I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 218 Locker Room Conflict

While Dorsey is going smoothly, McGrady has been sluggish.

Playing off the bench made him unable to find his status.

Some people are born to stand center stage and stand under the spotlight.If he is allowed to serve as a supporting role for others, it will be more uncomfortable than killing him, and his combat effectiveness will plummet.

7 points, 6 points, 9 points... these are the report cards that McGrady has handed over in the last few games. Scoring double figures seems to have become an unattainable goal.

The criticism of him from the outside world is overwhelming, and insults and abuse are heard one after another.

Everyone knows McGrady and the Rockets have come to an end, the only question is when to trade.

But people with a discerning eye know that the current McGrady is like an expensive but flashy famous painting, with many onlookers but few tempted ones, with a price but no market, and no transaction value.

However, only Dorsey knew that McGrady's condition seemed to be worse than in his previous life.

At this time in his previous life, although he also had a falling out with the team, playing games and resting games, he occasionally performed well, at least the statistics would not all be in single digits.

The reason is that the only difference is that in the previous life, it was Weaver who competed with McGrady for the position, but in this life, it became Dorsey.

Dorsey's wonderful performance stimulated McGrady, but this stimulation was not a positive incentive, but a reverse regression.

Dorsey was very worried. In his previous life, McGrady announced his reimbursement for the season after the All-Star Game in February.But according to the current situation, he may not last until the All-Star Game, and he will completely break with the team.

McGrady stopped playing, which seems to be a good thing in the short term. The Rockets' lineup tends to stabilize, the X factor that affects team unity disappears, and the team becomes united again.

But in the long run, it will definitely do more harm than good.McGrady's talent is still the top in the league, and he is the man who determines the Rockets' performance ceiling.

Without McGrady, the Rockets may not play too badly, but without him, they are destined not to go too far.

After all, he has a salary of more than 2000 million U.S. dollars. If he stops playing, the thickness of the Rockets' lineup is equivalent to more than 2000 million U.S. dollars less than the opponent!

If the Rockets in the previous life had Tracy McGrady in the playoffs, and Yao McGrady fit together, they might not be able to break through the mountain of the Lakers.

Dorsey hopes that McGrady will play, not only for himself, but also for the team, especially Yao Ming.

If there is no big change between this life and the previous life, this will be the last full season of Dayao's career.

What should I do myself?

On January 1, the Rockets visited the Madison Garden Arena to challenge the New York Knicks.

The day before the game, Yao Ming felt pain in his right knee, and Adelman dared not be careless, so he asked Yao Ming to stay in Houston to rest.

However, the house leak happened to be raining overnight, and Mutombo accidentally poked his finger while warming up before the game, and he also missed the game.

The successive changes made the Rockets suddenly have no center available.

Adelman had to overthrow his previous overall deployment and let Dorsey play center.

In the position of shooting guard, Adelman, after repeated weighing, let McGrady return to the main position.

However, Ashuai's trust did not allow McGrady to regain his touch. He played 31 minutes and 54 seconds, but only scored 9 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. The technical statistics still failed to reach double figures.

Dorsey fought bloody battles with Jared Jeffries and David Lee in the interior, sparks splashed everywhere, and scored a large double-double with 26 points, 15 rebounds and 4 blocks, but still failed to help the team win.

Due to the weakness of the perimeter, the Rockets lost 98:104 to Madison Garden.

Tracy McGrady's curse of not winning the first game continues to plague the Rockets.

After the game, in the locker room, the fiery Ci Shiping finally couldn't bear it and exploded!
"Tracy, what's the matter with you? This is not the Tracy I know! If I knew you were like this, I swear I would never come to the Rockets!"

"Ron, I didn't invite you here. Whether the fight is good or bad is my own business, and it has nothing to do with you!"

Metta Shiping jumped up and down like a raging lion, "Damn it, you have affected the team! It has affected everyone! This year is my contract year, I want to play well with the team, and I still Want to sign a big contract! Also, my name is Charity World Peace!"

Seeing that Ci Shiping went crazy, Mai Di was also startled, but still muttered: "You didn't fight well, blame me..."

boom!
A folding chair was thrown over by Ci Shiping, fortunately the aim was not good, and it hit the wall next to Mai Di.

Ci Shiping wanted to jump over and teach McGrady a lesson, but how could his teammates let him do that.

A group of people rushed over, crossing arms and crossing legs, separating Ci Shiping from Mai Di.

This event, which seriously affected the morale of the army, was classified as a first-class secret by the Rockets management, and no one was strictly allowed to confide a word to the outside world.

However, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. The next day, the conflict in the Rockets' locker room was exposed on the Internet.

Although the Rockets have all denied it, and even Mosaic vowed to reserve the right to pursue the legal responsibility of the rumormonger, but everyone knows that the Rockets' locker room has been messed up.

Houston, McGrady's mansion, the doorbell outside the courtyard was rang.

The butler took a look through the visual system and saw that it was a familiar license plate, and the people in the car were also acquaintances, so he opened the door and let him in.

Out of the car was a small white man with a goatee, with muscles that were out of proportion to his small head.

The man, of course, was Wayne Hall.

When the whole world abandoned McGrady, only he did not abandon or give up.

McGrady is not only his training target, but also his friend.

Before coming, Hall guessed what Maddy would be like, how lonely and depressed he was, and even worried that Maddy would be overwhelmed and commit suicide.

But after arriving at Maddy's mansion, he was surprised to find that he was completely wrong!

McGrady's mansion is extremely lively, the lights are feasting, and there is a party going on!
Hall looked for Maddy in the crowd, there were drunk men and women everywhere, he almost searched Maddy's mansion, and found Maddy drinking alone with a bottle of whiskey in a corner.

"Tracey!" Hall yelled.

Maddie looked up drunkenly and saw Wayne Hall.

"Oh, dear Wayne, you're here! That's great, have a drink with me!"

With that said, McGrady stood up staggeringly, and pulled Hall's hand.

Hall was very angry, and shook off the hand that was drawn to him.

"Tracey, what's going on? How can you drink so much!"

"Hey, it's okay, I'm not drunk," McGrady said with his tongue out, "My drinking capacity is stronger than my golf skills!"

Generally, when a person says he is not drunk, it means that he has drunk too much, and McGrady is no exception.

Hall was furious, "Tracey, I know you are very depressed, but the more you are like this, the more you should not give up! You should be on the training ground now, not drinking here!"

McGrady sneered, "Training? What's the use! The whole world hates me now! Coaches, teammates, fans hate me! I can never go back, I'm McGrady that everyone hates!"

"No, no one will give up on you, except yourself!" Hall roared anxiously, grabbing Maddie's shoulders with both hands, "Wake up, Tracy, you are only 30 years old, and you still have a chance! As long as you work hard Train, get rid of these bad habits, and I have the confidence to bring you back to the top!"

McGrady lowered his head and remained silent for a while, then slowly raised his head, his eyes blurred and he broke free from Hall's hand, "I can't go back! I know my body better than anyone else, and I can't go back! You go, I Don't want to see you again!"

Hall stared blankly at McGrady, feeling that he was so strange.

"Tracy..."

"Enough, you go!"

McGrady broke out, roared hysterically, and smashed the whiskey bottle in his hand to the ground.

The bottle shattered, like Hall's heart.

Hall left in a daze, but he didn't see two lines of tears in McGrady's sleepy eyes behind him.
