If you like Tracy McGrady, you have to come in and sign autographs! ! Write a blessing to McGrady!

There is no wheat left here, there is a place for it.

Come on.

Howard: "Before I entered the NBA, I only knew one person, and he was the Rockets' No. 1." I’d better catch up with Jordan first”.

Kobe: “MJ is my idol, but when it comes to the god in my heart, of course it’s Tracy McGrady. There’s nothing embarrassing about that.”

< p>Duncan: "To be honest, McGrady is the only candidate for MVP.".

Garnett: "I can guard Jordan, but if I am asked to guard McGrady, I would rather leave the game."

p>

Billups: "Not to mention being Tracy McGrady's teammate, I feel honored to be his fan."

Iverson: "Tracy McGrady has replaced Jordan as our New Idol".

Jordan: "The only person who can make me willing to come off the bench is named McGrady."

Carter: "If McGrady enters the finals, I would rather quit and give up the championship. Give it to him, I really don’t have the courage to challenge him."

Magic: "In terms of personal ability, there is no doubt that Tracy McGrady has replaced Michael as No. 1. Everyone in the league dreams of surpassing him. But. You know, this is unrealistic."

Russell: "Fortunately McGrady was not in that era, otherwise I might not have won a championship."

Bird: "I wouldn't be surprised if McGrady scored 100 points in front of me."

Stern: "After watching the NBA for so many years, there is only one person in my heart who cannot be replaced, and he is McGrady." .

Fans: “There is no one who doesn’t know Tyson when watching boxing, there is no one who doesn’t know Maradona when watching football, and there is no one who doesn’t know the basketball god Tracy McGrady when watching the NBA.

McGy After winning the Most Improved Award, when McGrady scored 60 points, Kobe was still licking O'Neal's asshole. When McGrady won the scoring title, Kobe was still O'Neal's little brother.

If McGrady had partnered with O'Neal, Kobe would have been better. In the Magic, the likely result is that the Lakers win five consecutive championships, the Magic do not make the playoffs for N years, and Kobe leaves Orlando in anger. The reason: McGrady's style of play is more collective, more comprehensive, and his personality is introverted. Like Kobe and O'Neal, personal disagreements affected the team's chemical reaction. With O'Neal, McGrady will not be injured due to too much pressure on the court, so his breakthroughs that are not inferior to Kobe's will not degenerate (you must know that McGrady was His first step is one of the best in the league), and he is better than Kobe in maintaining mid-range and three-pointers (the three-pointers have declined this season), plus his passing and rebounding abilities have always been better than Kobe's (still the same now) , partnering with O'Neal to win five consecutive championships with the Lakers is not a problem; and when Kobe feels helpless, he will be trapped in going it alone, and the Magic will naturally not be able to enter the playoffs. In fact, players also need luck. If the above assumption comes true, Then McGrady is the second shooting guard in history, not Kobe.

I am extremely disappointed. I have never been so disappointed. I have never been so sad since I became a McGuire fan. The sad thing is not because McGrady played in two consecutive games and scored low again and again. The sad thing is that the fans who once supported TMAC and stood by Tracy McGrady began to waver.

They saw the magnificence of Kobe Bryant, who was as famous as Tracy McGrady. In comparison, Tracy, who was wearing black shoulder pads and a white bandage on his knee, was so insignificant. The layup was blocked by Kobe, who in turn succeeded in a single. He made 11 shots and 10 times, and his breakthrough was blocked again and again. yes. The way he fought was so ugly, it was really embarrassing.

I know a lot of Kobe fans, whether they are rational Kobe fans or crazy Kobe fans, they all like to ask me this question without exception: "Why do you like Tracy McGrady so much?"

Their reasons are so good, of course they are based on Kobe Bryant.

Travel McGrady does not have Kobe's strong body and often misses games.

McGrady does not have Kobe's perfect skills. McGrady lags behind Kobe in three-pointers and free throws, and his mid-range shooting percentage is also far behind.

T-Mac does not have Kobe's tenacious will. Kobe is used to fighting through injuries. Kobe likes to challenge his limits and dominate the game at the most critical moments. But McGrady has done it but it is rare or... Rarely mentioned.

