Team profile &; history

Team profile:

The Rockets are a team with a tradition of high center, from early moses malone and Ralph Sampson to hakeem olajuwon, and China center Yao Ming who was selected in the first round in 2003. Rocket 1967 joined the NBA and settled in San Diego. After four dull seasons, they moved to Houston at 197 1.

Like many teams, the Rockets' first season was disappointing. 1967- 1968 season, the rockets only won 15 and lost 67. In the second season, the Rockets won the "Big E" elvin hayes from the University of Houston. The rookie season averaged 28.4 points per game, and the performance of the Rockets began to rise. 1968- 1969 season, the rockets made a record of 37 wins and 45 losses and reached the playoffs. 1970 Rocket 27 wins and 55 losses, 197 1, 40 wins and 42 losses. Starting from 197 1, the Rockets moved to Houston.

Houston people prefer to watch football, so the Rockets didn't get much welcome when they moved here. In the 1976- 1977 season, the Rockets won the legendary moses malone. At that time, the Rockets also had Tom Janovich and others, who won the 1977 Central Championship with 49 wins and 33 losses, but lost to the 76ers in the Eastern Conference finals.

1977- 1978 season, Tom janovic was seriously injured by Comite Washington and rested for five months. The strength of the Rockets was greatly damaged, with only 28 wins and 54 losses that season. 1978- 1979 season, moses malone averaged 24.8 points 17.6 rebounds and won the MVP in the regular season. The Rockets also entered the playoffs, but were eliminated in the first round. 1980- 198 1 season, under the leadership of moses malone, the Rockets entered the finals again, but in the finals, the Celtics of larry bird won 4-2.

The Rockets reached the finals for the second time eight years later. 1983 and 1984, the Rockets won two consecutive No.1 pick-ups, Ralph sampson and Achim Olajuwon, respectively, and two players over 2. 10 formed the "Twin Towers". Rockets 1985 reached the playoffs, but were eliminated by Jazz in the first round. 1986, the rockets reached the finals, but this time they met Celtic and failed.

It was not until 1994 that the Rockets won the first championship trophy. Olajuwon averaged 27.3 points 1 1.9 rebounds and 3.7 1 blocks that season. In the finals, the Rockets met the new york Knicks. Olajuwon defeated Ewing and the Rockets won the team's first championship 4-2.

1995, the Rockets got the "glider" drexler from the Trailblazers, but the defending champion struggled in the regular season, with only 47 wins and 35 losses. The playoffs are also very difficult. The first round defeated the Jazz with 60 wins, and the second round lost to the Suns with 1-3, but the Rockets won three games in a row. In the Western Conference finals, Olajuwon played david robinson, the MVP of the regular season, and the Rockets beat the San Antonio Spurs 4-2 to advance. In the finals, Olajuwon met the young O 'Neill, and the Rockets swept Orlando Magic 4-0 to win the championship again.

After four seasons, the Rockets scored well in the regular season, but they didn't go far in the playoffs. 1999 Pippen, Olajuwon and Buckley also stopped in the first round. In the 2000 season, the Rockets got old and left. 16 failed to enter the playoffs for the first time since the season.

Rocket reorganization, Olajuwon joined the Raptors in 2000 and retired in 2002165438+1October 9. In the 2003 draft, the Rockets hand-picked Yao Ming from China as the top pick, and then introduced a high center. A new era has begun.

But in the five seasons with Yao Ming, the Rockets' best record was entering the first round of the playoffs, and this season, the Rockets were turned over by the Jazz in the first round!

So after Van Gundy's class, Adelman came out again. Let's look forward to the new 2007-08 season ~ ~ ~
