The NBA is a basketball league that has never lacked miracles, and many fans have their own memories of youth. But if you want to say that the most impressive NBA memories of domestic fans, it is the Rockets' 22-game winning streak that began at the end of January of the 07-08 season, after all, the Rockets at that time had the 2002 Chinese champion - Yao Ming, which can be called the home team of domestic fans. However, that magical experience has been 16 years away from now, and many people have forgotten who they relied on to achieve 22 consecutive victories, so they will learn from the past, and today the author will take you to review the original experience, and use specific performance and data to see who was the "real thigh" of the year.

At the beginning of the winning streak, Yao Ming went into battle with an injury to boost morale, and he was a well-deserved boss in the early stage

When the time came to January 30, 2008, the Rockets at this time will face the challenge of the Golden State Warriors at home, but at this time, the Rockets not only did not have the momentum of winning streak at all, but even the two main players in the team, Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, were also plagued by injuries and doubted, and the Rockets were demoralized. Therefore, in order to boost morale and make the fans at home less disappointed, Yao Ming announced that he would play with an injury and was ready to fight the Golden State gangs on his own. Yao Ming succeeded, defending his home court with a big double-double of 36 points and 19 rebounds, giving the Golden State people a bitter pill. However, even if Yao Ming got such luxurious data, the team still had a hard time winning, and the reason was that there were only two people who could give Yao Ming enough help in this game, one was role player Luther Hyde who scored 20 points, and the other was street ball king Alstom, who got a quasi-triple-double of 17 points, 12 assists and 8 rebounds, and the others did not get any high scores.

Then, on Feb. 2, the Rockets went to Indiana to challenge the Pacers. It may be that he was a little embarrassed to see Yao Ming playing with an injury, so Maddie, who was injured, was also on the court. But his appearance on the court was purely a side effect, not only dominating the ball in the whole game and only getting 19 points and 9 assists, which led to the team almost losing, but also making Yao Ming unable to connect with the rest of the team, and he could only get 17 points and 12 rebounds. Fortunately, everyone else played well in this game, except for Yao Mai, there were still 7 people who scored double-doubles. In the third game, I probably felt that I was sorry for my teammates because the pot I played was too big, so this time Maddie broke out, scoring 33 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists to help the team win the Bucks, and his teammates had such a strong desire to attack, Yao Ming did not fight or grab, and got 12 points and 12 rebounds.

In the fourth game, Maddy continued to steal the show, scoring 26 points, 7 assists and 6 rebounds to help the team narrowly beat the Timberwolves. As for why it is said to steal the show, because in this game, the ball could not reach Yao Ming and other teammates at all, resulting in Yao Ming's data of only 16 points and 5 rebounds, and the data of others did not exceed 15 points. In addition, Maddie often does not play according to the blocking and dismantling tactics arranged by the coach, and this game is even more solitary throughout the game. But fortunately, Maddy's brutality in Game 5 cost him - only 5 points and 5 rebounds in the first half. Looking at the game that was about to be lost, the coach realized who should put the ball in his hands, so the team completely handed over to Yao Ming in the second half, and directly defeated the Cavaliers in waves, helping the team win five consecutive victories with 22 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists.

In Game 6, because the last game proved how to play is an easier way to win the defense - with Yao Ming as the main offense, so this time Maddy did not play blindly, and with only 15 points and 8 assists, the Rockets beat the Hawks. As for Yao Ming, with 28 points and 9 rebounds, he is a well-deserved thigh for the team. In Game 7 and Game 8, the Rockets continued to beat the Trail Blazers and Kings respectively according to this posture, with Yao Ming and Maddy's statistics of 25 points and 7 rebounds, 25 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks, 12 points and 6 assists, 10 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists respectively.

In the middle of the winning streak, the team found the secret to winning, but Yao Ming could no longer hold on due to injury and entrusted his will to the whole team

After winning 8 consecutive games, except for Maddie, who sacrificed the ball, everyone in the Rockets enjoyed the fun of winning, and as the boss of the team, Yao Ming naturally saw Maddie's dissatisfaction, so he was unwilling to compete and let go again and share the ball with Maddie and others. At this time, the Rockets are no longer a team of one person, but a team of everyone. And just like that, the Rockets really started their winning streak – playing team basketball.

