Chapter 127 Tracy, do you want to change jerseys with me?
Almost every time, Chen Feng forces him to do some extremely difficult scoring. If Chen Feng's moves are worse, Kobe's score will definitely drop and his shooting percentage will be even lower.
Chen Feng, who was a little proud after hearing Kobe's words, was caught by **Vicci as soon as he arrived at the training hall the next day!
"What's there to be proud of? What's there to be proud of? You didn't score, but your opponent scored more than 30 points. I think you should learn your defense and offense from Leonard and Manu. Now, you
You should run 10 laps first to warm up, right?"
Chen Feng was dumbfounded at the time. He was still warming up after 10 laps? And really speaking, Kobe was Ginobili’s opponent, right? But Chen Feng didn’t refute. If he refuted it, it would definitely be worse than this.
Leonard and Danny Green were snickering on the side, but Mr. Vicky was definitely aware of everything!
"Why are you laughing? Do you think you are happy when Chen is punished? You two will follow suit. In the next game, if the total of the three of you cannot exceed 60 points, no rebounds, and no 15 assists, your third game will be
You don’t have to play in the game, okay?”
Leonard and Danny Green were instantly petrified!
After winning the game, the entire Spurs team was still training hard, or was punished by Mr. Vicki! Except for the three "old men" doing stretching training on the side, everyone else was struggling.
She is running with her face pressed, holding her nose, or practicing strength.
"Hey, Danny, I didn't find that the leader had this hobby last season? He still asked us to 'come on' after winning the game! I really don't understand it!" Chen Feng said.
Danny Green smiled, but Leonard rolled his eyes and said: "The boss is afraid that we will be proud! It is like this every time. Are you the same as you last season?"
Although Leonard did not finish what he said, Chen Feng understood that he did not need the treatment of **Vic last season. In other words, he could not enjoy this kind of treatment!
"Oh! 60 points in the next game! Well, the three of us will score points each, and Danny and I will each have six rebounds. You have to work hard to grab 8, and each of you will assist 5." Chen Feng thought for a moment and said to him.
Leonard said.
Who knew that Leonard ignored Chen Feng's suggestion at all: "Tch! Do you think I will be fooled? You average more points per game. In this way, the scoring will be left to you and Danny, and I will grab more rebounds."
Well, as for assists, just leave it to fate!"
Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, and when he wanted to refute again, Danny Green and Leonard had already run away!
"Hey, man! I think we should talk this over..."
An hour later, **Vitch called everyone to gather together. Chen Feng first saw the guy standing next to **Veach, the former scoring champion - Tracy McGrady!
Spurs fans will never forget the 35 seconds and 13 minutes of McGrady's moment. Now McGrady will put on the Spurs' jersey and go to the playoffs with the team. Of course, they may feel that it is a pity that someone on the Spurs has already worn it.
Jersey number.
At the end of the regular season, McGrady had already announced that he would join the Spurs! However, he did not participate in the first game, nor did he report to the Spurs immediately.
Since 2008, McGrady has never played in the NBA playoffs. This season McGrady has played for the Qingdao team of the CBA. Now he has got the opportunity to return to the NBA and once again go to the second round of the playoffs and beyond.
Target impact, this was his dream.
Chen Feng had known for a long time that he wanted to take this guy back as his opponent. **Vicci also told him that every old guy in the league should not be underestimated, especially a former superstar like Tracy McGrady, the scoring champion!
"Travel McGrady can fill the vacancies and increase experience!" This was the first sentence that Vicky explained to his Spurs teammates.
In fact, after the Spurs laid off captain Jackson, **Vic needed another player to fill the vacancy. Tracy McGrady, who had finished his CBA journey, came into the sight of him and general manager Buander.
Before signing McGrady, Spurs manager Buford said frankly that acquiring McGrady was to fill the gaps in the lineup and add more experience to the team. "Considering the team's current lineup, we feel that we need to add some additions to the lineup.
Depth and experience.”
For the Spurs, this may not be a big thing, but for McGrady and his countless fans, it is great news. Discussions about whether McGrady has a chance to return to the NBA have been heated up in the past year.
It's very hot, and now with McGrady coming to report, everything has the answer.
McGrady himself is naturally very excited. He has joined the strongest team in his career, and the playoffs are waiting for him. As we all know, when McGrady joined the league, he had never made it past the second round of the playoffs.
"No matter what happened, I am happy to be in this environment. This is something I have never experienced in my peak period!" The excited McGrady also posted a photo of himself wearing the Spurs No. 1 jersey. McGrady also revealed,
He will not participate in the Spurs' last regular season game against the Timberwolves. His first game on behalf of the team will be in the playoffs.