Yes! McGrady is indeed lagging behind in these aspects. However, how many people know about Tracy McGrady’s helplessness and pain?

Travel McGrady did not have a big man like O'Neal as a backer, so he had to fight for everything by himself. Because his best partner always sits off the court in a suit and tie, he is always the one fighting for the Magic on the court. Averaging more than 40 minutes of playing time per game, and relying too much on his body to play, he accumulated a lot of injuries. But he is the blue and white No. 1, the master of the center of the water house. His central position requires him to drag his unhealthy body to face every opponent, including visitors with good intentions. If O'Neal and Tracy McGrady, who also played for the Magic at the time, teamed up, I don't think the Magic would have entered the Finals and won the championship.

When McGrady was young, he never had a life as privileged as Kobe's. He was raised by his grandmother, who McGrady always called "Mom" affectionately. She also passed away last season, leaving McGrady with endless pain. And McGrady tasted this kind of pain 9 times a year, once in each of the first 9 seasons. Overwhelmed, McGrady dared not answer the phone in the middle of the night because he knew it would be another piece of unfortunate news. Over the years, Maddie has attended too many funerals and listened to too many elegies.

I once saw such a report. An article in an American health magazine wrote about Tracy McGrady's congenital spinal disease, saying that his career life span will be very short. The credibility is unknown, but it at least shows that McGrady's physical condition has not been good. It is understandable that McGrady is afraid of physical confrontation due to physical reasons. After all, he was already strong and proved himself back then. After all, his body no longer allows him to perform such unbridled dunks.

T-Mac played the two worst games of his career. This is exactly the moment to test McGrady fans.

I hope every McGrady fan can have the same mentality as me. When seeing players like Kobe Bryant performing well and McGrady continuing to slump, when faced with other people’s questions about why they like McGrady, they can I say it from the bottom of my heart, "There is really no reason why I like Tracy McGrady, I just like to support him and wait for his next return as the king"!

"Even though I was injured, those facts are indelible. I was injured, but I was still alive. Even though I had a lot of physical injuries, I was still able to play, and I would keep playing. All died Everyone is worthy of my respect and worthy of my fighting for them.”

——This is what McGrady said after the relatives around him passed away one by one over the years.

"As a 29-year-old man, death and injuries occupy most of the shadow."

Psychic pain:

Ten seasons, ten deaths. ——T-Mac

November 1997: Henry Andrews, his best friend from school days, was killed in a car accident. 98-99 season: Ryan McGrady, one of the four best friends T-Mac grew up with, who was like a cousin to a brother, suddenly died of an asthma attack while playing in December 1999.

"The knife fell from his hand, and then he and his girlfriend rushed out of the restaurant like crazy. "I don't know if I had paid for that meal at that time. "Maddie later recalled"

99-00 season: Vanessa Jones (Vanessa Jones), one of the four best friends T-Mac grew up with, broke up in October 1999 The boyfriend was shot in the head with a pistol.

"If you love a woman and want to marry her, you should respect her. Why kill her? It's simply outrageous." McGrady murmured to himself

00 Season -01: Childhood playmate Corey Bass was shot and killed by a mugger. In the same year, McGrady's stepmother, Jacquelen McGrady, left McGrady and this beautiful world because of cancer.

02-03 season: The death of Eric Anderson hurt McGrady the most. They grew up together and shared McGrady's NBA dream.

Now, when he has free time, McGrady often drives back to his hometown to reminisce about the past. There are his childhood there and a lot of traces of his life there. The most important thing is that when he comes there, he will naturally think of his friends in heaven. "It's in that place, look, it's there." He pointed to a place familiarly and said poignantly: "We played football and baseball together, and that was the paradise of our childhood.

There was also a river over there where my grandmother used to go fishing, and in the evening we had delicious fried fish to eat. That's what we look forward to most. "

03-04 season: McGrady's great-grandmother Johnny Ruth Green passed away. It was she who raised McGrady.

" McGrady once said, without her , I might have died a long time ago.

