Yao's body is not built for basketball

It makes no sense to give a player a max contract extension when they have a history of chronic health problems.

 

His body and soul were built for basketball.

 

All of Yao's stress fractures have came since Adelman was the coach. Freak accidents came when JVG coach.

It really honestly just shows you that Yao gets injuries from Adelman from over-working and the injuries from JVG are just unfortunate avoidable injuries.

 

i don't know that overuse stuff for sure. we don't know enough to say that with a reasonable amount of certainty, do we?

but everything has its own implications. now i think about it, i had a real bad feeling about our playoff run when deke went down...

sometimes it's just luck, good ones or bad.

 

Injury prone or not, Yao's 1 in a billion. Players like him don't come often. If Rockets don't sign him, there will be plenty taker.

 

Losing your short term memory?

 

having difficulty with your sarcasm detector?

 

Lets get Nash and Shaq over to Houston... Shaq can be the backup for Yao.

阿帅过度使用巨人导致受伤 姚明恐成沃顿大Z第二
时间：2009-05-10 11:32 来源：NBA官网 作者：SF3
北京时间5月10日，休斯敦火箭官方宣布姚明因为左脚细微骨折将会缺阵火箭与湖人剩余的季后赛，姚明再一次提前告别了球迷。
NBA历史上身高超过2米20的球员都受到过伤病的困扰，比如早年的比尔-沃顿，到如今的伊尔戈斯卡斯，他们都需要承受比别人大的压力，高中锋下肢的伤病要远比上肢的多。回顾姚明七年职业生涯，他受过10次比较严重的伤病，都是在膝伤或脚趾之类处，如果火箭不能很好的控制姚明上场时间，可能不断的伤病还会困扰他剩余的职业生涯。
姚明之所以伤病不断与球队对他的使用有关系，从他的身高到体重来说，上场时间如果超过30分钟就会出现问题，打30分钟可以发挥他最大的能量，但是姚明职业生涯除了新秀赛季以外都在30分钟以上，07-08赛季曾经达到了37分钟，导致姚明后半个赛季几乎没有打，当时受伤的原因就是过渡疲劳。当今联盟最缺少的就是中锋，姚明作为非常有统治力的球员，无论范甘迪还是阿德尔曼对于他的使用都有些过度。过去几年的伤病令姚明本赛季学到了经验，本赛季他只缺席了5场比赛，他场均上33分钟36秒是近四个赛季以来的新低。
常规赛阿德尔曼很好的控制了姚明的上场时间，再加上姚明学会了保护自己，因此本赛季他基本可以打一个完整的赛季了。但是季后赛非常的激烈，阿德尔曼无法再像常规赛那样让姚明得到足够的休息时间，姚明在季后赛中场均上场时间达到了35分47秒，9场比赛中除了与开拓者首场赢得轻松只打24分钟和与湖人第二场受到犯规影响只打26分钟以外，姚明在其余比赛中上场时间均超过35分钟，甚至有三场比赛超过40分钟，这对于姚明的身体是一个非常大的摧残，姚明在与湖人第二节左脚受伤除了对抗以外，他的身体疲劳导致动作变形也有很大的关系。
麦迪本赛季早早报销，姚明确实应该起到头号核心的作用，但这不一定是上场时间要猛增，关键时刻可以多用姚明，要想用好姚明一定要给他合理的上场时间，让他得到充分的休息。如今阿德尔曼使用姚明经常是第一节打满，第二开场有时候还留在场上，打两三分钟再把他换下让阿泰等人再回来。第三节一般都是打10分钟左右下去，然后打满第四节，这使得姚明体能严重透支，通常决定胜就是在第四节后半段，这时候姚明体能跟不上起不到核心的作用，这也是火箭本赛季多次输球的败笔。
要想控制姚明的伤病，火箭和阿德尔曼必须要控制好他的上场时间，如果再这样继续使用下去，姚明可难会变成第二个沃顿或前几年的伊尔戈斯卡斯。

 

Being 7'6" tall would not be a blessing if it wasn't for basketball.

 

I don't agree. Sure, every team wants to have big guys, especialy 7-6 star who can do it all for your team.

The problem is big guys usually have problems with those legs. And it probably doesn't matter if it is basketball or something else. Their legs just handle that big bodies. That's all.

