Bill Simmons写Tracy McGrady
里面有些部分小弟认为写得很好
尤其是访问Jeff Van Gundy跟Roc Rivers两位曾直接带领他的教练
论数据McGrady的数字绝对是名人堂等级的
但美式运动常常强调队上的最佳球员应该同时要担任领导者
McGrady从来不是天生的领导者
他也不像Dwight一样不是天生的领导者却想当老大
McGrady在休士顿的头三年Jeff Van Gundy是球队的老大
Daryl Morey开除Van Gundy后 雇用了新的教练Rick Adelman
Adelman上任时希望McGrady能当队上老大
McGrady却连试都不想试 因为这样很难做他自己
那22连胜时谁是队上老大勒?
"Probably Chuck Hayes" Daryl said
再节录一段
"Your best player has to set the tone, without question," Van Gundy explains.
"If he doesn't do that, then it has to be the head coach. But it's better if
the player has it. Tracy was never a leader, but he was a helluva basketball
player. If you coached him or coached against him, you would have a much
different view. McGrady made people better — he was a great, great passer.
Wasn't a great shooter, but he was a great scorer, could guard, pass, was
smart, rebounded. He could do everything. I mean, even Bryant came out and
said some nice things … it's not like Kobe Bryant goes out and blows smoke
up people's ass."
Van Gundy希望大家别过度使用季后赛是否成功来评断一个球员的成就
最好的例子是2007的Kevin Garnett(32胜)跟2008的Kevin Garnett(82胜 包括季后赛)
基本上是同一个球员 由此可见成功跟失败之间的差别是很小的
"Easy to coach," Van Gundy gushes about McGrady. "Smart as hell. Not the
greatest practice player of course. He understood he had to give X amount of
level in practice to avoid confrontation with the coach, and that's what he
did. But he was totally unselfish in the way he played the game. TOTALLY
unselfish. I was there every night. Was I looking forward to coaching him in
the second game of a back-to-back against a bad team? No, not gonna happen.
But if you put him against a great team? He always showed up. Look at his
playoff numbers versus his regular-season numbers. How many guys had better
playoff numbers? Seriously, how many?"
再来是Doc的话
Rivers realizes now how difficult everything was for McGrady, especially when
it became more and more clear that Hill was never coming back. "Tracy wasn't
a leader at all," Doc says, "and unfortunately for him, he had to be. He was
too young and suddenly it's like, 'This is your franchise.' That's a lot to
ask. And we were always in a holding pattern because of Grant. We never knew
when he was coming back."
我们花了近10年的时间在说Kobe是不是对队友太严厉了,是不是太常责骂他的队友,Kobe的
超强好胜心是不是有时候反而成为他的绊脚石时,McGrady则是个完全不同的球员,他的队友
可以跟他玩在一起,但队友们不会为了他而上战场,他的队友们不会有"我不能让这个人失望
"的感觉
