    Just saw the article of Mr. Zheng Peng (reporter--"Bascketball Pioneers Newspapaer"). The title of this article in Zheng's Blog is " What calls true news? Mcgrady refused to adjust-- audio attached". I don't mean to piss TOF off, atually I'm a TOF.. .
    I have no Pruyen's translation skill, but you can hear Tracy's voice via the link attached:

    obviously the reporter is trying to stir up trouble, if he isn't why would he only put 9 secs of tape up? What about TMAC's explanation to what he just said?

    Interesting, but it needs context: why cut off the rest of the interview? When and where?

    That's crap, taken out of context. T-Mac would NEVER say that even if he really felt like that.

    heres what happened

    Reporter:do you feel like you have to do anything different from when you got here? Do you have to adjust?

    TMAC:no no (laughs) why would I have to adjust....

    the next word is cut off, this reporter took this out of context and is adding fuel to the fire within the chinese Rockets fan base, since all the comments under that are bashing TMAC(calling his trash and a dog ext).

    Correct me if I'm wrong, sounds to me the reporter asked: do you have to adjust? Do you have to do things differently before you got here? :confused:

    This is the translated quotes/comments on Tracy McGrady's interview at Washington as covered in Sohu.com and Sina.com, all extracts from the Zheng Peng's article from Basketball Pioneers.

    ya thats exactly what it says, sounds like a interview when TMAC first got here from Olando, just saying.
    The blogger/reporter goes into no detail as to say why the reporter asked the question and TMAC's response in its entirety and what other reporters asked as a follow up question, which i would assume if this was truly all TMAC said there would have been a flurry of questions on such a selfish statement.

    Until you hear some crazy story about Howard crying in a hospital claiming his season is over. Everybody laughs.

    Then it actually happens!

    My thought exactly. I don't think Mac is that stupid, and there would be reports with lots of follow up questions on that answer cause it's huge.

    pryuen you forgot the part where TMAC said that he hopes when he comes back he(i am assuming Rafer) plays the same way as he is now.

    I think he didn't forget. He just intended to ignore it!

    I remember Tmac said that the team will get better when he comes back and adapt to the new system, and he hope other players won't change.

    Why those journalists are keeping ask him about that? They treat him like a criminal!

    Eeveryone has pride!
