籃球巨星麥迪加盟CBA 正式宣佈加盟青島雙星

After 15 often spectacular seasons in the NBA, Tracy McGrady is finalizing agreement on a one-year contract with Qingdao DoubleStar Eagles of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA), sources told Yahoo! Sports.

McGrady, a seven-time All-Star, couldn't secure a guaranteed NBA contract for this season and decided against trying to make a roster in training camp.

McGrady, 33, will likely complete the deal within the next couple days and leave for China within the next one to two weeks, sources said.

McGrady's long-time partnership with former Houston Rockets center Yao Ming made McGrady a popular player in China, and he'll be afforded star status here.

McGrady worked out for the San Antonio Spurs and New York Knicks in the past month, but neither franchise had a roster spot to commit to him.

After 15 years in the league, McGrady had career-low numbers in Atlanta a season ago, averaging 5.3 points in 16 minutes per game. McGrady has been slowed with knee problems in recent years.

The Chinese season ends in March, allowing McGrady to return to the United States and possibly sign with an NBA playoff contender.

Tracy McGrady averaged 5.3 points and 16 minutes a game last season with the Hawks.

【新聞快訊】

在NBA征戰15載後，曾經的NBA得分王、超級巨星麥迪將與CBA青島男籃“牽手”，簽訂一份爲期一年的合同。

作爲曾經七屆全明星成員，現年33歲的麥迪在這個夏天相繼在聖安東尼奧馬刺隊和紐約尼克斯隊試訓，但並沒有得到兩隊提供的保障合同。

據雅虎體育消息人士透露，麥迪很可能會在未來一到兩週處理完相關事宜後來到中國。在聯盟打拼了15個年頭後，麥迪上賽季在亞特蘭大老鷹隊效力，場均出戰16分鐘，得到職業生涯最低點5.3分。最近幾個賽季，麥迪一直飽受膝蓋傷勢困擾。

麥迪曾經效力於休斯敦火箭隊，和姚明是隊友。“姚麥組合”的經歷讓麥迪在中國球迷中擁有極高的人氣。
