Tracy McGrady, less than 48 hours removed from a concussion delivered by a Dikembe Mutombo elbow, went through every drill, ran through every play in Monday's practice with the Rockets. McGrady stayed long after practice, working through shooting drills including his eyes-closed free throws, designed to hone his balance. He reported no remaining symptoms after a Sunday spent with severe headaches, almost entirely in the dark and far from the team's annual holiday party. But aside from McGrady's announcement that he is fine to play tonight against the Golden State Warriors, his recovery was most evident from the way teammates joked. "They're calling me Steve Young," McGrady said. Fortunately for McGrady, who suffered a concussion as a Raptor in a collision with Kevin Willis, he is only halfway to the four concussions suffered by the Hall of Fame quarterback. Filling up fast If Mutombo keeps this up, he might have to build a hospital here, in addition to the one he built in Kinshasa. "I've thought about that. If Dikembe's around, what should I do? I don't know," McGrady said. "It's a very impressive list (of victims). I think Deke sits in the locker room and sharpens them (his elbows) up." McGrady found it interesting that LeBron James had crashed into a Mutombo elbow in the 2004-05 season, but he did not know that James came by the Rockets' bench on Saturday to remind McGrady that Mutombo had done more damage to him, breaking his left eye socket. Of course, McGrady knew little about what went on after the first 11 minutes of Saturday's game. He did not remember that the Rockets initially tried to help him to the locker room only to have to return him to the bench when he became too woozy to make the walk. He did not remember nearly passing out or lying down on the Rockets bench or even leaving the court. He did not even recall the collision or the pain. "They say I blacked out," McGrady said. "I don't remember. The only thing I remember is being in the training room. Yes, (it's frightening) because I don't remember anything. The stuff they were telling me was going on on the bench, I was like, 'I was really doing that?' They say I was lying down, took like five, six chairs up. I don't remember that. For me not to remember, that is freaky." Asked how the hit he took felt, McGrady said, "I don't know." It might be better that way. But with McGrady back and showing no signs of a hangover, the Rockets could crank up the one-liners. "I need to talk to Coach (Jeff Van Gundy) to have Dikembe held out of practice, because if he hits somebody in practice, it's our teammate," center Yao Ming said. "At least in the games, it's 50/50." Van Gundy already requires Mutombo to wear elbow pads at practice, though that has not prevented him from taking out Rafer Alston (twice) and Juwan Howard in collisions this season. "Deke's like a tornado," Van Gundy said. "He sets a destructive path. ... You don't know where or when he's going to hit. You know he will sometime during the tornado season, which for us is from October to hopefully late June." For McGrady, Saturday's knockout gave him consecutive home games in which he was stopped or slowed by an injury. He bruised an abdominal muscle in a collision with Mike James against the Timberwolves. But unlike last season, McGrady got better quickly both times. Had been feeling good By Monday, the pain that seemed to bother him most was not how he felt after the knockout he could not recall, but the memory of how good he felt before he hit the floor. "I had it going," said McGrady, who had seven points, three assists and three rebounds and was looking good throughout his 11 minutes. "I felt like my old self. I thought I was going to go that night." Instead, he was gone, and by Monday, just happy to be back. jonathan.feigen@chron.com 大意是說t-mac在禮拜一的練球全程參加包括閉上眼睛的罰球練習(藉以找回平衡感) T-mac說被穆大叔擊倒後記憶一片空白當他清醒時已經是在醫療室在開賽的前十一分鐘 T-mac覺得他在場上又找回重前的自己自己有要爆發的感覺但是卻天外飛來一拐姚明希望范禿可以在練習時把穆大叔放在場邊(自己也身受其"拐") 畢竟練習時拐到的是隊友(私通朱王) 比賽時則一半一半范禿說穆大叔像是個龍捲風會摧毀其經過之處已經要求他練習時戴護肘(比賽時呢?) 總之明天T-mac對上勇士是會上場的來個三連勝!! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.160.49.65
