Chapter 144: Worldly

This sentence is what "Zhang Zuolin" said in the TV series "Young Marshal" in Sun Hao's previous life.
The original saying is that the rivers and lakes are not fighting and killing, but human beings.
This sentence is also very applicable in other places.
Such as martial arts arena, such as real life, but also a basketball court.
Those who expressed support for him were all stars who had played against him and had a good impression of him.
Kobe is not, but Kobe is a weird person, his ideas are generally incomprehensible.
"Howard, tell me something about T-mac."
Sun Hao turned to look at Eisley.
Because of Yao Ming, McGrady is arguably the most familiar star to him.
But the McGrady he knows is more of McGrady in the Rockets era, who is no longer at the peak after a major injury.
"He will become a more powerful player than Carter, but I think it is difficult for him to surpass Kobe."
Ace used this sentence to get started.
Sun Hao was a little surprised, because what Esley said was like a divine prophecy.
"Just like I think your future achievements will not be lower than Kobe."
But Esley's subsequent words caught Sun Hao off guard.
"Mr. Howard, when did you learn to flatter?"
Sun Hao smiled and looked at the story king of the team.
Esley just smiled slightly.
"To become a historical superstar, character and talent are indispensable. Michael is like that, Kobe is like that, so are you.
Every defeat and setback makes you stronger. I didn't see you torturing yourself like Kobe, but I believe you must have paid a lot behind it. "
Sun Hao looked at Esley in surprise, he felt that the other party was a "prophet".
Although this prophet was mature, humorous, and self-defeating, he would flatter.
"But T-mac is different, he is another character."
After making enough preparations, Esley finally got to the point.
McGrady, like many black players, had an incomplete childhood. His parents divorced not long after he was born. After the divorce, his father never appeared again as if the world had evaporated.
He was raised by his mother alone, but his mother was just a high school student, and then his mother had to rely on his grandmother.
Auburndale, this is where McGrady's grandmother lives and where McGrady grew up.
Here, he showed his athletic talent. Whether it was baseball, which he liked at the beginning, or basketball, which he liked because of "Penny" Hardaway, his talent was unparalleled.
But it is here that he shows his character, sentimentality, and likes to escape.
In his third year at Auburndale High School, he averaged 23 points and 12 rebounds per game, but his academics were a mess.
His choice was not to try to make up for his studies as shown in many sports movies, but to "escape" to another high school, Montesaone Christian School.
The same thing happened again in the year he graduated from high school. He felt that he could not complete his university studies, so he did not follow his idol Hardaway anymore, but directly announced his candidacy for the NBA after graduating from high school.
Then, with the Raptors, this happened again.
Obviously he entered the league a year earlier than his cousin Carter, but after seeing that he had been suppressed by Carter, his choice was not to surpass Carter, but to escape.
He fled to Orlando, a place only tens of kilometers away from Auburndale and his grandmother's home.
It was like a crossroads, McGrady was evading again and again.
If it were Kobe, he and McGrady would choose a different route every time.
Just like Kobe's Lakers team, O'Neal is significantly stronger than Carter, but in the fourth year of his career, he has already begun to challenge frantically.
From this point of view, Kobe and Iverson are the same people, they are not afraid of challenges, nor are they afraid of powerful enemies.
It is worth mentioning that McGrady and Iverson are both Geminis. Geminis have dual personalities. Iverson is one extreme, and McGrady is another extreme.
"His talent history is rare, so he will become a better player than Carter, as he has always expected, but because of his character, he can't be your kind."
Esley finally clicked the opening question again.
Sun Hao nodded after listening.
The Chinese teacher at Eisley High School must like him very much.
However, Sun Hao did not know these childhood and high school stories before.
After Esley finished speaking, he really knew McGrady better.
It's fine to say that McGrady was destroyed by injuries, but his injuries are much better than his current partner Grant Hill in the Magic.
But Hill also went to the Suns at the end of his career and played with Nash to the Western Conference Finals.
McGrady has had more opportunities than Hill in his entire career.
As Esley said, McGrady's achievement is not as expected, and it does have a lot to do with his personality.
