"Byron, are you really not playing for a season anymore? This year, I have a lot of hope to win the championship. Kirtlambis admonished Byron Scott.

"Nope. I can't help the team much on the pitch. Byron Scott smiled wryly.

"Then join the coaching staff."

That was Harris' promise last season, when Byron Scott played a year with the Lakers as a rookie and then recruited him to the coaching staff.

"Okay."

BYRON SCOTT'S RETIREMENT HAS ATTRACTED A LITTLE ATTENTION, AND THE DEPARTURE OF THE MAGIC'S BEST OUTSIDE PARTNER DURING THE SHOWTIME PERIOD, A THREE-TIME CHAMPION, AND A SCORING GUARD WHO AVERAGED 21+4+4 PER GAME AT HIS PEAK, HAS BECOME THE LAST WITHERING OF SHOWTIME.

SINCE THEN, THE LEAGUE HAS NO CORE PLAYERS OF THE SHOWTIME DYNASTY, A FIVE-CROWN DYNASTY WITH MEMORIES OF COUNTLESS FANS IN THE 1980S, AND THE LAST CORE PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE HAS ALSO LEFT THE GAME.

But most SHOWTIME Dynasty fans are not immersed in sadness, because the current Lakers! Equally great!

"The Lakers' roster is out!"

"Show me! Show me! ”

"Guards: Kobe Bryant, Eddie Jones, Derrick Fisher, Dele Curry, DeJuan Witt

Forwards: Robert Horry, Bruce Bowen, Chris Mullin, Elden Campbell, Ben Wallace, Stephen Jackson, Corey Blunt

Center forwards: Shaq O'Neill, Matt Geiger

Luxury!

This lineup system can only be described as luxurious.

The arrival of Chris Mullin has undoubtedly enriched the Lakers' team tactics, the 34-year-old Mullin only used to act as a fixed-point shooter in the Lakers, Kobe Bryant and O'Neal would pass the ball to him, and all he had to do was to shoot in the open position.

DeJuan Witt and Stephen Jackson, two rookies, spend a lot of time as spectators. Harris's current idea is for Stephen Jackson to gain weight and move to the all-around No. 3 or 4 swing man, similar to Horry.

But it takes time, and like Kobe Bryant last year, the current martial arts saint is still a thin man.

The core of the Lakers' 70-win team has been retained, except that Colsey is gone and Byron Scott is retired.

"How do you schedule your starters?" The Lakers coaching staff, Byron Scott, participates in the discussion.

"Chris said he could play any position and he was willing to be a substitute." Kirtambis said he was the coach who worked with the Lakers players the most.

"Let's try them all." Harris draws in circles.

The Lakers are more competitive with the front.

The starting linebacks of Kobe Bryant and Eddie Jones are a dead thing, and no one can take their place.

The center is of course the league's No. 1 center, the Big Sharks.

The position of the striker is very delicate.

Last year, Bowen was able to become the starting small forward by relying on one-handed defense, but his inconsistency on the offensive end still made Kobe Bryant and O'Neal vulnerable to being trapped. Even if Bryant and O'Neal can break the bag, it will always make the space blocked. If Bowen's long-range shooting can be more consistent, then he is undoubtedly the best choice for the Lakers' starting small forward. If he continues to be an offensive black hole, the starting small forward position will be contested by Horry and Mullin.

The position of the power forward is also difficult to choose, Campbell has a high salary and low ability, and he can face most teams in the starter, but facing the Jazz, Houston, and even the SuperSonics in the East, the Timberwolves are very difficult.

Kemp is gone, and Weinbeck is even more difficult to deal with on the offensive end.

And this season's newcomers to the league, Tim Duncan and Admirals form the twin towers, and it is unclear how strong they are. But just looking at the summer league, Duncan started as an all-round power forward at an all-star level.

There are also Webb of the Magic on the eastern side, Leitner of the Hawks, and Camp of the Cavaliers' Rain Man who are difficult to deal with.

Harris has a bit of a headache, and the league is about to enter the era of power forward?

So many top power forwards, crazy emergence.

If Campbell can't, then the Lakers' choice is Horry, Big Ben.

With Horry strong and weak on offense and defense, and with the playmaking of the second team, Harris still wants Horry to be an all-around sixth man, a firefighting captain, rather than a space-based four.

Big Ben only defends, attacks the black hole, brainless turnover, and limits O'Neal's best players. Once Big Ben is on the pitch, O'Neal's offensive pressure will increase by several levels.

Although Big Ben had a miraculous effect when he played Barkley and Malone, it was half useless to let him start in the regular season.

It seems that Harris can only start Campbell.

At least it's more comfortable to play in the regular season, and as for the changes after that, it will be up to West to complete some trades.

"Let's try to fight against each other first."

This was followed by a two-week pre-season training session.

"These three points?"

Harris's eyes widened, and Bowen stood in the bottom corner, took the passes from O'Neal and Kobe, and hit a crazy three-pointer.

"This defense?"

Big Ben pressed Stephen Jackson with his chest, step by step, and while retreating, his thick thighs firmly controlled the center of gravity, and the last blood rushed to Stephen Jackson to give a welcome salute.

"Oh, it's not good, this kid."

"No, it's Big Ben's defense that's too strong."

"Have you noticed that our core players are all thick."

"Don't say it! It's really true! ”

Watching O'Neal with Matt Geiger and Horry hanging on him, he easily scored the ball.

Bryant singled out all the Lakers' outside with his back, and then used his pressing defense to make it impossible for all the backup guards to dribble across the half.

Harris understands that the Lakers' chance to win the championship is coming.

This year's preseason runs from October 10 to 26.

The Lakers will have six games.

Oct. 10 against the Houston Rockets.

Played against the Minnesota Timberwolves on October 13.

Oct. 17 against the Golden State Warriors.

October 18 against the San Antonio Spurs.

Oct. 21 against the Phoenix Suns.

Oct. 26 against the Seattle SuperSonics.

Then the 1997-1998 season officially arrived!

The opening game on October 31 is the Lakers vs. Jazz!

Bulls vs. Celtics!

Cavaliers vs. Rockets!

Wait, 14 games in total!

"I can't wait to see the Lakers play!"

"New season! What kind of changes will the Lakers have? ”

"I'm most looking forward to the opening game between the Lakers and the Jazz, new hatred and old hatred, and it must be another big battle."

"Pippen has announced that he is going to have surgery and will be absent until January!"

"Guess what? I don't want to spend the summer recovering and preparing for next season. The Bulls weren't expecting me to come back, so I'm going to enjoy the summer and use the regular season to prepare for my comeback. Pippen was on his feet, and he was covered with plaster.

Kobe Bryant was speechless, when did this guy get hurt?

I didn't see him in the finals.

Fraud?

Played out in the summer?

That's interesting.