My great-grandmother told me, 'Don't touch drugs, they will kill you. ”

04-05 season: Carroll Johnson, T-Mac’s cousin, who grew up together and led T-Mac into the sports world, died unexpectedly in March 2005.

05-06 season: It was this year that McGrady’s mother-in-law passed away.

“Everyone is comforting McGrady. Everyone in the NBA knows about him. For McGrady, no one has made it public. , All-Star Game, McGrady got 26 shots, and even Kobe was willing to pass the ball. ”

06-07 season: Tracy McGrady’s grandfather Eddie McGrady passed away at his home in Florida. He and his grandfather had a very good relationship. In order to fully attend to the funeral, he asked for leave from the team. Missed subsequent media days

Physical injuries:

Injuries: Hand, foot, hip, knee, ankle, toe, quadriceps, pleurisy, concussion. , the most serious - a long history of back injuries

“Back injuries are the most serious and long-lasting of all sports injuries, because the limbs are attached to the back muscles, and once damaged, the whole body will be paralyzed”< /p>

“Many people say Tracy McGrady is soft. Please take a look at how this man was injured.

His back was hit by two people in the Magic and Rockets without defense. Bumped.

Do you know the result of two more hard impacts on the back that is sick from overwork? "

Faced with the deaths of relatives and friends, he said this Words:

·It feels like a knife has been inserted into my heart.

·It’s gone, it’s gone, and now the cat I grew up with is gone. < /p>

·We hate this church every time we come here, really.

·If you look at his expression at this time, you hope you never see it. (By Magic trainer Wayne Hall)

·I have experienced too many such things, and only on the basketball court can I temporarily forget my troubles.

< p>·Why is God so harsh on me? Why doesn’t he give me more happiness and joy?

“

I don’t know every year? What it feels like to lose a loved one, I am afraid that few people have this experience.

But I know that this man named McGrady still appeared on the battlefield after the tears dried up.

I don’t know what it’s like to play well and be inexplicably hit with a serious injury that affects your career

But I know that this man named McGrady fell down time and time again and stood up and ran on the court.

If a person does not flinch in the face of death and has no fear in the face of the devil

It cannot be called strong or brave.

Then I don’t know at what level strength and bravery should be defined.

If you still despise this man, please continue and worship those who are truly strong

If If you want to pity this man, please go away, because no one can understand his experience

The devil is on the left and death is on the right

He is walking on this single-plank bridge of destiny. Come.

”

“People who laugh more often actually have more sadness”

——Dedicated to those who have loved, hated, and scolded People who have ever despised T-mac

On December 20, 2006, Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming participated in the American ABC talk show. The host Jimmy Kimmel mentioned that it is unbelievable that in China , the most popular among the fans was not Yao Ming, but Tracy McGrady. There was a burst of laughter. The host immediately emphasized: "It's no kidding, it's no fun (this is true), Tracy, can you explain? "

T-mac showed childlike shyness and said: "I don't know.

”

In 2008, T-mac missed more than a dozen games due to a knee injury. This year, he failed to enter the All-Star Game. As a 19-year-old, he participated in the All-Star Rookie Game and has since This is undoubtedly a shame for a talented star who has never been selected for the All-Star Game since 2001.

On January 3, during the Rockets' home game against the Warriors, T-mac was once again showing off his designer suit. Encountered Jimmy Kimmel. Jimmy asked: "Hey, Tracy, do you know what Chinese fans think of you now? ”

Trac McGrady did not answer. He glanced at the Black Crow Crow’s stage and gave his teammate Yao Ming a thunderous cheer. In this game, Yao Ming was alone and the Rockets suffered a disastrous defeat. .

T-mac smiled bitterly, and this expression was quickly captured by a reporter with an oriental face waiting next to him. T-mac would never have imagined that the so-called man on the other side of the ocean. In a country with 100 million fans, an intriguing and eye-catching headline will appear on all major news portals the next day, accompanied by a picture: The Rockets are in a losing streak, and Tracy McGrady looks relaxed off the court.

T-mac. I would never have thought that the writers who once praised the M-M combination are racking their brains to plan his future and are going all out to instigate him to be sent to the Lakers.

