The fans who used to be Yao Mai are now over thirty years old! I really loved the Rockets, even if it was just a win in the regular season, it could make us happy for an afternoon! Looking back now, in addition to the "Maddy Moment", which is the 22-game winning streak of the 07-08 season, which is still worth remembering!
Let's take a look at the composition of the rocket team and where did they go afterwards? See if any of them have won the championship?
The Rockets' 22-game winning streak was also a feast for fans that season!
<h1>The once dismal operation of the Rockets, yao Mai's teammates around the quality of the difference is outrageous! </h1>
Fans in Yao Mai's time knew that the Rockets were one of the poorest teams in the league at that time, and due to the impact of 9/11, Alexander's wealth shrank sharply, and Alexander's divorce from his wife also cost him $250 million! So in 2002, the Rockets really valued Yao Ming's strength and potential in selecting Yao Ming? Although it is undeniable that Yao Ming's potential is great, alexander was more concerned about it at that time at the level of business!
Yao Ming's first appearance at the Toyota Center!
In addition, at that time, rocket general manager CD Dawson was old and close to retirement, and the thing That Dawson often did in those years was to use Yao Mai as a gimmick to attract some old people to join the Rockets!
So at the peak of Yao Mai, the Rockets' starting backcourt was a very mismatch between Bob Sula and David Wesley, Sula retired in 2005, Wesley retired in 2007, and the old men who joined the Rockets were all retiring! Substitute Joan Barry retired in 2006, Anderson retired in 2008, Padgett retired in 2007, the only young is still a rookie stunned Luther Hyde! At that time, I thought about nothing, but now it seems that Yao Mai was really delayed!
Finally, in the 06-07 season, Dawson retired, and Morey, who was good at data analysis, began to take office! This season, the Rockets signed Battier and Wells, and then in the summer of 2007, the Rockets added players such as Scola, Landry and Brooks, so the Rockets' 22-game winning player framework was built!
Scola is the best big forward Yao Ming has ever matched in his career!
<h1>"Heaven, place, people", what are the data of Rockets Yao Ming and Maddy in this wave of winning streaks? </h1>
This wave of winning streak Rockets is very clever, first of all, the day, that year the league did not have many strong teams, the Rockets in this schedule was lucky to only encounter the Hornets and Lakers two strong teams; followed by the geographical advantage, the Rockets 22 consecutive wins in 15 games were played at home in Houston; and finally, the people, the players in the team at that time were very cohesive, after Yao Ming was injured, Mutombo stood up and called on everyone to continue the winning streak! So the Rockets players also held their breath in their hearts, and fought until they beat the Lakers to stand in the first position in the West!
This year was Maddy's last season of scoring 20+ points, and in this wave of winning streaks, Maddy averaged 22 points and 6.1 assists per game, especially in the two games against the hornets, Maddy scored 34 points and 41 points respectively, which is the biggest contributor to the team's winning streak!
This season is Maddy's final peak!
After Van Gundy entered the club, Yao Ming gradually began to become the core of the team, especially in the 07-08 season, the tactical core of Dayao was far more than Maddy! In the first twelve games, Yao Ming got 21.5 points, 11.1 rebounds, 2 assists and 1.2 blocks, in fact, this data is already lower than the average data of Dayao this season!
And the data to get the increase is Alstom, Alstom during the win streak data is 15.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 6.6 assists, and the season average data is only 13.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 5.3 assists, especially in the 22nd game, Alstom shot 8 three-pointers, almost single-handedly defeated the Lakers!
In 2007, Yao Ming's tactical proportion had already surpassed Maddy's!
<h1>How did the Rockets end this season? How far have the playoffs gone? </h1>
Because Yao Ming was reimbursed halfway through the season, the Rockets only got a result of 55 wins and 27 losses in the end, and the Suns also had 55 wins, while the Jazz team was 54 wins, and the result was that because of the division and the relationship between each other, the Jazz ranked fourth in the West, the Rockets fifth, and the Suns sixth! So the First Round of the Playoffs Rockets met their old rivals, the Jazz, again!
