I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 131 Maddie Returns
Three days into the Rockets' new season build-up, Tracy McGrady was long overdue.

This is the first time Dorsey has seen the superstar in person.

From a close look, it is taller and bigger than the TV, it seems to be taller than myself, and also a little fatter, with drooping eyelids, and it looks like it can't wake up.

Of course, Dorsey knew that when the guy stood on the court with his eyes wide open, his opponents were in for trouble.

Wayne Hall was very happy about McGrady's arrival, but he only exchanged a few words with McGrady before training and was invited out of the training ground.

After all, he is just McGrady's personal trainer, not the Rockets' coach.Today is not a media open day, and he can't just watch the training from the sidelines.

Dorsey was keenly aware that after Tracy McGrady arrived, the team's atmosphere became very subtle.

Although the teammates all greeted him, they were indifferent. Even if they bumped punches and hugged him, they just went to the end. They were not at all warm and excited when they first met Dayao two days ago.

Only the newcomer Artest, Oh no, has now changed his name to Ci Shiping, and he has a heartfelt enthusiasm for McGrady.

The two exchanged a few words of greeting with fist bumps, but they were just talking in general, and there was no more communication.

After all, the two just knew each other and didn't have much interaction.Coupled with Maddie's sleepy appearance, it is difficult to arouse people's desire for in-depth communication.

After the Rockets' coaching staff came to the court, they welcomed McGrady's arrival.

It can be seen that Coach Adelman is really very happy, the team's number one star is back, and the Rockets have finally become a complete team.

Adelman talked to Tracy McGrady for a long time on the sidelines, and he didn't even let him practice with the team.

After the talk, McGrady did not participate in the team's joint practice, but practiced shooting by himself.

While the Rockets players enthusiastically completed the training tasks assigned by the coaching staff, they peeked at the lonely McGrady.

On the training field, McGrady was on one side and the Rockets players on the other, which seemed to be a clear distinction.

"What's wrong with him?" Landry, a second-grade student, whispered to a few friends.

"It's probably because Schrödinger's waist injury has recurred!" Brooks teased with a smile.

"Do you know who is the highest paid person in the league?" Landry asked again with a smile.

"Kobe? James? O'Neal?" Alston asked.

"No, it's McGrady! Because he played the shortest time in a season!"

A hoarse and old voice scolded in a low voice: "That's enough, you guys are not big or small! McGrady is the number one star of the team, you must give him enough respect!"

The speaker was the respected Mutombo.

The rookies stuck out their tongues and obediently shut their mouths.

Dorsey was secretly startled, several second-year rookies dare to complain about McGrady so presumptuously, it seems that the conflict between McGrady and his teammates is very deep!
Dorsey peeked at Dayao, but saw that his face was sinking, as if he hadn't heard these discussions at all.

For the next two days, McGrady has been recovering and training on his own.

It can be seen that his physical condition is not good, his body is obviously heavy, and he can't jump up.Layups and shooting drills in practice are also sloppy and sluggish.

Before and after the team's training, Wayne Hall will come to the training ground, communicate with McGrady alone, and give him hand-in-hand guidance.

But McGrady didn't appreciate it, and seemed very impatient and perfunctory with Hall's guidance.

He also won't go to extra training. After the training, he doesn't seem to want to stay on the court for a moment, and returns to the locker room in a hurry.

So three days passed.

McGrady finally joined the team training.

But it is still limp and listless. Although it can complete all training subjects, it can't do it particularly well.

It looks like playing and practicing.

But having said that, being able to complete these subjects while playing alone shows McGrady's talent and strength.

However, he still does not participate in the confrontation training within the team.

Although Uncle Mu had warned the little guys in the team not to talk nonsense, he himself couldn't hold his breath.

One day, after Doshiga finished training, he returned to the locker room, only to hear several people in the room arguing fiercely.

The old and hoarse voice sounded like Uncle Mu's.

"This is not good. Tracy is the ace player of the team. This kind of training attitude every day will discourage others!"

