Owen Johnson was born in Lansing, Michigan. I have been practicing basketball like ecstasy since I was a child. When he was still in middle school, he was called "magician" by reporters in local newspapers because of his excellent basketball skills, so that later generations forgot his real name Owen and replaced him with "magician". Johnson is the most comprehensive point guard in NBA history. At the same time, he can be competent in any position and is an all-round star. Johnson's advancing speed is extremely fast, and his passing skills are varied, which often creates very comfortable offensive opportunities for his teammates. In particular, he can play basketball like a blind chess, completely ignoring his teammates and passing the ball accurately. In high school, Johnson won 1987, 1989 and 1990 with his exaggerated passing style and game style, and became the best rebounding team twice (1982 and 1983). His strong expressive ability and dizzy "expressionless passing" made the "performance time" of Lakers basketball lead the basketball style in the 1980s. Although he and Bird are the closest friends outside the court, they launched a "Lakers vs Celtics" battle for hegemony on the court and attracted millions of fans to watch the NBA. Johnson 1980, Johnson won the first round of the Lakers. Since then, only lebron james won a triple-double in the first playoff game of his career in 2005. At that time, the total score was 3:2, and the Lakers' main center "Karim Abdel-Gabbar" Jabbar was seriously injured in Game 6. The 20-year-old Johnson took his place as the center. In that fierce battle, young Johnson scored 42 points, won 15 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals, and the audience became his performance stage. He led the team to win his first championship ring and won the MVP award in the NBA Finals. During his basketball career, Johnson won three NBA MVP, 1987, 1989 and 1990, and won five championships (1980, 1982, 1985 and. 1992, as co-captains, he and larry bird led the dream team to sweep Barcelona and won his first and last Olympic gold medal. Perhaps Johnson's most classic game was1Game 6 of the NBA Finals held on May 6th, 980. As a rookie, Johnson replaced the injured Jabbar as the center. Although he fought in Philadelphia, he was active in every position on the court and eventually became the absolute leader of that game. A * * * scored 42 points and grabbed 15 rebounds, which was the highest score of the day. Therefore, he defeated the Philadelphia 76ers led by Julius Erving and won the NBA championship that year. From then on, fans all over the country really understood the truth of "magician". After that, he led the Lakers to four championships. 199 1 year, the magician was unfortunately infected with HIV and had to bid farewell to the NBA. But he didn't give in, and gained people's understanding and respect with his sincerity and integrity. Then, on the premise of active treatment, he continued to engage in basketball training and competition, and participated in the Eastern All-Star Game and the 1992 Olympic Games. 1996, Johnson came out of the mountain again after four years and tried his best to accelerate the maturity of the young Lakers. 1March, 997, after examination, Johnson miraculously defeated the terminal illness, and almost no HIV was found in his body. Johnson's tenacity, integrity and tenacity, as well as his excellent basketball skills and consciousness, are valuable assets of world basketball. Johnson went into business after retirement. He runs a national chain cinema, Magic Johnson Cinema, which is currently affiliated to Loews Cinema, but still operates independently. His interest has also expanded to a talk show "Magician Hours" and the acquisition of some Starbucks coffee chains. It is said that Johnson's income from business after retirement has exceeded his salary and advertising income. Few players are really special, and few players can use their extraordinary skills to change his way of sports. Ervin johnson, the magician, is one of them. How great is Johnson? Very good. Perhaps future generations of fans will regret not being born a few years ago, because they can't see the magician's ball with their own eyes, but only his collection. He was robertjoseph cousy in 1950s, oscar robertson in 1960s and Julius Erving in 1970s. Besides, ervin johnson is a revolutionary player. He is the highest point guard in NBA history, 6 feet 9 inches tall. His superhuman talent can even win the surprise and admiration of those who don't watch the ball very often. Whether it's the back pass to James Worthy who is playing fast break, the whistle ball at half time or his charming