McGrady wanted point guard Rafer Alston to make a withdrawal at an automatic teller machine. 火箭赛後搭飞机, Tmac盘算着要借现金. 他要RA去提款机提款. Alston politely made it clear he draws the line at doling out assists to his teammates on the court. No matter how nicely they ask. No matter how much they mean to the Rockets' general welfare. RA礼貌地表示他只在场上给他队友assists, 除此之外, 管你有多礼貌, 管你这对火箭有多少好处.(免谈) ``I don't have Les Alexander money like you do,'' Alston said. RA说, "我不像你拿Alexander那麽多钱" McGrady managed a smile, reminded yet again of how little sympathy the world has for the impossibly rich and talented. The world doesn't want to feel the pain of an All-Star guard with a bum knee and 710 games of NBA mileage. It wants to see him take his team and carry it on his shoulders, off into happily ever after. Tmac挤出一个笑容, 回想起这个世界超有钱又有才华的人是多麽不被同情. 这个世界一点也不想去感受到 在NBA打了710场全明星後卫残废膝盖 的痛苦. 人们只想看他一肩扛起球队振翅高飞. Or at least past the first round of the NBA playoffs. 至少也得通过季後赛第一轮. Alexander has the money to pay McGrady $19 million, $21 million and $23 million over the next three seasons, and he doesn't even have to break a sweat. McGrady dragged himself up and down Toyota Center on an aching left knee for nearly 30 minutes of game time on Monday afternoon. His largely panned American Idle audition over, McGrady was there to carry the mostly dead weight of his teammates in the fourth quarter of a 96-89 victory against the Seattle SuperSonics. Alexander有钱在接下来3个球季付Tmac 19m, 21m, 23m, 而他(Alex)一滴汗也不用流. 而Tmac礼拜一下午拖着疼痛的左膝在Toyota Center的比赛里来回跑动了30分钟. (American Idle在此用意为何不知, 有请高人解答) Tmac在第四节扛起队友的重荷, 以96-89击败西雅图超音速. Coming off the bench for the second consecutive game, McGrady had 17 points, six rebounds and five assists. When the Rockets were in danger of an embarrassing meltdown against a 9-32 team that has lost 11 in a row, McGrady assumed the T-Mac persona Rockets fans know, love and wish they'd see more often. Tmac连续第二场从板凳出发, 得17分6篮板5助攻. Tmac猜想, 在火箭遇到要输给9-32并且11连败球队的难堪情况时, 支持Tmac的火箭迷 知道, 喜欢也希望他们以後会多碰到这种情况. T-Mac scored nine of the Rockets' 19 points in the fourth quarter, blocking two shots for good measure. In the process, he looked uncannily like somebody who had decided the only way to send home 15,264 fans happy was to take matters into his own hands. Tmac在第四节得到全队19分里的9分, 盖了两个恰到好处的火锅过程中他像换了一个人, 超乎寻常地下定了决心, 跳出来掌握比赛, 来让主场15,264名观众高兴. ``Absolutely,'' McGrady said. ``I just felt like that's what our team was missing when I was out - me being able to create shots for guys, being able to get to the bucket. If I don't make the shot, I still bring attention to me. I just wanted to assert myself in the fourth quarter. This is a game we just had to win.'' Tmac说, "我感觉那就是我不在场上的时候球队缺少的东西－我帮队友创造机会和 自己往篮下杀的能力. 就算我没投进, 对方的注意力也会放在我身上. 第四节的时候 我只想确认自己这样的能力. 这是一场非赢不可的比赛." McGrady missed 11 games with a strained popliteus tendon, which hurts just to spell. He also has patellar tendinitis, and a bruised bone in the knee. By his guesstimate, he is at about 75 percent capacity. He said he might seek an excused absence from next month's All-Star Game. Tmac因左膝肌腱拉伤而缺席11场比赛. 光看伤势名称就知道有多严重了. 他也有膝盖骨 肌腱炎, 和膝盖骨头瘀青. 他估计他的状态是75%. 