"Coach! Please! Let me go! I'm cured! O'Neal, who weighs nearly 300 pounds, is bouncing in front of Harris, squeezing his eyebrows and wanting to play in the game against the SuperSonics.

Back in Los Angeles, O'Neal has joined the team's joint practice, and in the last 20 days of the regular season, even if O'Neal can't play, the team needs this gentleman to join the team's training, start adjusting tactics, and prepare for the playoffs.

"No, Shaq." Harris shook his head decisively, although Shaq's injury has no impact, although there are structural injuries have healed and recovered, but the doctor has only allowed him to join the team's tactical 5v5 drills, and can go with the team to the away stadium, and has not yet agreed to play.

Theoretically, Shaq is back to 90 percent, but Harris is not willing to take that risk, and O'Neal has signed a super five-year contract with the Lakers, so there is no need to risk it for these inconsequential regular season games.

O'Neal doesn't think so, and the team currently has a very good chance of hitting the top 10 in league history. He wanted to be involved, not a passerby.

In the last 20 games, the Seattle SuperSonics will inevitably be among them. This season, the Lakers and SuperSonics have a record of 2:1, the Lakers are one game ahead, if they can be 3:1, it will definitely be the best, and 2:2 in the playoffs will not be so big.

In addition to the SuperSonics, the Lakers will play two games against the Jazz, one against the Suns, and one against the Trail Blazers, all of which are strong opponents. The Lakers without O'Neal are really not strong compared to these teams. It wouldn't be surprising if the Lakers lost 4 or 5 games in the last 20 days. O'Neill did not come back, and the team's hard power is much worse than these strong teams. O'Neal's return, the team's tactical changes, and the changes in the players' positions will also affect the team's overall performance.

Hitting 70 wins and beating the Chicago Bulls to win the first place in the league is really not something that can be done easily. O'Neal knows this, so he wants to come back early, start integrating into the team system early, and run in to better perform in the regular season and in the playoffs. O'Neal has been out for more than 20 games, and it is because of these absences that he has lost the opportunity to compete for MVP, but fortunately, he also thinks that he is very young, MVP is not imminent, the team's core squad contract still has many years, the team's management and coach are also very stable, and the team's rookies still have a lot of room for growth, in Shaq's view, MVP and championship are only a matter of time for him.

"Coach, I want to play!" Shaq was still unwilling, shaking Harris's arm back and forth, his eyes innocent.

"Absolutely not, maybe in a few more games, we have to listen to the team doctor, not me."

"I was injured against the SuperSonics, so I'm coming back from them, isn't that legendary? I'll bloodbathe Seattle with Kobe! ”

Harris's eyes fell on Kobe.

Kobe Bryant also looked innocent and spread his hands.

Bryant felt that it was okay to play with a slight injury, and he often did it. Basketball is a man's sport, how can it not be injured? If it had been Kobe Bryant when he was younger, he would have stepped forward and said, 'Hey! Coach, Shaq has a little injury, let him play, it's okay. ’

But after so much experience, he understands that the health of the players is his own business, and he must not meddle in these things. He could ask Jeff to help Shaq with his rehab, but he couldn't work with Shaq to force the coach to let him play.

"Bear with me a few more, Shaq. There is no rush at this time. Scott, as a good man in the team, advised that he has also encountered a lot of players in his long career who do not pay attention to their injuries, resulting in serious problems, and since the team is willing to let Shaq recover from a small injury, there is no need for Shaq to rush back for a while.

"Okay." O'Neill was reluctantly convinced.

...

On March 27, 1997, after the Lakers defeated the Bucks at home, they flew non-stop and flew for 8 hours to Vancouver, Toronto.

Vancouver currently sit bottom of the East with a 12-60 record, and their star is the tournament's No. 3 pick, Sharif Abdul Rahim. With a rookie as the absolute core, the team's current personnel reserve is very poor, and this season is currently the tail of the league's western lift, and the record is worse than that of the San Antonio Spurs, who have been in a bad form from the start.

However, Raheem's growth is very rapid, and he is currently averaging 18.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per game, which is very comprehensive, ranking third in the 96 golden generation in points per game, only behind Kobe's 29.3 points and Iverson's 24.2 points.

SPEAKING OF IVERSON, ON MARCH 13, IN THE BULLS' GAME AGAINST THE 76ERS, IVERSON CROSSOVER SHOOK JORDAN AND COMPLETED A MID-RANGE PULL-UP JUMPER, WHICH ALSO SPREAD AND MADE HEADLINES MANY TIMES.

The twin stars of the 96 golden generation, one beat Jordan and the other shook Jordan, all took the current first person in the league as a stepping stone, which made the media shake.

This season's 96 Golden Generation has been recognized by the media as the strongest rookie after the 84 Diamond Generation! Led by Kobe Bryant and Iverson, two superstar embryos were drafted in one draft alone, and the quality of the draft in this edition was enough to crush 90% of the draft years.

And in addition to Kobe and Iverson, there are actually a large number of all-star embryos, as well as top 3D player embryos. The quality of the 96 Golden Generation shook the league.

What the media doesn't know is that in addition to Kobe and Iverson, there are also players who also have superstar potential, and if they knew, they might be shocked by the quality of this rookie.

Although Rahim does not have the talent and potential of a superstar, no matter how he cultivates, he will not be able to set foot on the road of superstardom, but it is still very interesting to become a poor man's version of Karl Malone. Raheem is also gradually cashing in on his talents.

The Lakers just beat the Bucks yesterday and are guarding against the Bucks' Big Three. Today, I flew across the country to Vancouver to participate in the competition, and the physical fitness and condition that I had just recovered had a huge decline.

In regular season time, the two sides drew 92-92. Bryant missed the shot, his first shot of the season. The chance of a 100% lore chance is also broken.

The two sides entered overtime, and Kobe Bryant seemed to be dissatisfied with the missed shot, and single-handedly scored 10 points in overtime to kill the game 102:98.

On the Lakers side in this game, only Kobe Bryant and Dell Curry scored double-doubles, Kobe Bryant had 42 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, and Curry had 21 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist. The team's tactics stalled, perhaps because O'Neal joined practice and didn't have O'Neal during the game, which made the Lakers' tactics a little chaotic.

On the other side, Sharif Abdul Raheem blasted 26 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, and the Lakers' interior defense was smashed by Raheem alone, but this is not the first time that the interior has been penetrated, and Kobe Bryant has been completely able to accept it.

The Lakers have won back-to-back games before heading to Seattle for their fourth game of the season against the SuperSonics.