"Sun, come here."
Just after talking, Nowitzki suddenly called him over.
Sun Hao looked curious.
Saying hello to Esley, he got up and walked over and saw that Nash and Kukoc were also there.
"Sun, you are ready to make more moves, we will cooperate with you at night."
When he walked over, Nash said.
"what?"
Sun Hao was still sighing with McGrady in front of him, and this sudden onset caught him completely off guard.
"Let them see, you are fully capable of playing All-Stars."
Nowitzki said, tapping Sun Hao on the shoulder.
Only now did Sun Hao know why Nash said that.
These brothers of his are going to help him brush his data!
This... doesn't seem to be a problem either.
Others say that he is not worthy of this All-Star starter, but just like Barkley said, his data is not enough.
If he is averaging 25+ per game, Barkley promises not to fart.
But the data is not only related to strength, but also related to team status and shot power.
The most intuitive example is the McGrady he discussed with Esley earlier.
McGrady spent three years with the Raptors. The best year was last season, averaging, but this season to the Magic, the average scoring directly soared to 26.8 points.
Has McGrady improved?
That's for sure, after all, there was a summer in between.
But if you want to say that his progress is as big as the data shows, that's a joke.
To put it bluntly, if you throw Sun Hao and old Nelson to the Warriors together, his average per game is also 20+.
"Don't have a psychological burden, Sun."
Kukoc also said that he played the longest time and experienced the most.
"it is good."
Sun Hao's answer is simple.
Some refreshing data is of course a good thing!
If you can get another 30+, you won't lose any thoughts!
And because of the Magic's opponent, because of McGrady, the strength is not weak, but Grant Hill is reimbursed by the injury season, and the strength is not particularly strong.
This kind of opponent who is not strong or weak is the most suitable for brushing data.
Sure enough, the emotion in front of him was right.
Basketball is not about playing and killing, it is about humanity and sophistication!
That night, the Mavericks and Magic team kicked off at Amway Arena.
The arena's attendance rate exceeds 80%.
Although this is only the first season that Tracy McGrady has joined the Magic, as mentioned earlier, his scoring average is already a proper future superstar.
If it weren't for Hill's reimbursement this season, the Magic would have a chance to rank among the top three in the Eastern Conference.
After the two teams entered the scene to warm up, Sun Hao also saw McGrady for the first time.
The slender legs that many girls admire, the almost perfect body proportions, the slender arms, the handsome appearance, and the drowsy eyes.
McGrady, compared with the future, except for a little thinner, there is really no change.
When warming up before the game, McGrady was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines.
He looks youthful in the lens.
If he wanted to, it was definitely a girl harvester.
The reporter asked questions related to the game at first.
But in the end, Sun Hao was asked about becoming the first-round ticket king.
However, his views are different from those of Carter, Ray Allen, and Kobe.
"The All-Star Game is scored by strength. If you don't have that strength, you can only sit on the bench."
McGrady's attitude is unique among the stars.
But after you look closely, you will find that his words happen to be opposite Carter.
Carter said that if the fans choose you, you should be there, and he said that even if you go there, you will still sit on the bench without the strength.
Fighting against his cousin is McGrady's biggest ambition at this time.
After the warm-up, the scene entered the opening ceremony.
When McGrady was the last to play, the cheers on the scene were deafening.
After only two dozen games, McGrady has gained unparalleled popularity here.
After the opening ceremony, the two teams started one after another.
On the Magic side, Darrell Armstrong and Tracy McGrady are on the outside, Mike Miller and Bo Outlaw are on the front, and Andrew De Klerk is the center.
The Mavericks are still Nash, Sun Hao, Finley, Nowitzki and Lightner.
With a whistle from the sidelines, De Klerk dialed the ball back to the Magic half, officially kicking off the game.
After Armstrong pushed the ball to the frontcourt, he immediately gave the ball to McGrady.
At this time, McGrady hasn't gained weight yet, playing the position of shooting guard.
Finley is defending him.
Finley's height is 2.01 meters, and he is also playing a swingman. The two are right on top.
