For McGrady, I believe that domestic fans are not strangers, how many fans fell in love with the NBA because of Yao Mai, although the two were full of talent that year, but they did not win the championship, and even said that in the season of the two of them, they did not step out of the first round, the reason for this, in addition to the frequent injuries of the two, the Rockets have not been equipped with a strong blue collar at the peak of the two is also the key, Yao Mai has no crown, not only the regret in their hearts is also the regret in the hearts of a generation of fans.
The fledgling talent is full of talent, unwilling to be Carter's Pippen, leaving the Raptors
Today we will talk about Maddy's career, maddy was also a high school student into the league, in high school Maddy showed a very good talent, led Oppendale high school to play the second in the United States, this year Maddy can average 27.5 points, 8.7 rebounds and 2.8 steals per game, Maddy also won the title of the best high school student in the United States, forced to compete with idol Anfenni Hardaway, Maddy chose to enter the league as a high school student.
Barefoot height 2.04 meters, arm span 2.18 meters, vertical bounce 0.93 meters, running bounce 1.09 meters, explosive power is also top, compared to the same position and is also a high school student draft Kobe Bryant, height 1.98 meters, arm span 2.08 meters, vertical bounce 0.83 meters, Running bounce 1.04 meters, although Kobe Bryant's explosive power that year is not bad, but maddy at the peak of the league is known as the fastest first step in the league, from here it can also be seen that Maddy was completely better than Kobe Bryant in terms of talent, even jordan was very envious when he saw Maddy's talent.
This is also why Maddy was selected with the ninth pick, in that period it was difficult for high school students to become champions, considering that they were too young, and there was no training in college tactics, high picks up high school students is to scratch the lottery, fortunately the Raptors won Maddy is scratched, in the first year of his career, because the team has cousin Carter, Maddy can only be a deputy, obscene development.
Even in the case of a small position in the ball, Maddy also played a brilliant performance with talent, and he set a number of records in the rookie season: the youngest double-double player in history, 22 points in a single game was the highest single-game scoring record for the rookie in 1997, the overall season shooting rate was 45%, and the player with the highest shooting rate under the age of 21 in history, while Maddy was only 18 years old at the time, and in the second year of his career Maddy suffered from an injury that plagued his entire career - back injury.
The next year only played 49 games, this season ended hastily, in the third year of his career, Maddy began to ask the team for more ball rights, while asking for more playing time and tactical status, the Raptors also satisfied him, this year Maddy's average points per game came to 15.9 points, 6.1 points more than last season, so Maddy also won the fastest improving player award, even so Maddy is still not satisfied, he wants the position of the team boss, the result was rejected by the Raptors.
Coupled with the agent and his sports brand company wanting Maddy to return to the United States to play, Maddy eventually left Toronto for the magic where his idol played, and also put on the No. 1 jersey that he liked to pass before entering the league, Maddy had been imitating the way Anfine Hardaway played before entering the league, which is why the two are so similar. In the past few years of the Raptors, Maddy's talent has long been seen by the whole league, so after coming to the Magic, the Magic directly gave Maddy the status of boss.
After the Magic created a brilliant career, the peak was not there after joining the Rockets
Maddy, who has unlimited firing rights, began to show his dominance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, cutting 40 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, 3 wind blocks in the game against the Nets, the fifth player in history to do so, against the Wizards, a career-high 49 points, with only 18 shots, averaging 26 points per game throughout the season, another 21-year-old player in history in addition to O'Neal and Jordan (these data are all records of Maddy's period), and led the team to the playoffs. As a result, the team lost to Ray Allen's Bucks in the first round.
Next season's Maddy is still furious, scoring 50 points and 10 rebounds in a single game, the third youngest player in history to score 50+10, before him O'Neal and Marshburn did it, this year's Magic is still the first round of the playoffs. The 02-03 season was the representative year of Maddy's career, averaging 32.1 points per game to win the scoring throne, but he was also the fourth player to average more than 32.1 points per game in a single season since Jordan, Bernard King and George Gervin, and this year Maddy scored 52 points against the Bulls to set a new career high.
Magic under his leadership with the eighth record in the East to reach the playoffs, facing the Pistons known for their defense, did not expect that they could not defend Maddy at all, in Maddy's first four games averaged 36.2 points per game Magic 3-1 lead opponents are about to qualify, did not expect that Maddy in an interview after the game is also floating: "I feel that the next round has arrived", the result was heard by Big Ben, he was very annoyed that maddie hurt Maddy's waist in the game, which also made Maddy unable to play at the peak level, the Pistons pulled three games in a row to eliminate the Magic.
Consecutive years of the first round of travel also made the outside world question Maddy, although he had Hill around, but Hill also did not play a complete performance due to injury, his friend Miller was traded by the team after the start of the new season, which also made Maddy and the management inspire contradictions, this year Maddy was injured, averaging 28 points per game to win the scoring king, but the team is the league's countdown, and this time the Magic was blessed with a sign.
After learning that he got the lottery, Maddy asked the Magic to get the signature in exchange for the right veteran, the result was rejected by the Magic, the two sides have reached the point of no return, and at that time, the Rockets' leader Yao Ming has grown to a certain height, looking at the success of the OK combination in the past few years, they seized the opportunity to negotiate with the Magic, and finally Maddy came to the Rockets, and the core chip paid by the Rockets is Yao Ming's former big brother Francis.
After having a reliable partner, Maddy also played more easily, although the team did not need him to cut a lot of points alone, but as long as it was gold, he would always shine, Maddy staged a 35.13 seconds in the game against the Spurs, although this year the team lost to the Lone Ranger in the playoffs, but considering that the team's other core Yao Ming reached the playoffs for the second time in his career, inexperiencies and can be understood.
Next season Maddy stopped with injury, missing 35 games throughout the season, and the team missed the playoffs because of his injury. In the 06-07 season Maddy recovered, but his speed was completely less than before, the offense was also less effective, because of successive injuries, he lost the peak level, and in the following years, although he and Yao Ming created a 22-game winning streak, Maddy was worse and worse every year because of injuries, averaging 24 points, 21 points, 15.6 points per game, and in the 09-10 season Maddy completely lost his explosiveness and athletic ability due to injury, and the Rockets also sent him to the Knicks.
Wandering career, enjoy life after retirement
In the Knicks Maddy did not stay long, the next season joined the Pistons, and then the Eagles, in 13 years he signed with the Spurs to win the coveted championship, but finally was turned away by Ray Allen's three-pointer, at the end of this season Maddy chose to retire, a total of 126 million in his career, for Maddy, who did not have a chaotic life off the court, these are enough for him to live the next life, food and clothing.
And Maddy has always been in love, his wife is in high school to meet the girlfriend Clarenda Harris, the two now have 4 children and a happy family, after retiring Maddy often appeared in everyone's vision as a commentator, and now he is preparing a 1-on-1 bullfighting basketball tournament, I hope this game can meet with everyone as soon as possible.
