Recent match (T-Mac)

This is the match played on 23/01/2011
Pistons VS Suns  ( 75vs74 )


T-Mac did not perform well in this match. He only managed to scored 3 points, but  his health problem is getting better and better. Which means he's going to perform better in next few matches, being healthy is really important for a sportsman, like last few matches of Heats , 2 of their main player injurd then can not play the matches, in the end their team lose for 4 matches...

Last friday I and my friends went to play basketball, when we talk about T-Mac , we are really happy. I don't know why that everyone are glad to see T-Mac back, perhaps all my friends are his fans? Or we really want to see T-Mac create the history again.

Another thing is that my friend did point out my lay-ups can not make it, I was thinking that lay-ups is the basic basketball skill, how can I fail? So I went to You Tube and learn.


This video really helps me a lot, because normally we practice the lay-ups ,there's no defender, so lay-ups become very easy. But when we playing matches, defender always use their body contact try to stop us from lay-ups. so this  video teaches us about how to overcome it which I think it's quite useful.
Have a nice day!

T-Mac back to bench player.

As my last post said, T-Mac's teammate was injured and T-Mac become the starers of his team.
But now his teammate had come back from the medical treatment.
So T-mac move back to a bench player.

Yet he scored 9 points and 7 assist.
Although he's a bench player, he still managed to play the game for 36 minutes which is almost the same timing as starters.
The only reason for that is T-Mac shows the world he's back. He use his skills and experiences to prove that he can make it and his results proved it.
I think T-Mac changed a lot as compare to last time, He used to be a shooting guard, and his style is more on one man show. But now he is a really a leader, his position is point guard now and he leading the team to play the game. His assists are wonderful.
I believe that few days later, T-Mac will be one of the starters again!

These details are provided by the video publisher. I found it is quite details and it's useful to observe T-Mac's movement.

My personal opinions
As the videos shows, T-Mac  play as a point guard, That's a new try for him. Maybe I should say consider as new because he play as point guard in some years back and only for a short period of time.
This time, he show his talents on basketball to the world.
He's leading a whole team, his passing are amazing as no one knows where he goint to pass the ball to . He let his team's attack became very smooth.
T-Mac proved that nothing is more important than experience . His NBA career gain him so much experience, so he know how to organise his team to play a smooth attack.
As a fan of T-Mac, I am so glad that he can be a great player that contribute to a team so much again. His shooting are more accurate, his movement faster than last time.
I think that he recover almost 99% from the injuries and he's getting more familiar to the game ,the feeling is back!
Although he's going to be a bench player again when he's team starers recover and back to the game, but I think now it is more benifitial to T-Mac,because he needs more rest and improve step by step.

Our pray works! T-Mac is really back!
Thank you those who pray together with me for T-Mac.
what we learn is Never Give Up and T-Mac shows us there's always a chance if we willing to work hard .

T-Mac back to Orlando Magic!

Updates about the match PistonsVS Magic  (4/12/2010)


This is a match that all the T-Mac 's fans and Magic 's fans must watch .
As what my first post mentioned about, T-Mac was in Magic team from 2000-2004. He made lot records on Magic, also bring Magic to many times of play off.

This is a first time that T-Mac represent Pistons to fight against Magic. Besides that, Magic's leader Vince Carter is T-Mac's cousin.

Analysis the match(Personal Opinions)

T-Mac scores only 4 points in this match, but I was quite surprise that T-Mac get his FadeAway back! Some more his opponent is Vince Carter who is a great and famous defender.

As compared to last match which scores 13 points , the scores for this match was low. but we must look at his defence, assist,rebounds.
T-Mac was doing the right thing for the team which probably his coach told him to do so .

T-Mac is on the healthy track, He will get his more basketball moves back and prove that Never Give Up is a correct choice rather than give up on his interest.

The speech by T-Mac touches me


  • He name Magic as Home!(Never forget people that help him)
  • He said he 's doing what he should do .
  • He wanted to be healthy.(which will contribute to team more)
  • His aim is to contribute more to the team.
I think that's the way a smart player should be, change himself when the situation need them to change. Some people are just refuse to change.
I know that my blog is trying to persuade people Never Give Up, but is it not give up by changing your steps/ways . Because we get the same goal we set !

