Now it is impossible for the Rockets to win the championship by who joins them, because the tactics of the Rockets have already taken shape and are centered on Yao Mai. If we want to separate Yao Mai, I think the departure of McGrady may help the Rockets get rid of their salary and re-establish their play style, because McGrady's offensive initiative is still stronger than Yao Ming's, and he needs to have the ball in his hand and finish the attack by dominating it, while Yao Ming doesn't need to hold the ball more in the attack, as long as his teammates can get the ball in place. His choice is generally to end the opponent's attack, so it is only a tactical scoring point, and it does not play a role in tandem or dominate the ball. He has little influence on the formation of tactics! If the team's core or tactical play is re-established, the one that has a great influence will definitely be eliminated. Here, we won't talk about suitability or ability!
Personally, I have always believed that the rocket attack lacks not the scoring point, but the engine. If there are core point guards like Paul and Deron, then other Rockets players can find scoring opportunities through their own running. Even though these players don't have strong individual scoring ability, they rely heavily on assists to support the team in scoring. On the other hand, the Rockets now rely too much on Yao Mai's personal ability and ignore running. They always wait for the opportunity to cut their hands and do not create their own opportunities, making the rocket's attack rough. Looking at the league, Nash is the only one who can count and may join the Rockets. Although old, it can be equated with defending black holes. Under the system of rapid attack and defense conversion, organizational ability can be fully exerted. But no one can deny that Nash, as the brain of the team, plays a leading role in controlling the rhythm of the game in the attack, and his personal offensive ability is also very strong. I think such a point guard is badly needed by the rockets now!
For Artest, my personal explanation is that his star flavor is too weak, so if you want to pull a star flavor, the only people who may come to the Rockets are Wade and Bosh (the team's record is too dependent on themselves, and it is more likely that there will be no improvement in the future, and the city's attention is lower than or equal to Texas), which can barely be counted as Sun Stoudemire. Whoever's record is not as good as waiting for reconstruction in the future, other big-name Texas can't attract them to join. For Stoudemire and Bosh, the main attack is dunk or CIC, so there is no conflict with Yao Ming's attack. Defensively, because both of them are excellent in mobility and don't encounter strength confrontation, they can make up for Yao Ming's slow moving speed and expand the range of defense. Choosing one is a choice of the Big Three (Nash+Stoudemire+Yao Ming or Nash+Bosh+Yao Ming), but the focus of this choice is not. The other just makes up for the dilemma that there is no projection breakthrough on the outside, so in the end, the three giants in my mind should be Nash+Wade+Yao Ming (these three are regular season MVP+ playoff MVP+ one of the best centers in the league), which should be regarded as the three giants!
