'It's great that we've won all of our pre-season games and the players have been fantastic, but it's just the beginning, the regular season is the beginning.

Harris smiled and accepted the post-game interview, and after crushing the Seattle SuperSonics again, the Lakers' performance up and down made the Silver Foxes very satisfied.

It's not just the progress of OK.

The improvement of Eddie Jones and Bowen's defense, Xiaoyu's more experienced three-point shooting and defensive pressing, Big Ben's stronger body, and a group of veterans, the lineup system built with OK as the core is simply perfect.

From starters to benches, there are plenty of players who have the ability to play in high-intensity play. The addition of veteran Mullin gives Horry more freedom to change positions, allowing him to start without worrying about being a substitute or continuing to be the team's sixth man. It can be said that the appearance of Mullin has scored a lot of points to take the pressure on Horry.

Substitute Xiaoyu, Old Curry, Mullin, Horry, Big Ben's super small lineup is simply terrifying!

With four shooters and a top-tier co-defender, the three-point storm is extremely formidable.

This lineup actually allowed Kobe Bryant to see the shadow of the Warriors of later generations, isn't this the poor man's version of the Warriors Death Five?

The Lakers have more people who can play! The system is more abundant! This is the biggest change for the Lakers this season!

Harris can arrange the lineup as he wants, and he already has several lineup systems in mind that can be arranged.

"The goal? The goal for this year? Harris pushed his glasses.

"Championship, of course!"

"Championship, no kidding. As long as I am here, Kobe Bryant will not win the championship! "Carl Marlon is in high spirits!

The moment he traded Hornacek to the Suns in the offseason and got Richmond from the Kings, Karl Malone knew that the Jazz, the heyday of the franchise's history, had arrived.

When Jordan and Pippen had a very unpleasant quarrel with the management, and Phil Jackson was even directly confirmed to leave the Bulls, Malone understood that the best chance to win the championship had come!

This season will be the best championship window in Malone's life, and Richmond who can't win the championship will not necessarily stay in Utah's position next year.

From the Jazz players to the management's welcome statements, Richmond didn't say much to see that he wasn't too happy with his career in Utah. And the stingy team owner may not necessarily spend a lot of money to renew Richmond's contract next year, so there is only one chance to win the championship! That's this year!

Winning the MVP last year made Ma Long's ambition start to grow!

It's not just MVP this year!

FMVP, I want it too!

31 October 1997.

The opening night of the new season of professional basketball!

The blockbuster event is the Bulls vs. the Celtics.

Jordan led the team alone against the Celtics led by the legendary NCAA coach Pitino and composed of Bird II Van Horne, Maddy, and Fathead.

Spurs vs. Nuggets.

This year's super rookie, known as the Lord of the Rings and Big Dream's combined Tim Duncan's debut.

Hawks vs. Magic.

How are the Magic Twins running in under Chuck Daley? What will happen against the Commons powerhouse coached by Wilkens in the East?

Then the most eye-catching thing is the Lakers vs. Jazz.

The Great Western Forum Arena is still full of people on this day!

The Lakers players walked out of the tunnel and each one drew a lot of cheers.

"New season! Here we go! A cheer from the magicians, the 1997-1998 season officially began.

"Welcome to my new commentary partner! Collins! ”

"Hello everyone." After being fired by the Pistons, Collins didn't have a team that invited him to coach, but he was tired of the high-intensity work on the court, and coaching was not as simple as 996. So he chose to join NBC and formed a commentary group with magicians. Love to read

"The starting lineups are out!"

"Lakers: Kobe, Jones, Horry, Big Ben, O'Neal!"

"Jazz: Stockton, Richmond, Russell, Malone, Ostertag!"

"Change formation! The Lakers directly chose the combination of Big Ben and O'Neal, and in order to avoid too little space, they put Horry on the court. Harris seems to have a very good memory of last year's playoffs, and this roster system is the best system to stifle new MVP Karl Malone. ”

"Target! This is a lineup for Karl Malone, Big Ben, a newcomer, performed very well last year, I wonder if he has improved after an offseason? ”

"There must be, I heard that the Lakers' youngsters and Kobe Bryant have built a Mamba Academy together, and many newcomers have gone to participate, anyway, just looking at the block, the big book has swelled a big circle!"

"Big Ben feels more like playing rugby, and he doesn't have to be inferior to a top muscular guy like Karl Malone, knowing he's in 2nd grade! It's hard to imagine what kind of body shape Daiben will be like when he reaches the peak of his body in 2 or 3 years. ”

"Kobe, you lost this game." Karl Malone provoked.

"Oh? Is it? Bryant was noncommittal.

"Look! We've added Mickey! We've got three superstars on the team now, and you've only got two! 3 is greater than 2, you know. ”

"Huh." Kobe Bryant looked at Malone with an idiot's eyes, 3 is greater than 2? If only basketball were that simple!

I can beat all three of you with just one!

"The Jazz's roster system is the strongest in team history, and it's hard to find fault with it from offense to defense." Collins spoke, showing a look of envy, if last year's Pistons could have such a lineup system, he would not have been dropped.

"The Galactic Battleship. The Galaxy Battleship, which has been blowing the Jazz this season, if Houston, which will definitely ski in the regular season, is discharged, then the Jazz's lineup on paper is the strongest in the league. ”

"It's flawless, it's too perfect for a lineup."

"But what is perfect is often destroyed in a way that no one expected." The magician's eyes looked at Kobe Bryant with a look of anticipation.

The referee threw the ball high over the Great Western Forum Arena, and the game began with the retired jerseys of countless Hall of Fame superstars and countless WORLDCHAMPION logos.

O'Neal crushed the racket to Kobe.

Jump the ball domineeringly!

Kobe Bryant dribbled steadily forward.

Who's going to guard me?

Richmond!

The rock has a gritty face, this is his first game in his new team, and he has to give it his all for the sake of the team's status!

The basketball jumps back and forth in Kobe's hands.

Pick-and-roll!

and Horry's pick-and-roll Kobe Bryant went straight into the middle range.

Richmond looped back and blocked Bryant at the free-throw line.

On the confrontation!

Boobs resist Kobe!

The corners of Kobe's mouth are slightly hooked, and he thinks I'm as thin as last year?

Jump!

Adjust in the air!

Cic!

Basketball hit the board into the frame!