T-mac is not there. Walking through the familiar aisle of the Toyota Center, he was used to being surrounded by a group of Orientals, but he still couldn't adapt to the aggressiveness hidden behind the polite words during this period, and the strange but strong professionalism in his overly concerned eyes. Chinese reporters always caught him, and he couldn't escape.

"T-mac, how do you feel about not being selected for the All-Star Game? ESPN columnist Mark Stern pointed out that "Between Camby and Paul," you are not worthy of an All-Star. How do you respond? "

"T-mac, how is your knee injury? The team doctor said it was just some mild inflammation, is that so? ”

“Tracy, the people of Detroit recently gave you the title of ‘Half Price Man’, saying that you can only be considered half a man at best and can only play half a season. Is that so? "

T-mac's heart was twitching, and he was speechless.

If the Rockets win, it will be a different situation.

" T-mac, now Yao Ming leads the Rockets to play better and better. Barkley said that the Rockets are now Yao Ming's team. What do you think? "

"T-mac, how do you feel about missing the Rockets' current exciting winning streak? ”

“T-mac, please evaluate your teammates, or do you have any suggestions for your teammates? ”

T-mac’s slightly raised lips became stiff. In the past, when he was extremely sad, he would respond to ridicule and God’s injustice with a mocking smile. Today, his charming smile has become cautious. It was extremely unnatural. Because his agent told him that his unintentional smile had hurt the Chinese fans because they thought it was a kind of schadenfreude. But T-mac followed his agent's advice. He suggested that he did not smile and solemnly told reporters: "I am proud of the Rockets' victory, but don't be overly happy because the opponents defeated during this period are not strong enough..."

Many double-stroke moves Dragon Snake's hands were recording excitedly, using square characters that T-mac could never understand. This group of writers hired by China's major sports websites never lacked exaggerated rhetoric and gorgeous imagination. They only needed to find something that would irritate their eyes. It's just a gimmick.

T-mac's advice to the Rockets is irrelevant. What's important is that tomorrow there will be dazzling headlines on major Chinese websites: Tracy McGrady questioned the value of winning streak and actually said that winning is the only way to win. Because the opponent is weak!

When McGrady stepped into his Lexus Land Cruiser with his head down, a childish-looking Chinese boy shouted at him: "Tracy, you are a wimp! ”

T-mac was startled. He didn’t understand Chinese, but he understood the contempt on the boy’s face. Of course, he couldn’t remember that he had signed an autograph for this Chinese student two years ago. At that time, the young man named Yang enthusiastically climbed up to his tall shoulders and told him in broken English: I fell in love with you when you were in Magic.

When T-mac was here. While he was sweating profusely in the gym at home and fighting off the fat on his waist, Chinese writers were talking about Tracy McGrady's professional habit of always being the last one to arrive at the training facility.

When T-mac tries to avoid the painful memories of the playoff round, Chinese reporters with amazing memories will always bring it up without losing any opportunity. They even looked at his back injury unkindly. It would be nice if the back injury could be shown as bloody as the knife wound - of course, this is my idea, the voice of a bystander - but T-mac can't, he can only suffer the back injury silently and doubts about his personality and personality. Double agony of spiritual character.

Sometimes, they can't help but mention some new terms that cannot be translated in English: soft egg, blacksmith, brittle knee, sleeper, cancer, glass man... Their eyes are like Mexico Cactus, covered with burrs.

T-mac has never thought about escaping. He once answered the media in a sonorous and forceful manner: "If the Rockets cannot enter the second round of the playoffs, all the responsibility lies with me!"

Although fans who have a little knowledge of basketball and have watched all the playoffs will realize that the Chinese giants' fragile defense and poor mistakes also have unshirkable responsibility, T-mac has never thought of passing the responsibility and the bitter consequences of failure to teammate. It was he who came to the press box on behalf of the whole team, holding back tears in the face of doubts and ridicules like frost knives and icy swords. While he was speechless and choking, the TV director was replaying the frustrating footage of him when he failed in the game over and over again, and promptly Insert the bold statement he had vowed at the beginning.

