The Rockets five major lineups finally have an effect!
3:02am, 31 October 2025Basketball
NBA regular season, the Rockets defeated the Raptors 139-121. In this game, the Rockets maintained a perfect offensive trend, and the top five players in the final quarter were also a major focus. Because during that period they pulled from 9 points to 18 points to end the game, this time the five major players finally did not collapse. These five people are Shen Jing, Durant, Smith, Amen and Adams.

The current playing style of this lineup on the court is very clear, that is, Shen Jing is the core point. When the opponent double-teams Shen Jing, he can pass to Durant and Smith. Durant is in very good condition now and completed his runaway performance today. Moreover, Smith's offensive shooting percentage is also improving this season. These two people can stabilize the offensive performance. In addition, Amen can also maintain an air cut. If Shen Jing sees it, he can also assist Amen.

So when Shen Jing is not flanked, Shen Jing can remain alone. Because Shen Jing has the ability to attack independently, the hit rate guarantee in this game is also good, which allows the top five to be very flexible.
More importantly, Adams protects offensive rebounds very well. Even if he can't make a shot from the outside, he can still grab offensive rebounds, which allows his teammates to shoot with more confidence.

Of course, there are still five major hidden dangers, such as the defensive end is still too weak. On the one hand, this is because he is too tall. If the defense changes frequently, it will give the opponent opportunities to open. There is also the fact that Durant is too prone to mistakes when holding the ball at the top of the arc. This is also the reason why people who went to the top five in the past were bombed. Looking at it now, it is very clear that the Big Five can only be used occasionally and cannot become conventional weapons. Fortunately, Uduka also figured this out, but he still has to minimize the possibility of playing frequently.
