the rocket is flying a third of the attacking team

On the surface, the rocket is flying a third of the attacking team: every game thrown at least 10 three-pointers, setting a record, 253 shots and 104 hits were ranked first in the league. But in fact, Howard is the driving force behind the rocket launch. Last three games, "Warcraft" doubling shots, scores increased from the first four games, averaging 15 points to 20 points. Hit rate among the top five in the league (61.5 percent), he is the best weapon to attract double teams, the Rockets outside line group who voted easier and more natural.

But Howard is more good, still his line of work. Timberwolves yesterday, just to get rid of the flu plagued Howard fanout four big hat. Victory defense in the league standings coefficient, he and Trevor Ariza points out seven or eight, surprising is that, in the past two years, the defense suffered criticism Harden, even the fourth highest on this list.

Establish a team defense temperament affects everyone rocket. Since the start of the season, the Rockets, averaging only 90.9 points lost, the opponent's shooting percentage down to 40.7 percent, the third hit rate of 27.2% is more frightening, these three figures are the lowest league in offensive efficiency and maintain the offensive and defensive conversion rate, while the Rockets did not like to play small ball when the sun like the defense abandoned.

But also not so early conclusion. Rockets win seven opponents, mostly just "lottery" level, you can not test the rocket's compression capability. Once Howard can not play because of various reasons, experience Asik leave the rocket, the center position will be no suitable replacement - Rockets 8 games transform the five sets of the starting lineup, too weak bench, people will be afraid of Houston the time bomb.
