NBA: Magic Johnson opens the season, crowned MOP

As the league enters February, the regular season schedules of each team will become looser, with the interval between each game generally being three or four days.

Of course, this is also to allow the league to give players a certain"buffer" from the fatigue and some inevitable minor injuries caused by the tight schedule in the first three months."……

All the All-Star Games (in February) are a rare"mid-season break" for the players.

After the longest road trip in February, the Spurs will return to their home court on the 11th to prepare for the match against the Chicago Bulls.

From the outside, there is almost no suspense in this game.

After all, one side is the Spurs, a veteran powerhouse that ranks first in the West and second in the league, and the other side is the"civilian" Bulls who lost their MVP but showed amazing"resilience" with unity.

(Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the third most powerful team in history is a commoner, it's just that Chicago during this period was indeed"dim in starlight.")

Derrick Rose, the Bulls' star player and the youngest regular season MVP in NBA history, announced before the start of the season that he had"torn his right knee cruciate ligament."

After losing Rose, the"backbone" and leader, the Chicago Bulls did not sink.

Instead, under the leadership of league veterans such as Nate Robinson, Hamilton and Boozer, the team achieved a record of 31 wins and 17 losses, and currently ranks fifth in the Eastern Conference.

The team has experienced veterans such as Boozer and Robinson, as well as Butler and Noah, several passionate young people with potential.

The qualities and future shown by this Bulls team are what Chicagoans have infinite expectations for...

As soon as the game started, the Bulls who came from afar dealt a heavy blow to the Spurs - swish-swish-swish.

In three consecutive offensive rounds, Belinelli and Luol Deng made three three-pointers over Leonard's head.

The Spurs were called to a timeout, and during the timeout, San Antonio fans in the audience suddenly began to shout"Joey's" name.

Before this game, Popovich announced that the team's rookies Joey and Duncan would have to miss this week's three regular season games because of"serious wear and tear on the knees due to consecutive away games."

Yes, you heard it right.

Sima Laozei gave Duncan and Joey a rest for all the games before the All-Star Weekend at once.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the old thief just wanted to give the two players in the team who were selected as All-Star starters this year a"holiday", but it's hard to say what to do.

Joey doesn't need to be mentioned. Except for the five games he was suspended for this season, he almost played in all the remaining fifty regular season games. Why don't you give him a break or two?

As for the"No. 21 Rookie" of the Holy City"……

Come on, he is 37 years old this year. At the age of 37, which is almost at the end of his career, he can still lead the team to a record of 44 wins and 11 losses. What else do you want him to do?

I don’t know what the Spurs fans think. Stern is furious, but he really can’t come up with any good ideas to cure Popovich’s"evil spirit"!

He has tried all the methods he can think of, including fines, and the rules for targeted rest of players have also been revised...

But Sima Laozi just put the"rest" issue on the table for you, so that you can’t punish it harshly. After all, professional athletes are"troubled" by injuries. The problems that the Spurs have in the season also exist in the other 29 teams. As the saying goes, if the law does not punish everyone, then everyone will rebel, and if they rebel, then...

So we can only condemn him a few words on the level of professional ethics, but we can’t force him to fuck the players to death, right?

Popovich has been in the NBA for more than 20 years, almost catching up with the number of years Stern has been in office. How does the president think? How can the old thief not know?

But being helpless doesn't mean that the president can't think of a way to"disgust" him.

So the Spurs, who lost Joey and Duncan, with the help of some"uncontrollable" factors, successfully took the victory from San Antonio with a score of 109:100 against the Bulls, who were in hot form in this game.

Throughout the game, the Bulls' Nate Robinson alone got half as many free throws as the Spurs.

In addition, the Bulls' outside players such as Luol Deng were in hot form, and the old Spurs, who had lost their outside defensive gates and inside pillars, also received a"signal" from coach Popovich."……

The win or loss of a regular season game is just a matter of letting it go.

In this game, only four Spurs players scored in double digits, including Parker 28 points, Manu 25 points, Green 14 points, and Leonard 16 points. The rest scored points.

On the Bulls side, Nate Robinson scored 16 free throws and 26 points to lead the team to win the game. He also had 3 steals on the defensive end.

Luol Deng and Noah grabbed a total of 27 rebounds in the Spurs' interior without Duncan, including 12 offensive rebounds, and were the main contributors to the Bulls' victory.

Hamilton, Luol Deng, and Belinelli on the outside made a total of 7 three-pointers, which put great pressure on the Spurs on the offensive end.

What is worth noting for Joey, who was watching the game, is that Jimmy Butler, who scored 9 points with five shots in this game, is the guy who looks more like Jordan than Jordan's own son...

No one could have imagined that he would become the iron-blooded leader of the Bulls in the post-Rose era, and later led the Miami Heat to the finals twice, becoming a veritable"tough guy superstar".

After the game, Hollywood teenage star Selena, who appeared in the first row of the ATT Arena with Joey, once again attracted the attention of the gossip media.

After Joey and Leonard high-fived the Bulls players, Selena hugged Joey's arm affectionately, with a smile on her face, and generously let the many spotlights on the sidelines take pictures.

Joey, who was hugged, looked at Jimmy Butler who was secretly observing the situation not far away, and then looked at the female star"P friend" beside him, feeling a little weird:

If he remembered correctly, Butler seemed to have had a"dew-like relationship" with Selena that was disclosed by the media in the future? Did he count as stealing someone's girlfriend in advance?

There was no time to think about this question. As soon as the game was over, they ignored the paparazzi chasing them.

Selena grabbed Joey, who was about to exchange game experience with Leonard, and the two quickly went to the underground garage of the ATT Arena and went straight to Joey's apartment in the Holy City. After not seeing her for nearly two months, our Disney actress"missed" her to death.

"GDP"The Spurs players, led by the trio, all showed indescribable"smirks" on their faces.

Tonight was destined to be a"bloody night" for the rookies. Coach Popovich would never have thought that he would open the"convenience door" for Joey to rest and prepare for the All-Star Weekend - but in the end, it benefited a certain Hollywood teenage star...
