First, tactical advantage.
The strength of the perimeter has indeed increased, and there is a great sense of space when attacking, which gives Shao Wei and Harden many opportunities to break through. The defense of the team has also been improved to a certain extent, and the overall conversion speed of the team is faster. Covernton is a well-known 3D player in the league. His good defense and three-point ability on the perimeter have brought more offensive opportunities to the team. This is also the reason why the death five groups performed fairly well in the regular season and did not fall out of the forefront of the league strength because of the team's big change.
Second, the tactical disadvantage.
The "five small deaths" attack is really strong, but it still exposes great problems in defense. First of all, the internal height is not enough. As a center, Tucker's height is only 1.98, so it is difficult to protect the basket and cause many unnecessary fouls. Secondly, the rebound protection is not as good as that of cappella, and it is easy to lose rebounds in the backcourt. There is no better center in the team at present. Although Tucker is notoriously hard, it is very easy to cause Tucker's injury without good internal rotation. The playoffs are a defensive game. No matter how beautiful the regular season is, the attack is also sharp. That's because many teams don't work hard. Once you fall into the best-of-seven playoff system, the other team will adjust your lineup accordingly. However, the death toll of the rockets is small, and the style of play is really too single. Harden's sudden attack was too small, and the attack was over. Fortunately, it rained for three minutes, which seems to win quickly, but once you miss, it will be difficult to win the game.