As a result, the Rockets collapsed after the game began, and after four games, the Jazz took the lead in the game point 3:1, although maddy scored 29 points in the fifth game and 40 points in the sixth game, the Rockets still lost 2:4 to the Jazz and fell in the first round of the playoffs!
After losing to the Jazz in the playoffs, Maddy left the court!
<h1>What did the rocket players' subsequent careers look like? Did you win the championship? </h1>
Maddy, in 2009 Maddy's back injury recurred, and finally before the 09-10 season trade deadline, Morey sent Maddy to the Knicks through a three-way trade, when the Rockets got Kevin Martin, Jordan Hill, Jeffries, Armstrong, a first-round and a first-round swap, although it was reluctant at the time, but now it seems that this trade Rockets are the more profitable side! Maddie announced his retirement in 2013 after moving between the Pistons, Hawks and Spurs!
Yao Ming, Yao Ming suffered an injury in the second round of the playoffs in 2009 against the Lakers, and then reimbursed for the entire season 09-10, and only played 5 games in the 10-11 season, Yao Ming was injured by Wizards center McGee, and then reimbursed again! After consecutive injuries and contract expirations, Yao Ming, who was only 30 years old, left the NBA in frustration!
Because of injuries, these two resumes are not exciting enough!
Alstom, Alstom was traded to the Magic by the Rockets in 2009, and then the StreetBall King followed the Magic to the Finals, but unfortunately lost to the Lakers 1:4 in the end, regrettably failed to get the championship ring! At the end of the 09-10 season, Alstom announced his retirement!
Battier, after Yao Ming left, the rocket team, which was in urgent need of a big man, actually exchanged Battil for a parallel cargo tabit, which proved that the rocket team lost his wife and folded the soldiers! However, Battier then won two championship rings at the Heat, and Battier successfully retired at the end of the 13-14 season!
Bunch Wells, Wells was traded to the Hornets by the Rockets before the 2008 trade deadline, and Wells announced his retirement at the end of the season!
Cal landri, landri left the Rockets together in the Maddy trade, and when he first arrived at the Kings, Landry once averaged 18+7 per game, but then his short stats and injuries gradually made Landry lose his position, and when he retired in the 15-16 season, Landry was only 32 years old!
Landry, like Scola, is Yao Ming's right and left arm on the inside!
Lutherhead, Hyde left the Rockets in 2009 and declared unemployed after becoming a free agent in 2011!
Francis has also played 10 games with the Rockets this season, averaging 5.5 points per game, and announced his retirement at the end of the season!
Brooks, the Rockets in 2011 with Brooks to exchange Dragic and a first-round draft pick, after leaving the Rockets Brooks played ups and downs, once came to the CBA gold rush, and finally announced his retirement after the 17-18 season!
Novak left the Rockets in 2008 and then persisted in the league until 2017, and in the last 400 games in 9 seasons, Novak has only played 5 starts in total, making him the most tenacious player in this group!
Mutombo, after being injured in the first round of the playoffs in 2009, announced his retirement!
Hayes, Hayes got a big contract with the Kings in 11 years, then returned to the Rockets in 15 years, announced his retirement as a Rockets player, and the ending was perfect!
Although Hayes is short in height, many big centers in the league can't beat him!
Looking back now, there were no players on that Rockets team except Yao Mai! In the championship, only Battier fulfilled his dream of winning the championship with the Heat, in addition to Maddy and Alstom also have a chance to get close to the championship, but unfortunately Maddy's championship was ruthlessly killed by Ray Allen, and Alstom failed to fulfill his dream on the Magic, not only the championship but also in other personal honors, this batch of Rocket players did not get some comforting awards, so for most of them, the 22-game winning streak in the 07-08 season was already their most brilliant moment!
