NBA: Magic Johnson opens the season, crowned MOP

When Leonard stole the ball from Uncle Pi and passed it to Joey for a fast break, Garnett, who was behind him and quickly rushed to the frontcourt like a leopard, was ready to treat Joey to a"hot pot" meal. The latter made a light fake move and made a layup. Unable to overcome gravity, Harden could only fly out of the baseline awkwardly and watch this rookie who had just entered the league score with him as a background.

Harden was so angry that after receiving the referee's serve instruction, he directly pushed the basketball into the back of Joey who was about to retreat.

Joey didn't want to bother with him, but Harden was blocked by several referees and teammates and sprayed at Joey:

"You are a pretty boy who can only tease female stars and play some tricks. If you have the guts to fight with me, I will beat your handsome face to pieces.……"

Joey immediately became furious, and he pulled away the referee and Celtics teammates who were surrounding Garnett, and stood in front of Garnett:

"Come on, I'm coming, fuck me, idiot!"

Joey said provocatively, and bumped into Garnett's lower body.���On the ground, the hard stone knocked the latter staggeringly.

Hardt was stunned at the time. You are not a rookie, are you serious?

And the referee, where are my teammates? Damn, this rookie just pushed you all away?

Not only Garnett, but the Celtics and the referee had the same idea at the moment: wait for the player security personnel to stop this"farce"...

Just kidding, we don't want to sacrifice our careers for you, a mouthful monster!

You know, the last guy who talked to the Spurs rookie like this is still lying in the hospital...

Looking at Pierce, Rondo, Jeff Green and others standing far away, it seems that they are giving the"stage" to the two of them...

Hardt swallowed unconsciously, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but the rookie in front of him was obviously not ready to give up. Hardt looked at this handsome face comparable to a Hollywood A-list boy, and unconsciously thought of the miserable situation of a certain Howard...

I don't want to be the second NBA player to be ridiculed by the whole country!

"cough cough……"

Just as Harden was about to say something, a Spurs teammate on the side finally came over and pulled Joey away:

"Hey rookie, calm down, do you still want to be banned?"

"Joey, don't be impulsive.……"

On the bench, Duncan and GDP were the first to bear the brunt of the attack. They pulled Joey away, and Manu put his arm around Joey's shoulders and whispered in his ear:

"Greg hates guys who start fights on the field... You don't have to be so open, Joey.……"

The referee also gave Garnett and Joey a flagrant foul, warning them not to have similar conflicts again.

Popovich sullenly replaced Joey, who was in good shape.

Garnett also breathed a sigh of relief, but still pretended to be calm. Facing his teammates'"concerns", he"：

""Tsk, he's just a rookie. Didn't you see that I scared him to the point of peeing?"

Pierce, Rondo and others: We didn't see him peeing, but we saw you almost peeing...

After the game, the media interviewed Garnett about this matter, but he said,"You're not answering the question.""：

"Oh, you mean Tim. He is indeed a great player. I just played better in this game, which is why my statistics are slightly better than his.……"

"The title"Green Army leader and former Wolf King Garnett was almost beaten by a rookie" once again topped the hot searches on Milijia's major social platforms.

Interestingly, Howard was once again"hotly discussed" by fans across the United States after this incident. Most fans believed that Howard, who was at his peak and was known as a superman, performed worse than the nearly 40-year-old veteran Harden when facing a rookie...

And Joey's nickname——""Gentleman thug" became popular all over the United States again after this incident.

For a time, the top executives of the 30 NBA teams were all frightened when they heard the name"Joey". You know, NBA players are professional basketball players, but Joey is a professional basketball + professional fighting athlete...

Most importantly, unlike other players who would just hug and wrestle when encountering conflicts on the court, Joey will really send you to the hospital...

No team executive wants the star they have worked so hard to trade to be sent to the hospital in a crucial game, or even to be directly reimbursed for the season...

The Spurs, a team with"many evil deeds", should not appear in this fair and just professional league again!

After the game with the Celtics, the old man found Joey and had a deep talk with him.

Popovich believes that Joey always brings unnecessary trouble to the team on the court, and young players must control their temper in order to grow into superstars in this league.

Moreover, the old man is hinting to Joey that you are the hope of the team's future and a cornerstone of the team like Duncan. He will find someone to do the"dirty work" on the court. As the core of the team, all he has to do is lead the team to win again and again...

Although Joey apparently agreed with the old man's words, and made assurances and reflections.

But in fact, as a red child deeply influenced by socialism, he hates the behavior of classifying people the most. Even for players, it cannot be said that someone is born to be a superstar and someone is born to do dirty work on the court...

Just like this, a trace of disagreement and rift quietly emerged between this pair of master and apprentice.

——————

In the new week, Popovich deliberately reduced Joey's playing time in several regular season games, ostensibly to punish his impulsive performance on the court.

Therefore, in the next home games against the Thunder and the Nuggets, Joey could only lead role players to play in garbage time. After two games, his average playing time did not exceed ten minutes. The outside media also speculated whether there was any conflict between this league's rising star and head coach Popovich.

But in the next four games against the Hornets, Mavericks, Raptors, and Rockets, the old man entrusted Joey with important tasks and made him the starter for four consecutive games.

In the away game against the Hornets, facing the Hornets led by his college teammate Davis, Joey contributed amazing stats of 21 points, 11 assists, 5 rebounds and 3 steals, fully demonstrating the court vision and organizational ability of a top guard; in the away game against the Spurs' old rival, the Dallas Mavericks, one of the"Three Little Giants of Texas", Parker, Manu and Leonard took turns to rest, Joey and Duncan led the team, scoring a total of 56 points, and a 14:5 offensive wave in the fourth quarter took down the Mavericks.

After the game, Dallas'"German Tank", King Nowitzki, who scored 34 points over Duncan in this game, praised Joey as an All-Star player with good offense and defense; On

December 26, the Spurs returned to their home court to face the Toronto Raptors.

In this game, Joey served as the starting small forward and played for 34 minutes.

Facing the quasi-All-Star Azan, he turned into an organizing forward and contributed 17 points, 12 assists and 4 steals, leading the team to a 80:100 victory over the visiting Raptors.

He was selected by the ESPN basketball podcast as one of the best individual performers during the Christmas game (in fact, the Spurs were not scheduled for a Christmas game this year), tied with LeBron James, who scored 44 points on the night of the 25th to lead the Heat to a big win over the Knicks; On

December 28, at home against the Houston Rockets, Deng Ge came with great momentum, vowing to avenge the"one arrow", and scored a triple-double of 37 points, 10 assists and 11 rebounds, taking the victory from the ATT Arena.

Although Joey played 31 minutes in this game, his performance was slightly inferior, but he also scored 20 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, a near triple-double.

Although Parker did not play due to a quadriceps injury in his left leg, which led to the Spurs'"unexpected" loss to the Rockets, Joey has won the recognition of many Spurs fans.

From this game, they truly regard this Asian rookie guard as the"successor to Duncan".

In four games, Joey averaged 19 points, 5.

8 rebounds and 10 assists per game, which is the level of an All-Star guard in the league, and the outside media exclaimed that the Spurs have once again found the"Duncan-level cornerstone of the team building".

At 12 o'clock in the morning on December 28, the NBA All-Star voting channel was officially opened.

The voting time is 00:00 on December 28 this year and ends at 13:00 on January 18 next year.

And a storm named"Joey" is about to set off in China and the United States!
