ot of times I'm standing there watching and, all of a sudden, the other team's getting the ball and going on a fast break (快攻
), and I'm getting yelled at by the coach." Indeed, McGrady's body control, his energy, his shooting - watching these is like watching an artist at work, blending colors, constructing sentences, or playing music.3.
Unfortunately, McGrady, 27, hasn't always been on the job. Already this season, he's missed seven games with back spasms (痉挛
) After Yao Ming was injured on Dec. 23, it appeared Houston would be without both of its stars. McGrady, however, returned three days later and has been playing well ever since, scoring more than 30 points in each of the last six games, as of Tuesday. Houston can't seem to get on without him. When McGrady was injured, the Rockets won two and lost five4.
"Listen, there are only four or five people on the entire planet that can do the things he can do with the basketball," forward Shane Battier said of McGrady. "From a fan's perspective - and we're fans even though we're players - it's really fun to watch him do that. From a player's perspective, his game (风格
) can affect the entire team. No question We see him, and we get excited, and that pumps us up. He keeps making shots, and suddenly it seems to become easier for everybody."5.
But it won't, really. Houston has just begun a tough time. Four of the next seven games will be played away from Houston. Six of the games will be against teams with winning records. Opponents will double-team (双人看守
) McGrady in an attempt to dull the impact of his art. Instead of watching, McGrady's teammates will need to create a little art of their own.
