The 2007-08 season is the first 1 1 season of Rockets all-star McGrady in the NBA. Before that, the superstar played for three different teams, Toronto Raptors, Orlando Magic and now Houston Rockets. Eleven years' course has written a trilogy of McGrady's career.
1997 On the last day of June 10, the Toronto Raptors challenged the Miami Heat away. This is McGrady's first foray into the NBA. The Raptors coach only gave the rookie six minutes to play, but he still sat on the bench. In this game, McGrady didn't score a point, only picked up a rebound and made an unintentional mistake. On February 13 this season, the Raptors challenged the Nets away. The Raptors had only seven players, who were full of injuries and were able to play, so McGrady on the bench got a chance. In 37 minutes 16, he made 7 shots and got the highest 10 free throw, 8 hits, 22 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks, ranking first in the team. Despite this, McGrady did not get more performance opportunities in the new season. The technical statistics of averaging 7 points, 4.2 rebounds 1.5 assists can only be described as shabby.
The following season, McGrady played only two of 49 games. His cousin Carter quickly became the leader of the Raptors with a breakthrough dunk. At the same time, McGrady put more energy into defense and contributed to the team's victory with behind-the-scenes work. This year, McGrady's technical statistics are 9.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists. The whole year 120 offensive rebounds were the first in the team, and 66 blocked shots were the second in the team. If 1998-99 is still a behind-the-scenes worker, then 1999-2000 is the basis for him to become a first-class star in the league. This season has enabled McGrady to complete the first transformation of his career. McGrady and Carter are both top scorers in the NBA, and their prospects in the NBA seem limitless. But at that time, the management of the Raptors refused to introduce experienced big-name stars, and these two cousins who had just set foot in the NBA could not save the Raptors. In addition, the team can only have one core, and McGrady, whose skills are soaring, doesn't want to live in the shadow of his cousin. After the rookie contract expired in the summer of 2000, he resolutely switched to magic.
With McGrady going all out, Orlando has once again become the focus of NBA attention. In the first season of Magic, McGrady started 77 games in 77 games, averaging 26.8 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.6 assists. He was selected as the "second best team" in the NBA. The most unforgettable scene is February 23, 2002, when the Magic played against the 76ers at home. All the magic can win the game for a simple reason. McGrady's 22 points, 1 1 rebounds, 1 1 assists have revitalized the team, which is the first triple-double data of McGrady's career.
A year ago, McGrady could raise his single-game record to 50 points. A year later, McGrady simply took the "scoring champion" trophy home. The 2002-03 season is not an ordinary season for McGrady. This season, McGrady played 75 games, of which 70 games scored more than 20 points, 52 games scored more than 30 points,1/kloc-0 scored more than 40 points, while 5/kloc-0 scored more than 30 points, and single season 165438+. On February 23, 2003, McGrady beat the Nets with 46 points 13 assists 10 rebounds, which was only the second triple-double in McGrady's career. McGrady's score in 2047 is also a brand-new milestone for Magic, creating a team's single-season scoring record. At the same time, McGrady also set an NBA record for more than 25 years: the youngest player who scored more than 30 points in a single season!
The last season of Magic can be called a year in which McGrady fought alone, which also means that the fate between McGrady and Magic has come to an end. The losing streak of 19 at the beginning of the game made McGrady disheartened, and his teammates couldn't give him enough support, all of which made McGrady shudder to win the title of "scoring king" again. Despite this, McGrady never gave up all season. On the contrary, the instinct of a professional player has always supported his belief. March 2004 10, in the contest with the wizards, McGrady scored 62 points 10, rebounds and 5 assists, leading the Magic to defend Orlando with a lead of 9 points.
In the summer of 2004, McGrady came to the Rockets from Orlando and came to Yao Ming (Yao Ming, Yao Ming News). It is precisely because of this season that more fans deeply remember him. When everyone looked at him with suspicion, McGrady performed miraculously in 35 seconds 13 minutes against the Spurs, and showed his absolute leadership temperament to the world with firm belief and steady play in the series against the Mavericks in the playoffs. After the chaotic 2005-06 season, McGrady found his own state again. Especially in the absence of Yao Ming, Rocket No.1 re-assumed the scoring responsibility of the team. Although he didn't win the scoring title three times and didn't lead the team into the second round of the playoffs, he sent a career-high 6.5 assists and was selected for the second team in the regular season. Now that Rocket 1 has suffered another injury, McGrady's former ambition for hegemony has quietly receded, and the expression of clenched fists and growling has been replaced by a sleepy expression.
I hope I can help you. Don't forget to give points if you feel better! I thank you! I am also a big fan of McGrady!