smile, anyone who has seen the magician play will say that it is an indelible memory in his life. Once he sets foot on that field, everyone will exclaim: How can such a tall man make so many incredible moves? ! Johnson achieved everything that all players dreamed of during his NBA career with the Lakers 13. He is the absolute core of a five-time champion team. He won the MVP of the regular season and the finals three times respectively. He/kloc-was selected to the all-star game 0/2 times and was selected to the best team 9 times. He also broke the career assist record held by oscar robertson at that time. At the same time, he was also a major member of the American Dream Team in the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games. Winning the MVP, his comprehensive performance made people add the word "triple double" to the basketball dictionary. Although oscar robertson was the first person to finish triple doubles in history, unfortunately, in 1960s, no one cared about triple doubles. Johnson reached his present state with his childlike love of sports and competition. His love for basketball completely exceeds the lure of money, fame and achievement. If you want to choose the most amazing aspect of Johnson, it is his gorgeous passing skills. In the fast break, one pass after another, the empty catch across the half-court, the highly rotating pass, and the long pass over 3/4 games stunned the opponents and made the fans crazy. He shot when his opponent thought he was going to pass the ball, but when everyone thought he was going to shoot, he chose to pass the ball again. Former Lakers swingman michael cooper said, "Sometimes when he makes a long pass, I don't know who he will give it to, and then one of my teammates catches the ball and scores." Then I ran back to the backcourt and told him that he'd better find someone in the middle to make a mistake. "1On August 4th, 959, ervin johnson Jr. was born in Lansing, Michigan. He has nine brothers and sisters at home. His father works in a general motors factory and his mother is a school administrator. Little Irwin spent his childhood singing with his friends on street corners, and of course playing ball. This one, called "teenager" or "June bug" by neighbors, still appears on the basketball court at 7: 30 every morning. " He practices almost every day. "In an interview with American Weekly, Johnson said," I beg with my right hand on the way to the store and come back with my left hand. I sleep with a basketball at night. He was first called a "magician" in Everett High School. A sports columnist named this 15-year-old preppie with 36 points 16 rebounds 16 assists. Johnson's mother is a devout Christian, and she thinks this nickname is quite disrespectful to God. As a junior high school student, Johnson led his high school to win the state championship with a score of 27- 1. His score was 28.8 points and 16.8 rebounds. Johnson wanted to go to college where he left home, so he chose Michigan State University. In the first grade, his statistics were dazzling (17.0 points, 7.9 rebounds and 7.4 assists), and he led the team to win the 10th district championship with a record of 25-5. In the second year when he chose the all-American team, Johnson led his team to beat Indiana State University led by Bird and won the national championship in what is considered to be the most classic NCAA tournament in history. At that time, Julius Earving commented on him and said, "The magician is the kind of player who can still control the game even if he has only three shots in a game. "After completing the requirements that the university must meet, he gave up his last two years of study and directly participated in the 1979 draft. Utah Jazz should be lucky, but they traded this draft pick to the Lakers when they signed Gail Goodrich three years ago. So that year, the Lakers chose Johnson with the first pick. At that time, the Lakers were also undergoing a major shake-up: Jack McKinney became the new coach of the team, Jerry Buss became the new boss, and Johnson was dressed as one of the seven new faces in the lineup. Buss hopes that the Lakers' stable fans can end their boring days and get back on their feet. "Performance time" was born. The fans who were lucky enough to witness Johnson's first game saw Johnson's crazy performance in the later stage of his career for the first time. After beating the San Diego Clippers with Abdel-Gabbar's winning goal, Johnson went crazy. He gave everyone a high five and a bear hug. In that case, everyone thought that he might lose control at any time. Finally, even Abdul-Jabbar advised him to calm down, because after all, there are still 865,438+0 games to