Can Yao Ming beat Howard at his peak?

The first thing to say is that Howard was really strong back then, and in the five years from 2008 to 2012, he was selected to the All-League Team 5 times, the All-Defensive Team 4 times, and also won the All-Defensive Player 3 times, and the block king twice. At that time, Howard was an existence that could be replaced by James. But even "Superman" has a nemesis, and Howard's nemesis back then was Yao Ming.

Let's take a look at the statistics when the two played each other, in terms of record, Yao Ming is 7-2, which means that when Howard met Yao Ming, he only won two games in total and lost 7 times. Let's take a look at the data of the two people, in these 9 games, Yao Ming averaged points, rebounds, assists, and blocks per game, and shot percentage. Howard, on the other hand, is a rebound, assist, and block.

In contrast, Yao Ming's advantage is very obvious, and it can even be said that he broke Howard.

So what caused Howard to be deflated every time he met Yao Ming? The main reason is because of the difference in height and weight between the two people, Yao Ming is about 15 centimeters taller than Howard, and his weight is about 20 kilograms. This leaves Howard with little to no advantage when playing hard under the basket, losing the offensive means he relies on to survive, and with the lack of mid-range hooks and shooting, Howard's shooting percentage drops are inevitable.

On the other hand, Yao Ming, with his all-round skills and height and weight advantages, it is relatively easy to beat Howard.

In fact, Yao Ming at his peak, if he stays healthy, he will not fall behind O'Neal, let alone Howard. Therefore, it is completely understandable that Yao Ming can beat the demonic beasts at his peak.

Yao Ming is not the only one who can abuse Howard, in fact, Howard only has excellent running and jumping ability and movement speed.

Let's talk about Yao Ming, the reason why Yao Ming can kill all sides in the NBA is because there are two major killing weapons, 1Solid lower handicap power, no blowing or black, Yao Ming's lower handicap strength beats 99% of the players, and Ao Fat's lower handicap is not necessarily stronger than Yao Ming. You can compare Yao Ming's and Howard's legs.

2.With a soft touch, Yao Ming's shooting rate is very high, and the distance of one meter within the three-point line is basically in effective range. If memory serves, Yao Ming's free-throw shooting percentage should be in the top five among NBA centers, with a career average of 83%, which should be the highest shooting percentage in the league at the time.

First, Yao Ming had abundant offensive means and solid low-post technology, and at that time, in order to increase the lethality of the low-position, Yao Ming gained dozens of pounds, and the lower plate was scary. And Howard is just the opposite, the upper limbs are very strong, the lower limbs are average, and Yao Ming is 15 centimeters taller than him, he has no projection ability, and he can't squeeze Yao Ming under the basket, and Yao beats him too easily. Yao Ming was a big killer in the alliance at that time, just look at the game at that time, Yao Ming's biggest enemy at that time was that his physical strength couldn't keep up, and basically no one could beat him one-on-one.

Many of the Rocket's games collapsed in the 4th quarter, and most of Yao Ming's data were in the first 3 quarters, but Yao Ming also had a big disadvantage at his peak, too easy to be targeted, because Yao Ming's weight was too large and his physical strength could not keep up, as long as other teams accelerated the pace, Yao Ming would be very uncomfortable, and Yao Ming was afraid of the kind of center with three-point ability, and blocking and dismantling. Because Yao Ming is the strongest threat only under the basket, the center with three-point ability to defend has to defend outside the three-point line, the Jazz at that time had both, the Jazz at that time was the Rocket nemesis, and the Rockets at that time did not find a good substitute for Yao Ming in order to save money. Eliminated by the Jazz several times in the playoffs.

The main reason is that the Magic did not adopt the tactics of going around the front and wrapping at that time, and let Howard and Yao Ming one-on-one, and it was Howard's self-confidence that fulfilled Yao Ming.

At that time, the league's tactics against Yao Ming were nothing more than to increase the speed of offensive and defensive conversion, and teams like the Warriors and the Suns made Yao Ming a headache. There is also a better way to go around the front and the bag clamp, as well as the high blocking, like Jazz.

At that time, there was no one in the league who could single Yao Ming one-on-one after O'Neal retired, and if Yao Ming turned to face the basket under the basket, the only thing that could limit him was a foul.

The low-post skills of the traditional center, Yao Ming are not bad, but Howard's low-post skills are not at all, playing all depends on the explosiveness of the body, facing Yao Ming, who is comparable to himself, he can't eat Yao Ming physically, and when he is stuck in the basket, he can't stand Yao Ming, and Yao Ming's mid-range shooting and footwork skills under the basket are better than Howard. There is no advantage at all in the face of technical centers, which is why Howard's status is getting worse and worse as he gets older.

Howard scored on the inside, facing Yao Ming's height and strength suppressed.