 

Agree. The comment was more about sometimes a player himself judged on his talent can be overrated as a franchise player, it wasnt about the number of minutes. Cuz Shane Battier plays heavy minutes and he ISNT a franchise player.

I'm saying KNOWING that Yao doesnt have a durable enough body, why make a 28 mins/game player the franchise player in the first place? Yeah Yao coulda been the next Shaq if he tried hard enough, but with what he IS physically he needed to tone down be the next Ilgauskas. Why over extend ANY player who cant handle extra weight of expectation?

Developing a lineup/adjusted offensive plan for Yao Ming, same thing. The key is his minutes should be LIMITED whether he's playing how he always plays them or softer & more finesse.

 

You gotta love FML at the end.

I remember when Jet picked us to win a championship at the start of the season and Charles Barkley said no way - there is now way all three players are going to stay healthy.

I thought it was just bad luck back then, injuries and all the stuff but this just sucks.

At least we have great players around TMac and Yao, otherwise this wouldn't be a playoff team.

 

Mimciking Zydrunas Ilgauskas' career is the only way Yao is going to prolong his playing years. His bones aren't going to be able to handle the constant banging in the post that he endures every night.

 

This is translated by Google, I just corrceted some of the mistakes:
Beijing time May 10, Houston Rockets Yao Ming as the Crown announced that minor fractures of his left foot rocket will be missed the rest of the playoffs with the Lakers, he once again said goodbye to the fans in advance.

NBA history, more than two meters height of 20 players have been troubled by injury, such as the early years of the Bill - Wharton, to today's Zydrunas Ilgauskas, they need to bear the pressure than others, high-center of the lower extremities injuries to more than the upper limbs. Seven-year career, he recalled, he received ten times more serious injuries, knee, or toes are like the Department, if the Rockets Yao Ming can not play very good control of time, the injury will likely keep the remainder of his troubled career.

Yao injury with the team because of his use of the relationship, from his height to weight, the playing time will be more than 30 minutes if there are problems, playing 30 minutes to play his greatest energy, but Yao Ming career. In addition to outside rookie season in more than 30 minutes ,07-08 season has reached 37 minutes, resulting in half a season after he almost did not fight, then reason is that the transition of injured fatigue. Most of today's Union is the lack of center, Yao Ming as a very powerful player rule, whether or Van Adelman for his excessive use of some. Injuries over the past few years so that he learned the experience of the season, this season he missed only 5 games, he averaged 33 minutes and 36 seconds on the last four season, the lowest since.

Adelman well controlled of the Yao's playing time in the regular season , along with Yao Ming has learned to protect themselves, so this season he can play a fundamental integrity of the season. However, the playoffs are very intense, Adelman can not be like the regular season so he did get enough time to rest, and Yao Ming in the post-season play midfield all the time reached 35 minutes and 47 seconds, 9 games with the Trail Blazers in addition to easily won the first 24 minutes and only with the Lakers second foul by the impact of only 26 minutes away from Yao Ming to play in the remaining game time in more than 35 minutes, or even three games more than 40 minutes, which is a body Yao great violence, Yao Ming in Section II with the Lakers against the outside of his left foot injury in addition to, his actions lead to deformation of fatigue is also a great relationship.

McGrady out early this season, so Yao really should play a leading role, but not necessarily to increase playing time, critical time can be more Yao Ming, Yao Ming to make good use of a certain game to give him reasonable time to get adequate rest. Adelman has Yao Ming is often used in 1st qtr play, the second opening in some cases remain in the field, playing 23 minutes and then he changed to allow Artest to come back and others. 3rd qtrs are generally about 10 minutes playing it, and then play the fourth quarter, which makes physical Yao serious overdraft, usually a decision win in the second half of the fourth quarter, Yao Ming physically can not keep up this time will not achieve the role of the core , which is many times this season, lost a rocket failure.

Control of the injuries to Yao Ming, Rockets, and Adelman have to control the play of his time, continue to be used if it continues, Yao Ming will be difficult to become a second or a few years ago of the Zydrunas Ilgauskas

 

You're saying put him into field and track events???

 

You're saying put'em into track and field events?

 

yao doesn't have as big of an upper body

 

The yr round stuff can't help in addition he runs wrong. The first time my wife seen him, she said he would have foot problems. He runs on his heels which put pressure on the upper foot. This is what a collegiate sprinter told me.

 

But his body IS built for the NFL. Use him in goal line packages for fades and FG block.