play-they haven't counted the playoffs yet. The best rookie of the season went to larry bird, but the Lakers won the championship. The Lakers won the Western Conference championship with a record of 60 wins and 22 losses, which is the second best record in the league. (After 0/4 games in the regular season/KLOC-0, Paul Westhead replaced McKinney, who was injured in a car accident, as the team coach. In 77 games, Johnson's data is simply a copy of his high school data (18.0 points, 7.7 rebounds and 7.3 assists). He was selected as the starting player of the best rookie team and became another player selected as a rookie in the All-Star Game after Irwin Hayes 1 1 years ago. In the 1980 finals against the 76ers, Johnson's performance in the crucial sixth inning has become a classic. Abdel-Gabbar scored 40 points in the fourth game in Philadelphia and had to miss the sixth game because of a serious ankle injury. 20-year-old rookie Johnson replaced him as the main center. With his Xiaotian hook and rebound, he scored 42 points 15 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals, which finally helped the Lakers win. He even opened the jump ball for the Lakers Johnson also became the first rookie finals MVP in history. This is also a favorable example of how he helped the Lakers win in different ways. When Westheide described his little rookie to LA Times, he said, "At first, we all thought he was a vase-level player, but later we found out that he could really bring us a lot of help and energy. It's as amazing as discovering that a plastic surgeon can repair a bulldozer. " The second season was cruel for Johnson and the Lakers. In the first month of the game, 7-2 Hawks center Tom Burleson pressed on Johnson's knee, causing him to miss the next 45 games. He paid for the Lakers' 2-of-3 playoff shooting against the Rockets, but 65,438+03 only made 2 shots and threw an air ball at the end of the third game. The Lakers lost the game 86-89 and the series. 198 1-82 season, the Lakers began to rebound, won the Pacific championship again, defeated the 76 ers 4-2 in the finals again, and Johnson became the MVP in the finals again. But something ugly happened in that season. At the beginning of the season, Westheide hoped to adjust the offensive system, which the magician thought would weaken his role in the team. In many reports, Johnson rushed into the rest area after a game and shouted, "I can't play here, I want to leave, I want to be traded." Reporters waited for Johnson to say it was just a joke, but he didn't come forward to clarify. The next day, Westheide was fired and his teaching assistant Pat Riley took office. In Riley's first game, when the players introduced themselves, the fans of the Western Forum booed Johnson. Later in Seattle, every time I touched the ball, I was ridiculed by the fans. For the first time in my life, I lost the all-star vote without injury. It was not until his gorgeous performance in the playoffs that he finally silenced the most radical people. On the court, Johnson always performs well. He won the steal king for the second time, and his score was no less than 17.6 points, 5.9 rebounds 10.5 assists in all seasons after that. In the two years after Westheide's class, the magician's personal performance was quite good, but the Lakers had a hard time. Johnson won the first two single-season assists in his career during this period, and continued to consolidate his already excellent all-round play. However, in the NBA Finals of 1982-83 season, the Lakers once again faced the last 76ers, norm nixon, James Worthy and Bob mcadoo, who were all plagued by injuries and were swept out by their opponents. 1984 before the finals between Johnson and Jabbar, Nixon had left the team, and Jabbar was nearly 40 years old. Magic signed a contract worth 25 million yuan for 25 years. That year's finals was the lowest point of Johnson's career. His last-minute mistakes in Games 2, 4 and 7 cost the Lakers the game. When Johnson started to improve his outside shooting percentage and set a record for assists, the Lakers won the championship three times in the next four years. The first link comes from their 1985 revenge war against Celtic. In the first game, 148- 1 14 was completely defeated by the opponent in the famous "Memorial Day Massacre" game, the Lakers rebounded strongly and won the championship in the sixth game. This victory at Celtic's home also made them finally get rid of the shadow of losing to their opponents eight times in a row since Minneapolis. 1986-87 season, because Abdel-Gabbar missed many games due to eye disease, Johnson did what many scouts thought he could not do: score. He scored 38 points against the Rockets and a career-high 46 points against the Kings. 