critical moments on the outside, and they did not lose in the inside.

So after signing center Capela, ESPN experts analyzed that the Rockets allowed three towers to gather in the inside, namely Adams, Capela and Shin Kyung. This intention is very obvious. Next season, the Rockets should not use single center tactics for a long time, but will use double tower tactics, and even strengthen the very successful double tower tactics last season.

In other words, in addition to the traditional double tower combination of Adams and Shin Kyung, the Rockets may also allow Capela to serve as a double tower partner next season. For example, in addition to Shin Kyung and Adams, let Shin Kyung and Capela partner with the double tower, and even let Adams and Capela form a defensive double tower combination.

Although the inside offensive ability of this pair is approaching 0, these two defensive double towers will make the Rockets' inside line airtight, as long as the two towers guard the basket and prevent the opponent from scoring easily. As for offense, the Rockets also have shooters such as Durant, Van Vreet, Jabarri Smith Jr. on the outside, so they can strengthen their offense, and let Capela and Adams focus on defense, so the Rockets can still defeat most of their opponents.

Therefore, Capela's arrival is considered a sign that the Rockets want to strengthen the two-tower tactics next season, which is still one of the very important tactics for the Rockets next season. Although he lost Dante and Langdale, Capela signed for 21.5 million in three years, and he will definitely not be idle next season. In the Rockets, if the two-tower tactics are used more, Capela's final tactical position will still be very important. Although it seems that he is only the third center, once the Rockets focus on using the two-tower tactics, Capela's playing time will naturally not be too small.

The Rockets will have super scorer Shin Kyung in the interior next season, as well as excellent defensive players Capela and Adams, and Smith Jr., who can serve as center, the Rockets' interior strength will be the top in the league next season.