He never thought about escaping, but he was really tired of it, and he began to avoid interviews with Chinese reporters. But how could he, who is kind-hearted, have thought that silence can sometimes become evidence of crime. In the tricky thinking of Chinese writers, that is a kind of default!

At a press conference after the second game against the Jazz in the 2007 playoffs.

"Tell the truth, Yao." Yao was casually talking about his evaluation of this game, and T-mac couldn't help but add a sentence.

The reporters couldn’t help but laugh.

"What is the truth?" Monk Yao Zhanger was confused.

"Okay, let me tell you the truth." He showed a mysterious smile, "Yao told me in the locker room that he dreamed that Boozer would be killed at night, so that he He is invincible in the paint."

"Really?" Yao Ming was also happy.

"Of course, Yao, don't you remember?" T-mac's expression was still serious, but he couldn't help but laugh.

This is the real relationship between Yao and Mai. They never thought about squeezing each other out and one person ruling the Rockets.

People seem to have forgotten that the reason why T-mac came to the Rockets is well known: he needs a big man! He had had enough of fighting alone during magic! In a confrontation between the Magic and the Rockets, the 2.26-meter Eastern giant left a deep impression on T-mac.

When T-mac was a poor boy from North Carolina, he passed by a Lexus car store. Even though he was shy, he couldn’t help but waved to the beautiful car sales lady. He swore that one day he would Want to buy a Lexus Land Cruiser and marry that beautiful lady. Now, Lexus has long been his riding horse, and the car lady has also accepted her as his beloved wife. If he could use one word to describe the impression Yao had on him, it would be "amazing", just like when he met ClaRenda Harris. If someone says T-mac wants to get rid of Yao Ming and go it alone, he must be crazy! In the last game against the Jazz in the 2007 playoffs, T-mac passed the ball accurately to Yao Ming's hands time and time again. Yao faced fierce and aggressive defense and could not catch the ball... We have not seen introverted characters. T-mac looked up to the sky and sighed, but we can feel the bitterness and despair in his heart under his calm face.

As for Yao Ming’s feelings for T-mac, we can replay the Rockets game video over and over again. Whenever T-mac makes a key shot, the first one to embrace him is the big man; T-mac missed the key free throw, and the first person to pat him and comfort him was the big man.

I don’t know if T-mac understands what he means in the eyes of Chinese fans when he puts on a red Rockets jersey. The white and red home and away jerseys would simply be the Chinese national team jerseys if it weren't for ROCKETS printed on the chest.

Hundreds of millions of Chinese fans have long regarded the Rockets as their home team. Will T-mac, a street kid who grew up in the "ego" cultural background of the United States, understand the expectations of Chinese fans? I believe, yes, T-mac cherishes this love from across the Pacific. This reminds people of what talk show host Jimmy asked at the beginning: "Which one of you two is from China?" Yao Ming quietly pointed to his teammates beside him humorously. T-mac raised his eyebrows proudly and did not answer.

In 2007, Sina Blog found T-mac, who happily wrote messages and blessings for Chinese fans. Accompanying the Sina reporter was a 14-year-old girl from Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. She became the lucky winner in a mobile NBA card lottery and realized her dream of watching NBA games live.

When she finally got T-mac's autograph, her long eyelashes shone with tears. Everyone thought she was crying with joy, but they didn't expect her to cry. She told T-mac aggrievedly that she had spent this period of time in darkness. Overnight, those Maimies who once loved T-mac fervently transformed into the craziest Maihees. In the forum, they used the meanest words to call her a soft honey, a wire, and called T-mac a softie. , blacksmith, fraud, half-price man...the translator couldn't help but blush when he relayed these terms to T-mac.

Facing the little Chinese fan who was crying to him, T-mac, who was calm and collected on the field, couldn't help but be at a loss. He just held the little girl tightly in his broad arms and kept saying Said: "Oh no, no, no, take it easy, it's nothing." It seemed that all this was his fault. In the DV that Sina reporters brought back to China, I actually saw T-mac’s eyes filled with sparkle. Being ignorant, I have only seen him cry twice. The last time was at the press conference after losing to the Jazz in the playoffs. .

