Comments on: Yao leads loaded Rockets in preseason win over Mavs http://www.yaomingmania.com/blog/2007/10/18/yao-leads-loaded-rockets-in-scoring-in-preseason-win-over-mavs Where fans of Yao Ming and the Houston Rockets can find out the latest on Yao Thu, 21 Aug 2008 21:28:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.2 By: Zoe http://www.yaomingmania.com/blog/2007/10/18/yao-leads-loaded-rockets-in-scoring-in-preseason-win-over-mavs#comment-3655 Zoe Sat, 20 Oct 2007 00:58:43 +0000 http://www.yaomingmania.com/blog/2007/10/18/yao-leads-loaded-rockets-in-scoring-in-preseason-win-over-mavs#comment-3655 Dear John: I really like your analysis and prediction, you have always been right in the past. Although it was not a real game, the statistics tells a lot about how much improvement the Rockets and Yao have made in in short period under the new coach/system. Almost eerything has pointed to a break season for Rockets and for Yao: Yao has shown that he has fewer TO and PF (0 in the recent game) and have higher FG%, AP, SPG and BPG. He feels great - by his own words, he "confident", "Confortable", "simple", "simple". "easy". He has higher energy level, as he does not need to spend 100% time in those very predictable physical plays in the paint, thus he can save his energy for more minutes, running faster, more block, more steal and more acurate shooting. And more fun. I can almost certain, because of above, he may be able to play 82 games again this season without any major injujry - as fatigue is one of the most factors to trigger the injury. When you have a happier Yao who feels the game is easy, simple and fun, who can play longer and run faster, who feels more confident and comfortable, and who can play 82 games for more minutes per game without injury, you can only see MVP in Yao who will lead the Rockets to break their threathold to a newer and higher ground ....
