Chapter 196 Youth burns out...

"McGrady uttered bold words before the game that he would tear the Houston Rockets flying into space into pieces..." New York reporter.

"Really?" Mayo gave an understatement "Oh".

"Yes...that's what the newspaper said..." Many Houston team members couldn't hide their smiles...

...

"There is no doubt that I will become an All-Star. Not now, next season. Next season I will still be an All-Star-level player, there is no doubt about it..." When Tracy McGrady, who was not selected as an All-Star for the first time since his rookie season, was asked how he thought of the upcoming old club and Mayo, who replaced him as the new All-Star, he said boldly.

Not only that, at the press conference, in addition to the rhetoric that he would tear up the Houston Rockets, he also imagined what kind of helpers the New Yorkers would find for him in the summer of 2010. He never forgot that dream—to join hands with another superstar to create a big scene.

However, the harsh reality is that in New York, he can only compete with Chris Duhon (who knows?) Playing time; and now, at "only" 31 years old, he still enjoys the league's second-highest annual salary of $2350 million; remember that trade?Before the New Yorkers touched the Rockets -- there wasn't even a thigh willing to accept him.

Even the Bulls, who were once very close to Tracy McGrady, finally refused to offer an offer. There were reports that Tracy McGrady's physical condition and moving speed were not satisfactory during the trial training.

The report in the summer of 2009 was that McGrady was sweating profusely on the training ground, "I assure you, I will perform much better than last year, and I will return to my previous state... This year is a year that will determine success or failure." "I have never seen him work so hard." Some reporters are also optimistic about his good performance, "After all, the next year is the contract year."

A year later, what we see is the familiar round face after all. This is the blessing that Jordan only saw after ten years of retirement.Of course, all weight loss experts know that it is difficult to lose weight.

In the following, we can avoid listing Maxwell's quotations as much as possible, although it is enough to re-read these quotations many times.

That's "I-Will-Be-Back..."

Back-where?
Tragedy repeated over and over again is farce, and over time you don't care what he says because it's never going to be delivered; after that, you won't even care what he does.

麦蒂在纽约的首场比赛即面对新科得分王杜兰特，17投10中得26分、4个篮板、5次助攻。罗恩对惊喜并不感冒——作为得分手，场均20+才称得上球星。

In the end, Tracy McGrady played 24 games for the Knicks... averaging 9 points per game.

I heard "I-will-be-back!" countless times, and I just muttered in my heart, "Let's talk about it after Back".

...

So...

"Don't worry about McGrady... It's best to let him play alone... Pay attention to David Lee's air cut, beware of Gallinani's three-pointer... Also, the new New Yorkers' coach is called Michael D'Antoni..." Adelman said before the game.

Anything needs to be resolved, such as the grievances between the Rockets and Tracy McGrady.

The Rockets were a guest at Madison Gardens, and Tracy McGrady met his old club for the first time since being traded.In fact, just after being traded, McGrady said that he clearly remembered the kick-off time of the Knicks' home game against the Rockets, and he hoped to get revenge.

Although all eyes were on the former idol, watching him happily shoot 2 points for every open spot, Ron also knew clearly that even with the aura of TNT live broadcast in the United States, even if there were endless outrageous gimmicks...

This is the most relaxed and least scary game for the Rockets in this five-game Eastern Conference road trip...

Although consecutive away games, physical overload, and many turnovers, the unlucky Knicks had to watch McGrady use three times the shots for one to half goals...

The Rockets made 8 turnovers in the first quarter, and the Knicks fell behind by 8 points...

what logic?

what match?
There are two reasons. The first is to look at the game from the mainstream of basketball—no matter how much David Lee is boasted by McGrady—"a powerful insider who can pick and roll better than Yao Ming", "I finally found the most reliable helper, and he can make me take off." In fact, he can only pick up baskets, and has nothing to do with McGrady...

When he couldn't even cause effective damage to the inside of the Rockets who were exhausted and had to use Brother Sharp to play after half a quarter, it can be seen how miraculous Gallinari's erratic three-pointers...

Of course, Chris Duhon did run extremely happily under D'Antoni's "point guard halo" system, but except for the former's defense being slightly better than Nash's, he couldn't even break through...

In this way, one can imagine how the Knicks' record of 14 wins and 32 losses came out...

Fans like to watch games with gimmicks or star power...

So a typical example - two players who are both hailed as Jordan's successors...

Let me talk about Mayo first.

Mayo, who has just ushered in the All-Star Tour, is understandably the first player to be taken care of by the Knicks in this game...

Larry Hughes, known as New York's No. [-] gate and once won the steals king, undoubtedly has a heavy responsibility...

