NBA: I'm really not a point guard god

Tracy McGrady, the head star of the Magic.

In the 1996-1997 season, McGrady averaged 27.5 points and 8.5 rebounds per game.

He was the well-deserved best player in North Carolina that year, and was also named the number one high school student in the United States.

Then McGrady chose to skip the college stage and join the NBA directly.

That year, the Raptors selected McGrady with the No. 7 pick in the first round.

Unfortunately, he didn't even make the All-Rookie Team that year.

However, the average of 7 points and 4.2 rebounds per game is also good.

Whether it's the coach, the fans, or the media, they all believe that McGrady will have a bright future.

But in the second year, the Raptors got his cousin Vince Carter.

McGrady averaged 9.3 points and 5.7 rebounds per game, which can be considered a lot of progress.

But cousin Carter averaged 18.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 3 assists per game.

directly became the best rookie.

Tracy is always compared to his cousin.

So, after the rookie contract, McGrady came to Orlando.

This year, McGrady's salary is 1207 million US dollars.

McGrady has also received some honors.

However, in the ranking of the four shooting guards, he is still the worst one.

The strength of the team this year is good.

11 wins and 8 losses so far.

Not surprisingly, it is not difficult to enter the playoffs.

McGrady also has higher pursuits.

Not to mention winning a championship.

At the very least, the goal of reaching the Finals or the Eastern Conference Finals is still achievable.

personal aspect.

McGrady is also fully fired this season.

Last season McGrady ranked fifth in points per game and fifth overall.

There are more than 50 performances in a single game.

This season, so far, McGrady is the scoring leader.

Only Kobe's score is closer to his own.

However, the Wizards' record is not good.

However, Jordan's firepower in these few games is also very fierce, and he has averaged 29.1 points per game.

It is not impossible for him to surpass Kobe or even himself in the following games if he makes persistent efforts.

The Wizards have lost 18 straight.

The Wizards are also behind in the score.

McGrady is not particularly worried about the outcome of this game.

However, his score must be higher than Jordan.

Under the organization of McGrady before, the Magic played well.

Sean Kemp went 5 for 4.

Grant Hill also scored.

McGrady himself has not yet paid for it.

The important thing is that McGrady continues to connect teams, but it doesn't show much from the data point of view.

5 assists, in McGrady's view, nothing at all.

Zhou Yao is still averaging 11.2 assists per game!

It's not like being criticized by the media and fans all day long.

McGrady feels that he can play more selfishly now.

Think of it and do it.

McGrady made a jumper directly.

……

On the Wizards side, Zhou Yao is defending McGrady.

McGrady's height is 203.

When facing up, they often have a height advantage.

And McGrady takes off fast and jumps high.

The dry pull jumper is naturally high and fast.

The guy who defends McGrady.

Either he is not as tall as McGrady.

Either the bounce is not as good as McGrady.

Either the speed is not as good as McGrady.

Or it is not as good as McGrady.

Usually, as long as McGrady chooses a pull-up jumper, he can only pray that he can't make it himself.

Fortunately, a fancy dribble.

Seeing that time was running out, and then had to choose dry drawing, the hit rate was actually not as exaggerated as in the highlights.

The career average is actually just over 30 percent.

Of course, Tracy McGrady in 02 chose to pull out, which was still very destructive.

It's just that Zhou Yao is defending him now.

Today's Zhou Yao is 201 tall, which is not a disadvantage compared to McGrady.

The wingspan is slightly worse.

The bounce was brought up through the goat's star card.

Better than McGrady.

McGrady shot high, and Zhou Yao blocked shots even higher.

Solidly give the opponent a hot pot.

Jordan grabbed the ball, but he didn't hold the ball to play himself.

Instead, it was passed to Ewing, who hadn't run back yet.

Ewing's speed was indeed a little slow, and he played a little absent-mindedly this round.

But it was a blessing in disguise.

Completed the dunk before the Magic returned to defense.

10: 9.

Only one point away.

……

The game continues.

The gap of 1 point has been maintained for a long time.

It was still 3:67 at the end of the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, both sides stepped up their offense.

The difference still cannot be changed.

At the end of the game with 4 minutes left, 87:86, still one point short.

Although McGrady was given a hot pot by Zhou Yao, he still scored a game-high 24 points.

Jordan's state in this game is not very good, only 17 points.

In terms of defense and connecting teams, he is very active.

Zhou Yao has sent 9 assists, and Jordan has 7 assists.

The scoring leader on the Wizards' side is actually the 40-year-old Ewing.

It was Ewing who was let go by the Magic.

Ewing's athletic state is not as good as before.

But that dunk still made him regain a lot of confidence.

Jordan and Zhou Yao kept feeding him the ball.

尤因18投9中，罚球7投5中，也已经拿到23分。

Ewing has not played such a performance in two seasons.

Last season's highest was only 22 points in a single game.

Maddie was a little anxious.

Jordan didn't score much, and it can be said that he was focused on helping Ewing regain his confidence.

Moreover, Jordan is almost 40 years old.

I actually fought back and forth with old Ewing. Speaking of this, I am even more confident in being the bottom of the top four.

The score has also been unable to open.

The Wizards have lost 18 straight.

It would be too bad if they were allowed to gain a victory here.

Maddie grew irritable.

He also knew.

The more this is the case, the more we must be steady and steady.

However, the authorities are confused.

McGrady attacked with the ball and got another hot pot.

The Wizards took the opportunity to launch a fast break, and this time it was power forward Boozer who scored.

Wizards this year's five rookies, Boozer's performance is the best.

Averaged 12 points and 6 rebounds per game.

It has been said that if the record of the Wizards is better, Boozer is very likely to be selected for the best rookie team.

Zhou Yao also thought so.

It's a pity that Boozer's agency contract was not signed to Zhou Yao.

And, because Boozer was outstanding.

Also compressed Haslem's playing time.

After all, Haslem's agency contract was signed to Zhou Yao.

However, Boozer's goal also gave the Wizards the lead for the first time in the entire game.

87: 88.

Magic coach Doc Rivers called a timeout.

After all, everyone can see that the players on the court, especially McGrady, are playing a little impatiently.

It's just that Rivers' suspension didn't work.

Back from the timeout, the Magic players still played impatiently.

In contrast, the Wizards players who took the lead were very calm.

You can't help but be calm.

I have lost too much before.

Some games even lead the entire game, but in the end they still lose.

After falling behind for such a long time in this game, it is not surprising that they lost.

Now that we have taken the lead, we just need to hold on to it...
