The NBA league pattern is changing rapidly. After Harden left the Rockets, the Rockets lineup still has something to watch, but in the strong West, it would be a luxury to make the playoffs. After Harden came to the Nets, the depth of the Nets lineup was affected. After consecutive losses to the Cavaliers, the Nets are still in the throes of running the lineup. It is still unknown whether the subsequent running-in success. Harden’s departure was not an accident. The Rockets chose to risk abandoning the inside line last season and became the fuse of the whole thing. Now, Capella, who was abandoned by the Rockets, has returned to the fans’ vision, in recent games. With luxurious statistics, he has grown into the league's top defensive insider.
In the NBA regular season ending today, the Eagles defeated the Timberwolves 116-98 to get a three-game winning streak, and in this game, the Eagles insider Capela played very luxurious data. He played 30 minutes in the game and made 5 of 11 shots. Capela contributed 13 points, 19 rebounds and 10 blocks. He became the first player to score 10 blocks in the past five years. In addition, he scored 10 blocks in a single game without fouling. Capela is the fourth player in history to get this data. It is not accidental to get such luxurious data. Capella has played the best performance of his career in the past few games.
In the past four games, Capela averaged 22 points, 18.8 rebounds and 5.5 blocks per game, and his shooting percentage was 57.5%. The data for these four games were 25 points, 15 rebounds and 4 blocks, 23 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks, 27 points, 26 rebounds and 5 blocks, and 13 points, 19 rebounds and 10 blocks. Although not the absolute main force of the Eagles, Capella was stunned to play the league's top inside performance, this defensive dominance is absolutely unmatched in the league.
Why is such a strong Capella traded by the Rockets? Last season, in order to maximize Westbrook’s breakthrough ability and liberate the inside space, the Rockets took the risk and sent Capella away to play the ultimate five-small lineup. Although Westbrook played the expected performance in the regular season, the Rockets did in the playoffs. collapsed. Facing the Lakers in the semifinals of the playoffs, the Rockets were blown off defensively without inside, and Westbrook’s performance on the offensive end was very hip.This directly led to the Rockets' defeat in the series, and this also led Westbrook and Harden to make plans to leave the team.
Capela played such a performance, I believe that the Rockets at this moment will regret it secretly, assuming Capela did not leave the team last season, the Rockets will not lose so ugly in the playoffs. Even if Westbrook leaves the team, the Rockets’ main lineup is still there. In the past many seasons, Harden’s offensive omnipotence has benefited to a certain extent from Capella’s role, and Capella’s growth has benefited from Harden’s feeding. For the ball, if Westbrook leaves the team and the Rockets are making a certain degree of reinforcement, Harden may consider staying in the team for another year, but the serious deformity of the lineup makes Harden no hope of winning the championship, and the decision to leave the team will change. It has to be simple.
