NBA: Magic Johnson opens the season, crowned MOP

After the game with the Warriors, the public opinion in the United States temporarily turned to the Spurs under the"mediation" of the league's top management.

There was no other"secret operation". Mr. Stern was just looking at the contracts for cooperation and endorsement from domestic commercial capitals on his desk one after another, and he felt a little refreshed...

In addition, the day before yesterday, Nike took advantage of this wave of"public opinion" and officially announced the series of sneakers for the league's hottest star, Joey. The popularity of the NBA was"leading the way" in the league for a while. Whether it was the ratings or the popularity of the game, it crushed other sports events of the same period!

When the All-Stars arrived, Stern immediately realized that this was a very good publicity method!

The office of the league president signed a violation agreement on player on-court conflicts. This seemingly useless agreement - because on-court conflicts are rare, the league's top management has cleared up many referees'"home whistles" in recent years."、"

This caused some teams in the league that benefited from the star player bonus and the superstar whistle to have a certain degree of"decline" in their team performance for a period of time after the introduction of this treaty. For example, the Big Three of the South Coast, the"Alley-Oop City" of Los Angeles"……

These two teams are the most affected!

Halfway through the season, the Big Three averaged 22.2 free throws per game, of which Wade averaged 8.4 and James 8.1.

As for the Los Angeles Clippers, Paul averaged 9.7 free throws per game, the most since Michael Jordan in the 1986-87 season.

(A little-known fact is that the bearded player who was later regarded as the"King of Jingdezhen" only averaged 9.2 free throws per game in the season.)

Since the introduction of this treaty, the average free throws per game of the Miami Heat and the Los Angeles Clippers have been reduced by at least 20%.

Since January 18, the Heat, who had originally won three consecutive games, have achieved a rare weekly record of three losses and one win in the four games against the Grizzlies, Kings, Pacers and Knicks in the new week. Among the Big Three, the rushing style of the emperor James and the flash Wade has been"restricted" to a certain extent. After four games, they can only get 7.3 and 6.2 free throws respectively.

Some"superstar whistles" that were originally favorable to them have also disappeared invisibly.

The Clippers are even less mentioned. Chris 58, who has played the most efficient and personal PER performance in his career since the 2007-08 season, is now facing a player who is not as good as Deron Williams. This week

, in the two games against the Nets, he only averaged 13.5 points and 7.5 assists per game. Not to mention that he was crushed by Deron Williams, who scored 18.5 points and 10.5 assists, the Clippers were also double-killed by the Nets this season, and only achieved two wins and two losses this week.

Not only these two teams have been affected, but they are currently the most"typical""victims" of the treaty.

It cannot be said that the changes in the records of these teams are entirely due to the introduction of corresponding regulations by the league.

It's just that Joey's"butterfly effect" himself did not expect that it would have such a big impact.

As for the Spurs where Joey is, within half a month after the league introduced the new regulations, not only was it not affected, but it also made great strides, achieving a good record of 5 wins and 1 loss in the regular season in the second half of January.

The most important reason is that the"No. 21 rookie" who"played dead" for half a season"——Tim Duncan's"recovery"!

After the"court violence incident" at the Warriors Oracle Arena, almost everyone in the outside world has cast their eyes on the Spurs' Asian rookie guard. They can't wait to see this third overall pick with his own"court conflict buff" perform a similar show again.

When the media and the public's original intention of paying attention to the Spurs team is no longer to see the"GDP-educated rising star", but to focus on a rookie who"only stirs up trouble"... that man... no, the strongest"backing" of the Holy City, the man nicknamed"Stone Buddha", has brought the style of this team back on track!
