NBA: Magic Johnson opens the season, crowned MOP

On May 7, after the Game 7 between the Bulls and the Nets, a piece of news came out without warning - the Spurs officially announced that they would hold a press conference at 7:00 p.m. tonight at the AT&T Arena!

The media, like sharks smelling blood, swarmed into the team's locker room as if they had guessed that there was some big news.

Having just finished a relaxing and enjoyable practice, the old guys of the Spurs liked to sit in the sub-zero liquid nitrogen tank at this time, bragging and chatting with each other, and talking about the league's latest"news"."……

"Rookie, step down a bit……"

Manu lay on the massage bed,"commanding" Joey who was massaging him to relax him and constantly changing positions.

After more than two months of recovery, Manu's left arm has basically recovered and he can participate in some simple team training.

Joey was silent and let the old man do what he wanted. After all, he is now the"uncle" and has a"great favor" to Joey."！

"Hey!"

"Don't make a dead face, you little bastard……"

Manu turned his head and said"vicious" words, but his expression was very frivolous.——

"Who should you thank the most for becoming the first person in history to win both the Rookie of the Year and Sixth Man of the Year awards?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Manu has repeated this sentence for the 26th time today. Every time Joey shows"impatient""、"The old man used this sentence to"kidnap" him when he saw any sign of"resistance".

Every time, he made his teammates on the Spurs laugh. They were very comfortable watching Joey"unconditionally" serve the Argentine vultures."

"Manu, how long are you going to torture our best rookie?"

"Could it be that the team is so poor that it has to fire all the masseurs and let the players take on the task of relaxing and massaging after the game?……"

"I think what Manu needs is not your massage, but your comfort to his restless and lonely heart in the middle of the night!"

"Oh my! Our best rookie is blushing. I didn't know you would be shy after defeating Dwight?"

"What's wrong? I'm worried that Hollywood actresses will fall deeply in love with you again, just like they were cursed by a medieval witch, because you won this award.……"

"……"

The unscrupulous and shameless old-timers made unscrupulous jokes, the content of which is not suitable for children.

Look at the naked people sitting in the frozen liquid nitrogen tank, shivering with cold, but dare not go out."T—600" robot knows how"dirty" these old guys are."……

At this moment, Joey had no time to pay attention to these unscrupulous predecessors. After satisfying Manu's various"weird" requests, he picked up his clothes and went to the player shower room in the locker room.

【Congratulations to the host for winning the 12-13 season"Rookie of the Year" (ROY) honor. Rewards: Badge Pack*1 (Choose 1 from 7 unknown badges), Badge Upgrade*1, Free Attribute Points*20, Honor Points*5000】

【Congratulations to the host for winning the 12-13 season"Best Sixth Man of the Year" (SOY) honor, reward: historical super sixth man"Crawford Star Card" *1]

In the first regular season of his career, Joey averaged 17.1 points, 8.7 assists, 5.2 rebounds, 2.4 steals and 1.3 blocks per game, and was named the"Steals King" of this season."！

"Open the badge package!"

Joey did not hesitate. Soon, seven gleaming copper badges appeared in front of him, namely:

Copper Ball-Holding Defense Elite (enhances the degree of defensive interference and reduces the opponent's player's shooting accuracy)

Copper Fast Break Initiator (slightly improves the accuracy of the first pass after the player grabs the defensive rebound)

Copper Dodge Terminator (improves the player's ability to collect the ball and dodge the defense under the basket and avoid physical confrontation and attack the basket)

Copper Elite Rebounder (improves the player's ability to rush for rebounds, instantly increases the bounce attribute by 3 points, burst by 3 points, and agility by 3 points)

Copper Positioning Master (slightly helps the player predict the landing point of the rebound in advance and improves the player's positioning effect)

Copper Sharpshooter (in the case of interference (In this case, improve mid-range shooting by 3 points and three-point shooting by 2 points)

Bronze·Fake pass master (instantly enhance the player's control over the ball and make more realistic fake passes)

Joey's pores quickly dilated under the stimulation of the hot water. The muscle soreness accumulated from the high-intensity shooting training in recent days was relaxed at this moment. He just felt extremely comfortable and happy!

He quickly made a choice -

Bronze·Ball-holding defensive elite!

He knew very well what his ultimate goal in this team was!

Help the team defend the Little Emperor and Wade in the finals and cut off their connection with their teammates. To put it bluntly, he is an enhanced version of"Leonard" in organizing shooting.

It's just that what he can do now is better than Kawhi Leonard. Just more comprehensive and more outstanding... so he chose the only defensive badge in the badge package without hesitation.

This may also be the most useful defensive badge Joey has ever obtained! It is much more practical than"Death Coil" in the game, because Death Coil is simply a defensive badge with bonus attributes, and the ball-holding defensive elite directly interferes with the opponent's shot from a"metaphysical" perspective.

This means that as long as you stand in front of the offensive player, even if you do nothing, you can reduce his shooting percentage!

In short, this is a bug-level defensive badge!

This badge will effectively amplify Joey's assist and backup defense capabilities, which is very helpful for his relatively weak interior defense on the defensive end. It has a great"bonus" effect in many aspects.

On the defensive end, he has the qualifications to compete for the top defender in the league!

Joey has now achieved true"offense and defense in one"!

As for the opportunity to upgrade the badge, Joey thought for a moment and finally decided to upgrade the ball protection master to a silver badge.

Because after playing a round of series, Joey's most intuitive feeling is that in the playoffs where the level of confrontation has obviously risen by several levels, the players' mistakes tend to multiply. At this time, a control badge of at least silver level is needed to ensure Joey's stable"output" on the offensive end!

After all, how can you score a goal if you can't even hold the ball steadily?

Joey immersed his whole body in the bathtub, silently chanting in his heart——

"Deep Blue, add points!"

(Layup: 80-85 Three-pointer: 80-85 Speed: 81-85 Explosion: 80-85 Bounce: 82-83)

…………

At 7pm, Joey walked into the press conference with the Spurs' chief press officer.

The entire media reception room was already full of people. As soon as Joey entered, the spotlights in front of the media cameras flashed like crazy.

Joey was dazzled for a moment and subconsciously felt a little reserved until he saw the team's big brother and familiar team management sitting on the stage -

Duncan, Manu, Parker, Popovich、RC·Buford and team owner Pete Holt have already taken their seats.

In front of the stage, a trophy-like object wrapped in a yellow curtain is placed in front of the media reporters.

"Dear media friends, dear guests and friends,……"

Joey had just sat down, and before he could even get comfortable, RC Buford and the chief press officer exchanged glances. The latter walked to the trophy, pulled back the curtain, revealing the bronze trophy with the words"Player Shooting" on it, and announced loudly:

"On behalf of the NBA and the San Antonio Spurs, I would like to announce that after 117 votes from media reporters and sports announcers from the United States and Canada, Spurs rookie Joey was elected the 12-13 season's best sixth man of the year with a high vote of 337 points!"

There was thunderous applause from the audience, and everyone turned their eyes to Joey, who was sitting on the right side of Duncan on the stage.

The latter took a deep breath, then stood up and calmly took the trophy representing the"best sixth man" from the team owner.

Joey bowed to express his gratitude, touched the trophy that felt cold in his hand, and said a few words in a sincere and sincere tone to thank Popovich, Duncan, Manu and others for their advice and help. Then, after answering a few questions from the reporters in the audience, he hurriedly ended the press conference...

The reason is that the Spurs may hold such a press conference again in two days, because - at

12 noon on May 8, after announcing the winner of the best sixth man of the year yesterday, the league officially announced the final winner of the best rookie of the year (ROY)!