And **Vic's view of him is "not a scoring champion, but a plug-and-play veteran!"
McGrady has a well-known past glory. He was a two-time scoring champion. However, what the Spurs need is not a scoring champion, but a veteran who does not need time to break in, a plug-and-play role player.
The vacancy that McGrady filled was exactly the one left by Stephen Jackson. Jackson was kicked out because he refused to accept the arrangement of Jacqueline Veach, which shows that Jacqueline Veach's authority cannot be challenged.
As for what role **Vitch will arrange for Tracy McGrady, it can be seen from the Spurs' employment strategy this season. This season the Spurs focus on cultivating new players. Leonard, Danny Green and Chen Feng's playing time has increased significantly.
After laying off Jackson, the Spurs only had Leonard at the small forward position, but McGrady was still Leonard's backup.
Chen Feng partially filled the void after Jackson left, but experience is something not everyone has! Especially a young guy like Chen Feng.
Of course, McGrady also has his own advantages. Not only is his skills the same as before, but he is also experienced and has a broad vision. Ginobili is currently injured, and Parker is also suffering from injuries this season. As a tall and visionary,
, a skilled swingman who has great flexibility when using McGrady. Moreover, McGrady has a very high basketball IQ, and there is no communication barrier between him and Vicky.
If we put aside Tracy McGrady's talent and aura, his 15-year NBA career may only be reduced to four words - wandering. He has successively played for six teams including the Raptors, Magic, Rockets, Knicks, Pistons, and Hawks.
His condition was getting worse and worse, and when he was almost unable to survive in the NBA, the CBA team Qingdao Double Stars supported him as a starting point for rebirth.
Who would have thought that Tracy McGrady came to the CBA at the end of last year and felt more like a "gold rush" in the eyes of many people, but the 34-year-old Tracy McGrady found a "second spring" in his career. Although the Qingdao team finished last, Tracy McGrady
With his extremely high popularity, people have the illusion that every game he participates in seems to be at home.
Why does Tracy McGrady have such a high influence in China? In addition to winning the NBA scoring title twice and being a seven-time All-Star player, there is one person who cannot be avoided - Yao Ming. In the 2004-05 season, Tracy McGrady said when he joined the Rockets
, "There is a big man waiting for me there." Although the "MM combination" has been together for five and a half seasons, due to injuries, there are not many opportunities to actually play together.
But the "closeness" between Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming is an "emotional card" for Chinese fans. Because of Yao Ming's existence, everyone pays attention to Tracy McGrady, and there is an extra level of intimacy. Yao Ming said in the summer of 2011
Retired, and Tracy McGrady's career continued with difficulty.
Looking back, there is always a trace of coincidence in the uncertainty of the journey. Tracy McGrady, wearing a Rockets jersey, created an astonishing 35 seconds and 13 minutes in 2004, facing the current new team, the Spurs.
In the last 35 seconds, Tracy McGrady turned the tide and made four consecutive three-pointers, plus a free throw to complete a super reversal. Just as Tracy McGrady returned to the NBA, the video homepages of major sports stations posted Tracy McGrady's "magic masterpiece" that year, and fans
When you sigh at Tracy McGrady's bravery and invincibility, you will suddenly realize how fast time passes.
Time has aged Tracy McGrady's appearance, but it cannot take away his desire for a championship. After the CBA season ended, Tracy McGrady hoped to one day join an NBA championship team, and now joining the Spurs is an opportunity.
Perhaps, we cannot accurately predict the direction of the Spurs' playoffs. Even if they do not win the championship in the end, the "miracle" that Tracy McGrady once performed on his own will be condensed in the memory of fans, which is more important than a championship ring.
More vitality.
A lot of things about McGrady flashed through Chen Feng's mind. As a former Chinese fan, how could he not know Dayao! To know Dayao, one must also know McGrady. After seeing McGrady's 35 seconds and 13 minutes, even if he is not
He conquered, but he also definitely deserves a high-five!
He is the same person as Kobe. Both are talented, but they are terribly paranoid. As a result, they are still active on the front line of the league. But McGrady wasted too much of his talent in the early days!
But it is undeniable that Tracy McGrady is definitely worthy of respect!
The wheat that once was has lost its edge and curbed its arrogance!
"Hello everyone! I'm Tracy!" McGrady's greeting was simple.
Surprisingly, after everyone briefly said hello and expressed welcome, the first thing McGrady did was to discuss with Chen Feng.
"Chen! I have watched your game, you are a very good guy! I just want to say..." Chen Feng was a little confused that McGrady was so embarrassed to say it.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Chen Feng's mind: "Tracy, do you want to... exchange jersey numbers with me?"
