NBA playoff experience
Rockets 1-4 Lakers in 2003-04 season
In 2003-04, Yao Ming became the team's scoring champion in the second season, and helped the Rockets return to the playoffs as the seventh in the regular season. However, the Rockets' opponent in the first round is the Lakers with F4. No matter from the strength, experience or home advantage, the rockets are completely at a disadvantage, and their goal is also very clear, that is, to seek a breakthrough based on training. Yao Ming, who participated in the playoffs for the first time, is obviously quite immature. He left with six fouls in the first game, and his performance was not satisfactory. Only 65,438+065,438+00 points were scored in 4 of 65 shots. Yao Ming's best performance was in the third game. He 13 made 9 shots and scored 18 points 10 rebounds to help the team win the only victory. In the fifth game, Yao Ming was exhausted. He 10 made 3 shots and only got 10 points and 5 rebounds. Throughout the series, he played 37 minutes per game, contributed 15 points, 7.4 rebounds 1.4 blocks, shot 45.6%, 2.6 turnovers and 4 fouls. The main figures are lower than those in the regular season. This shy trip to the regular season made Yao Ming understand the cruelty of the playoffs, and at the same time he was full of longing for the next game.
Rockets 3-4 Mavericks in 2004-05 season
In the 2004-05 season, the Rockets won the two-time scoring champion McGrady, and the Yao-Mai combination shone brilliantly in the first season. The Rockets advanced to the playoffs again as the fifth regular season player in the Western Conference, against the Texas Brothers Mavericks. In the first game, Yao Ming was fouled. He only played for 20 minutes, and only got 1 1 point and 8 rebounds on 3 of 8 shots. However, McGrady is brilliant, helping the Rockets win on the road. In the second game, Yao and McGrady joined hands, especially McGrady scored the highest 33 points and threw the winning goal at the last minute. However, the Rockets who returned home suffered a three-game losing streak. Yao Ming played well in these three games, but the team was in poor condition. In the crucial sixth game, Yao Ming played a mediocre game, but the Rockets won an unexpected victory. In the last game, Yao Ming scored 33 points, 10 rebounds, blocked five times, and McGrady also scored 27 points. But most of Yao Ming's scores were in garbage time, and McGrady sought to go it alone at the critical moment of scoring, so that they bid farewell to the playoffs by 40 points. This playoff gave Yao Hei an excuse, that is, the higher Yao Ming scored, the worse the performance of the Rockets, and also gave Mai Hei a reason, that McGrady was too independent and soft, and these reasons have even continued to this day.
In the 2006-07 season, the Jazz Rockets won 3 and lost 4.
In the 2006-07 season, the Rockets returned to the playoffs after a year. This time, for the first time, Yao Ming had home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs, and his opponent was the champion jazz in the northwest. Yao Ming, who has grown into a superstar, has obviously adapted to the atmosphere of the playoffs. He scored 28 points 13 rebounds in the first game and 27 points and 9 rebounds in the second game, helping the team lead 2-0. However, in Salt Lake City, Yao Ming played extremely badly, with two games 13 mistakes, which could not stop Boozer's attack. The Rockets had no choice but to return to Houston with a two-game losing streak. After returning to China, Yao Ming's performance has improved. He scored 2 1 point and 15 rebounds and led the team to win the game against McGrady. In Game 6, Yao Ming made another 8 mistakes, and the Rockets missed the opportunity to eliminate the Jazz in advance. In Game 7, although Yao Ming and McGrady both scored 29 points, the Rockets failed to protect their rebounds at the last moment. Boozer seized the opportunity to score continuously and finally regretted losing the game. In this series, Yao Ming averaged 37. 1 min and got 25. 1 min 10.3 rebounds, averaging 4.7 turnovers. Apart from mistakes, Yao Ming's biggest problem was that he couldn't prevent Boozer, who became Yao Ming's most difficult opponent.
2007-2008. Unable to play due to injury.
In the end, the Rockets lost to Jazz 2-4.
