Chapter 144: Human Sophistication(1/2)
This sentence is a sentence that "Zhang Zuolin" said in a TV series "Young Marshal" in Sun Hao's previous life.
The original saying is that the world is not about fighting and killing, but about human nature.
This sentence is also very applicable in other places.
For example, martial arts world, real life, and basketball courts.
These stars who made support for his remarks were all stars who had fought with him and had a good impression of him.
Kobe is not, but Kobe is a weirdo, and his ideas are hard to understand by ordinary people.
"Howard, tell me some of the things about t-ma."
Sun Hao turned to look at Esley.
Because of Yao Ming and McGrady can be said to be the most familiar star to him.
But the McDie he knew was more of McDie in the Rockets era, and that was already the McDie who was no longer at the peak after a serious injury.
"He will be a player with more strength than Carter, but I think it's hard for him to surpass Kobe."
Ace started with this sentence.
Sun Hao was a little surprised because Esley's words were like God's prophecy.
"Just I think your future achievements will not be lower than Kobe."
However, Esley's subsequent words caught Sun Hao off guard.
"Mr. Howard, when did you learn to flatter?"
Sun Hao smiled and looked at the team's story king.
Esley just smiled faintly.
"If you want to become a historical superstar, your personality and talent are indispensable. Michael is like that, Kobe is like that, and you are like that.
Every defeat and setback makes you stronger. I didn’t see you torture yourself like Kobe, but I believe you must have paid a lot behind you.”
Sun Hao looked at Esley in surprise, and he felt that the other party was a "prophet".
Although this prophet is mature, humorous, self-deprecating, and flatters.
"But t-ma is different, he has a different personality."
After making a lot of preparation, Esley finally got to the point.
Like many black players, McGrady's childhood is not complete. His parents divorced shortly after he was born, and his father never appeared again as if he had disappeared from the world.
He was raised by his mother alone, but his mother was just a high school student at the time, and then his mother had no choice but to defect to his grandmother.
Auburndale, this is where Grandma McGrady lives and where McGrady grew up.
Here, he showed his sporting talent, whether it was the baseball he liked at the beginning or the basketball he liked later because of "penny" Hardaway.
But it is here that he showed his character, sentimentality, and liked to escape.
His third year at Auburndale High School averaged rebounds per game, but his academic performance was awful.
His choice was not to find a way to make up for his studies as shown in many sports movies, but to choose to "escape" to another high school, Montsylon Christian School.
The same thing happened again in the year he graduated from high school. He felt that he could not complete his college studies, so he did not follow his idol Hardaway, but announced his candidacy for the NBA after graduating from high school.
Then, in the Raptors, something like this happened again.
He entered the league one year before his cousin Carter, but after seeing that he was suppressed by Carter, his choice was not to strive forward to surpass Carter or escape.
He fled to Orlando, a few dozen kilometers away from Auburndale, his grandmother's house.
It was like intersections, McGrady was escaping again and again.
If it were Kobe, the path he and McGrady would choose differently every time.
Just like the Lakers where Kobe is, O'Neal is significantly stronger than Carter, but he has already started to challenge wildly in the fourth year of his career.
From this point of view, Kobe and Iverson are all the same people. They are neither afraid of challenges nor strong enemies.
It is worth mentioning that both McGrath and Iverson are Gemini people with dual personalities. Iverson is an extreme, while McGrath is another extreme.
"His talent is rare in history, so he will become a better player than Carter, just as he has always expected, but because of his personality, he can't become a person like you."
Esley finally clicked on the beginning question.
Sun Hao nodded after hearing this.
The Chinese teacher at Esley High School must like him very much.
However, Sun Hao did not know these childhood and high school stories before.
After Esley said that, he really knew McGrady more deeply.
It's okay to say that McGrady was ruined by injuries, but the injuries he suffered 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 to the Western Conference Finals with Nash.
McGrady has gained more opportunities throughout her career than Hill.
Just as Esley said, McGrady's achievements were not as good as expected, and it did have a lot to do with her personality.
"Sun, come here."
As soon as he finished chatting, Nowitzki suddenly called him over.
Sun Hao looked curious.
After saying hello to Esley, he got up and walked over, seeing Nash and Kukoc both there.
"Sun, be prepared to take more actions, we will cooperate with you tonight."
Nash spoke when he walked over.
"ha?"
Sun Hao was still lamenting about McGrady in front, and this sudden arrival caught him completely off guard.
"Let them see, you have the strength to play All-Stars."
Nowitzki said as he patted Sun Hao on the shoulder.
It was not until this moment that Sun Hao knew why Nash said that.
These brothers of his brothers are going to help him brush data!
This... seems to be nothing wrong with it.
Others say that he is not worthy of this All-Star is nothing more than just like Barkley said that his data is not enough.
If he averaged 25+ per game, Barkley would guarantee that he wouldn't even give up any farts.
But data is not only related to strength, but also to the team's status and right to take action.
To give the most intuitive example, is McGrady, whom he discussed with Esley earlier.
McGrady has been with the Raptors for three years, and her best data year was last season, averaging 15.4 points per game.
But this season, the Magic, and the average score per game soared to 26.8 points.
Has McGrady improved?
This is for sure, after all, there was a summer between them.
But if you say that his progress is as large as the data reflects, that is going to be a big deal.
To put it bluntly, if you throw Sun Hao and Old Nelson to the Warriors, his average data is 20+.
"Don't have a psychological burden, Sun."
Kukochi also said that he played the longest time and experienced the most.
"good."
Sun Hao’s answer is very simple.
Some people brush data, of course it is a good thing!
If I could get another 30+, I wouldn’t lose money no matter how I think about it!
Moreover, the Magic's opponent is not weak because of McGrady, but Grant Hill is reimbursed for the season due to injury, so his strength is not particularly strong.
This kind of opponent who is neither strong nor weak is the most suitable for data swiping.
Sure enough, his previous feelings were right.
Basketball is not about fighting, killing, it is about human nature!
That night, the match between the Mavericks and the Magic kicked off at Amway Arena.
The attendance rate of the stadium exceeded 80%.
Although this is only McGrath's first season with the Magic, as mentioned earlier, he has scored 26.8 points per game, which is a perfect future superstar.
If Hill hadn't been reimbursed for the season, the Magic would have a chance to be among the top three in the Eastern Conference this season.
After the two teams entered the scene to warm up, Sun Hao also met McGrady for the first time.
To be continued...
