Rockets undefeated when Yao scores at least 25 pts

John232 · Feb 27, 2009

So I guess the key to us winning is to solve the fronting defense on Yao. We still haven't figured that one out completely.

Yao has scored 25 pts or more 13 times this season. The Rockets are 13-0 in those games.

This tells me give Yao more shots and the Rockets will win more games.

I have been saying this for years but nobody pays any attention to me!

Yes, Adelman knows how to use his players if the players are listening to him. Right now Adelman seems to be happy, you can see this from his face.

Adelman represents a drastic improvement over JVG in my mind in the respect that this statistic reveals. Sure, Yao's turnover rate (normalized per usage rate) is his highest in his career, but so is his FG%. That basically means that, even though Yao is shooting fewer FG's per game than he has in the past, most of his looks are good ones, and the team is finding more creative ways to get him the ball where he has a good position to score it.

Also, his minutes per game are way down relative to previous years, so factor that in when you are asking yourself why Yao's scoring is down so much this year. In the end, it all comes back to winning, so let's hope it keeps going and that Yao stays healthy to see this team through to its natural finish (hopefully in the WCF and beyond).

My guess is that when Yao scores 25+, teams are not fronting. When teams front, it not only takes Yao out of the game, but the entire offense looks like a bunch of headless chickens, they start panicking, shock clock runs down and they force up a shot.

Sometimes I wonder if the opposing coaches pull a rope a dope, let Yao get his in the first 3 quarters , then start fronting and Rockets collapse.

Actually in some of those games they were fronting Yao most of the game yet Yao still busted them. The 2 GS for example.

Yao averged 25pts in 06-07 season in a total of 48 games before he went down, who can dig out the w/l ratio of the games he scored 25+ that season?

You'd be counting 30+points per game for THATseason
