In yet another victory in Joe Dumar's* battle to recreate all-star teams from the early aughts, he has signed none other than Tracy McGrady to a one year deal at the veteran's minimum. This signing is intriguing, largely because the (modest) median expectation is not the likely result. Here's what we know about T-Mac. -In 2003, at the age of 23, he was the best player in basketball. That year, he led the league in scoring, player efficiency rating, and wp48. -He has failed to even approach this level of effectiveness in the years since. His propensity to shoot high volumes of three pointers, and relative ineptitude at same, conspired to limit his effectiveness. -A combination of nebulous back injuries and diva issues conspired to limit his participation in the last two seasons to only 65 games. -There is no precedent for a player who was once the best in basketball being washed up by the age of 31. -After joining the Rockets, McGrady actually became a strong defender. Since the 2004-05 season, McGrady has more defensive win shares (18.5) than offensive (14.9). 对於T-Mac，我们知道他在23岁时就已经成为联盟中的翘楚，勇夺得分王。 然而在之後，麦格瑞迪的进攻效率就开始逐渐下滑。不过加盟火箭之後， 麦格瑞迪防守端的表现还是可圈可点。只是过去两个球季，由於伤病的困扰， 他只打了65场比赛。 From this, what can we project for this season? I mentioned that there is no precedent for a player going from the top of the league to washout, but one player came close. Connie Hawkins was a versatile scorer, whose career was delayed by his (unjust) implication in a point shaving scandal. Upon arriving in the ABA at 25, after a stint with the Harlem Globetrotters, he immediately dominated, posting a player efficiency rating of 28.8 despite his relative weakness as a shooter. By the time he arrived in Los Angeles at the age of 31, The Hawk was a shell of his former self (though he was still being voted into all-star games every year), having been limited by knee ailments. He proved that he had something left in the tank, playing 35 mpg, becoming more of a playmaker on offense while still grabbing rebounds and improving his efficiency. He was above average at both ends of the court, posting a PER of 15.5 and a .128 wp48. 名人堂成员霍金斯(Connie Hawkins)也曾遭遇麦格瑞迪今天的窘境， 当31岁的他加盟洛杉矶湖人时，由於已经受到膝伤的折磨， 前景并不为人所看好。然而，霍金斯证明自己老而弥坚，场均出战35分钟， 在球队多扮演进攻组织者的角色，防守抢篮板方面同样不示弱。 If T-Mac puts up those kinds of numbers, he'll win most improved player, and it certainly isn't outside of the realm of possibly for him to improve upon them. Heck, if he is able to give Detroit 60 games at 20 mpg at his production from two years ago, he will have added two wins to the total. There are a few key obstacles that should temper our expectations 如果麦格瑞迪能够打出霍金斯当年的高效率，帮助活塞获得更多胜利， 他甚至能冲击联盟最佳进步奖。不过这也只是期望而已，T-Mac在活塞 也面临一些困境。 The first is the alleged logjam on the wings. I say alleged because not one wing player managed to play even average basketball, much less stay healthy long enough to do so. A bunch of so-so, hobbled players does not a logjam make. Nonetheless, unless coach Kuester is willing to get creative in order to get more wins out of this ball club, McGrady will likely have to settle for 15-20 mpg even if he's outperforming the starting five. 首先，除非主帅库斯特(John Kuester)愿意为了更多的胜利 而打破活塞已定的战术套路，否则麦格瑞迪即便是表现胜过先发球员， 每场大概有只有15到20分钟左右的时间。 The second is his diva complex. Let's face it, every superstar becomes a diva. The problem is that T-Mac hasn't had the output to match. He bristled at the suggestion of earning back his role in Houston after being racked by injuries. Speaking of which... 其次是麦格瑞迪自己的心态。每个超级巨星都希望成为球场的主角。 问题在於目前的麦格瑞迪还没有打出符合这一身份的表现。 所以他究竟是否真的心甘情愿担任替补还有待观望。 About those injuries. Now, back spasms are painful. They take you out of action for at least a week, if not a month. You cannot play through back spasms any more than you can play through an aardvark chewing on your testicles. But they do go away, and, with proper conditioning, can be made to disappear. They didn't disappear, and now McGrady is coming off major knee surgery. 最後就是伤病。背伤依旧是麦格瑞迪的一大隐患，并且他还经历过膝盖手术。 Theoretically, McGrady is auditioning for a major contract, but if he was contemplating retirement weeks ago, will he be able to keep his focus long enough to secure that long-term deal? Oh, and he'll still want to jack up three pointers. On the flip side... The team can't possibly be wedded to the notion that a Hamilton-Prince-Gordon ensemble is going to win basketball games. Otherwise, why even bother with T-Mac? McGrady can plug in easily at the two or the three, and can defend both positions quite well. Plus, if he begins to play well, and the Pistons aren't, the pressure to give him more minutes will be overwhelming. Again, lottery teams don't have logjams. They have holes. Diva issues aside, McGrady is, by all accounts, a pretty good guy. He isn't a head case or a drug addict. He is also in a position where, suddenly, the money, the fame, the accolades, and the attention are gone. Chicago didn't work out. Heck, the Clippers didn't work out. Even a few months ago, he was talking about being a sought after free agent. Superstars might be divas, but they also have egos, and always have something to prove. 但是不可否认，麦格瑞迪依旧具备一定的进攻能力，防守也很不错。 如果新球季他有出色的表现，而活塞战绩不佳，那麽压力在活塞一方， 外界会要求麦格瑞迪打更长的时间。抛开是否甘愿当替补不谈， 麦格瑞迪还是个非常好的球员，他不会在场外惹是生非。 If he can get to the line and play defense, he has the chance to turn around his career. Detroit should give him every opportunity to do so. If nothing else, having an aging superstar whose legacy is on the line gives us fans something to be excited about. It's like a movie, but at matinee pricing. Will this be an inspirational Dreamworks movie about talking dragons, or a gritty indie drama about meth tweakers? Will it be Hoosiers or Hoop Dreams? The Natural or Sugar? Connie Hawkins or an Allen Iverson? 麦格瑞迪还有机会扭转自己的职业生涯，活塞应该尽可能给他机会。 究竟是霍金斯，还是艾佛森(Allen Iverson)？新球季的麦格瑞迪 会证明给大家看。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 这篇算是谨慎中带乐观的 不过抱持悲观看法的球评当然也有 比方说BleacherReport的Elliott Pohnl 他甚至举出了10个不看好T-Mac与活塞会合作愉快的理由 http://tinyurl.com/25pkzh3 http://www.nba.com.tw/news/article/2010-08-11/45240/45283 -- 每周好片推荐 1.哭泣的蓝衫 The Crying Jersies上映时间:2010-06-18 法国闹剧级大师"多明尼克"息影之前最後力作 故事描述一位一事无成的国家队教练,在世界杯上不仅无法控制球员 让球员们在场上就像游魂般毫无生气,也让所有球迷,甚至总统彻底伤心 --