23.9 points per game is also the highest in my career. In that season, Johnson was named the most valuable player in the tournament. This award has kept him waiting for eight years. Bird has won it three times before. Johnson really wants to win this prize. Before announcing the final winner, Johnson told the Los Angeles Times: "Now, he is 3-0. This makes me a little crazy. " (He finally tied Bird with 1989 and 1990 MVP awards. Johnson also won the MVP of 1987 finals after defeating Celtic 4-2. That year was also the year when Johnson completely replaced Abdel-Gabbar as the team leader. Abdel-Jabbar, a 40-year-old center, teaches his favorite student bullfighting acrobatics in the team. Johnson was able to use this technique flexibly soon, and with this technique, he scored the winning goal of 107- 106 in the fourth game of the finals. That victory also directly led to the Lakers' second victory over the Celtics in three years. 1988 the Lakers won the pistons in seven games, becoming the first team to win the championship in a row after the 68-69 season. In the next two years, Johnson averaged more than 20 points per game and led the Lakers to win the Western Conference championship in succession. 1988-89 season, Abdel-Gabbar's last season, Johnson suffered a hamstring injury in the finals, and the Lakers were swept by mature pistons in the finals. The following year, the Lakers went out first in nine years and were defeated by the Suns in the semi-finals of the division. Johnson's performance in 1990-9 1 season helped the Lakers achieve a record of 58 wins and 24 losses. After defeating the Trailblazers led by clyde drexler in the Western Conference finals, the Lakers reached the finals again. Although 1-4 finally lost to MJ's Bulls, the magician still achieved the feat of 12' s 9 finals. Before the 9 1-92 season, the news that magicians chose to retire because they tested positive for HIV shocked the world. However, he still qualified for the All-Star Game that year, leading the West to win by 153- 1 13, and won the MVP. Because he popularized the knowledge of AIDS prevention, he also won the J. Walter Kennedy Citizen Award that year. Former Lakers coach mike dunleavy commented: "Some people think he is just a legend on the court, but now he has become a fighter for his beliefs." Even when he was infected with HIV, the smile on his face never disappeared. Jack Knoll said: "The greatest thing about magic is that it brings human courage to the level of God. We think he is one of the best people, and no one will not like magic. " Johnson participated in the Barcelona Olympic Games on behalf of the Dream Team in 1992, wrote a book about safe sex, started his career as a businessman, became a TV commentator for NBC, and tried to buy an NBA team. With 1993-94 season remaining 16 games, he replaced randy pfund as the head coach of the Lakers. Led by Johnson's passion, the team began to attack the playoffs, and the Lakers quickly won five consecutive victories. But when the team lost five of the next six games, Johnson announced that he would not return to the Lakers as head coach next season. "I want to go home," he told the Associated Press. "Being a coach has never been my dream. I want to own a team and become a businessman. He must fight for your dream. " 1994, Johnson realized his dream and became one of the Lakers. 1995, he participated in another business activity. He opened chain cinemas in several areas of Los Angeles and gave some speeches there. He also joined the Speaker Basketball Team (a team composed of former NBA and college players) and entertained fans all over the world in Asia and Australia. Johnson statue outside Staples Center, but he didn't completely abandon the NBA. After resting for four and a half seasons, he played 32 games for the Lakers in back in the game in the second half of his 1995-96 season. At that time, his weight had reached 255 Jin, and he appeared more at power forward than at point guard. Johnson announced his retirement again after the Lakers were eliminated by the Rockets in the first round of the playoffs. During Johnson 13 NBA career, he scored 17707 points (19.5 per game), 6,559 rebounds (7.2),10/41assists (/Kloc He also holds the All-Star Game record of 65,438+027 assists and 65,438+00 three-pointers. 1996-97 season, Johnson was selected as one of the top 50 NBA50 superstars. In 2002, he was inducted into the naismith Hall of Fame. Is he the greatest player of his time? Another great player thinks he is. "Magic is beyond anyone's reach," larry bird told The Chicago Journal. "I have never seen such an excellent person as him."
