NBA: Magic Johnson opens the season, crowned MOP

He was the first to rush onto the court, and before anyone could react, he pushed Howard away, got into a boxing stance, and was about to perform the classic scene of the"chocolate bomb".

At this time, the Lakers players and referees surrounded them, and just as they were about to pull the two apart, a silver-gray figure flashed by.

Artest, who was closest to Howard and Kobe, felt that a"big rat" suddenly appeared in front of him, and then kicked Howard behind him away.

They were also carried away by this huge force while holding Howard.

It was Joey!

Everyone could see clearly who was coming. It was the Spurs' No. 3 player who was attacked and lying on the ground, rookie Joey.

There was excitement in his eyes. The originally honest man seemed to be possessed by something all of a sudden. He rushed up and gave Howard, who had just climbed up, a knee strike——

"Bang--Puff!"

The iron-hard knee hit Howard's chin, and the fragile chin collapsed at the touch. Howard fell backwards in front of everyone's horrified eyes, and several unknown particles with blood glided in the air for a while...

Howard was hit hard, and after the severe pain, he lost consciousness, his eyes went black, and his huge body fell to the ground!

Everyone was stunned. No one expected that the Spurs' seemingly harmless and even shy Asian rookie would have such a swift and decisive skill?

""Quick, team doctor, call the team doctor!"

Kobe, who had the strongest mental quality, reacted instantly and shouted loudly.

Groups of security personnel and medical staff from the player channel came to the scene with stretchers.

The referees also hurriedly cleared the scene for the medical staff of Staples Center, leaving enough space to carry the person away.

The court was in chaos in an instant. The reporters on the sidelines raised their cameras like sharks smelling blood, and the spotlights were"praising, praising, praising" and shooting randomly. There were also many fans in the audience who were frightened by the bloody scene, but they still pretended to be calm and took out their mobile phones from their pockets to take secret photos.

The security personnel immediately evacuated the crowd and took the unconscious man away. Howard was carried out of the arena and sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.

Anyone who knows a little about first aid can see that this guy suffered a heavy blow to the jaw. If he is not sent to the hospital for treatment in time, he may be left with lifelong disabilities.

After nearly ten minutes of hard work, the court was temporarily restored to order. The Lakers team management on the sidelines has reported the matter to the league's top management.

The technical desk also made a penalty for Joey - a second-degree flagrant foul, expulsion!

This penalty instantly caused dissatisfaction among the Spurs players, and old man Popovich was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick. He walked up to the technical desk staff, slammed the table and shouted angrily:

"My player was attacked by terrorists at your home stadium and his career was almost ruined. He was just acting in self-defense. What was wrong with him? It was that idiot who started it first!"

"Why didn't you expel him when he attacked Duncan half an hour ago? You are shielding the murderer and sentencing my player to a second-degree flagrant foul. Are you, the Lakers, so blatantly ignoring the league's rules?"

"……"

The old man's"righteous" look reminds people of the scene in the 2007 playoffs when Bowen, a player of the Spurs, was criticized by the head coaches of all the league teams in a joint statement after he eliminated AI and Nash. He defended Bowen at the press conference. The same tough attitude!

The staff of the technical desk of Staples Center secretly complained, brother, your rookie directly knocked out the Lakers' center and three consecutive DPOY Howard!

Looking at the entire NBA history, are there any examples of opponents being beaten to vomit blood and unconscious on the court?

Well, Thompson's elbow knocking out his brain doesn't count, even the notorious and evil Bad Boys didn't do the elbowing of Jordan, right?

Your rookie is so good, he directly knocked the league's No. 1 center to the hospital in an emergency, and his career may be ruined for life. Are you still complaining to us?

Don't you look at the"glorious record" of the Spurs under your rule in the past!

While Popovich was furious, Joey was escorted back to the locker room by the staff.

Why"escort"?

Because the angry Lakers fans at Staples Center were capable of anything - used beverage bottles, soaked popcorn, all kinds of beer... even one or two panties of Lakers female fans were thrown down and hit him on the head.

Joey returned to the locker room and told the staff that he was in a good mood and would not do anything radical, and asked them to leave first.

The staff obviously did not believe him, but there was nothing they could do. After all, their existence was to serve NBA players, so they eventually left the locker room, but did not go far. They just stayed outside the locker room to prevent Joey from"running wild" again.

After all, it would be too easy for a man who could face down a 6.9-foot, 264-pound (120kg) big guy.

Joey calmed down, the adrenaline rush gradually disappeared, and his rapidly beating heart slowly calmed down.……

【Congratulations to the host, the world free fighting champion Sitthichai experience card has ended, reward: ten years of free fighting experience】

【Implantation……】

A vast amount of memories flooded into Joey's mind, and his limbs seemed to be injected with some kind of muscle memory.

He was a little surprised that after using the"Sitthichai Experience Card" that he exchanged for 3,000 honor points in the system mall, there was actually a reward?

And it was ten years of free fighting experience!

This was a big surprise.

Soon, he saw through the live TV in the locker room that the Spurs won the game with 111:107.

