McGrady: When I came to the Rockets, I asked Kobe how to partner with the big guy. Xiao Fan said I will never get the scoring champion again

Host: "You joined the Rockets in 2004 and partnered with Yao Ming. What was that experience? How did you have the chemistry with Yao Ming?"
McGrady: "It feels good, brother. I also asked Kobe at that time because he and Shaq had worked with him. This is my first time working with a big man, so I have to learn from Kobe and try to find the rhythm - after all, I just averaged 32 and 28 points and became the league's scoring champion for two consecutive years. Now I have to adjust my playing style and slow down the pace."
"Do you know what crazy is? When I first met Jeff Van Gundy, he told me, 'Congratulations on being the scoring leader for two consecutive years, but you won't be the scoring leader here anymore.' He was right, we had a big guy who needed to feed the ball. But overall, Yao Ming was still in the growth stage and was learning. But by the fifth and sixth years of his career, he was already very good--he can attack with both left and right hands, shooting more than 80% of the free throws, and his mid-range distance is stable, and his offense is fully mature."
