Jerry West had a headache after listening to Harris's report, this is really a wave of unsettled, Van Exel's problem he has indeed had a headache for a long time, this thorn has always been an unstable factor in the team's locker room, he was also worried about Kobe Bryant and his inability to coexist, but with the failure of the summer to recruit O'Neal, he was busy making up for it, so he naturally put this problem behind.

Unexpectedly, the contradiction between these two people broke out so quickly, which is really uncomfortable. Jerry West's eyes were staring blankly at the championship trophies in the cupboard across his desk, and his mind was constantly torn between what to do.

Three days later.

The Lakers officially announced that they officially traded the team's leading player Nick Van Exel to the Los Angeles Clippers, and the Clippers paid only a first-round pick and 800,000 cash to get this 17+8 player.

Before the season began, the Lakers folded their arms first, which made everyone think that Jerry West was crazy, and there was even media speculation that after a summer of reshuffle, the locker room in the Lakers team has gotten out of control.

"Mr. West, the outside world has some doubts about your move to trade your star for a draft pick, what do you think?"

"Nick is a very good professional footballer and we wish him a great career in the future."

"Mr. West, judging from what they did this summer, is the Lakers' goal for the new season to compete for the top pick?"

"The Los Angeles Lakers are one of the greatest teams in history, and our goal every year is to go all out for a championship."

"Mr. West, I heard that the team's rookie Kobe Bryant and Van Exel have some conflicts this year, may I ask if the Lakers' trade for Van Exel has anything to do with this?"

"Kobe Bryant is still a kid, and the two of them do have some contradictions, but it's settled, and trading the Knicks is for the future of the team."

Jerry West answered the reporters' questions with a professional smile.

.......

Tony has felt like he's about to explode lately, since he entered the Lakers, Kobe Bryant, a training freak, gets up at four o'clock every day to go to the team's training gym, and Tony, naturally, will not be missed by him.

This madman even created a so-called 666 training plan, which means that 6 hours a day, 6 days a week, a total of 6 training programs.

Thankfully, he didn't transfer his set to Tony, otherwise Tony wouldn't have known if he would have survived until the start of the new season.

Tony naturally has a trainer to develop a special training plan for him, as an inside lineman, his most important goal at the moment is to increase his strength, his own strength is strong enough, but if he encounters a shark, it is far from enough. Tony, of course, won't be lazy, he doesn't want to be hit by that big fat man.

Day by day, the team ushered in the summer league.

Summer league isn't a regular season, he's just a team rehearsing tactics and training rookies, and the old birds rarely play to maintain their bodies, and they have to prepare for a full 82-game regular season. Therefore, many fans will not choose to come to watch the game.

And Kobe Bryant and Tony, as the team's key training targets, also participated in most games.

After 8 games, Bryant averaged 17.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game, while Tony also delivered 12.1 points, 10.4 rebounds and 1.8 blocks. This undoubtedly rekindled the desire of Los Angeles fans, who were disappointed with the team's summer performance, to watch the game.

The end of the Summer League also means that the regular season of the NBA1996-1997 season has officially begun.

Before the opening game, the Lakers went through another temporary operation to determine the team's roster.

The starting point guard was fellow rookie Derrick Fisher

Quartile Kobe Bryant

Small forward Eddie Jones

Power forward Robert Hawley

Center Tony Marles

Substitute point guard Romil Robingson

The quantile is Byron Scott, a decorated veteran of the SHOWTIME period

Corey Blunt, Jr

Jeromy Corsi in front of him

Center Eldon Campbell

PJ Ford and others were not included in the player activation list.

On Friday, November 1, the Lakers ushered in their opener game, hosting the Phoenix Suns. The Suns started with guards Sam Cassel and Cedric Sebarros, forwards AC Green and Danny Manning, and center Joe Kline.

With star Kevin Johnson yet to return from injury, the Suns are not strong, but the Lakers are still not favored to win.

"Guys, increase your runs, pay attention to defense and rebounding, and win this game for our fans!" Before the game, coach Silver Fox Harris brought the players together and encouraged.