Even without Howard, Kobe still forced a crucial three-pointer over Leonard's head, but with Parker standing up at the last moment and breaking through to make a foul and making two free throws, the Lakers could only regretfully swallow the bitter fruit of the sixth loss of the season at home.

The San Antonio Spurs started the next five consecutive away games with a record of six wins and one loss.

At the press conference after the game, when the Los Angeles media reporter righteously asked Popovich whether Joey's violent behavior was part of the Spurs' usual style on the court, he was scolded by the old man.

After the press conference, many Los Angeles media reporters blocked the corridor in front of the Spurs' away locker room, and the security personnel couldn't drive them away.

They raised their cameras and didn't miss any Spurs players coming in and out:

"Tim, what do you think of your little brother's brutal behavior today?"

"Do you think this is the usual style of your Silver-Gray Army, Tony?"

"If Dwight hadn't hurt Tim first, would you still have hurt our Mr. Beast? Joey"

"……"

The Los Angeles media is the most efficient in the United States, and is also known for being a"unscrupulous reporter" who dares to exaggerate any topic and report it.

With Popovich's gag order in advance, the Spurs players kept their mouths shut and refused to talk about this matter.

But when they returned to the locker room, these old guys with restless factors hidden in their bones jumped up and down in the locker room like happy rabbits:

"Hey boy, you are so cool today. Send that big idiot directly to see him!"

"Cool rookie, your knee hit me right in the heart……"

"Oh my god Joey, you know what the LA media is calling you now?"

"Gentleman thug……"

"What a cool and domineering nickname! Rookie, you are really the most powerful rookie I have ever seen!"

"Let me guess, right now there are probably thousands of Lakers fans blocking outside the Staples Center, waiting for you to get out and then kill you, hahaha!"

"It's not just Manu, now Instagram and Twitter are probably full of videos of him killing Dwight……"

This group of bad old guys surrounded Joey and"ridiculed" him mercilessly, and threatened him that President Stern would definitely suspend him and impose additional fines!

I thought that Joey, who was young and energetic and had just entered the league, would be scared, but he was still calm and even sent a message to the team's physical therapist saying that he wanted to get a massage... This instantly made these old birds who were watching the fun lose interest.

At this time, Duncan came over and sat next to Joey:

"Send me your bank card number and I will pay the league's fine for you.……"

Joey was stunned and didn't say anything. The old birds of the Spurs team beside him looked at them with a smile.

"Let me do it, Tim. Joey has been my little brother since he joined the team!"

Manu sat on the other side of Joey, hugged the latter's neck and said with a smirk.

"Come on Manu, Joey always follows me during training, I am his guide and teacher……"

Unexpectedly, the French sports car who scored a game-high 29 points also spoke up:

"If the league imposes an additional fine, I will pay it for him!"

The Spurs teammates, especially the newcomers Baynes and last year's rookie Joseph, stared with their eyes wide open in disbelief - the three big guys on the team"GDP"All rushing to pay the fine for this rookie?

He instantly felt unbalanced -

Damn, we are all rookies, how come you, a rookie, can make the veterans"go around in circles" around you?

Joey looked at the three bright smiling faces, and was stunned for a moment. An inexplicable warmth surged in his heart. Just as he was about to refuse, the door of the locker room was suddenly pushed open - bang!

Everyone's attention was attracted, and the old man with Holzer walked in with a gloomy expression. He looked like he was in a bad mood, and the air pressure in the locker room dropped to the extreme in an instant.

The old man walked in and first glanced at everyone, then walked up to Duncan, looked at him carefully for a moment, and when he saw that he was fine, he reached out and patted the latter on the shoulder.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, he turned to face Joey, and the two looked at each other, with expressions that could not tell whether they were happy or angry.

The old man suddenly stretched out his hand, and Joey was stunned.

"Give me your bank card number, or the league will fine you 15,000 US dollars!"

All the Spurs players were stunned, not because the league issued a penalty decision on Joey so quickly, but because head coach Popovich actually wanted to fine Joey, a rookie! Is there still justice? Is there still law?

Others don't know, but at this moment, a mysterious song from the ancient oriental country has already sounded in the hearts of Baynes, Joseph and others - snowflakes are fluttering... the north wind is blowing... a cut of winter plum……

"Sir, you are going to pay for me too?"

Seeing Joey's surprised look, the GDP Big Three were also stunned, then looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Popovich frowned:

"Someone else wants to pay your fine?"

After Manu explained the whole story, the old man couldn't help laughing, and at the same time he was glad that the atmosphere within the Spurs team has always been so harmonious.……

"So Joey, do you have the money to pay the fine now?"

Popovich asked.

Joey thought about it:

"I talked to Nike about the commercial endorsement……"

Before the game started, Joey formally proposed to Bill Duffy that he wanted to sign a 2-year, 22 million USD sneaker endorsement contract with the Nike team.

After two and a half hours of communication between the two teams, Nike finally agreed to the contract. The Nike headquarters in Oregon will send a professional team to sign a contract with Joey the day after tomorrow.

In other words, Joey is now a millionaire.