Yes, living in Houston, he simply cannot understand the public opinion struggle taking place against him in a distant country that is no less than a coup. Even after watching football for eight years, it is difficult for me. Understand the psychology of some Chinese people. Not only those careless little brats, but also some of the big-name commentators on CCTV are also painstakingly hinting and inspiring in this "movement". But T-mac decided that it must be his fault for making a pure-hearted eighth-grade girl so sad.

Only those innocent and cute little girls will stand with their idols in the most difficult moments, but they are not at the same level as the "Maihei" opponents. They are besieged. Being bullied by those big brothers who claim to understand football with some boring statistics, they will be called "ball-blind", "nymphomaniacs", and "idiots who look at people but not football", but those so-called "understanders" who like to list statistics People who "ball" will never understand that the philosophy of basketball is not just as simple as gorgeous numbers. They will never be able to experience the joy and catharsis of getting out of the trough with their idols and overcoming doubts, criticisms and even themselves!

After that, the Chinese reporters who were squatting at the Toyota Center around the clock were surprised to find that T-mac came to the training hall earlier than ever before. He was so silent and calm, and every step It was as if he had been given a huge responsibility, and even Alston, the kid from New York, couldn't make a joke on him to inspire his playful smile. When he raised his gaze into the air, revealing what the Chinese call "dead fish eyes", he seemed to see lovely smiling faces paying attention to him. His whole body was filled with strength, and even the dull pain in his back subsided quickly.

On February 29, Yao Ming suffered a bone fracture and announced that he would be out for the season. Sports commentators have even quietly removed the Rockets from the playoff list. The famous basketball commentator Bill Ingram, nicknamed "Rocket Man", does not even dare to leave his house. He is afraid of being caught by the big-mouthed Klee, "Hey, Rocket Man, what's going on with the Rockets, a strong contender for the championship?" There was a burst of laughter in the studio. Ingram, who thought the Rockets were a strong contender for the championship at the beginning of the season, was ridiculed by the entire league.

Just when people thought the rocket disintegrated and exploded, T-mac took over the rest of the game. < /p>

The director lost no time in inserting Barkley's contempt and slander against T-mac before the game, which made Barkley feel ashamed.

Last time he kissed Donkey's Buttocks because of Yao Ming's affairs, and now it's Donkey's turn to kiss his Buttocks.

Just when the rocket Buddha was blocking the Buddha and the demon, a strange argument emerged: "The rocket without Yao is better."

Let us take a look at this argument. How to brew it? This technique is patented by some Chinese people.

"T-mac, please talk about your views on the current Rockets."

"After we lost our big man inside, we had to strengthen our defense inside. Today, we are exactly Use tight defense to contain the opponent's attack..."

What follows is no longer important. Yes, for Chinese writers, they have keenly captured an argument they think is brilliant: "We have better defense without Yao - by Tracy McGrady."

Faced with such a despicable word game, even an ordinary fan like me who is neither a fanatic nor a senior fan can't help but get angry. I want to use The worst possible word to greet these bastards!

Fortunately, T-mac will not see this, and the kind-hearted T-mac does not have to face the ugly distortion. He still calls Yao Ming every day to check on his injury. Sometimes, he would make a little joke: "YAO, I miss you. How about we go see Brokeback Mountain when we have time?" - Yao Mai once talked about the fun of watching Brokeback Mountain together on the ABC talk show.

Sometimes, he would be very poetic. T-mac once sang a hip-hop song, which was amazing enough. I didn’t expect that he would also compose poetry:

My City Wall

We will help You are healthy again

One day,

a stronger you

will smile proudly and re-enter that world with us

battlefield!

Seeing this, I couldn’t help but burst into tears. In the United States, T-mac has gradually faded out of the top ten most popular stars. In Africa, the top ten rankings may have changed slightly, but T-mac has also gradually lost its luster as a superstar. In Europe, people's favorites are Notre Dame, Parker, Gasol, and of course Kobe. Only in China, T-mac is still a superstar comparable to Kobe. What kind of fate is this? The fate between one person and 10 million people. T-mac is happy, and Chinese fans are also happy, because they will witness T-mac lead the Rockets to rise from the trough and continue to create miracles!