Battier's voice, nicknamed "President", also sounded, he was trying to persuade Uncle Mu to calm down.

"Don't get excited, Dikembe! Tracy's training attitude has always been like this, but when it comes to the game, he seems to be a different person. This is talent!"

"This year is different! This year we are going to achieve results! Besides, you didn't realize that he seems to be even more lazy."

"His back injury is not good, Dikembe, don't ask him too much!" Battier still supported McGrady.

"Yao, you are the leader of the team, what is your opinion?" Mutombo asked again.

"Don't worry about other things, just do your own thing well!" Yao's voice was low and firm.

"Yao... Alas!" Uncle Mu sighed, his tone full of anger.

Based on the memory of his previous life, Dorsey knew that McGrady and the team would have a tough fight this season, but have there been signs of a break before the season started?
Except that McGrady's matter is a bit troublesome, Dorsey has gained a lot in training these days.

With the deepening of training, the coaching staff began to arrange more and more confrontation training.

Dorsey has seen the strength of the world's top basketball insiders.

It is no exaggeration to say that.

Looking at the entire league, the Rockets' insiders are all top-notch.

Dayao is currently one of the top three top centers in the world, needless to say.

Mutombo has played in the league for 18 seasons, and he can be called a "living fossil". As the only player in the league who won't be called a foul for shaking his fingers, it shows his status in the world.

In the past few days, he frequently shook his fingers in front of Dorsey. Of course, every time he shook his fingers, there was a big hat behind him.

Dorsey didn't care much.After all, this is a man who has hated Jordan, O'Neal, Kobe, Duncan, and James.It's not ashamed to be hated by him, it's quite commemorative!
And Luis Scola is a completely different type of player.

As the "four-carat" diamond of the Argentine national team, he has already shined in the international arena.

In the paint, he is a small personal top, with various turns and low-post skills, making it hard to guard against.

What's even more outstanding is his ball quotient, running position and inside passing ability, and he can always comfortably feed the ball into the hands of his inside teammates.

If he plays 3-on-3 basketball, he is definitely a world champion player.

In addition, there are hard-working "Ban Ye" Hayes, the amazingly energetic Landry and others inside, and "The Beast" Metta Shiping also comes to the inside to wrestle with each other from time to time.

It can be said that the inside line of the Rockets includes almost all types of players.

Dorsey competes with these excellent insiders every day, and the experience and improvement he has gained can be described as riding a rocket.

The teammates were also amazed at Dorsey's ability. This guy is as strong as a bull. He is a guy who can block even Yao Ming defensively. His low-post footsteps and offensive skills are not as bad as the legends say. Show off a few COSCO shots.

What's even more amazing is that this kid's progress speed, everyone can almost feel that he is improving every day!It is growing rapidly, almost visible to the naked eye.

Dorsey's rapid improvement was not only fed by sp value, but also practiced by Jack Sigma and Wayne Hall.

Jack Sigma, as the founder of the fantasy footsteps, has already discovered the potential of Dorsey in the summer league.

In daily practice, he focused on the rhythm and footwork of the offense, which benefited Dorsey a lot.

And Wayne Hall took up a lot of extra training time outside of daily training.

He is like an infatuated woman, waiting for Mai Di hard every day, but Mai Di is like a ruthless prodigal, abandoning him without any scruples.

Wayne Hall's infatuation can only be placed on Dorsey, and he uses various means to f*ck his life during extra training every day, as if he wants to transfer all of McGrady's down to Dorsey.

Dorsey is also good, no matter how hard he practiced, he gritted his teeth and endured it.

Mr. Wang Weide has laid a solid technical foundation for him, and Hall's various training methods are advanced.

The training methods of the two are like the two ends of yin and yang in Taiji. Liangyi produces four images, and four images produce eight trigrams, which makes Dorsey's realm completely natural and achieves Dzogchen.

With Dorsey and the Rockets making rapid progress, soon, the preseason will begin.
