So now, where can the Rockets' 22-game winning streak rank in NBA history?
The Rockets' 22-game winning streak is second only to the Lakers' 33-game winning streak, the Heat's 27-game winning streak and the Warriors' 24-game winning streak, ranking fourth in history. At that time, the main players of that rocket team were: Yao Ming, McGrady, Alston, Scola and Battier.
How did these main players perform at that time?
1, Yao Ming
During the 22-game winning streak, Yao Ming only participated in the previous 12 games due to injury, averaging 2 1.5 points,1.65,438+0 rebounds and 1.2 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 50.7%, showing a strong sense of both offensive and defensive ends. In this winning streak, Yao Ming scored 30+8 in five games, namely 30 points and 8 rebounds, 36 points 1 1 rebounds, 30 points 16 rebounds, 30 points 17 rebounds and 36 points 19 rebounds.
2. mcgrady
As the leader and attacker of the team, McGrady has always been the first choice for the team's offense. During the 22-game winning streak, McGrady played 2 1 game, averaging 22. 1 minute, 5.3 rebounds and 6.2 assists, shooting 4 1.9% from the field and shooting 29.2% from three points. Unfortunately, this season's McGrady was plagued by injuries, which greatly affected his career. The following season, McGrady's state got worse year by year, and this season became a watershed in McGrady's career.
3. Alstom
Alston is known as the "King of Streetball" and is the starting point guard of the team. During this 22-game winning streak, he averaged 13. 1 point, 3.5 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game. Especially against the Lakers, Alston hit eight 3-pointers and scored 3 1 point, leading the Rockets to beat the Lakers, while Kobe only scored 24 points in that game.
4. Scola
The 2007-2008 season is Scola's first season in NBA. Scola has played 82 games diligently this season, averaging 10.3 points, 6.4 rebounds10.3 assists. Scola is an inside player of the Rockets except Yao Ming, and his moving steps are excellent. During the 22-game winning streak, Scola averaged 10.3 points and 6.4 rebounds per game.
5. Crazy
Battier was nicknamed "President". A team can not only attack, but also defend. Battier is the defensive gate of the Rockets, and it is the best condemnation for him to enter the best defensive lineup twice in his career.
During the 22-game winning streak, Battier averaged 9.3 points 5. 1 rebound. Although his score is not very high, he is an indispensable member of the team. His good three-pointers and chilling cover defense are the basis of his foothold in the NBA, and he is a player that every coach likes.
It is worth mentioning that Battier 20 1 1 joined the Heat and fought side by side with the Big Three. After that, the Heat experienced a 27-game winning streak. Since then, Battier has become the player who has played for two teams in NBA history and won 20 consecutive games.
In addition to the main players, Brooks, Mu Dashu, Landry, Hayes, Novak and other role players also contributed to the team's winning streak. Among them, Novak defeated the King in the eighth game of the Rockets' winning streak, which allowed the team's winning streak to continue.
Some fans may be curious. Which team ended the Rockets' 22-game winning streak?
This team is the Celtics. In the 2007-08 season, the Green Army formed the Big Three, with strong strength, with 66 wins 16 losses in the regular season. The Rockets are 55 wins and 27 losses, ranking fourth in the West.
On March 19, 2008, the Green Army beat the Rockets 94-74, making the Rockets' winning streak stop at 22 games, and the Green Army bench was full of joy. Although it ended the record of the Rockets' 22-game winning streak, it did not affect the Rockets' huge size and position in the hearts of fans.
The follow-up influence of the Rockets' 22-game winning streak
On March 16, 2008, the Rockets won the longest 22-game winning streak in team history. Compared with the 33-game winning streak of Lakers 1973, the 27-game winning streak of Heat's 20 13 and the 24-game winning streak of Warriors' 20 16, that rocket is not a super giant in history, and it relies more on the overall strength of the team to play. They played extremely hard and tenacious.
Since then, every year on this day, rocket fans will spontaneously produce various videos and articles to commemorate the rocket's 22-game winning streak. Although many years have passed, I still think about this wave of winning streak repeatedly. The secret of fire is always hard to hide my impulsive heart. Appreciate your exclusive red country in those years!