This is a lesson that I learnt from T-Mac. Knowing how and when to change ourselves in order to achieve our goals.

I hope that all of us should not give up whenever there's a trouble,we should face it and think of the possible ways to solve the problem rather than not accepting it and refuse to change.

Tips for Shooting basketball from far:



Basically Practice practice and practice!
But follow the steps which videos shown. Will help to improve faster.
So , I show 2 videos so far, if you did try out you will able to get a perfect shot from either near of far from nets. Hope you guys master it! Good Luck ! and Never Give Up .

T-Mac is back!

Updates about the matches T-Mac played recently.



This is the match VS Knicks.
T-Mac scores 13 Points in the 2nd quarter which is his new high score in the season.
Besides the scoring part, from the videos I watched about T-Mac recently. He is still as great as last time.
His assists are great which always lead to a good finish.
His defence is great too !

Respond to my blog readers:

I did change the font and the font size/color. Hope it will be better now. Thank you for point out.

Of cause Kobe-Bryant is a great basketball player too.
Kobe's unique skill is Fadeaway .
Fadeaway is a jump shot taken while jumping backwards.

Few years back , Kobe and T-Mac are on the same level, many people(including me) think that T-Mac has greatest potential in basketball as compare to Kobe and other NBA new players.

But T-Mac was not so lucky as Kobe, T-Mac injuries are too serious which affect his performance.

I shall share a video :




From this video , we can find out that T-Mac and Kobe are great! T-Mac lead the whole team to win the match, yet Kobe has too many mistakes.
I'm not trying to say Kobe not great, maybe other videos Kobe won T-Mac. I just wanted to point out that T-Mac's fighting spirit is Never Give UP.

Tips to shoot a basketball:


It's about the shooting arc. The shot science provide many more videos about shooting a basketball.
I think this video is very useful, personally I follow the steps they teach, and I managed to improve my accuracy of shooting a basketball.

Personally I think making a jump shoot is really difficult, it's even more difficult when there's defenders .
But from T-Mac 's jump shoot... everyone will just say,
"No one can stop T-Mac!!!" too amazing, can't be stop.

When will T-Mac really back?

Many people asking that when will T-Mac really back?
As what we know that T-Mac's injuries can't recover fully,
T-Mac  said that his aim no longer is champion.
He just want to be healthy and contribute more to his team.
T-Mac doesn't mind to be a bench player,
As long as he's healthy, he will slowly get back his "feel"
and the video above proved that T-Mac got some of his moves back!

I'm so glad to seeing that T-Mac contributing more and more to his team. I strongly believe that T-Mac will be back, not just 1 match but every match!

In next few post , I will continue to post some tips for play basketball.

     ·His fighting spirit. (Never give up)
 


Let me start with this great video.

13 points in 33 seconds!
How amazing it is. 
That's T-Mac!
 

Personal thought:


Tracy McGrady ( T-Mac) was that great at few years back. But due to his injuries, He was not doing so well as last time. The worst is that he almost lost his job as a basketball player. Right now he is at team Pistons . He became a bench player.
 

I don't understand why god just unfair to some people who have special talent... T-Mac is a resposible player and leader, he even tears for he never make the whole team to get into playoff. 
 


I respect him so much! A great player should have skills and responsibilities just like T-Mac. T-Mac never blame others or the god for taking away his talents. He train more harder than usual, He never let his fans down.
 

But the fate just don't like T-Mac to be healthy!!! He suffer from another injury last few weeks in the match VS Lakers. 
 


T-Mac still managed for a free throw! Greatest player ever!
 

We hope that 1 day T-Mac will be back . Rewrite the history again.
 

Guys, if you think you are suffering from something, please think of T-Mac, the way he work hard. the way he nt being controlled by the bad situation. Maybe you can not be as great as last time. But at least you making yourself to a better state! Never Give Up! T-Mac and my friends! Let's move on together. We are all here for you, to support you!
 


We believe one day ,
You will be back!
at NBA
make more history!

And we should learn from him.
