Although Morey is 195 cm tall, he is still a big fat man, but he has never been an athlete, but a professional in budget and information collection and analysis, every transaction he makes, every player he signs is calculated by his complicated and cumbersome formulas, everyone's contribution or not, growth or not, the interests of the team are transformed into numbers and symbols that only he can understand, what he is best at, is to replace two 1s with a 2, and then replace two 2s with a 3, In a bunch of 3s, go for a 4.

Although Morey's way is too procedural, I have to admire Mo his vision, Morey's nickname "Taobao Emperor", can always find gold particles with a faint light in a vast ocean, pick them up, wipe them clean, save a bunch, and then go to exchange for other people's big gold nuggets, Morey studied under the Celtics general manager before his debut, known as the "cold-blooded military division" Danny Angie, this is a guy who dares to trade out the soul of the company Paul Pearce, so Morey's operation only pays attention to results, and rarely mixes some emotional factors, For example, his first transaction after coming to power.

The owner of this deal is Swift, who is extremely physical, and has been a hot boy with Yao Ming, in the 2004-2005 season, Swift's contract expired, and there were mainly three teams to coax him, the most active, the highest salary was the Nets, with an average salary of $8 million, followed by the parent team Grizzlies, with a salary of about $600-7 million, and the third was the Rockets, but the Rockets only had a full middle class with an average salary of $5 million, and Swift only considered the Nets and the Rockets at that time. Because of the configuration of the Grizzlies that year, the playoffs every year, the first round every year, after Pau Gasol came, he had no position, when the Rockets lacked people at the fourth position, Uncle Huo was old and unbearable, and Dawson, the general manager of the Rockets at the time, fooled Swift well, and finally the Rockets' great "blueprint for winning the championship" tempted Swift to sign only a 5-year $22 million mid-range, with an average salary of $4.4 million. As a result, as soon as Morey took office, he immediately traded Swift and Rudy Gaye, the No. 6 rookie in 2006, to the Grizzlies, the parent team that Swift was most reluctant to go to, in exchange for Sean Battier.

Regarding Swift's low ball quotient, he played a season in the Rockets, with a shooting rate of 8.9 points and 4.4 rebounds of 49.1%, and an average playing time of only 20.4 minutes per game, which translates to about 16 points and 8 rebounds in 36 minutes of playing time for the main team, and his frontcourt rebounding rate is 57.1% (the ratio of frontcourt rebounds to total rebounds), Yao Ming is 34.2%, and the "Warcraft" Howard frontcourt rebounding rate this season is 53.8%, And this season's O'Neal's data is 50.7%, and the basketball IQ is low? Now McGee and Jordan Jr. will also be complained about their low ball quotient, but as a result, one of the two of them is playing well in the Mavericks, and the other has almost locked in the best defensive player of the season.

In fact, Morey's deal was controversial at the time, Rudy Gay was a player full of honor when he was in college, his physical fitness was extremely good, he could fly and dunk, the disadvantage was that the shooting was not stable enough, the offensive efficiency was not high, and the most important thing was that the defense was not good, he didn't like to defend by nature, if the team was important to Guy, who would defend the opponent's first point of attack? Is it possible to let Maddie defend it? Besides, Guy is still young, and he will make mistakes when he is young, and the injuries that loom in Yao Ming and Maddie can't afford to wait for the time to hand in Guy's homework, so although it seemed that Guy had unlimited potential at the time, Morey traded him and Swift for Sean Battier of the Grizzlies.

Battier is nicknamed "President", always in danger on the court, high-spirited, full of self-confidence, excellent ball quotient, good passing awareness, but compared to Swift and Guy, Battier's physical condition is not outstanding, his talent is not high, and his offensive ability is limited, but he works hard and uses a lot of excellent techniques to make up for the lack of congenital physique, on the offensive end, because Battier dribbles his skills are not good, so he rarely breaks through, but he has a good ability to play alone under the basket, and his three-point ability is acceptable, Especially the two bottom corners on the left and right, so that it shoots hot, Van Gundy based on this, designed a set of Yao Ming standing pile, Maddy slipped the bottom line to attract the defense and then passed to the opposite corner of the bottom corner Battier's three-point tactics, according to Battier joked, this is his only set of tactics on the offensive end, but simple, practical, tried and tested, until Battier left, this set of tactics was retained.

Battier really attracts the Rockets is his defense, Battier has a spirit of fighting to the death, clean defense, pay attention to technique and action essentials, the original "blindfold defense" is unique, the new season, Battier 82 games full attendance, and all starts, 10.1 points per game, 4.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists, shooting 44.6% from the field, 42.1% from three-point range.

In this year's draft, Morey also used the 32nd overall pick to win Steve Novak, who is known as the NCAA's top scorer, this player is 208 cm tall, but he is weak, slow and poorly confrontational, and the defensive end is basically a step on the outside, and he flies when he hits the inside, but he has a good three-point shooting kung fu, and his tall stature makes him have an outstanding shooting vision on the outside, and once the touch comes, it is almost impossible to stop his shooting.