In the 9th game win over the Cavaliers, Maddy had 17 points and 8 assists, Yao Ming 16 points and 14 rebounds, Alston 22 points and 6 assists, and Scola 15 points and 8 rebounds; In the 10th game against the Heat, Yao Ming had 21 points and 9 rebounds, Maddy had 23 points and 10 assists, Scola had 11 points and 10 rebounds, Alston had 16 points and 11 assists, and Landry had 19 points; In Game 11, Yao Ming had 28 points and 14 rebounds, Maddy had 34 points and 6 assists, Alston had 11 assists and 9 points, and Landry had 11 rebounds; In the 12th game win over the Bulls, Yao Ming had 12 points and 6 rebounds, Maddy had 24 points and 8 assists, Battier had 11 points and 10 rebounds, Scola had 17 points, and Alston had 13 points. The victory of the four games, except for the game against the Hornets Yao Mai combination did not need anyone else to shoot, and multiple people scored in double figures in each game.

However, after finding a way to win, Yao Ming's injury could no longer support him to continue leading the team, and the entire Rockets team was suddenly plunged into darkness again. However, even if Yao Ming is injured, he will always sit on the sidelines to accompany his teammates, encourage them to continue playing team basketball, and urge everyone to continue to walk with his will. MAY HAVE BEEN BLESSED BY YAO MING'S SPIRITUAL BUFF, THE ROCKETS RELIED ON TEAM BASKETBALL TO WIN GAME 13 AGAIN. Against the Wizards, Hyde had 18 points, Scola 14, Alston 13, Landry 12 and Maddy 11. Seeing Yao Ming injured and Maddie, who was the team's boss on the spot, scoring only 11 points and they were able to win, the Rockets were finally convinced that they could really rely on teamwork to win. As a result, they continued to rely on team basketball to win 16 consecutive games in the next three games.

At the end of the winning streak, Maddie returned to brute force, and the 22-game winning streak finally ended with the Celtics, the championship that season

The winning streak is good, but the ball seems to be more fragrant. lost Yao Ming, although the Rockets are still playing team basketball, but in general, Maddie's ball possession is still the most concentrated, so in the 17th game, after 31 points and 9 assists to lead the team to victory, Maddie began his road to dominance again, and in the 18th game, he directly scored 41 points, 9 assists and 6 rebounds with a lot of shots to lead the team to victory over the Hornets, and the rest of the team was only point guard Alston who scored more than 10 points, and in the 19th game, Maddie played countless irons, and scored 19 points with many shots, Fortunately, opposite was the super underdog Nets, and the team won again. The Hawks in Game 20 and the Bobcats in Game 21 were also weak teams, so Maddie deserved to help the team win with 28 points, 9 rebounds and 30 points and 7 rebounds.

In the 22nd game, facing the strong rival Lakers, it was useless for Maddy to try to be brutal, after all, their interior and exterior defense were very solid, and it was very difficult to score, so Maddie only scored 11 points and 6 assists in this game. Thankfully, Alston came down in the second quarter to help the team lead by more than 10 points in waves, and then won the game by playing team basketball. In the 23rd game, in the face of the Celtics, whose defense is more perverted than the Lakers, Maddy was even more unable to do it, and only got 8 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists in the whole game, although relying on the play of other Rockets, the first two quarters bit the score, but without such a key player as Da Yao, the gap between the two teams still could not be bridged, and finally the Rockets defeated the Celtics 74-94, ending their 22-game winning streak.

Looking back on the Rockets' 22-game winning streak, it is clear who the team's true thighs were at that time. Although Yao Ming only led the Rockets to win the first 12 games, he led the team to find the secret of the winning streak, and then the Rockets also relied on playing team basketball to win all the way, so he is the team's well-deserved thigh and team soul. As for Maddie's performance, to put it mildly, he is very comprehensive, and his scoring explosiveness is occasionally strong, but if he doesn't sound good, he is bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and he is completely breaking out to brush up on the data when playing a weak team, which has nothing to do with the team's thighs at all.