Yao Ming can hang, Chamberlain, Russell, Abdul-Jabbar, Olajuwon, O'Neal, what is it to hang Howard.

Whether it's Da Yao, or Ao Fat at the end of his career, or even against Perkins, Howard's stats are not very good. The opponent can resist with his back, but his shooting and technique are not good. Grabbing rebounds is not based on jumping power, but on card position.

The landlord may not have played ball. If the difference between offense and defense, height and weight in the three-second zone is too large, then the weak side should not play. Except for O'Neal, no one can play one-on-one with Yao Ming in the three-second zone.

Everyone beat Yao Ming and ran outside, and Yao Ming relied on the bag to prevent Yao Ming. Only Howard is so iron-headed.

Why does Yao Chui feel that beating Howard is better than entering the Hall of Fame and has face.

Taller than him, heavier than him, good status and technique, and accurate baskets. Howard doesn't go around again. He also doesn't have excellent offensive ability to consume Yao Ming, so if he doesn't get blown up, what are you waiting for.

1: Lower limb strength crushing. 2: Shooting skills crushing.

It's too much to hang and beat, and the Warcraft single-core has entered the finals, and you say that the mutual explosion is reliable.

May I ask which of the center of the Hall of Fame can't beat the peak Howard?

Because you're, I don't think I can beat the monster, so I can only open it in five or five.

Howard was never the team's thigh. Yao Ming is at least a thigh-level player. Howard, the standard blue-collar player.

Who was the easiest Yao Ming to fight at that time? O Jr., Howard, Dampier. Most annoying Boozer.

Because the body has an advantage and the technique is not bad, there is such a result.

Simply put, there are counterweights!

The inside line can't bear it, and there is no mid-to-long-range shot, so it's strange that it won't be blown up.

Because Howard didn't shoot and hook up.

The jump is not as high as the long one.

Can peak Yao Ming beat Howard? After reading the record of 9 fights in his career, the gap is clear at a glance.

At his peak, Howard was undoubtedly the league's most dominant interior player, and his athleticism made him an inexplicable presence on both offensive and defensive ends, and he was selected as the best team and defense player many times, and won the rebounding king, block king, and best defensive player awards. In the eyes of many fans, Howard at that time was the only player who could replace the peak James alone, and his strength can be imagined.

And when it comes to Howard's lifelong enemy, I believe most people will think of Yao Ming. Although Howard was the league's No. 1 center at that time, he couldn't bargain for anything in front of Yao Ming, who was 2.26 meters tall and had delicate and comprehensive skills. There are even many fans who joke that Yao Ming's daily life is "eating, sleeping, and fighting Warcraft".

So let's review the several encounters between Howard and Yao Ming to see if it is really as we remember.

Yao Ming and Howard have played each other a total of nine times, and all of them have happened in the regular season. In these 9 games, Yao Ming can average points, rebounds, assists, and blocks per game, and his shooting rate is as high. Howard, on the other hand, scored points, rebounds, assists, and blocks and shot percentages.

In contrast, Yao Ming's stats completely suppressed Howard, and even the latter's proud rebounds and blocks were lower than Yao Ming's.

In terms of record, Yao Ming also crushed Howard, and his Rockets won 7 games, while Howard's Magic team only won 2 games. To sum up, Yao Ming has the upper hand in the game against Howard, both in terms of individual performance and team record, which is not difficult to understand why fans always say "eat and sleep and fight Warcraft".

In fact, although Howard has super-first-class athleticism and confrontation strength, what he is most afraid of is Yao Ming's large tonnage and an interior line with a hand. The most important thing is that Yao Ming is 18 centimeters taller than Howard, which is almost a scene of 1.8 meters tall versus 1.6 meters tall. In the face of such a natural advantage, Howard's defense is like a void for Yao Ming, and this is why he has repeatedly stood at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends and was suppressed by Yao Ming.

Because of Yao Ming at that time, his physical fitness was very good, he had a unique advantage, and he had a very strong sense of defense, superb dunking skills, strong bounce skills, and relatively flexible legs and feet.

Because the upper limbs of the Warcraft are strong, the bounce is very strong, the technique is rough, and the strength of the defense is greater than the attack on the lower limbs is relatively insufficient in the No. 5 stomach of his rank, his strong points cannot be played against Yao Ming, and his weaknesses are targeted by Yao Ming, and Yao Ming was at his peak at that time.

The reason why Yao Ming was very powerful at that time was because he had an excellent talent, and he trained hard all the time, he had certain skills and some skills that he was good at, and it was Yao Ming's career peak at that time.

This is because Yao Ming's physical fitness was very good at that time, his limbs were very developed, his reaction speed on the court was very fast, he was particularly flexible, and he was very talented in basketball, so he was very powerful at that time.

Yao Ming's height is relatively tall, and his explosiveness is relatively strong, so his defensive ability and offensive ability are relatively powerful.
