Chapter 20 Transcript of McGrady
Maybe for me, it has never been a hardcore McGrady.

Maybe I, like everyone else, have loved, hated, sympathized, and moved...

One day in May 2004, a friend and I bought a T-shirt for playing basketball at a certain civil and military sports shop on the road. It was a sky blue color with a figure of a light layup printed on it, and a logo next to it. When we bought it, we just thought the color was right.Later I got to know this figure as Tracy.McGrady, the logo is the classic "T-MAC", and blue is the color of the Magic.

Yes, McGrady was still in the Orlando Magic at the time, the worst team in the league with 19 wins and 60 losses.McGrady, the league's scoring champion for three consecutive years, averaged more than 30 points per game.

One day in July 2004, I rushed to participate in the school's agricultural activities.Two important things happened in those days, Cameroon player Vivian in the Confederations Cup.Fu Sudden Death Stadium; NBA Houston Rockets trade Francis + Mobley + Cato for Orlando Magic's McGrady + Juwan Howard + Tyronn Lue.

On the way there that day, there was a friend who also likes basketball. He said something like this: Tracy McGrady has a strong scoring ability, but the Magic is a weak team. Is it too expensive to trade Francis Gamobley?

One day in December 2004, I remember it was a Friday noon, a few minutes before physical education class, a group of boys practiced shooting in front of the basket.Suddenly, a classmate who came home for lunch every day rushed over and shouted to us: 12 minutes in 35 seconds, McGrady scored 13 points in the last 35 seconds.At that time, mobile Internet access was not yet popular, and the scores could not be known immediately.When I got home at night, I watched the video on TV and told myself that this was the best kill I'd ever seen.

One day in March 2005, my roommate wore a pair of T-MAC3 sneakers to play. He said he liked McGrady’s jump shot and imitated McGrady’s movement. This guy has been training hard since then, with at least two hours of exercise every day. After a year, he is already the strongest scorer in his grade.I don't know when, more and more people wear T-MAC series on the court, in school and on the street.

One day at the end of April 2005, the Rockets played against the Mavericks in the second game of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. During lunch break, a group of boys turned on the TV to watch the game in the classroom.In the last 4 seconds, the Rockets backcourt the ball, McGrady dribbles forward, Yao Ming comes up for a high pick-and-roll, McGrady takes a step to the right, avoids the defender, takes off and shoots the basket, goes into the net hollow, and the Rockets overtake!
The classroom was boiling, the classroom next door, the classroom downstairs, it felt like the whole school was boiling.At this time, the Chinese teacher came in, turned off the TV, and handed out a set of papers, so we didn't see the Mavericks' last ball. It turned out that the Mavericks' last ball was meaningless.

On a certain day in early May 2005, if I remember correctly, it was the first day after returning from the May Day holiday. There were still a group of boys, still in the classroom, and still on the same TV. After class, they turned on the TV with great anticipation.

Later, I saw the press conference and heard McGrady's words: I will be back!

Throughout the summer of 2005, Swift came to the Rockets, Derek Anderson came to the Rockets, and the news was full of bragging, as if the emperor had come!The Rockets will definitely have a bright future this season!Who would have thought that one is a rough brother, and the other has already passed the peak.

On a certain day in December 2005, on a Saturday afternoon, the Rockets played against the Lakers and McGrady played against Kobe. The Rockets won with difficulty, but McGrady’s performance was not as good as Kobe’s.Back in the dormitory on Sunday afternoon, when I was playing, my roommate who liked McGrady told me that he watched Saturday's game, and he felt that Kobe's skills were more comprehensive, and Kobe's rebounding and shooting were so handsome.Later, gradually my roommate became a supporter of Kobe.

Throughout the first half of 06, the Rockets had neither Yao nor Mai. Lutherhead made people see the hope of the Rockets. That year, when I was a senior in high school, the Rockets did not enter the playoffs for the first time since the Yao-Mai era.

Throughout the summer of 06, Battier came and Spanoulis came, and the Rockets have another hope of winning this season!
Throughout the second half of 06, the badly broadcast commercial on TV: With 20 seconds left in the game, McGrady got the ball in midfield.The opponent may seem powerful, but he is unstoppable.At the last second of the game, McGrady made a shot.Oh, it's the left hand! ! .Even God was moved to tears.

One day in May 2007, Yao Maidu participated in the last playoffs in a 5-3 loss to the Utah Jazz.The thin body of the streetball king really can't carry Deron at his peak...

In the summer of 2007, a new general manager came, Brooks Garlandry in the draft.The Rockets' lineup looked very strong on paper, but no one dared to mention the word "championship" at this time, and everyone was cautiously accumulating rp.At most people will say this: The Rockets this season are very promising, but Yao Mai is healthy.

Yes, as long as Yao Mai is healthy.

After 2007, in fact, McGrady gave me a rather vague impression after that. He was injured and stopped, sometimes he played brilliantly, but most of the time he was accused by others, carrying the infamy of high salary and low ability.And the T-MAC series of sneakers has also become the team series, no longer the McGrady who moved God to tears, but the "ittakes5" McGrady.

Even the 22-game winning streak, even the 07-08 playoffs against the Jazz, but these, to be honest, I am not very impressed.

In March 09, I was ecstatic when I watched the Yaotai team make it to the second round, but how many people have paid attention to those sleepy eyes full of envy and sluggishness?
The score was finally fixed at 3:4.Many people say that McGrady can win the championship this season.But there are still many people who say that it makes the same difference, because Yao Ming fell down in the first game against the Lakers.

In short, this may be the closest the Rockets have come to a championship.

Because of the lack of Yao Mai, the Rockets still dragged to the 7th game, because the Lakers won the championship, and because the next two opponents were the Nuggets and Magic who were completely abused by the Rockets in the regular season...

One day in the summer of 2009, McGrady put on the No. 3 jersey, which seemed to give people new hope, but just like his No. 1 jersey, his explosive power, elegance, all disappeared...

One day in February 2010, the Rockets have not had Tracy McGrady since.

On July 2011, 7, with tears of reluctance in his eyes, he watched Yao Ming retire and never watched the NBA again.

I was born in 88, and I am 26 this year. Yao Ming entered the NBA in the third year of junior high school. Tracy McGrady came to the Rockets during the summer vacation of the first year of high school. In high school and college, I read the text live broadcast on my mobile phone while attending classes, "Slam Dunk" magazine, and Basketball Pioneer.

I don't know how many people are on the same trajectory as me, I believe there will be many.Even before Yao Ming entered the NBA, he was already a basketball fan, but it is undeniable that he has paid more attention to the NBA since then. When he was in high school, he could almost name all the players in the league.

Once upon a time, after the Rockets game, how many boys would change your QQ signature because of this; once upon a time, how many people would count down to themselves when they were playing, count them out loud, and finally shouted: The last second, McGrady shot!

Today, we are nearly thirty, what is our signature?Helpless self-ridicule, those irrelevant and boring sentences, and those endless complaints; how many people can often play ball, and those brothers back then...

I would like to use this article to commemorate McGrady's six years in the Rockets.

PS: Actually, the most attractive thing when I saw McGrady for the first time was that his pair of extremely thin "beautiful legs" are not the sleepy eyes that other people pay attention to.
