On the first day of March, before the start of training, Qiao Hai did not stay directly in his general manager's office as usual, but appeared on the sidelines of the training ground unusually.

He was still wearing a training uniform and all the players smelled something unusual.

"Alright, guys, before today's training, I want to announce two things."

Qiao Hai dug out a large stack of training plans from his briefcase, and then continued: "There are 2 months left in the regular season, and our regular training needs to make some changes......

The change means that the Rockets are preparing for the playoffs, and the change in the training plan means that the Rockets have to practice a few more routines and prepare to use them in the playoffs.

"This is your new training plan, the old training plan can be thrown away, now, all you have to do is to carry out your training according to the new training plan, this new training plan, all of you have changed your focus a little."

"So, before you start practicing, see it for yourself."

Individual training has changed dramatically, and the team's tactical training Qiao Hai has also changed.

On the offensive end, the Princeton offensive routine has been added, and in the case of Yao Ming's rapid growth, Qiao Hai is going to increase the proportion of the Rockets' Princeton offense.

The practice task on the defensive end is the heaviest, and the worst thing for the Rockets now is defense, so to speak, all the time, Qiao Hai has been helping the team improve the offense, but the defense doesn't care much.

Now, Qiao Hai has prepared several sets of joint defense tactics, ready to spend the last two months kneading into a shape, and then after the playoffs begin, he will suddenly increase his intensity and give the opponent a sudden blow!

……

In addition to training, Qiao Hai also posted a schedule in the locker room and announced a new goal.

After the February tie, the Rockets finished with a 34-24 record, two wins ahead of the Jazz and remaining seventh in the West.

Ranked sixth in the West is the Timberwolves, with a record of 38 wins and 20 losses, directly four more wins than the Rockets, for the Rockets, their goal in the new stage should be to chase the Timberwolves and find a way to rush to sixth in the West.

But a glance at the difference in win, the gap is not small, and the chances are not big.

But Qiao Hai still set a goal for the team, to catch up with the sixth place in the West!

The reason is that he has a new reliance, Yao Ming's total rating has risen very quickly, and now it has reached 88 points, and after Qiao Hai became the owner, Yao Ming's training focus has also become shooting and foot training.

Now Yao Ming still has problems in defense, but the offensive end is almost unsolvable, the mid-to-long-distance shooting has been very stable, with a certain number of singles skills, Yao Ming can already act as a spear in the front court of the rocket to pierce the opponent's shield!

……

……

After practice on March 1, the Rockets faced the Spurs at home on March 2.

In the first game of executing the goal, the rocket faced a very strong opponent, but Qiao Hai still shouted that he wanted to win!

In this game, Qiao Hai's pre-game arrangement is also different.

The team's main attacker was forcibly replaced by Qiao Hai from the previous Steve Francis to Yao Ming, and Qiao Hai felt that Yao Ming could now afford to be the team's main attacker.

After the game started, Yao Ming did play a very good individual offense, in the first quarter, he scored consecutive points on the offensive end, and scored 14 points in the first quarter of the game.

But from the second quarter, the Spurs' defense expanded and consciously locked Yao Ming's point.

At the end of the fourth quarter, Yao Ming scored 24 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block on 8-of-14 shooting, and Steve Francis scored 21 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists on 7-of-15 shooting.

The Twins played well, but the Rockets still lost the game.

On the Spurs' side, Duncan scored 22 points, Tony Parker scored 21 points, and Manuginobili also scored 20 points off the bench, and the Spurs finally defeated the Rockets 107-98 to win the game.

……

March got off to a dark start, and the Rockets' winning streak was ended.

After two days of rest at home, the Rockets went to Detroit, where they lost 83-96 and lost in a row.

Yao Ming scored 20 points on 6-of-10 shooting, and as the main point of attack, his performance was very good, but it was clear that the Rockets' ability to pass the ball inside was poor, and Yao Ming didn't get much of the ball.

On March 5, the Rockets played back-to-back games against the Raptors, and the game was finally won.

Because Qiao Hai has been emphasizing passing the ball inside and giving the ball to Yao Ming, Yao Ming finally got the most balls on the team, making 21 shots in the game, hitting 13 balls, scoring 31 points, and 12 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block.

Steve Francis scored 19 points and Ron Artest scored 14 as the Rockets won 107-95.

The Raptors suffered their 39th loss of the season, and they are almost certain to miss the playoffs, and everyone is saying that Vince Carter is not far from leaving the Raptors!

……

On March 8, the Rockets returned to their home court against the New Jersey Nets.

The Nets, who have Jason Kidd, Richard Jefferson and Kenyon Martin, are now one of the strongest teams in the East, reaching the Finals last season, although they lost 4-0 to the Lakers.

But obviously, the strength of this Nets team is still not comparable to the young Rockets, so in this game, the Rockets fell into the bottom at the beginning.

Jason Kidd was in control of the pace of the game, and the Nets took the lead from the opening point until the second half of the third quarter.

The Nets did a good job defensively, but at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Qiao Hai once again emphasized giving the ball to Yao Ming, and Yao Ming exploded like this.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, he hit three mid-range shots, as well as a pick-and-roll and then dismantled, caught the ball and hit the basket, scoring a ball that caused Jason Collins to foul.

scored 9 points in a row, and the Rockets overtook the score in a wave.

Then with a 10-point lead 2 minutes before the break, the Rockets sealed the win of the game.

In the end, the Rockets defeated the Nets 103-91 to win two in a row.

In this game, Yao Ming shot 14 of 23, and then cut 30+, and the data at the end of the game was 32 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 blocks, completely crushing the Nets' interior line.

From this point of view, Yao Ming can be regarded as a bit of Shaquille O'Neal, and against the Eastern interior line except Ben Wallace, he can also break out and score the team's highest score.

For the Rockets, after Yao Ming became the team's main point of attack, the team won a 2-2 record, and in the last two games, Yao Ming cut 30+ in a row, and the Rockets won two in a row.

It seems that everything is going on the bright side.

Yao Ming's statistics also began to skyrocket in the final stage of the season, but for Yao Ming himself, there is no suspense about this season's best rookie.

The average score per game has exceeded 17 points, the average number of rebounds per game has approached 10, and there are more than 2 assists and about 2 blocks per game.

And, in the last month or so of the game, Yao Ming has the opportunity to increase his average points per game to 18 points or even higher.

If Yao Ming's average data per game at the end of the season is 18+10+2+2, then Yao Ming can be regarded as completing a perverted rookie season, and his future is obviously extremely bright!