After shouting the slogan loudly, everyone ran into the venue one after another.

Because it was the team's opening game, the Lakers fans were also very face-saving, and the entire forum arena was full, and as the players entered the arena, a crazy tsunami suddenly erupted in the audience.

Is this the NBA?

Hearing the frantic cheers of the surrounding fans, Tony couldn't help but feel dizzy, and for a while, his emotions couldn't help but be infected by the enthusiastic fans, and the blood in his body couldn't help but boil.

He looked at Kobe Bryant beside him and found that Kobe's whole body was trembling slightly, which was not caused by fear, but by extreme excitement.

Bryant once vowed to Jordan after going to Chicago to watch him play that he would surpass the man wearing No. 23 and become the greatest star in the NBA. It also made Tony laugh at him for days.

And now, in the middle of the arena, he felt a little different.

A thought popped into his head.

I want to win the championship for this city, for the team I love, and for my good brother Kobe!

If you want to surpass Jordan, then I'll be your Pippen!

......

The referee's whistle blows, announcing the start of the game.

Tony leaps high and wins the jump ball for the Lakers.

He gave the ball to Fisher and quickly landed in position.

Fisher passed the ball to Kobe and began to run off the ball, knowing that Kobe needed the ball to prove that he could afford the future of the team.

Defending Kobe Bryant was last year's Lakers star player Sebalos, who was clearly unhappy with the team's use of him as a shark victim, and he was desperate to get revenge on his old club with a victory.

In the face of Cebaros' tough defense, Kobe Bryant was a little uncomfortable for a while, and he dribbled twice before being forced to stop the ball by Cebaros' suffocated defense.

He had no choice but to pass the ball back to Fisher, who beckoned Tony to come up and block Cassel, who was marking him, and then he dribbled to a pull-up jumper near the free throw line to score two points for the Lakers.

The Suns seemed to be happy today, and Cassel dribbled the ball past halftime to Cebaros.

Kobe Bryant was not to be outdone, clinging to Cebaros, Sebalos refused his teammate's blocking, he decided to single Kobe Bryant, perhaps because of the long-term bullfight with Tony, so that Kobe Bryant developed a bad habit of reaching out, Sebalos dribbled under the crotch to avoid Kobe's steal, and then broke through Kobe, and made a layup to cause Tony to foul the defense.

Stepping to the free throw line, Cebaroz made both free throws safely.

These two young men paid the price for their youth one after another.

However, in the next round, Kobe Bryant showed his talent to the world, under the cover of Toney's pick-and-roll, he successfully got rid of Cebarros, and then his body shook continuously, and a change of direction passed Joe Klein, who was defending the defense, and slipped into the Suns' interior like a loach, and scored an easy layup, cutting the first point of his career.

The fans at the Forum Arena burst into cheers.

The game went on.

Sebaros forced a layup on Kobe Bryant, Tony grabbed the rebound, and a long throw was thrown to Eddie Jones, who was fast and fast, and Jones scored a dunk.

The Lakers scored four straight points to take a 6-2 lead over the Suns in the overall score.

Harris on the bench shook his fist excitedly, and four of the team's first six points came from two rookies, while the other two points also came from Tony's brilliant all-court second pass, and he was very satisfied with the lack of fear of life from these rookies.

However, the Suns quickly recovered and after a few transitions, the ball finally came to AC Green, who was in the open space, and Green dropped his knife and the basketball hollowed into the frame.

However, in the rest of the first quarter, the shortcomings of the Lakers' young inexperience were completely exposed, and the Suns quickly overtook the score and held the Lakers down on both offensive and defensive ends.

Except for the 1:34 left on the clock, Fisher and Toney's blocked aerial relay dazzled the fans, and the Lakers didn't have a brilliant performance.

Tony couldn't help but pound his chest and roar after landing on the ground, and the feeling of scoring for the first time filled him with confidence.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers trailed the Suns by eight points, 18-26.

Harris came off the bench in the second quarter, hoping to rely on the offensive ability of the veteran Byron Scott to chase down the points.

