Reboot McGrady

Chapter 29 029 Difficult Challenge
McGrady was getting a muscle massage. It was exhausting.

After the commercial activities, one game after another, the old men of the Heat gradually couldn't bear the high-intensity fighting, and their state began to fluctuate.

"Don't worry, we just need to be in this state, and it's enough to stay in the playoff lineup." Facing Stan's nervousness, Riley told him the truth calmly.

"Before Mashburn's injury is fully recovered, don't rush to let him play. Let Tracy have more time to grow, and he will become a top player."

Stan Van Gundy nodded and asked, "Mash isn't willing to be a substitute?"

"Of course, he has a very good scoring ability, and he has been unwilling to be Tracy's substitute. His agent mentioned to me in private that if he can't start, he will be traded. In the winter transfer window, I will put him Trade out, before that, I will let him brush up enough data."

Riley squinted, stating a fact that was so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary. The NBA is essentially a commercial league, and players are tradable commodities.

Mashburn will not return until December, when there will be no major physical problems.In the next December, in a month or so, he will be able to get good data.

It would be appropriate to change to a better player or a first-round pick at that time.The Heat's current lineup is relatively stable, and there is no need to go to war.

"But we still need a stable pitcher in the small forward lineup, or a substitute with a bit of offensive ability."

"What do you think of Mike Miller of the Magic? The rookie."

Stan has the impression, "Although he is a rookie, he has a certain three-point shooting ability and a good defensive attitude, which can be cultivated."

"That's fine. The Magic need more record and immediate combat power. As long as there is demand, there is a consensus on the deal, and we will succeed." Pat Riley kept smiling, as if the deal had already been done.

"Will Tim hand over the scepter smoothly? He also feels that he is the core of the team." Stein thought of another question.

McGrady has not yet shown his absolute strength, and the old man of the team is still unconvinced.Not to mention Mashburn, Tim is the most important competitor.

Mourning is not here, everyone wants to be the boss.

"This team is Mourning's team. He will come back. That fighter is not so easy to fall."

Mourning's condition has been brought under control. Although there is a problem with the source of man's strength, he has not given up his career and is actively preparing for his comeback from injury.

Stan froze for a moment, and murmured in his heart, "Are you not sure about McGrady's core position in the team?" But he was very smart and couldn't say such words.

Now, McGrady has become the core player of the Heat, and he is still very young, only 21 years old, and his career has just taken off.The Heat build a team with him as the core, and they will definitely achieve good results.

After Stan Van Gundy left, Riley poured a glass of red wine, held it in his hand, and shook it slowly, "The embryo is a good embryo, but it's a pity that there is a health problem."

He asked a professional doctor about congenital scoliosis, unable to persist in high-intensity sports for a long time. McGrady has played in the league for 3 years, and this is the 4th year.The doctor said that persisting for about 5 years is already a very good result.

If you are injured, you will always relapse in the future and cannot recover, which will definitely seriously affect your competitive state.

goooo...

Riley took a sip of red wine and muttered to himself, "Who should I trade him for? It's a pity that O'Neill and Kobe can't come, otherwise I can create a dynasty. I don't need to watch that old man be arrogant."

What emerged in his mind was the smile of Grandpa KFC.

In the next game, McGrady was still amazing.He averaged more than 26 points per game, and averaged 6.3 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game. He has long been raised by the media.

Pat Riley found McGrady again, "Tracey, your recent performance is very good, and the team's record is also stable in the top four. I need you to keep more energy on health."

"In the next game, I will let Mashburn have more playing time." Riley looked at the quiet McGrady and added, "Of course, we will do our best to promote you. You know, the All-Star voting It has already begun."

Hey... Before I knew it, it was already mid-December.The All-Star voting time is nearly a month, and the support of fans will determine whether a player will start in the All-Star Weekend.

"Yes, as long as it doesn't affect the team's record." McGrady couldn't see any emotion in his eyes. After speaking, he got up and left.

He instinctively felt that there would be player trades within the team.It is normal for marginal players to be waived or transferred to the development league.

Coming and going, there are always newcomers next to the water cooler.

But what Riley said must have more than one meaning.

"Could it be that Marsh is leaving?" McGrady quickly thought of this small forward competitor.

If he hadn't been injured at the beginning of the season, he wouldn't have taken the position so early.Therefore, health is very important.Forget it, don't want to.

In the next few games, Riley controlled McGrady's playing time very well, basically around 30 minutes and no more than 33 minutes.Bowen and Mashburn share the remaining time.

Mashburn's data has also become very good, averaging 18 points per game, 4.3 rebounds, 5.4 assists, and a very good performance on the defensive end.

Riley quietly accelerated the transfer operation. On the Magic side, Grant Hill was lucky. He was not reimbursed this season, but he was alone and has not yet made it to the playoffs.He hopes that the team can quickly strengthen and recruit some immediate combat power.

"We need you in the next game." Riley warned McGrady, this is to give him more opportunities to shoot.

McGrady knows the schedule, and sure enough, it is a particularly difficult challenge!

The media hype has already begun, and this will be the peak matchup between the two top shooting guards in the East and West.

"Who will win? Kobe or Tracy McGrady?"

"The contenders for the No. [-] shooting guard, Kobe and McGrady are about to meet!"

"O'Neal may become the winner, and the defending champion Lakers have an overall dominant lineup."

O'Neal, Kobe, Rick Fox, the three All-Stars, and brave fighters like Horace Grant, Robert Horry, Sean Harper, and Derek Fisher.

If it weren't for many players being injured one after another, their record will be even higher.From the current point of view, fans feel that the Lakers will win.Including gambling companies, also think that the Lakers will win, the odds are very low.

Before the game, Kobe accepted an interview and vowed, "Tracey is very good, we are very good friends. But I will beat him in the game, and I will not release water because of the relationship between the two."

He shrugged and showed a signature smile, "No matter what kind of opponent I face, I hope to win." He said in his heart, "I am the number one shooting guard."

The book of war is down.

Almost at the same time, McGrady also accepted an interview with TNT, with a calm face, "They are the defending champions, the game will be very difficult, but we will not give up. We also have a very good lineup,"

"Yes, Kobe and I are good friends, and I will naturally not show mercy in the game. This is a respect for the game."

McGrady wants to win more and wants to prove himself.

　Thanks to Lonely Che, Harley Quinn, Huolengma for their rewards!