Oh sorry, he's still in infinite DNP...

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Gallinari...

The Italian is working hard, but he is still a white cannon, can only shoot at fixed points, and the blocking index is 0...

It can be called a textbook-like Cross-Over (although because of the exhaustion of the body, I made a few mistakes...) The Italians started to spin like a spinning top...

Then after double-teaming, he did the work of McGrady, who was once more than 10 cm taller than him-a wonderful pass...

6投4中，8分3个篮板5次助攻…

And Maddie...

Although he is very upset about the Ariza who is wearing the No. 1 jersey that he decided to stay in Houston for retirement, but he does have two brushes for defending a swingman like him who has no weight and is as erratic as himself...

As mentioned above, 3 times the shooting rate is exchanged for 0~5 times the scoring rate, and after a few times his teammates are vacant, he suddenly strikes the iron without knowing it, and the appetite of the audience is lost...

13 of 4 shots, also 8 points, but with a height of 203, only recorded 1 rebound, not even a weird and tricky pass...

Facing the thriving Mayo, in Ron's eyes, McGrady, whose youth has been burnt out, pales in comparison...

McGrady's peak was 23 years old, joining the NBA's sixth season.After that, it went from bad to worse.

That year, he became the league's youngest scoring leader with an average of 30+ points per game, and was selected to the All-NBA First Team -- O'Neal, Duncan, Garnett and Kobe were selected at the same time as him, four rulers of the post-Jordan era. He won 5 regular season MVPs and won 12 O'Brien Cups in 11 years.

At that time, McGrady was full of ambitions. Except for the slight embarrassment of being overturned by the Pistons in the first round of the playoffs, he has been improving since entering the league. His physical strength has strengthened and his skills have become more mature.As a scorer, McGrady's ball-handling ability and passing vision are particularly admirable. His assist-to-turnover ratio easily leads other swingmen. With a height of 23, Magician and Penny can be seen vaguely.

Seeing that he will realize the best talent among Jordan's successors, Carter has begun to struggle with injuries, and Kobe is still trying to bring down the mountain of O'Neal...Adidas brought him together with Duncan and Garnett to chat about life, dreams, and brag about "you are better than me". It's my turn.

Only 23 years old, the golden age of 10 years has just begun.

Everything came to a screeching halt.

McGrady's physical talent and excellent scoring ability conquered Jordan. The words of the old flying man's praise for him are enough to be compiled into a book of quotations. He said that McGrady can decide the game like running a train, and he is the only player who can squeeze him to the bench. In 2003, Jordan gave McGrady a pair of sneakers with the words "enjoy the challenge, good luck and health".

Tracy McGrady in the Rockets period was still full of ideals. He performed the miracle of 35 seconds and 13 points, and the ecstasy of the jumper was still there. However, the injury attack made him cherish his body like a health expert.

Bramble of the "Houston Chronicle" once criticized McGrady: "Why has he failed to break through the first round of the playoffs? He is just a heroine."

In 2007, FSN TV in the United States selected the five stars who were closest to Jordan but were ultimately disappointing. McGrady was listed as follows: "His talent is comparable to Jordan, but his indifferent attitude makes him give up the game at any time. His shooting percentage is not at the same level as Jordan. He is still one of the stars with the worst fighting spirit."

A live broadcast across the United States with enough gimmicks...

And it's the last game before the All-Star Game...

Finally, D'Antoni decided to push McGrady to the bench in the fourth quarter and announced the end ahead of time...

In the end, Tracy McGrady only scored 20 points, 15 rebounds and 7 assists in just over 5 minutes of playing time. The statistics were not bad. However, he turned a bombarded team into a staring team—"T-MAC-style ugly".

Now, even the Knicks coach D'Antoni has suggested that the team should not renew Tracy McGrady this summer, which shows the wisdom of the Rockets' original deal.

After the game, in the face of interviews and doubts from various media, McGrady repeatedly emphasized that "no one stole my talent". He emphasized that he was only injured for a few years, and now he is ready to start a new business.

It's just that a 31-year-old man never forgets to talk about his "talent", which more or less means acquired paleness.

The 19-game losing streak is engraved with his name, but the 22-game winning streak also has his share.His life is full of contradictions, and that brilliance is as short and dazzling as the "35 seconds and 13 minutes" that fans never forget.

It's just that all the memories about the past can't point to a clear future.

...

Only the man in the locker room, who has always been proud but has blurred eyes, is sighing presumptuously...

"Your greetings are from a clear spring in the deep mountains. Your smile fascinates me in this life. My friends from far away let me greet you, okay!" ——Ron, from Night Interview with Knicks...

If youth burns out, the last youth touches fleeting years...
