NBA: Magic Johnson opens the season, crowned MOP

Green elbowed Leonard away, Curry moved without the ball to attract the main pressure of the Spurs' defense, and Klay Thompson received the pass and made a three-pointer.——

""Swish!"

The Warriors led by 7 points.

Klay made a provocative gesture of" drawing a gun and shooting a three-pointer" to Leonard, who always had a look on his face.

The Spurs attacked.

Joey and Manu passed the ball to each other and went straight to the basket, reaching for the ball.

Manu's pass was very timely.

Green and David Lee of the Warriors also doubled over.

Joey didn't hesitate at all with the basketball in his hand.

He opened his big hand and threw it high - copper·alley-oop initiator, copper·ten cents, the ball was thrown in a perfect arc!

"Bang!"

Duncan, an old man, was like a young man, dunking the ball into the basket with a matchbox-like bounce.

Curry pushed the ball forward, and just after passing half court, he encountered Joey's tight defense. He was about to shake off Joey with a light back movement like a butterfly flying through flowers, but...

Curry, who had been fighting for the whole game, made a mistake because of his much larger body and oppressive defense.

Snap!

Joey cut the ball from Curry's hand accurately, like a wolf smelling blood. The latter only felt the familiar huge force coming, and then he could no longer feel the basketball in his hand……

T—600 (the original robot in the Terminator series, a metaphor for Kawhi Leonard during this period) immediately started up - a new force for the Spurs——"The"death striker lock line" combination once again launched a steal counterattack. The impactful and visually appealing style of play is currently a major"selling point" for the Spurs.

After Joey stole the ball, he didn't even cross the half court. He just stood there, relying on his terrifying big hands and the newly rising terrifying power to grab the basketball and throw it high - a perfect quarterback long pass!

Leonard rushed to the Warriors' half court and caught the ball and dunked it easily

"Fuck San Antonio! Fuck Tim, Fuck Popovich!"

"Damn it, teach him a lesson, don't beat him like a coward Draymond!"

"Fuck you, you rookie should go see God, this is a foul! This is robbery! Where is the referee? You should call him for an intentional foul!"

"A bumpkin and robber from the Texas countryside!"

"……"

The amazing power of the Warriors' home fans surprised the commentators and media reporters on the sidelines.

Damn it!

Curry cursed inwardly - is it over yet? This is the fourth time in this game. Are you going to take advantage of me, the"sheep"? As the saying goes, the master humiliates the servant, and the servant dies. This has been the truth since ancient times.

Green saw that Curry wanted to cry but had no tears, and took the initiative to whisper a few words in his ear.

Mark Jackson's face changed, and he thought it was not good - this dirty bastard rookie was going to use an unconventional move!

Bastard Draymond, you are really blinded by lard. Don't you see what kind of ruthless character the rookie on the opposite side is - even the aggressive league heavyweight stars like Howard and Garnett have to"retreat", why are you still rushing to send him?

Fortunately, Curry frowned, as if rejecting Green's proposal - as a player who has suffered a serious injury, he doesn't like to cause a player to be injured because of some intentional factors on the court, even if this person is his opponent...

Klay glanced at the dark Green with contempt, shook his head and prepared to kick off.

Green was not angry after being rejected, but just looked in the direction of Joey and others in the Spurs half court, his eyes flickering, obviously"with bad intentions".

Joey, who noticed something, was secretly alert.

It was the Warriors' turn again, and Curry and Thompson used Slip Lob, one of the Warriors' killer moves.

The two outside and three positions were in the baseline, and the power forward held the ball on the wing. The center set a fake screen for Thompson at the two position, Thompson moved up to attract the focus of the switch defense, and the center went down for an alley-oop.

The Spurs' lineup is the least good at defending this set of mobile tactics, but because there are Joey and Leonard, two of the league's backcourt positions with lateral movement and assisting defense speed, on the court, they are not afraid of the opponent team using this trick to play"transition".

Joey, who is used to watching the opponent's game video before every game, saw the Warriors' intentions at the first time.

At the moment when Manu was blocked, he did not choose to defend Thompson for him, but let go of Curry in front of him and went straight to the inside.——

"Snapped——"

Another crisp interception sounded, and nearly 20,000 fans in the stadium stood up in disbelief to watch this scene:

Joey only took half a second to cross half of the half court to rush to the paint area and intercepted the goal that Green passed to David Lee.

How the hell is this played?