他说下个月的全明星赛他很可能告假. ``Today was really bad,'' McGrady said. ``Not only was I tight, I was also feeling pain in my knee. It's going to be that way because I can't rest to let it heal all the way up. It's something I'm just going to have to tolerate.'' "今天情况很糟. 我不仅感到紧绷, 也感到膝盖在痛. 我必须如此, 因为我无法等它 完全复原. 我只能忍着伤." On the one hand, Rockets coach Rick Adelman offered this lament: ``I don't think he's moving as well as we would certainly like.'' Adelman也为他难过, "我想他的移动不像我们所希望地那麽好." On the other hand, Adelman didn't much like what he saw down the stretch when McGrady wasn't in the game. McGrady made three field goals and three free throws in the final quarter. His teammates were 3-of-13 in those final 12 minutes. 但Adelman也对比赛最後阶段Tmac不在场的时间不甚满意. Tmac最後一节命中3球和3罚球, 其他队友总共只有3-13. ``You have to understand: Without Tracy McGrady, it takes a huge part of your game away from you in the fourth quarter when things get tough,'' Adelman said. ``The defense gets tougher, more aggressive. The officials are going to let more go. You have to have people who can make plays. Guys are not used to making plays down the stretch. Adelman, "你要知道, Tmac不在, 你就少了很重要的一部分来面对第四节较艰辛的比赛. 第四节的防守会更硬, 更有侵略性, 裁判尺度会更松. 你一定要有能自己制造机会的人. 其他球员在最後阶段并不习惯自己打." ``Even having him out there today when he wasn't moving very good made a huge difference. You can't underestimate that.'' "就算今天他还不能活动自如, 但只是把他放在场上也足以让情势整个不一样. 你不能小看这点." Yao Ming was the player of the game, scoring 30 points and corralling 17 rebounds. T-Mac was the playmaker when the game hung in the balance. Midway in the fourth quarter, with the Rockets leading by six, Luke Ridnour stole the ball from McGrady and took off for a layup. McGrady ran down Ridnour and swatted the shot out of bounds. A half-minute later, McGrady dropped in a lefthanded layup to give the Rockets an 83-75 lead. 姚明是这场比赛最佳球员, 得30分抓17篮板. Tmac则是在战况胶着时掌控局面的球员. 第四节中断, 火箭6分领先, Ridnour抄走Tmac的球并飞身上篮. Tmac急追接近Ridnour, 把那球轰出场外. 之後不到一分钟, Tmac左手上篮使火箭83-75领先. A McGrady drive and dish led to a 22-foot jumper by Bonzi Wells that gave the Rockets a 10-point cushion. Adelman tried to give McGrady a rest with the Rockets leading 85-77. When the Sonics cut the lead to 85-81, Adelman rushed McGrady back into the game. 之後又是一个Tmac式切传给Bonzi, 让火箭拉到10分的安全距离. Adelman在85-77的时候 想让Tmac休息一下. 但当超音速把落後缩小到85-81 Adelman只好赶紧把Tmac换上. T-Mac hit a turnaround jumper over Kevin Durant just 13 seconds later, steadying the Rockets again. On top of making three free throws in the final minute, McGrady blocked a put-back attempt by Sonics center Kurt Thomas. 13秒後Tmac在Durant面前转身跳投中的, 把火箭稳下来. 在赏给KT篮下补篮火锅以後, 又投进3个罚球. ``Being in this league 11 years, when you're out on the basketball court, you've got to play,'' McGrady said. ``Nobody is going to feel sorry for you while you're out there, and I understand that. If I'm out there, I've got to compete with my teammates, and I've got to help them win.'' Tmac, "在联盟待了11年的人, 上了场就是要打球. 你在场下时没人会为你感到难过, 我了解这点. 只要我在场上, 我就要和队友并肩奋战, 且必须帮他们获胜." The world doesn't want to hear about the $19 million shooting guard's pains. It only wants to see him leap tall defenders in a single bound. A few lockers down from McGrady, Rockets forward Shane Battier shrugged. 这个世界不想听到这位19m的得分後卫有多疼痛, 而只想看到他飞过他面前高大的防守者. 离Tmac置物柜不远的Battier耸耸肩. ``If a guy steps on the court,'' Battier said, ``he's there to play.'' Battier, "只要一个人上了场, 他就是要打球" [email protected] --
