ATLANTA – Though Tracy McGrady made it clear again that he has grown weary
with waiting for Monday's practice and MRI, the Rockets' designated next step
toward his return to the court, he and Rockets coach Rick Adelman said Friday
that their conversation about it Wednesday was not emotional and that voices
were not raised.
Yahoo Sports reported that McGrady and Adelman “engaged in an emotional and
sometimes loud closed-door confrontation” after McGrady put on his uniform as
if he was going to play.
“It's not even an issue,” McGrady said. “If coach tells you something
different, I'd be surprised. I'm here to play basketball. I'm not here to be a
distraction. I've been through enough of that drama last year. I'm not going to
let it start this year, at all.”
McGrady said that voices were not raised during their conversation.
“No question about it,” he said. “I'm not that type of person and you know
coach is not.”
Adelman did not seem upset on Wednesday. McGrady had gone through his usual
pregame workout before he returned to the locker room and later changed into
his uniform while Adelman conducted his pregame media interview. Adelman later
laughed when told that McGrady was in uniform.
Adelman said on Friday that when they met, the conversation did not get loud,
but that McGrady did not want to wait for next week to make his season debut.
McGrady could not have played at the time he put on the uniform on Wednesday
because that night's inactive list had already been turned in.
“I knew I wasn't going to play,” McGrady said. “I saw my uniform. I was
excited. I put it on, like a little kid. It felt refreshing to put it on
because it was in sight.”
A person with knowledge of NBA insurance policies said that insurance has been
paying McGrady's salary since last season. The Rockets have said that doctors
chose Nov. 23 for McGrady's MRI based on the time doctors believed he would
need following the surgery and the team's practice schedule.
Yahoo reported that McGrady put on the uniform to force Adelman to meet with
him. Adelman, however, said McGrady could have spoken with him at any time and
that they did talk last week, with Adelman reiterating then and again Wednesday
that he would stick with the plan to have McGrady work out and go for an MRI on
Monday before any decisions were made. McGrady, however, has not wanted to
wait, Adelman said.
“There was a difference of opinion,” Adelman said. “He wasn't going to play.
I told him that. That was it. I have no idea what they're talking about. He
wants to play. I said ‘you're not.' We're going to wait to next week and then
we're going to discuss it. We haven't practiced (since Nov. 9). We're going to
just suit him up and throw him out there? No.
“We haven't had any arguments. He wants to know what we're going to do. I
don't have an answer for that. This is an issue for doctors and the people who
work with him. In my mind, he hasn't practiced enough. He's not ready to play.”
Asked if he was eager for Monday's practice and test, McGrady said, “You have
no idea.”

費根出來說話了，不管這是不是想河蟹，至少可信度比Ｙ！的高很多
踢妹否認他們有用很高的音量爭吵，他們只是交換意見
他說他不是來這裡演藍色蜘蛛網的，去年已經演夠了
而愛逗人對踢妹穿球衣這件事的反應也只是笑笑，意思是覺得有趣不介意
當然他還是認為要等MRI做完才能判斷踢妹是否能上場
