Speaking of Maddy, the 2004 Rockets can be said to have picked up a big bargain and got the very talented Maddie at that time, Yao Ming was slowly rising in the Rockets at that time, and the team is expected to train him as the next legendary center like Olajuwon, at this time, the interior has gained a huge guarantee, and the strength of the outside line is in urgent need of reinforcement, so far the Rockets and the Orlando Magic have made a big deal, let's take a look.
When he first entered the league, he was squeezed out of the starting team by Carter
The first entry into the league was in 1997 when the Raptors selected the talented Maddie with the 9th pick in the first round, the league selection criteria at that time were physical fitness and defensive ability, as a high school league Maddie was not favored by scouts, plus the management draft itself was biased and doubted his ceiling, but in this way, Maddy has played the starting line in the second half of his rookie season, and at the end of the regular season, Maddy cut 14 points, 13 rebounds, 16 points, 9 rebounds, 12 points, 5 rebounds, 20 points, 7 rebounds and other dazzling data, especially at the beginning of the bench stage of unstable time and then with an average of 35 minutes per game to sit in the start, but with the arrival of Carter's cousin squeezed out Maddy's starter, the Raptors also intended to train Carter to develop the market for Toronto, thinking that the cousin would achieve great things like Jordan Pippen, but who thought that the management did not take Maddie as a Pippen to train Maddie not long after Maddie was traded to the Orlando Magic, and since then, the two brothers have their own masters, and Maddie has ushered in a transformation in the Magic.
Orlando evolved into a super scorer
After leaving his cousin, Maddie seems to have unlocked a variety of Jordan skill sets, shooting, breaking through, pulling, pulling, jumping, and three-point shooting are all Maddie's evolutionary scoring methods, which are very national, and the story of the four percentiles of West Branch, North Carolina, East Ainam, and Mai began!02-03 In the 02-03 season, Maddie averaged 32.1 points per game in the Magic, becoming the fourth player to score more than 32 points in a single season, thus gaining a large number of fans. In the playoffs for three consecutive years in 01-03, Maddie became the second player to do it after Jordan, the god of basketball, in the playoffs for three consecutive years, and became the second player to do it after Jordan, the god of basketball, may be from the Raptors to be traded to the Magic's dissatisfaction, in the third game of the Magic, Maddy exploded 33 points, 6.5 rebounds, 8.3 assists of all-round performance, 02-03 season, in a game only 33 minutes to hit 52 points to become the season scoring champion, but also for the future NBA career played an important role, with the Magic's popularity and strength increasing, on the other hand, the team's record is indeed the bottom of the league, and the management has to doubt Maddy's ability to lead the team, and then the Magic took Howard with the top pick, and then began to rebuild!
The Rockets get a big bargain and the limit three for one gets Maddie
To say that the real contradiction between Maddie and the Magic lies in his good brother Mike Miller, when Maddie came to the Magic, Miller also happened to be selected by the Magic to come to the Magic, and the two established a deep friendship, because the death of Maddie's family had a big blow to him, and Maddie is also a player who values feelings and righteousness, and the management traded Miller, and then Maddie was furious and completely tied up with the management, the NBA is also a commercial league, and then Maddie was also traded to the Rockets, and the Magic put Maddie on the price, and there are many teams that are interested, including the Lakers, Suns, and Rockets, but the Rockets speed to solve the battle with All-Star point guards Francesco and Catino Mobley and Kevin Cato three players packaged and traded to the Magic in the end, the Rockets had the last laugh, it seemed that one for three, but in fact, the Rockets did pick up a big bargain.
Maddie has a historic level of offensive comprehensiveness, at that time the Rockets and the inside gate Yao Ming can be described as an inside and an outside, with the strong firepower of the outside line can launch an impact towards the championship, so far, Yao Mai combination has completely started the West, and after a few seasons, it once played a crazy 22 consecutive wins! Maddie also left a touching "35 seconds 13 minutes" The feat led the team to a life-and-death reversal, and the Rockets also introduced European interior footmaster Scola and defensive titan Artest, and the good times did not last long, as the season deepened, Maddy's negative training attitude and injury-ridden problems began to show, and the Yao Mai combination was almost invincible in the regular season.
However, once it came to the playoffs, especially the inability to break through the curse of the first round of the playoffs, which also planted the seeds for the later departure of the team, it is worth mentioning that Francis was completely reduced to a marginal figure not long after leaving the Rockets, because he was eliminated from the league by carrying guns and drugs in the locker room many times, and Catino Mobley was traded to the Kings after only 23 games played by the Magic, and averaged 17.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game in the 04-05 season, and then was traded to the Clippers, and at the age of 32, he was diagnosed with a heart attack, which also made him have to end his basketball career earlyKevin Cato, on the other hand, is a supporting player, averaging 5.5 points and 5.3 rebounds per game throughout his NBA career, he is a good blue-collar player, and only 45 appearances in the next two years, and finally retired in 2007.
