Houston Rockets 22-game winning streak

The Houston Rockets have done something that no other team has done since 1971. With that said the Rockets won 22 games straight before losing to the number one team in the NBA, the Boston Celtics. The streak started on January 1 and lasted to about March 18 of this year. Throughout their battle to be the number one team in the Western Conference they lost a very big star on the team, Yao Ming. Mainly, the success story for the Rockets come from not just one man but a whole team that comes together and becomes one. When they did have Yao Ming they had an 11 game winning streak. Without Yao they had an 11 game winning streak as well. All throughout the NBA people would say the Rockets would not be able to make it without Yao Ming, but they did. Superstar Tracy Mcgrady said, "You just can't rely on one guy. There are going to be some nights where I'm going to be off. We have multiple guys who can pick up the slack. That's a good thing to have." A lot of players step up the plate and delivered promising performances. Rafer Alston, the point guard of the Rockets posted up 8 for 11 from the 3 point line in the game against the LA Lakers. Louis Scola has been doing well as the rookie and might be elected as rookie of the year. He has played outstanding basketball without Yao Ming who helped and guided him. "Shane Battier has shot 39 percent from 3-point range and embraced the role of defensive stopper, handling the opponents' most dynamic score. He harassed Kobe Bryant into an 11-for-33 performance on Sunday." The head coach of the Houston Rockets Rick Adelman is a great coach. He is amazing at making offensive strategy that works out for the whole team. Everyone on the Rockets team will score and the starting five will be in double digits. The Rockets already have some of the greatest defensive plays and used them to their benefit. If you would like to learn more about this you can go to this link: Houston Rockets.

This kind of news release is more of an appeal to audience who are true fans. Everyone thought the Rockets were not going to make it without their star Yao Ming. Well, they did. Also, everyone thought the Rockets had some teams that did not have a full roster. I believe they proved almost everyone that this team is coming and they are going to do anything possible to win a championship.

I feel like this release was will developed because it gives the correct information when talking about this kind of sport. I think it is effective because it had a lot of good points in it. The article talked about role players and team work. That is what true fans want to hear about how well their team is doing. I would not change a thing about the new release because I feel like they touched based on the important facts. Overall, it was a very good article.