In the first round after McGrady held the ball, he chose to break through.
Finley felt a swish, and McGrady had disappeared from his eyes.
This first step is simply outrageous.
At the time when Sun Hao was in, ESPN once did a survey on whose first step in the NBA was the fastest.
The answers of the fans are different, some Iverson, Wade, and Rose and McGrady.
But when the subjects of this survey became players, the answers were surprisingly consistent.
McGrady, in the eyes of his opponents, is the one who made the first step fastest.
Because he is tall, because his calves are slender and explosive, because he is fast.
Finley turned around, McGrady had already penetrated into the post, Lightner was stuck by De Klerk, and Nowitzki was too late to help.
"Boom!"
In the explosive cheers of the fans, McGrady came up to show off a one-handed buckle.
Sure enough, Esley said that people who can beat Carter by talent, that talent is really not ordinary.
After dunking, McGrady opened his sleepy eyes and glanced at Finley coldly.
His character is sentimental and he likes to escape, but his character is not compatible with the so-called mildness and weakness.
Especially in the early part of his career, he was half a stab, kicking, hitting people with the ball, and reaching out for headshots.
And from the look in his eyes, maybe because the number of All-Star votes is not enough, he also wants to score a high score tonight.
Finley is going to be a little uncomfortable tonight.
Looking back, the Mavericks played half-court offense.
Sun Hao then tactically moved, and the Mavericks players were picking and rolling back and forth for him.
Sun Hao finally got a chance after the Nowitzki pick and roll, and Nash's pass also followed the wind.
Sun Hao catches the ball and makes a shot.
"when!"
Mamba rounded the ears last night, and the volute was attached tonight.
Sun Hao's first shot was an iron strike.
The ball popped, Nowitzki flew up and grabbed an offensive rebound.
The inside height of the Magic is short.
De Klerk is only 2.08 meters tall, and Outlaw is only 2.03 meters tall.
This lineup is very flexible, but it really suffers from rebounding in position.
The Magic immediately contracted the defense, and they knew Nowitzki's lethality.
What they didn't expect at all was that Sun Hao didn't even look at the frame. He threw the ball to Sun Hao the first time.
Sun Hao took a three-pointer after receiving the ball.
"Uh!"
This time he got rid of the Mamba defense and made a three-pointer into the net.
The first 3 points, get it!
McGrady continued to take the ball in the frontcourt, this time he directly staged a one-handed ball.
Finley stepped back a bit instinctively.
But at this moment's time, McGrady went straight to the point.
"Uh!"
The basketball was wiping the net and pocketing it.
He hit the opening two consecutive rounds!
Not only does he score strong, but he also feels good!
There was a hint of helplessness in Finley's eyes.
This young man who is 6 years younger than himself is really hard to guard against.
If you get closer, that lightning-fast first step is too late to retreat.
If you step back, the shot that jumped from the ground in an instant can't interfere at all.
When he feels good, you can only pray to God.
The Mavericks continued to play tactics in the frontcourt, and Sun Hao continued to bypass the pick and roll.
Nash was the first pass.
Sun Hao's shot was very straightforward, but unfortunately he was a little bit lucky, and he bounced out again after entering.
De Klerk protected the defensive rebound.
With a wave of tactics in the Magic team's frontcourt, McGrady also ran without the ball.
His movements after catching the ball are extremely elegant, but it is a pity that the basketball hit the frame.
Nowitzki received a defensive rebound ~EbookFREE.me~ The Mavericks directly pushed the defensive counterattack.
Nash rushed to the frontcourt with the ball and already had a direct chance to score.
But he didn't go, but waited until Sun Hao quickly attacked, and handed in a close hand.
After receiving the ball, Sun Hao jumped and pressed the ball into the basket with both hands.
"Boom!"
Sun Hao, contributed the second time in his career!
5 to 4!
Sun Hao, got all 5 points after the Mavericks started!
At this time, the old Nelson on the bench sat upright.
He smelled something different from the team tonight.
ps: The editor-in-chief of the day after tomorrow, big investors with investment can have a wave of gains.
