Since Yao Ming returned (from his toe surgery), he consolidated his core player status in the Houston Rockets with his outstanding performance. And coupled with TMAC's (untimely) injury, Yao Ming has become the undisputed top star of the Rockets. And more essential is that with his outstanding performance, he gained the trust of his team mates. It looks like even when TMAC returns from his injury, Yao Ming's status as the team's core player and leader is difficult to be vacillated.
Now Yao Ming is designated to shoot all free throws for the Rockets resulted from technical fouls of the opponents. This is another kind of affirmation of Yao Ming within the team. Regarding his current position in the Rockets, Yao Ming indicated: "All these were forced to happen due to our current plight. You know I am not that kind of player who like to make threatening gestures or roar out war cry on court. But to be able to communicate on court, you need to shout (to each other) or else it will be very difficult to communicate. This season was a tough one, as our players just dropped one after the other (by injuries and sicknesses) and this severely affected our on-court chemistry; and it has compelled me to have to speak louder, and to share and shoulder more responsibility. Of course I know it is appropriate that players have to shout during competition; I have started to do so, and I will continue to do so. I was designated for all technical free throws because I have the highest free throw percentage in our team."
More key to this all is that Yao Ming started to find the same kind of aggression and leadership in the Houston Rockets as in the Chinese national team. Yao Ming indicated: "When I played for the national team, I used to demand the ball from my team mates, and that was because I did not have any language barrier. Now I start to realize if I can do that in the national team, I can also do it here. Moreover, I don't see issue anymore with my English, and there is no language barrier any more. I should do whatever is to the best interest to this team. Of course this has to do with the fact that Tracy is not around. When Tracy was in the team, he handled the ball, and I just let him make the decision. Now that he is not around, my responsibility gets heavier. I must take full advantage of my height to envisage the on-court situations, judge and make right decisions. "
To be able to take full advantage of his height and court vision has always been what fans want Yao Ming to do. At his height, he should not just be one of the scoring options, but should make fuller use of his basketball intelligence to become a navigator's lighthouse on the court for his team. In recent games, Yao Ming's number of rebounds dropped, but it was nothing to do with his body conditions. When asked about the reason of the drop in number of rebounds, Yao Ming seemed somewhat embarrassed and confessed: "Well, it has alot to do with my state-of-mind and attitude." He smiled coyly, stopped for several seconds, and looked embarrassed. "I just felt that our season is going to end prematurely, and I already sense the final position of the Rockets that we are drifting further away from making the playoff. That naturally affected our enthusiasm and positiveness. But I knew if we want to win, we need to strengthen our rebounding."
And as far as physical strength is concerned, Yao Ming also felt weary. Yao Ming expressed: "I certianly felt very tired (after a long season), but there are more people much exhausted than I am. I was absent for 20 games this season, and now that I am back, I cannot be falling behind (and failing my team mates). Therefore how can I not be exhausted ?"
