Rocket Plans

When the season began, the Rockets have been one of the favorites to win more games than they lose. People predicted that the Rockets would only be on the back of some players in the lineup. And they had every reason in the world to believe. After all, with a composition of Tracy McGrady, Ron Artest and Yao Miang, you certainly can expect an average of at least 30 among these three, if not more. But quite the opposite happened, as the season took place!

McGrady has his share of misfortunes in the few games he has played. Finally, he limped off with a knee injury. Artest would simply not show his prowess complete because of a sprained knee. The last of the trio, Yao has tried his best and eagerly pushed his average 19 points. But try as hard as him, there were few games you can remember when Yao dominated the game as it was supposed to be celebrated or.

Despite the three losses, the Rockets still have won as ever. This must surely be a lesson to all kinds to other teams about what should be done when your runners are on the bench disease. Rockets changed their plan of attack. Rather than have two or three guys in motion at the outset, they had a strong offensive line of defense. The idea was to keep the ball moving. Yao has played in most games, but in light of the new plan, he received the best key.

The end result is that, in a game Rockets, the Rockets could see so attacked and fell back on their defense. It seemed like a wave to the spectators. On the scoresheet, six players to cross the bar in terms of double-digit points. In fact, he had not been for Shane Battier, Carl Landry, the Rockets would have had eight players in their line-up scoring in double figures. Clearly, this is a team that symbolizes balance.

The role of Yao in such a game plan is quite as effective. The management team measured the effectiveness of Yao on the number of shots he takes and creates. This allows Yao to complete the rhythm of his team. With the pace of his team is not compromised, Yao got into the mix like a fish in water. Indeed Yao was effective, and although his point line does not indicate how he played, he managed to create quite a few scoring opportunities for others.

Moral of the story is - When your stars are down and out, better think of a new game plan. Perhaps, you might have some stars in the making. Even if they are not, who cares as long as you keep winning games.
