Average of 34+7+8! It s really amazing, but I only played 11 games in three years! Can he really hit Kobe?

Fans who are a little older probably remember a legend: When CCTV Sports was broadcasting NBA games on live broadcasts, they called on fans to send text messages to choose the team they support. Almost no matter which team the Rockets meet, the support rate will be on September 1st - the only one who can pull the support rate to 55th is the Lakers.

The Rockets are the home team of Chinese fans because of Yao Ming; the Lakers have the popularity of Kobe Kobe, the NBA that year.

McDy, who has a close relationship with both of them, recently said that he "back-stinged" his two old friends.

When participating in the American Yang Yi program "First Take", McGrady said: "If someone is removed from a championship-level team, such as changing Kobe to me, and O'Neal and I partnered with him, can't I lead the Lakers to win the championship? It's just that I have never had this opportunity."

Only looking at personal offense, it's not unreasonable for McGrady to think that he can compete with Kobe in the three consecutive championships. In fact, Kobe and McGrady were also a pair of old enemies that the league focused on building.

Look at the data: During the three consecutive championships of the Lakers, McGrady averaged 17+7+3, 34+7+8, and 31+6+6 respectively in the playoffs for three consecutive years. In the last two years, McGrady is not afraid of the data, let alone Kobe, no matter which historical super giant is compared with.

But the key is that the sample size of these three data of McGrady is too small. In the past three years, McGrady has only played 11 playoff games in total.

Even if he breaks out of the restrictions of these three years, looking at his career, no one can answer this question: What level can McGrady play in more than a dozen or even more than twenty games in the playoffs in a year?

Moreover, basketball is never an addition or subtraction. It makes no sense to subtract Kobe's data and add McGrady's data.

The Lakers won three consecutive championships, and O'Neal was the thigh, which was undoubtedly, but even so, Kobe had already shown his ability to fight hard at that time.

In the 2000 Finals G4, after O'Neal was sent off, Kobe scored 8 points in 5 overtime in 4 overtime, leading the team to win the game;

Before that, O'Neal was surrounded by the Trail Blazers' inside group, and only made 6 shots in the first three quarters. The 20-year-old Kobe scored 9 points in the last quarter, made 9 of 19 shots in the game, scored 25 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 blocks, helping the Lakers reverse and advance when they were once behind double digits in the final quarter. And all of his four numbers are the highest in the team - no one except him scored 20 points, and no one scored doubles in rebounds.

It is worth mentioning that in this round of series, the Lakers led 3-1 and were forced to tiebreak by the Trail Blazers.

And two years later, McGrady also encountered the same situation - in the first round of 2003, he gave up his harsh words: he was already considering his opponent in the second round.

Then, the Magic lost 3 consecutive games and was reversed and eliminated. In that tiebreak, McGrady made 7 of 24 points, 21 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, and the Magic suffered a 15-point defeat.

McDy's career has been much more bumpy than Kobe, such as his congenital spinal injury, his fate of taking turns to injured in the playoffs with Yao Ming, and even the first round of 2005 that was later admitted to being manipulated by the Black Squirt Donachi.

Considering these, although McGrady did not win the championship, she has won a high honor that matched his career and even entered the Hall of Fame.

So, when you look back and play this "if" word game, it will seem to be a loss of price.

Perhaps this is how we understand: McGrady is a media person now and she always needs to gather traffic like Perkins, Arenas and others.

But for old fans who really chased the Rockets back then, this is indeed difficult to convince.

For example, many fans have also fantasized that if Yao Ming had joined forces with Kobe back then, he would have probably won the championship, but Yao Ming himself has never said so.

In that show, McGrady also mentioned that Kobe's performance in the 2010 Finals was not good, and it was Arte who saved the Lakers.

But he seemed to have forgotten that he had Arte too. But when he had Arte, what did he do...
