How did the Yao Mai combination come into being?
The Rockets changed 4 for 3, and the boss left. How was the Rockets’ record that season?
As we all know, the opening time of the 2019 NBA free market is getting closer and closer, and rumors of league transactions can be described as one after another.
Not to mention, a lot of news will become a precursor to official announcements.
Look at the time before, the Pelicans and the Lakers once fell apart because of the gossip between the thick eyebrows, isn’t it?
In the end, for profit, the Pelicans still chose to trade him to the Lakers.
This is also the first shot of the offseason trade, so which team will become the biggest winner this summer?
Looking forward to it!
The Rockets sacrificed a lot in order to reach this deal. They traded 4 for 3 to get Tracy McGrady.
In the content of the transaction, the Rockets sent Francis, Mobley and Cato, and got McGrady, Juwan Howard, Tyronn Lue and Gaines from the Magic.
There is also Tylen Lue, which is also a bit interesting.
Of course, the most important transaction was the swap between McGrady and Fernando. It was a pity that the 27-year-old Fernando, who was at his peak, was traded. After all, he took good care of Yao Ming when he first entered the league. He was also the boss of the Rockets at that time.
Many Chinese fans like him very much.
However, Boss Fu also retired early because of many problems later, and the Yao-Mai combination became the representative of the Rockets.
So what was the Rockets’ record in the season when the deal was made?
In the 2004-2005 season, under the leadership of the Yao Mai combination, the Rockets still achieved a good record. They scored 51 wins and 31 losses in the regular season. However, they played seven games against the Mavericks in the first round of the playoffs.
-116 lost to the opponent and missed the second round.
Later, Yao Ming and McGrady led the Rockets to the playoffs many times, but they were unable to advance to a higher level. Later, due to McGrady’s various injuries, the combination also disbanded after 5 years of cooperation.
In fact, from a later point of view, it is not easy for the Yao-Mai combination to gain a foothold in the turbulent West, but it is still very easy for them to enter the playoffs, but it is very difficult to advance to the playoffs.
Short board, the role players are a little worse.
It is also a pity that the combination that was expected by the outside world did not have a championship in the end.
Everyone thinks, where is the Rockets missing at that time, can they advance in the playoffs, or even win the championship?