The Spurs are a team-oriented team that shares and switches the ball, and the current Warriors are also such a team, but even if the styles of the two teams are of the same type, even in terms of outside firepower, the"Splash Brothers" who have already begun to show their edge slightly suppress the current incomplete Spurs (Parker retired due to injury).

But the opponent has a"hang-up", not to mention a forward defensive gate Leonard, but also an outside defense monster Joey who is a three-in-one organizer, offense, and defense!

There is an old saying that goes -

I can make countless mistakes, but you can only make one mistake!

Knock on you, how can the Warriors, who have more than ten turnovers in one round, play like this?

If you are not careful, the ball will be intercepted by Joey or Leonard who suddenly appears.

""Swish!"

Joey hit the ball to Manu, who made a bold"three-pointer" at the critical moment.

Damn you... Good shot, Manu! That's how it should be played!

Sima Laozei, who was"as steady as an old dog" off the court, had veins on his forehead and almost cursed.

106:108, 1 minute and 21 seconds left.

The Spurs chased five points in a row, and their morale was high!

Mark Jackson called a timeout.

""Beautiful rookies!"

Back on the bench, veterans such as Duncan, Dio, and Bonner covered Joey and Leonard's heads with towels, rubbing them with their hands, with satisfied smiles on their faces.

Popovich also rarely showed a satisfied look during the game -

Leonard's defensive skills were improving every day as always. He was the type who didn't show any skills, and he played the game of"using force to defeat tricks"."、"The main talent type is"quick eyes and quick hands";

Joey is currently a fully upgraded version of Kawhi Leonard, with the ability to organize passes and cuts, which is already a strength that has already made him a top point guard in the league. The moving jump shot inherited from the French sports car and the breakthrough and three-point shot taught by Manu are also two"lethal weapons""……

The most critical thing is the defensive end. Unlike Leonard, although the two's defensive combination is called"death striker lock line" by the current league teams, both single defense and assist defense are first-class, but Joey's performance on the defensive end is more based on skills, brains, and pre-match game videos...

Compared with Leonard, it is like the difference between Michael Jordan and Sidney Moncrief - one is talent + hard work + skills (he is like a sponge, actively absorbing the"water" he can absorb), and the other is talent + system training (that is, the team needs him to develop in this direction, but he still has some hidden and untapped potential, such as offensive and organizational aspects); this game is the first encounter between the Spurs and the Warriors, the"upstarts" in the West.

The old man's tactical arrangements are mainly based on testing and training, and the sudden"explosion" of the Splash Brothers allowed the Warriors to lead by ten points in the third quarter.

However, in the fourth quarter, with the hard work of Joey and Leonard, the score difference was forced to close to two points. Even if the old man no longer cares about the victory or defeat in the regular season, he will naturally not let go of a game that can be won with almost 70% certainty.

"Listen guys, I'm not going to make a second change in the final minutes of the game!"

"Kawhi is keeping an eye on the Warriors' Thompson and Tim is blocking their inside line. You have absolute advantages in height, weight and strength. Rebounding data can be sacrificed, but Joey and Kawhi, you protect the rebounds without hesitation, do what you are best at, young people.……"

Popovich tapped the tactical board, and the Spurs players gathered around him, listening to the final tactical arrangement.

"Believe me, coach, I will never let you down again!"

"Shut up Draymond, I don't want to hear any more of your meaningless bullshit……"

This conversation came from the Warriors bench. At this time, Coach Jackson had some"disputes" with the team's backup No. 4 player Draymond Green.

As a former professional player who left a"legend" in the history of Indiana Cornfield and is currently ranked third in the NBA's historical assists list, Mark Jackson naturally understands the importance of"harmony between the general and the coach" to the team.

But since yesterday's press conference, this beast named"Draymond" has been constantly PUAing in his ears, saying things like"Let me start, I will definitely defend the Spurs' Asian zz"、""I will never let you down, Mr. Coach."

But what was the result?

Mark Jackson glanced at the statistics board handed over by the assistant coach.

The rookie of the Spurs team had already scored 28 points, 9 assists, 5 rebounds and 5 steals, with a shooting percentage of 66.6%, which was higher than David Lee, Duncan and other inside players. He is currently the best performing player of the Spurs.

And what about Green?

Let's not talk about the triple-single data. The key is that you gave me four fouls on the defensive end. Who are you disgusted with? Are you disgusted with the Spurs team, or the No. 3 rookie of the Spurs?

What do you mean by"I will never let you down?" You are disgusting me! Bastard...

