Chapter 940: Timai's Career Turning Point
But even the regressed Tracy McGrady is the Knicks' biggest signing since the introduction of Madman at the end of the last century. In the past 20 years, the Knicks have only Ewing, and Maddie can be compared with him.
Another reason for the Knicks' improved record is that the two major cancers at the point guard position were removed last season.
Francis was sent away during the offseason.
Marbury tried to compete with Tracy McGrady for power at the start of the new season, but was beaten miserably.
This became a trigger, and the conflict between Marbury and the Knicks management completely intensified. After playing a few games, Marbury was put on ice and suspended with pay indefinitely.
Without these two people, the Knicks have become a lot stronger.
Starting with McGrady are Jamal Crawford, Quentin Richardson, David Lee, and Eddie Curry.
The substitute lineup includes Nate Robinson, Fred Jones, Jared Jeffries, Wilson Chandler, and Malik Rose.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the game started.
The Assassins were not completely incompetent in terms of coaching. After acquiring Tracy McGrady, he thought about it for days and nights, and suddenly he had an idea and decided to copy the Mavericks' homework.
A common feature of teams with salaries of hundreds of millions - there are many scorers with the ability to score independently!
Therefore, the Knicks’ strategy this year is unlimited singles!
The Knicks performed quite well tonight in isolation. McGrady played 39 minutes and made 11 of 23 shots, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, plus 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 25 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal.
Eddie Curry had 17 points and 6 rebounds, Jamal Crawford had 13 points and 4 assists, David Lee had 14 points and 15 rebounds, Big Q had 11 points, Nate Robinson had 16 points...
For the Trail Blazers, the Outlaws are out tonight due to hip muscle tightness, but Blake is back.
Liu Xiu made 15 of 28 shots, including 3 of 6 three-pointers, and 3 of 4 free throws. He scored 36 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 steals.
Ray Allen scored 20 points, Randolph scored 19 points, Blake, who returned from injury, scored 6 points and 11 assists, Hill scored 12 points, and Lou Williams scored 13 points...
104 to 98, the Trail Blazers narrowly defeated the Knicks by 6 points, improving their record to 28 wins and 11 losses!
…
After playing against McGrady who left Kidd, Liu Xiu learned about McGrady's situation.
It really has degraded.
The game is very simple, he pulls up and shoots, there are fewer breakthroughs, and he relies more on touch than when he was with the Magic.
This way of playing naturally becomes less efficient.
Moreover, that aura was gone. At only 28 years old, Tracy McGrady gave Liu Xiu the feeling of being in his twilight years.
Just like a 23-year-old outlaw who doesn’t have much potential to tap into in his ‘growing period’,
McGrady is 28 years old, his "prime" age, but he is already past his prime.
It was not easy to win this game. Liu Xiu enjoyed the game itself, but playing against Tracy McGrady, he had lost the previous happiness.
In this time and space, Tracy McGrady's seven most glorious years have passed.
Liu Xiu chose to distinguish the McGrady he met before from the McGrady he met now...
Not only has McGrady's strength deteriorated, but his mentality has also changed - I have played in the Finals, won the scoring title, and been selected for a while... These teammates are not worthy of me, and I can be better than them in any game.
On the 19th, the Trail Blazers faced the challenge of the Nuggets at home.
Compared to Tracy McGrady, Liu Xiu now appreciates Iverson more.
Iverson, who is only half a year away from turning 33, is not only better, but also has a completely different attitude towards the game.
Anthony played 46 minutes tonight, making 10 of 27 shots, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 7 of 7 free throws. He scored 28 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists.
Despite Anthony's low shooting percentage, his efficiency is actually very high. Among his 15 rebounds, there are 8 offensive rebounds.
Iverson made 10 of 22 shots, including 3 of 6 three-pointers, and 5 of 5 free throws. He also scored 28 points, plus 2 rebounds, 8 assists, and 3 steals.
Coupled with Kenyon Martin's 13 points, JR Smith's 15 points, Anthony Carter's 14 points and 5 assists... the Nuggets scored 108 points.
For the Trail Blazers, Liu Xiu made 14 of 24 shots, including 3 of 7 three-pointers, plus 6 of 7 free throws. He scored 37 points, 6 rebounds, 11 assists, 4 steals and 1 block.
In addition to Ray Allen's 17 points, Randolph's 10 points and 10 rebounds, Hill's 13 points, and the Outlaws' 10 points... the Trail Blazers scored 103 points.
108 to 103. In this star battle, the Miners defeated Rose Bay with two guns and gave the Trail Blazers their 12th defeat this season!
…
…
The morning after playing against the Nuggets, Liu Xiu got up on time at 7 o'clock.
Looking at the calendar next to the bed, where yesterday's game with the Nuggets was marked, I wrote "defeat", and then looked at the record of 28 wins and 12 losses... The word "defeat" written yesterday was quite ugly.
He doesn't have the qualities of a level 5 amateur calligrapher at all.
But now, looking at the record with a 70% winning rate, my mood is completely different, and I feel pretty good.
After breakfast, Liu Xiu took the little cook Qing'er to buy vegetables and make a pure Chinese meal for noon today.
Near noon, the guest arrived - Yi Jianlian.
Tomorrow, the Trail Blazers will host the final game of three games in a row, and their opponent will be the Hawks.
Liu Xiu warmly entertained the only apprentice who entered the NBA.
This was Yi Jianlian's first visit to Liu Xiu's home in the United States. He was shocked by this large manor.
It shouldn’t be any worse than Bogut’s legendary ‘NBA’s most luxurious estate’, right?
It's a pity that the large manor that Bogut bought for which he owed more than 20 million US dollars to the bank was destroyed by the hurricane, and he didn't even have a chance to visit it.
As a Cantonese, Yi Jianlian really regarded Liu Xiu as his master. The gift was brought here in a pickup truck rented from the airport.
It's for Liu Xiu, it's for Liu Xiu's parents, it's for the teacher's wife... Qing'er ran out wearing an apron and holding a spatula. She looked at the customized excavator Lego divided into 15 large boxes, and her mouth watered.
.
Yi Jianlian had heard that Liu Xiu's sister was the strongest labor force in the family, but seeing Qing'er, who was probably just a junior high school student, fully equipped to cook, and then seeing the rest of Liu Xiu's family looking relaxed and leisurely, he still couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Being the youngest child in this family seems to be no different from stepping into a sinkhole...
The key is to look at the children in the master's family. The oldest twins will not be 4 years old in a few months. It is impossible to help Qing'er. By the time they grow up, Qing'er will have already entered the society and started working.
Already.
How miserable!
However, coming to Liu Xiu's house, Yi Jianlian's aura of being described as "melancholic" by the domestic media this season has dissipated a lot.
The master who is so angry that he will not pay for his life, the virtuous and beautiful master's wife, the little cook Qing'er who is an excavator enthusiast, the master's aunt who is enthusiastic and generous, the master's uncle who is a mechanical enthusiast, the master's mother who enjoys the family happiness with his grandson, the serious mother
Master's father, Master's eldest daughter who is well-behaved and lively, Master's younger daughter who is still a baby...
And the son of his master who seems to be too bored to look at him seriously...
