The Rockets have undergone huge changes since Durant came to the Rockets, and the bonuses he brought in other aspects are too great.
Share the changes after Durant came to the Rockets. Many people think that Durant came just because he changed the straight. It is far more than that. The bonus in other aspects is too great.
The biggest effect is the change in offensive space. Last year, the Rockets' shooting percentage was very low, and they all relied on rushing for offensive rebounds and forcing losses. Durant's arrival greatly liberated the space for others. Once they reach the sweet spot, they must double-team or it will be in vain. Once double-teamed, there will be open space on the outside. Therefore, the Rockets have become the team with the highest offensive efficiency this season.

The second point is the improvement of shooting ability. I don’t know if anyone has noticed that Jia’s shooting hand shape is different from last season. Especially when shooting free throws, his movements and range are exactly the same as Durant.
Durant's efficiency is terrible. He took fewer shots than the straight, but scored six or seven more points! A really skinny camel is bigger than a horse. In fact, Durant's free throw shooting has dropped to about 85% in recent years.

I think it is the price paid after practicing a lot of three-pointers in order to improve the three-point shooting percentage. In recent years, his three-point shooting percentage has basically been around 42%. Therefore, the problem of free throws is most likely to be like this.
With the current Rockets lineup configuration, he can reduce the consumption of rebounding, protecting the frame, and holding the ball, and focus more on scoring and assisting defense. I am worried about his single defense, because Xiao Jia, DFS, and Ethan all prefer the 4th position. In high-end games, it is difficult to defend the 3rd position, including Adu.

Many coaches use Durant wrongly. Durant is a mechanical monster, a big killer in critical moments, and cannot be used as a conventional weapon. Durant is a mechanical monster, and the default hit rate is 50% in the hard solution. This is the only one in the league.
However, many teams, including China and China, use Durant's singles as a regular offensive method, allowing him to play with the ball a lot in the first three quarters. This not only consumes Durant's physical strength in advance and affects the final finishing efficiency, but also is not conducive to the conduction of the ball, reduces the smoothness of the offense, and also causes the team to over-rely on Durant, affecting the development of other players' touch. This is what many black men call "singles hurting the team."

The really correct approach is to reduce Durant's playing time in the first half. In addition to letting Adu make a few shots in the opening stage to find his target, the rest of the time is to play team basketball and create opportunities through passing. Let Adu save his energy for the second half, especially the last quarter, when the two sides entered a stalemate and hand-to-hand combat, he came out with a hard solution. In this regard, I have to say that Cole is indeed a master of tactics. Whether in the Warriors or the national team, he always used Durant at critical moments, with the least playing time, but maximizing his effect.

To be honest, the Rockets are still getting used to it, their defense is coming back a little bit, and they made a lot of mistakes today. That's it, it's still three quarters! We should get used to this, let young people paddle well and exercise more! I said before the season that the Rockets' offensive efficiency will be greatly improved. Now the efficiency is even higher than I imagined. The main reason is that Adu is too efficient. The most terrible thing is that we are still running in and have not reached the peak. How do you think the opponent will play!