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel on the bench, the star Curry stepped out to mediate:

"Well, there is no need to dwell on such meaningless topics.……"

Curry advised:

"Draymond is indeed a bit outspoken, but his intentions are good and he also wants the team to win. We shouldn't blame him for this alone!"

Curry's words, on the surface, are speaking for Green, but in fact, another meaning is to hint to Mark Jackson not to show the team's negative side to the public in public.

It's as if he is the head coach of this team.

In fact, from these words, we can see why Jackson parted ways with the Warriors a year later, while Green integrated into the group and was able to"stand firm" in Golden State even after experiencing various team scandals in the future.

It is true that Curry is an excellent locker room leader, but sometimes he is too"soft". As the boss of the team, he seems to have gained the support of most of the team members, but it is undoubtedly pushing the players headed by him and the head coach to an opposite side.

Two very simple questions - at the critical moment of the game, will you listen to the coach or you?

Will the management stand on the side of the team players, or on the side of the head coach?

These two problems were not completely solved until Kerr took office.

So Curry showed this attitude at this moment, which naturally"touched" Green.

Mark Jackson's face was livid, and he reluctantly kept Green on the court, but put Barnes, Ezeli and other team forwards on the court instead. The good player was pressed on the bench.

And Green did not disappoint, and he put on a"good show" for everyone when he came on the court again.

When the"death forward lock line" combination defended the Warriors' offense, Joey advanced with the ball, and with an extremely fast first step, he instantly passed Curry, broke into the three-point line and pushed David Lee away for a layup.

But Green came out from the wing at some point, and slapped Joey on the head with great force, while bending his knees and implicitly pushing towards the latter's waist!

Hiss - if he was hit this time, Joey would not be seriously injured, but he would have to rest for a few games.

Bang!

Between flesh and flesh A collision with great impact sounded, and Joey was enveloped by severe pain in several places at this moment. The pain nerves even twitched, and his face turned pale visibly.

The bronze · Terminator master and silver · Powerful Terminator badges lit up!

At this critical moment, the Andre Miller card on Joey's star card panel flashed twice, and the pain disappeared instantly...

Then Joey subconsciously stretched out his long arms to avoid being interfered with by Green. At this time, the advantage brought by his abnormal arm span talent was revealed - the ball was successfully shot and fell along an unsightly arc.……

"Swish——"

"Whistle!"

The sound of the net and the whistle sounded almost at the same time. In the incredible eyes of all the fans, Joey was knocked away by Green's almost"evil foul", but he was still able to keep his body balance in the air and score the ball.

Green was also a little bit unbelievable, but he did not have the abnormal body control of Joey, and he could not overcome gravity and began to fall. At this time, Joey's"counterattack" came - as we all know, when people lose their balance, they will subconsciously grab whatever they can grab around them to seek fulcrum, and Joey is no exception.

With Sitthichai's"ten years of free fighting experience" by his side, Joey"skilled" in the air: one hand grabbed Green's jersey in front of him, and the other hand was hidden in the air when he completely lost his center of gravity. He raised his"arc" and aimed his elbow at Green's head, which had already landed on the ground.

Boom!

Others didn't know, but before Green could react, a"big elbow" with an angle of about 75 degrees on the right side came down from the sky with unrivaled force and hit him fiercely on the jaw.

If you watch the replay, you can definitely see that Green's eyes were faintly filled with tears, his lips rolled in waves, and his chin made a"crunch" sound - a critical hit from 90 points of strength attribute!

The heart-wrenching pain of broken bones came, and Green felt as if his head was hit by a ton of weight. The next moment, half of his face was hit and he lost consciousness, and then his eyes went black - he seemed to see a kind-looking black old lady standing in the air, waving at him! onglishet!

Mom, you may not believe it when I say this, but I seem to...see that I am too old?!

"boom——"

Green's 210-pound body fell heavily to the ground, and a pool of unknown red liquid mixed with tiny particles flew several meters away, staining a large area of the court floor red.

The last scene Green saw was: the referee on the sidelines screamed at the top of his lungs, rushed over as if his parents had died, and pulled all the Spurs players away, especially the Asian player who was lying on the ground, holding his waist with a look of pain on his face;

Stephen, Klay and other teammates were terrified, covering their mouths and shouting"Security, Security", and the fans on the sidelines covered their mouths in disbelief and shouted"Murderer!""……

Green: Huh? Why did they call security? Shouldn't they call the team doctor?

Before he could think about this, Green completely lost consciousness.
