NBA: Magic Johnson opens the season, crowned MOP

The Spurs have the ball.

Stepping onto the court again, Joey had a different feeling - this was his first official game in the NBA. The scores, assists, rebounds... data in this game will be recorded in his career and used as a standard to measure a player's career status in the future!

To be honest, he was a little excited at the moment...

Silver First Step Master lit up, and Joey was like the wind, with an easy crotch connection and change of direction, he easily passed by Rivers, and the latter didn't even react

"Swish——"

He scored a layup against Davis' defense!

He got his first point in his NBA career!

I didn't feel as excited as I imagined, but I felt my brain was extremely excited.……

"Well done, rookie, that's how you should play!"

Cheers came from the audience seats near the sidelines, and Joey retreated calmly.

Rivers felt embarrassed and asked Davis to do a pick-and-roll to get back at him.

Unexpectedly, Joey, who was very familiar with Davis's pick-and-roll habits and had the pick-and-roll dodge badge, reacted very quickly - he turned his back flexibly to avoid the pick-and-roll and interfered with Rivers' shot in time. Davis, who rushed to the inside, jumped high, his head almost flat, and relied on his bounce and arm span to grab the frontcourt rebound over Blair's head!

This feeling was so good, finally there was no endless interference from that cold and expressionless face...

Davis, who finally showed his talent on the court, had no time to be happy, and the basketball in his hand was intercepted by a pair of big hands that suddenly appeared!

Ward sent?

Before Davis could react, Joey had already rushed to the frontcourt (Hornets' half) with the basketball, facing the empty basket, like a giant bird spreading its wings and flying, gliding and slamming to score!

The 81-point dunk and 82-point jumping ability, coupled with a height of two meters and a wingspan of two meters and two meters and two hundred and one centimeters, embodied the saying:

Yellow people can also fly!

This scene was recorded by countless spotlights in the audience, and will become another major promotional selling point of the NBA in the future!

"That's how it should be, rookie. Give these New Orleans bastards a good kick in the ass.……"

"Oh, Joey, a beautiful fast break counterattack from the No. 3 rookie guard of the San Antonio Spurs!"

"Great dunk, boy, from today on I am your fan!"

"Spurs champions!"

"……"

This dunk completely"dunked" the enthusiasm of the Spurs fans in the ATT Arena.

As we all know, the Spurs' style of play has always been simple and unpretentious, and the main focus is on the practicality of"boiling a frog in warm water".

Most of the goals came from repeated and complicated tactical moves after shooting or layups, and there were very few such exciting dunks that ignited the whole audience after a defensive counterattack!

(Except for the magic sword that did not play by the rules, even Popovich could not control it)

"Hey, hey rookie, be careful, don't score in this way, otherwise the old man will be unhappy, and he might ban you from the team one day.……"

When returning to defense, French"flexible fat man" Dio, who was high-fiving to boost morale, woke up.

Joey glanced at Popovich on the bench, who looked calm and unconcerned. He was a little confused about his thoughts.

In the next few rounds, Joey and Danny Green teamed up to contribute several wonderful"hammer tactics" goals.

The defense was also very good. Although Davis caught the opportunity to dunk two in the paint, he still managed to pull away the score.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 23:32.

In the second quarter, Popovich rarely arranged a pure offensive lineup, that is, all players were scoring players -

PG Parker, SG Manu, SF Green, PF Duncan, C Bonner.

It was such a lineup of four outside and one inside that directly took the Hornets away.

Facing the experienced Tony Parker who was skilled in small floaters while moving after a screen, Rivers was"played around" like a babbling child. Parker used a variety of offensive methods such as pick-and-roll passes, cross-leg connection and change of direction breakthroughs, and forced fouls, and directly made the latter commit three fouls and was replaced.

Manu also scored 7 points in the paint area guarded by the still green eyebrows and Ryan Anderson.

Davis sent away the"little grinding" Leonard, but got a"gift" carefully prepared for him by the old thief Popovich."——Private teaching by Tim Duncan, the No. 1 power forward in history.

After a short break, Duncan played the entire second and third quarters. During this period, Joey, who was substituted in, watched his college teammate, Anthony Davis, the future"inside beast" of the league, being"beaten in various ways".

Turning hooks and back-to-back fades were all minor moves. The most"humiliating" shot was when Duncan, who was already 36 years old, received the pass from Joey after a breakthrough and dunked the ball into the basket through the 19-year-old thick eyebrows!

The visual effect was so shocking!

O'Neal in the TNT commentary room covered his head and recalled the 2003 playoffs, when Duncan led a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people to eliminate the"three consecutive championship" Lakers led by the OK combination in the Western Conference semifinals.

After the dunk, Duncan's emotions were rarely"out of control", waving his fists and roaring to the sky!

He found Joey and rubbed his head excitedly, which made Manu and Parker on the side silent.

After three quarters, the two teams, which were already very different in strength, entered garbage time.

The score was 53:74.

Except for Leonard and Joey, who were put on the court by Popovich to play against the Hornets'"scumbags" and score points, all other main players were replaced.

(Davis: Who are you calling a"scumbag?" I tell you, I am the honorable No. 1 pick in the NBA draft. Believe it or not, I will sue you for defamation. You slander me, he slanders me!

Joey: Whoever is dunked on by a 36-year-old man is a scumbag...

Davis: Fuck you!)

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Coach Williams had no choice but to replace... Oh no, as one of the weakest teams in the league, the current Hornets seem to have no players who can play as the main force in other teams except Davis, the team's scoring champion Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson, the"ten years ahead of the times" space inside player...

Forget it, except for Eric Gordon who has already scored 24 points in this game, the rest will be led by the No. 1 pick, the young Davis, to continue"scoring" on the court.

An hour later, the two teams ended their first regular season with a big score difference of 71:96.

In this game, Anthony Davis, the talented No. 1 pick of the New Orleans Hornets, contributed 21 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks. Since he spent most of his time against the super giant Tim Duncan, it is remarkable that he could put up such a performance in his first game of his career.

In addition to him, the Hornets only had one quasi-All-Star Eric Gordon (round-faced Deng, who was also very fierce at his peak) who stood out and scored 24 points and 6 assists, successfully leading the team to move one step closer to the No. 1 pick in the 2013 draft!

On the other hand, the Spurs, a veteran Western powerhouse, used their usual teamwork style and scored in many places -

Duncan contributed an economical double-double of 13 points, 10 rebounds and 4 blocks;

""Sports Car" Tony Parker and"Ghost Sword" Manu repeatedly attacked the weak inside line of the Hornets, scoring 19 points and 15 points respectively; the rotation of Danny Green, Leonard and Joey also surprised the Spurs fans, with the three contributing 9 points, 11 points and 14 points respectively.

It is worth mentioning that Joey, the rookie guard selected by the team this year, also contributed 10 assists, becoming the first rookie player in the history of the Spurs to have double-digit assists in the first game of his career.

Other Spurs main players such as Dio and Bonner also scored points.

In short, this is a signature way for the"Spurs to win"!
