NBA: Magic Johnson opens the season, crowned MOP

That night, the"league rising star" Joey ran wild in the Chicago United Center, scoring a super-large"4×5" data of"60+5+5+5+2" and instantly made headlines in the Mi Lijia basketball circle.

Tonight, against his old team, the Cavaliers, the South Coast Little Emperor who scored a large triple-double of"37+11+13", and Kobe, who has already begun to exert his strength and almost single-handedly caused the second-placed New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference to lose, and the King of New York, Melon, contributed a"47-point" at the Staples Center."VS"46 points" showdown…

Almost all the teams playing tonight were overshadowed by Joey’s"60 points"!

60 points?!

What does that mean?

The last time a 60-point game appeared in the league was in 2006. On December 17 of that year, in a game between the Wizards and the Lakers,"General" Arenas contributed a great"60-point" scoring performance to the world;

(Note: Kobe also scored 45 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists in that game. Guagua and the Little Emperor scored their career highs in the next season, that is, the 14th regular season - 62 and 61 points respectively)

Although the General gradually faded out of the league due to off-court factors, looking through NBA history, those who can score 60 points are not unknown people, but basically the league’s temporary super giants.

For example, on January 23, 2006, Tulong Ke (6 times 60+）、Danzi on March 28, 1990 (69 points against the Cavaliers, 4 60 points+）、Joey's predecessor David Robinson (71 points, of course), Hawks legend Maravich scored 68 points in Madison, Elgin Baylor scored 71 points in Madison...

Too many famous superstars have left their own legends at the"hurdle" of 60 points.

And now, Joey, a freshman, can actually make his name appear among these people in the long river of history... Isn't it a great event?

It's enough to imagine how many hours of overtime the major media in the United States will work tonight because of Joey's"60+" performance until the early morning!

A basketball storm named"Joey" is sweeping rapidly towards the states of the United States with Chicago as the center!

——————

"A new NBA rookie single-game scoring record was born—the talented point guard Joey from Illinois!"

"Facing his hometown team, Joey scored a career-high 60 points, the most points in a single game this year, and the most points in a single game by a rookie in history!"

"Charles Barkley, famous TNT commentator: He is not the new era of Ma Ji, he proved to us that he is the new era of Michael……"

"Reggie Miller, former famous NBA killer and TNT commentator: There are no words that can perfectly describe my shock at this game. It is simply unbelievable. This is a historic and shocking scoring performance!"

"Wells Bunch, ESPN's chief contract commentator:"Everyone misjudged Joey. We have always regarded him as Machi's successor, and Machi thinks so too... But tonight, this young man from Illinois used a historic scoring performance of 60 points to prove to us that he also aspires to be a top scorer like Kareem, Larry... and even Michael!" Shaquille

O'Neal, who has always shown an unusual fondness for Joey in front of the outside world, also stood up and"praised" the latter."：

"As we all know, to become a top three player in the same position, he must first dominate most of the players of the same period. Obviously, Joey, who has played less than 60 games, has proved that he is moving towards this path... In fact, what I want to say is……"

The Big Shark left a message on the Spurs’ official Twitter and Instagram:

"Hey! Pete (Holt, Spurs boss), Greg, prepare to renew Joey's contract with a truckload of money in the 2015 offseason!"

League superstars such as James, Kobe, Wade, and Anthony also uploaded a clip of Joey's goal in this game (more than ten minutes long) on their social media as soon as possible, and each of them expressed their amazement in the text.

The Bulls' official social media website has been paralyzed by a large number of fans from Chicago and even the entire state of Illinois.

Almost everyone here cursed the stupidity of the management and Noah's outspokenness!

Especially Noah. It is said that after this game, when Noah returned to his villa in the wealthy area of Chicago, he encountered the"Death Black Cat" threat from multiple Chicago gangs.

(Death black cat threat: It comes from a TV show about gangsters that I watched. It is said that if the gangs target you or you offend someone they shouldn’t, they will kill a black cat, nail a letter in its mouth, and throw it into your home in the dead of night.)

After all, Noah’s"racial discrimination" remarks also insulted the white and Asian people living in the gangs, and it is reasonable for them to retaliate against Noah.

However, among the large number of messages insulting Noah and the management, a considerable part of the content is actually about Joey, who"detonated" Chicago tonight.

This part of the fans believes that Joey is originally from the Milton William neighborhood in Chicago’s wealthy area. Growing up as a professional player, you should be very happy to play for your hometown team.

Moreover, at last year's draft, the Bulls management knew that what the team lacked most was a reliable, traditional point guard with good control, and Joey perfectly met all the needs of the Bulls at the time. However, they did not seek a trade, but chose to pan for Joey's college teammate from the same school at the end of the first round, Marquis Teague, who was also Joey's main substitute in college.

Joey can now score 60 points in a single game in a top league like the NBA, while Teague is still struggling to level up in the Development League. The gap is obvious!

How to prevent some Chicago fans from being"angry at their lack of fighting spirit"!

They even criticized General Manager Foreman for being short-sighted, His professional ability was not up to standard, and he failed to fulfill his responsibility to recruit players for the team. What’s more, he even sent an email directly to the Bulls’ minority owner, saying that he had evidence of Foreman’s PY trade with other teams...

And when Joey left Chicago with the team and returned to San Antonio that night, he was met with an enthusiastic"welcome ceremony" at the airport by the fans of the Holy City. Because of this game, Joey’s popularity and fame, which were only high in Texas and Illinois, skyrocketed to the point where he had fans in every state in the country. Young fans in every state regarded him as the"Jordan" of the new era, and almost every household bought one or two peripheral products related to Joey.

After the"Basketball Mecca""After scoring 44 points, Joey's Spurs No. 3 jersey was once again"out of stock" across the United States. It was often sold out as soon as the jersey was launched in the flagship store.

Joey's sneaker series, which currently only has two color schemes, the"Gentleman Generation" was officially declared"sold out" in the early morning of March 7!

Luke Fultz, the general manager of the Nike official responsible for Joey's"Gentleman Series" sneaker design team, was also"rewarded" by Nike's senior management and pre-selected for new color schemes - because although the"Gentleman Generation" sneakers only have two color schemes (All-Star color and Spurs classic silver-gray), since they were officially released in March, they have set a record of 6.78 million pairs in the first week!

Far exceeding the first week sales of KOBE 4 and James Soldier Series that year!

Among them, Mi Li's home country contributed about 2 million pairs, and the ancient Eastern countries across the ocean and some neighboring countries in Southeast Asia... that is, the Asian market, contributed nearly 5 million pairs of sneaker sales!

The preliminary selection plan for the new color scheme has also been set: based on Joey's"60 points" in this game, a color scheme called"Chicago Night" will be designed.

Taking advantage of Joey's"60 points" popularity, promote it well!

The current two color schemes of the"Gentleman Generation" are priced at US$128 and US$78 by Nike, which are undoubtedly much more affordable than the James 14 (US$267) and AJ 32 The Shot (classic return version, which was only sold at MiLi at the time and priced at US$320) released at the same time.

Excluding costs, Nike has earned at least US$150 million from the gentleman series of sneakers this week!

(MiLi's expensive taxes are not included)

Joey's current influence is evident!

Nike officials, who have tasted the sweetness, also held an emergency meeting overnight to discuss the content of the new contract renewal with Joey in 2014.
