Yao Ming will officially join the NBA Hall of Fame. How strong is he?

At the peak of Yao Ming's career, in 2009, he was the first center in the NBA. The first person to attack and defend in the restricted area. He was the best inside scorer, the best inside axis and a master center in the NBA. No matter how to deal with him (perimeter, flank), the rocket has a corresponding routine as a counterattack, and he is the only axis.

As for Yao Ming's softness, Yao Ming's inability to pass the ball and Yao Ming's poor defense ... er, I'm sorry, at the peak of Yao Ming's life, these accusations are old.

Let's talk about Yao Ming's selection at its peak.

In the 2002-03 season, he played 29 minutes per game, played 82 times and played 2383 minutes. Average 14 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists per game.

In the 2003-04 season, he played 33 minutes per game, played 82 times and played 2692 minutes. Average 18 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists per game.

In the 2004-05 season, he averaged 3 1 minute, played 80 times and played for 2447 minutes. Average 18 points and 8 rebounds 1 assists (McGrady's first season with the Rockets)

In the 2005-06 season, he played 34 minutes per game, 57 times, 65,438+0,949 minutes. Average 22 points 10 rebounds and 2 assists per game.

In the 2006-07 season, he played 34 minutes per game and played 48 times, 1 624 minutes. Average 25 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists per game.

In the 2007-08 season, he played 37 minutes per game, played 55 times and played 2044 minutes. Average 22 points 1 1 rebounds and 2 assists per game. (In the past three years, McGrady has also been injured, so Yao Ming and his data are actually very uneven. )

In the 2008-09 season, Yao Ming averaged 34 minutes and played 77 times, averaging 20 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists-as the only trump card of the team, he led the team to the Western Conference semifinals.

Say in stages.

Characteristics of Yao Ming in the 2002-05 season:

-compared with later, extremely flexible; At the same time, thin.

-There are quite a few shots after the start of the pick-and-roll and shots after the middle distance.

-Tips praised by America.

At this stage, Yao Ming's shortcomings are:

-insufficient strength or depth.

-Defensive details are not solid enough. It's about confrontation

-Instability as the first attack point.

-This is also the stage when Yao Hei likes to say that Yao Ming is "soft".

Characteristics of Yao Ming in the 2005-08 season:

-the strength soared, and a large number of left-backs started singles.

-has become one of the strongest inside finishers in the league. Give him the ball and he will score.

-truly become the overlord of the restricted area, and both ends of attack and defense can rule near the basket.

At this stage, Yao Ming's shortcomings are:

-Not good at dealing with attacks.

-The problem of slow movement makes it easy to be bypassed.

-Defensive range is insufficient, and it is always a headache to meet the Sun (Stoudemire).

-This is also the stage when people generally think that "Yao Ming is afraid of attacking, Yao Mingcan can't pass the ball, Yao Ming is afraid of bypassing the front, and Yao Ming's defense is poor".

-Fact: In recent years, the defensive efficiency of the Rockets is the sixth, third and second in the NBA. Yao Ming is a veritable demon king in recent years.

It is generally believed that the peak of Yao Ming is the 2006-07 season, because the data is really the best.

But judging from the scenes and achievements, his peak is the 2008-09 season.

The reason for this is the following：

-In the 2008-09 season, Yao Ming's figures declined, but that was because of his playing time and weight loss.

-In the 2005-08 season, Yao Ming existed as "the team's chief inside scorer", while in the 2008-09 season, Yao Ming was already the axis of the team.

-The rocket routine of that year can be roughly summarized as follows:

Yao Ming hit the left waist axis and Scola hit the right waist high position; Adelman's position is actually a bit like a triangle offense. If Yao plays alone, he can quickly shift the weak position. If he can't, Scola starts to attack the high position.

In the -08-09 season, Yao Ming's routine of "struggling for singles" was reduced, and more was a clean comeback. He averaged 20 points per game and shot an astonishing 55%, playing the best defense of his career.

-In Yao Ming that year, it was really "you should either block Yao Ming with all your strength, let the rocket hit the right waist and turn around and slap you;" Either you let Yao Ming kill you ". At that time, the rocket really reached the point where "we rely on Yao Ming, and we can cope with whatever routine you have".

Written in February 2009:

In the 2002-05 season, Yao Ming was flexible and delicate, but not hard enough.

In the 2005-08 season, Yao Ming worked hard, but was fierce, but not healthy and flexible enough.

In the 2008-09 season, Yao Ming really overcame various problems and became the axis of the team. Less mistakes, timely passing, effective containment, and still maintain the league's top offensive and defensive capabilities in the restricted area.

In the 2008-09 season, he was the NBA's second team of the year, and in the game against NBA's first team center Dwight:

Yao Ming scored 22 points 13 rebounds and Dwight 13 points and 9 rebounds.

Yao Ming scored 20 points 16 rebounds and Dwight 13 points 10 rebounds.

And he led the team to kill the Blazers, and the Rockets played the second round for the first time since 1997.

Against the Lakers, the first game was injured, with 28 points 10 rebounds. In the third game when he fell, he scored 19 points and 14 rebounds. His opponent is Bynum+Gasol+Odom's first interior wall.

In 2009, Yao Ming was the first center in NBA. The first person to attack and defend in the restricted area.

It's that simple.

He was the best inside scorer, the best inside axis and a master center in the NBA. No matter how to deal with him (perimeter, flank), the rocket has a corresponding routine as a counterattack, and he is the only axis.

Think about it carefully: In addition to Yao Ming, there were Brooks, Scola, Cishiping and Battier. These people, the second round of the west? 54 wins in the regular season?

The Gasol brothers never did it: led the team to the second round of the West alone.

Never.

The first tycoon, in 2009, deserved it.

Let's talk about his 28 points 10 rebounds and winning at home:

In the first three quarters, he patiently threw back the jumper, especially many jumpers turned to the baseline. Avoid physical contact, and the hand will remain stable. It's too easy. The Lakers insider can't control him at all.

But in the fourth quarter, after the Lakers' classic pressure ball came, he could not enjoy it lightly. When you go to the free throw line, press your knee with your hand: he has never rested, and he is tired.

Then the moment came: Kobe and I crossed our knees and fell down.

Then: He went into the aisle, refused to go back to the dressing room, talked with the doctor, held the wall and moved his legs, and then came back.

This is not the first time. 1970 in the seventh game of the finals, Willis Reid limped out of the aisle of Madison Garden and walked to Chamberlain, and the audience roared like a tsunami. "Full-court madness!" This is what new york commentators shouted to themselves at that time. He later admitted that he couldn't hear. In the first game of the 2008 finals, Paul Pierce walked out of the aisle and was surrounded by mountains and mountains.

So there was Brooks' save and Yao Ming's continuous free throws. Get red at Staples Arena, a red cliff. In the face of the three rivers, there is no way out. The so-called tough guy does not stab his opponent with a set of gorgeous chasing swords; But I still smiled with blood in my eyes and stood there with my hands outstretched, even though my knees hurt almost unbearable. It is such a person who has the freshest blood and can set off the fiery red of the east wind and fire.

His first victory over the Lakers was the real pinnacle of his career. He was injured, fell down, and came back. Kobe Bryant, the three major insiders of the Lakers, just couldn't stop him.