The Suns didn't seem to be very nervous in this game, and their coach also waved his hand and came up with a 5-5 play.

Obviously, Harris's plan has not been disappointed, as an FMVP who was once able to average 20+ per game, Scott caused a lot of trouble for the Suns' bench lineup. Under his leadership, the Lakers chased the difference to 2 points.

With two minutes left before halftime, the score was already 43-41.

The Suns called a timeout and then redeployed their starters, and Harris also removed Scott to bring in Kobe Jones and Tony.

Suns alien Cassel hit a three-pointer against Roberson's defense to pull the score away again.

On the Lakers side, Jones hoisted the ball to Tony, who was going to hold the seat, and Tony turned and broke through Joe Klein and put the ball in the basket.

To everyone's surprise, the Suns' next serve was cut off by Fisher, seeing the follow-up Kobe, Fisher threw the ball, and Kobe flew up and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.

It's an aerial relay again.

The crowd was in a state of flux, and the lads had a surprise for them, and they didn't mind giving the loudest cheers to the little ones.

With 23 seconds left, the Suns dragged the clock to the final second, with Cassel missing a three-point whistle and the halftime whistle.

At halftime, the Lakers trailed by just one point at 45-46. Bryant scored nine points on 3-of-8 shooting, while Toney finished with four points and six rebounds on 2-of-3 shooting.

Team locker room.

"Boys, focus on defense, don't let them move the ball easily, play your talents, Holly I need you to pull outside the three-point line and create space for Tony to the basket, in the second half, Tony you need to strengthen the basket offense, Kobe I need you to be more determined to attack the basket. We can win this game, come on, let's give the Phoenix people a little bit of color. Harris spat excitedly.

......

At the beginning of the second half, the two sides changed places and fought again.

The Suns are obviously playing more consistently, and they are finally facing up to these little cubs of the Lakers.

Toney was even more ferocious, hitting a back-to-back jumper, then catching the ball high enough to get past Joe Klein for a dunk, and then Holly, who was in the middle of a double bag and passed the ball to the bottom corner, for a 3-pointer.

Relying on Toney's brave play, the Lakers bit the score to the death, and by the end of the third quarter, the Lakers were 77-74 ahead by 3 points.

The result lifted the morale of the entire Lakers, and after a short break, they started the fourth quarter with great momentum.

Sebaros was in a hurry, he didn't want anything to go wrong in this game. He played well today, now he's scored 17 points, and he doesn't want to give up the win.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Cebaroz repeatedly asked for the ball and beat Kobe Bryant.

He had a good hand, and 2 consecutive mid-range shots helped the team overtake the score.

However, Kobe Bryant was not to be outdone, he really couldn't guard against Sebaros, but as he gradually got into the rhythm, it became more and more difficult for Cebaroz to guard him.

He feigned a breakthrough, deceived Sebaros and lost his center of gravity, and then stepped back to the outside of the three-point line, shot, hit, and the Lakers overtook again.

After hitting the three-pointer, Kobe arrogantly raised three fingers high, which attracted waves of cheers from the fans in the audience.

The game was scorching, and the two teams had already overtaken each other seven or eight times in the final quarter. Every time the Lakers score a goal, the fans will cheer wildly, and every time the Suns attack, they will only get a flood of boos.

The Suns players were a little anxious, they gradually lost their rhythm, and their shots lost their crosshairs, and the Lakers played higher and higher, and finally succeeded in pulling away the score.

At the end of the game, the Lakers defeated the Suns by 11 points 105-94 to win the opening game.

In this game, Fisher had 7 points and 4 assists, Jones made 11 of 22 and scored 28 points to become the team's leading scorer, Hawley hit 3 3-pointers and scored 13 points and 6 boards, and Scott, who came off the bench, scored 18 points on 7-of-15. Kobe Bryant was 7-of-18, scoring 21 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, playing a perfect debut performance, and Tony was not far behind, 6-of-11, handing over 14 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks, and 6 of his 14 points were scored in the final quarter.

The two high school students initially touched the hearts of Los Angeles fans with such a performance and a hearty victory.
