NBA: Magic Johnson opens the season, crowned MOP

February 10, Barclays Center, Brooklyn.

The first regular season game between the Spurs and the Nets was in full swing...

Joey held the ball from the outside, passed it to Leonard, and cut inside.

Deron Williams bypassed Leonard and chased him relentlessly.

Joey elbowed Fatty at the free throw line, and Leonard hit the ball to Parker who was setting a fake screen, and Parker understood.——

"Swish——"

Former Elvis Wallace and Reggie Evans, who was standing in front of Leonard, didn't see clearly at all. The basketball had been thrown into the air, and Joey tapped the ball into the basket at the right time.

"Hey dirty rookie, people say you're here to take over from Tim……"

After Joey scored, Deron rubbed his chest but didn't rush to serve the ball. Instead, he stuck to Joey like a dog-skin plaster:

"You know, those so-called media spokespersons are like some ignorant flies who pretend to know something. They actually think that I am a professional player born out of the system like you?"

Deron's words were full of surprise and disdain, and his eyes were full of fiery fighting spirit when he looked at Joey. Unfortunately, the latter had the same expression from beginning to end:

"I will prove to everyone that I, Deron Williams, am a unique superstar!"

The next second, Lopez's pass was just right. Deron used the former's pick-and-roll to skillfully knock the ball to Joey's crotch, and was about to perform a"man-ball pass""——

""Ka!"

The sound of the ball being intercepted rang out. The"little tank" engine that D'Antoni was proud of and had no disadvantages in the NBA back line was blocked by Joey.

The latter put up his hands and stood still at the moment of his breakthrough, causing Deron to make a mistake in time.

The ball passed, but Deron was stopped by Joey.

"Snapped——"

Leonard quickly grabbed the basketball and ran to the Nets half court.

""Bang!"

When he sent the ball into the basket with an ordinary slam dunk, Joe Johnson, the fastest defender of the Nets, had just passed half court.

Shit!

This rookie has such a keen observation. This guy's static talent is simply a bug when used as a guard!

Deron Williams staggered due to the reaction force, and cursed inwardly as he watched his mistake causing the opponent to score on a fast break. He was pulled up by his teammates in embarrassment.

Joey then walked past him lightly, and under the gaze of more than 19,000 fans at the Barclays Center, he made an"unbelievable" move - he bent down and pressed his palm to the level of his heel when he passed Deron. , with a look of contempt on his face, as if to say:

Look, you are only as good as my heels...

The Nets players were stunned for a moment:

No, this rookie is so bold?

Even PJ Carlesimo (Nets head coach), who had heard of Joey's"numerous evil deeds", was a little stunned.

Deron opened his eyes in disbelief, and then a burst of anger burned up. He struggled to get up and rushed to Joey to ask for"explanation".

The Nets players on the court, led by Lopez, hurriedly stopped him. After seeing Deron being controlled, the three referees of this game were even more worried for him - oops... It was a close call!

"Whistle!"

The referee on duty blew the whistle, signaling the Nets to serve the ball, and signaled another referee on the sidelines to walk to the technical table: a technical foul was given to Joey!

Tomato!

Joey was so embarrassed at the time, and he was busy"fighting" with D'Antoni, and almost forgot that players who made insulting gestures during the game would be called for technical fouls.

In this way, Joey received the first"technical foul" in his career.

When the Spurs players headed by Duncan saw Joey stunned on the court, they couldn't help clapping and laughing on the bench -

Manu and Duncan laughed the most exaggeratedly!

Just as they were laughing so hard, Joey observed that Popovich's face on the sidelines was as black as the bottom of a pot.

After glaring at Joey fiercely, Sima Laozei quickly changed his face, called a timeout, and then rushed to the technical table with Budenholzer. Shouting"unjust"!

Joey looked embarrassed and followed Parker and others who looked amused.

At this time, the score between the two sides was 91:78, and the Spurs led by 13 points away from home.

Joey has contributed 14 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals in this game. Although he can't compare with Parker's 20 points, 4 assists and Duncan's 17 points and 12 rebounds, he is better in all aspects.

And on the defensive end, he restricted Deron Williams and Joe Johnson, the two main outside firepower points of the Nets, very well. The overall hit rate of the two was not even 35%.

Of course, this may also be related to the New York media's revelation yesterday that Deron and teammate Kris Humphries (Kardashian's ex-husband) went in and out of nightclubs in the middle of the night. In the last quarter of the game, the Spurs withdrew all the main players and put Joey, Leonard, Green and others on the court to continue"scoring".

GDP: Oh! It's another day of clocking in for three quarters... (happy face)

The atmosphere on the Nets side is not so good. With

29 wins and 21 losses so far this season, the winning rate is less than 60%. Compared with the Nets' final record of 22 wins and 44 losses last season (shortened season), it is naturally a rapid improvement.

But if it comes at the cost of a luxury tax of 44.5 million US dollars...

(The 13-14 season was even more exaggerated: 90.6 million US dollars)

Well, I can only say that the Russian tycoons don't care about this little money!

But the opponent of this game, the Spurs, is famous for being"stingy and poor" in the NBA. So far, they have not paid luxury taxes for 20 years...

As a result, a team that paid nearly half a billion in luxury taxes was clocked in for three quarters by a team that did not even meet the league's team salary line...

Carlesimo wiped the non-existent"sweat" on his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief:

People are afraid of comparisons. Fortunately, I have a boss who doesn't understand basketball very well.……

"Fuck joey! Fuck joey!"

"Ai Anyou has a fever, Ai Anyou has a fever, Joey!"

"Texas country bumpkin, fuck San Antonio……"

"……"

Ever since Joey made that insulting move to Deron at the end of the third quarter, the Barclays Center was like fireworks lit up in the summer, filling the night sky with all kinds of abuse and insults from New York fans.

���Joey continued to play in the quarter and was not only not affected, but became more and more courageous.

He not only contributed 2 steals and a"block shot" on the Nets star Deron, but also relied on a long two-pointer after the pick-and-roll with Baynes to score 11 points in a single quarter.

Deron's face became darker and darker, and the New York fans off the court became more and more excited. Later in the game, when they saw that Joey was getting better and better, and even behaved a little too"actively", some New York fans couldn't help but slander:

This rookie doesn't have any special hobbies, right?

If Joey could hear their voices, he would definitely give them a high degree of"affirmation", because——

【Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission: Double-kill the Big Apple in the rookie season! Reward title: Mayor of New York (primary), wearing effect: When equipped with this title, against any team of the Knicks or Nets, all data will be temporarily +3, lasting for one hour.

Joey opened the personal data panel, and there was indeed an additional"Title/Buff" column under the star template card.