Morey completed the first trade on draft night, and as soon as the deal was completed, he smelled fishy again, and the young guard of the Hornets, Kirk Sneijder, refused to represent the team in the summer league because of the conflict with the management management, and the contradiction was irreconcilable for a while, and Morey encouraged Dawson to make a move immediately, and directly "bought" Sneijder with cash and a future second-round pick, and it turned out that Morey made another right choice, and Sneijder once became an indispensable player on the team's bench.

One Sneijder is not enough, and it just so happens that last season's starting forward for the Kings, Bunch Wells, who averaged 13.6 points and 7.7 rebounds per game, rejected the King's five-year $36 million contract, and made a tug-of-war gesture, then Kings general manager Petri couldn't bear it and signed Wells' replacement John Salmons with the middle class, and at this time, the vast majority of teams in the league Wells interested teams have found their favorite players, Wells is facing the dilemma of having no ball to play, and the Rockets quickly handed over a 2-year $5 million mini middle class, the second year player option, plus a flicker, successfully took Wells.

This season, the Rockets ushered in a big explosion, although Yao Ming missed 32 games in the first half of the season because of a cracked tibia, but Yao Ming, who returned to the court, played a dominant performance, averaging 25 points, 9.4 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game, shooting 51.6%! Yao Ming's outstanding performance is the best portrayal of the whole team's excellent performance this season, Maddy played in 71 games this season, averaging 24.6 points per game, Alston averaged 13.3 points per game and 5.4 assists, Luthor Hyde became a sharp knife on the bench, averaging nearly 11 points per game, and shooting 44.1% from three-point range, Alston threw in a total of 192 three-pointers throughout the season, and Hyde made 177 three-pointers, while breaking the team record. In those games when Yao Ming was suspended, veteran Mutombo started the game and performed amazingly, grabbing 6.5 rebounds in 17.2 minutes, and the team's power forward position was shared by Juwan Howard and Chuck Hayes, the former is good at shooting and averaging 9.7 points per game, and the latter is able to defend and average 6.7 rebounds per game.

Suddenly, the Rockets became a Finals-level team, super configuration and excellent play made tens of thousands of Rockets fans around the world highly anticipated, this year, the Rockets achieved 52 wins, the best record of the Rockets in ten years, ranked fifth in the West, and in the playoffs, they will compete with the Utah Jazz!

In terms of overall strength, the Rockets and Jazz were evenly matched, the Rockets won 52 wins and the fifth in the West, and the Jazz won 51 wins to win the fourth place in the division. Although Carlos Boozer is not tall, his body is also very strong, his shoulders are broad, his back skills are first-class, and he also has a stable mid-range shot. The Jazz's main center is the Turkish Memet Oku, this person doesn't know what the center footsteps, hook hands or anything, the best thing is the three-point shot, nicknamed "Turkish Heavy Artillery" will shoot three points means that the defense is soft? In fact, Oku's defense is not soft at all, and it is very tough, his defense against Yao Ming can only be described in four words, that is, "dead carrying a hard top", all the time trying his best to push Yao Ming out of the three-second zone, and he doesn't eat any feints, because he doesn't jump at all! Contributing more than two frontcourt rebounds per game is not easy for a player who plays out of style.

Other players include Matt Harprin, who was the captain of the Jazz at the time, who was a halfway monk, because he was born in a football family, so Harprin was trained according to the seedlings of playing football since he was a child, so Halprin's strength is very good. There is also Andrei Kirilenko from Russia, nicknamed AK47, who is tall and long-armed, well-rounded, and has played 5+5+5+5+5 all-around data. There's also Paul Millsap, who has been a great player in his first year as a rookie.

The Rockets are no worse than the Jazz in terms of lineup, but the Jazz have one strong point that the Rockets do not have, and that is then-Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan. He has been coaching the Jazz since 1988, and has gone through the former Utah twins of Stockton and Malone, and the new Utah twins of Deron and Boozer, whose signature blocking and dismantling tactics are just like Chinese Taijiquan, which seems simple, but in fact is extremely rich and varied, although it is a pity that he did not get a championship ring, but his greatness no longer needs to be proved by a ring.

In terms of coaching style, Sloan's team is as disciplined as the troops, the ball must be evenly distributed, the star halo is rejected, the player's ability is relatively average, several substitutes also have the strength to start, tactically advocate physical confrontation, fight a war of attrition, protracted war, it doesn't matter if the ability is insufficient, the key is to work hard, so he is often called the "Iron and Blood Division".

And Van Gundy is the star tactical loyal cluster, the whole Rockets team only revolves around the "MM" combination to play, for other players, especially the bench players are not enough, the game is especially the crucial playoffs, the Rockets tend to collapse in the fourth quarter, the main reason is that Yao Mai's physical strength in the fourth quarter can not keep up, and there are no players on the bench to top, and the team's defeat is inevitable.
