I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 270

On the way back to the locker room, Dorsey dragged Brooks and Landry, two little brothers, behind the main force.

"What are you two doing! This is the playoffs, don't do anything there!" Dorsey lowered his voice and said to them.

"Hmph, didn't he see that Dayao was injured and you went to play center, so he wanted to come back and grab the power!" Brooks muttered dissatisfied.

"We still won the Lakers without him!" Landry also looked disdainful.

"Enough is enough, both of you! What time is this, and you are still doing this!" Dorsey was really anxious.

Xiao Bu and Landry didn't say anything more, but they still looked unconvinced.

The so-called McGrady's comeback will destroy the unity and stability of the team and disrupt the original chemical reaction, which is the current situation.

In the locker room, everyone naturally didn't say anything more.

Adelman briefly emphasized the tactical style of play in the second half, and then the locker room fell silent.

The score was far behind, and Dayao was not there. There was no backbone in the team, and no one took the initiative to stand up to boost morale.

After a moment of silence, Maddie suddenly stood up.

Everyone looked at him in surprise, what is he going to do?Want to give a speech?Did he not understand his own situation, and even regarded himself as the boss of the team!
Everyone still remembers his phrase "we beat like shit" back then!

Some angry expressions appeared on the faces of Xiao Bu and Landry.

But the first sentence that McGrady spoke made everyone stunned:
"sorry!"

Everyone looked at McGrady in surprise, thinking that this guy was very strange.McGrady, who is the only one in the sky and earth, can say "sorry", has the sun come out from the west? !

"I know I made a lot of reckless decisions in the past, and my attitude towards training and competitions also caused a lot of trouble to everyone. This is my fault. I hope I can make up for my previous mistakes. All I can do is try my best. Play well for the next game and contribute to the team. I also hope that everyone can let go of their prejudices and help me get back to my form as soon as possible. Let's play well together and strive to move forward in the playoffs!"

After McGrady finished speaking, the scene was silent, and a needle could be heard.

If the "sorry" just now surprised everyone, then McGrady's next words completely refreshed everyone's perception of him.

Maddie, the prodigal son is back!

After a long while, Adelman realized.It's time to speak for yourself.

He was the first to applaud.

"Tracey, thank you for being able to say this! Everyone here is your comrade-in-arms, your brother. When everyone makes mistakes, the key is to look forward! Let's put the past aside and move forward together. Work hard!"

Ci Shiping also jumped up, and came to McGrady in three steps and two steps, and gave him a big bear hug.

"Brother, don't say anything! This is the T-MAC in my mind! This is the heart of a superstar! Whoever doesn't give you face will just make it difficult for me, Ci Shiping!"

Other team members also came over one after another, or hugged McGrady, or high-fived him.Even Brooks and Landry were no longer hostile to him, and came to punch him.

"Welcome back, McGrady!"

Yes, at this moment, McGrady has truly returned and truly integrated into the team.

Dorsey also came over and wanted to punch McGrady, but McGrady didn't reach out.

"My face still hurts from you hitting me, bastard!"

Dorsey smiled, rubbed his chest and said with a smile: "To each other, your fists are also very powerful!"

The second half begins.

The audience was pleasantly surprised to find that McGrady returned to the starting lineup.

Still, there is skepticism about how much of an impact he can make.

The TV commentator publicly questioned: "Are the Rockets planning to give up the game early?"

The Rockets attacked, and this time Brooks honestly handed the ball into McGrady's hands.

McGrady also wants to prove himself in front of the audience.

After he got the ball, he immediately attacked the basket, but Kobe followed him closely.

Even though others think that McGrady is useless, even though McGrady played really badly before, but Kobe never underestimated this opponent in his heart.As an old friend and rival who has known each other for more than ten years, he is more aware of the horror of this guy in front of him than anyone else.

McGrady broke through twice in a row, but failed to get rid of Kobe.

Injuries and long-term irregular training have reduced his physical function too much, considering his age.He may never be able to return to his peak form.

This is also the reason why many media people headed by Billing Burley have been calling for McGrady to change his style of play this morning.

McGrady can't make it through, but he still has one of his best pull-up jumpers.

I saw that McGrady made a fake move to break forward, suddenly feinted a shot, and directly pulled out.

In the past, his height and wingspan, as well as his excellent jumping ability, made him very difficult to defend against this move, which can be said to be a rare move all over the world.

But now, his height and wingspan are still there, but his bounce is greatly reduced. When he jumps up to shoot, he feels that the position of the shot is too low!

Long-term absence, so that his state is far from the best.

As soon as the ball was shot, it was blocked by Kobe with a slap!
"Wow~"

There was an uproar.

We all know that McGrady's condition is not good, but I didn't expect it to be this bad.

Brooks jumped out like a civet and grabbed the ball first.

Then passed the ball to McGrady again, "Tracey, it's okay! Take your time!"

McGrady nodded to Xiaobu, but he didn't attack hard again. Instead, he suddenly passed the ball from the bent Kobe's head to the basket. Dorsey caught the ball and scored a dunk.

Although McGrady's body is failing, his passing skills and awareness are still there.Can't score directly, but can also serve the team with passing.

Adelman's eyes lit up on the sidelines, thinking of his own plan at the beginning of the season.

In the next game, it was still difficult for McGrady to score. On the one hand, his physical condition was not good, and he was far from the best condition;

Kobe's defense against McGrady really showed 100% of his skills.He knew that McGrady was terrible, and he would never give his opponent a chance to attack.

Gradually, the audience also discovered that Tracy McGrady played very hard, fought hard for every ball, and devoted 100% of his defense. He didn't play like the original All-Star, but like a blue-collar player who was desperate for a contract.

But the attitude of his teammates towards him has not changed. They still regard him as the core of the team and keep feeding him the ball. Even if he misses 5 consecutive shots, they will still feed him the sixth one.

The TV commentator said helplessly: "It seems that the Rockets really don't intend to win this game. Their goal seems to be to help McGrady get back to his form."

In fact, it's not that the Rockets don't want to win, but that they really can't win.In this game, the Lakers played their best form since three games in the playoffs.Without Yao Ming on the inside, Ci Shiping encountered a foul crisis early, and the Rockets had no chance of winning.

Instead of fighting aimlessly, it is better to help McGrady get back to his form, so as to fight again in the future.

In the end, the Rockets defeated the Lakers 88:107 at home.

麦迪出场17分钟，得到7分4助攻2篮板3失误。

The state is not good, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that his comeback has proposed a new solution for the Rockets.
