On December 6, 1996, entering the December schedule, every team became very nervous, because the run-in at the beginning of the season has passed, and this time is the time to exert strength, and the state of each team will be at the peak, so even the fans at this time watch the game, it is very refreshing to watch.

The Lakers' current home arena is called the Toyota Center, which has witnessed the Lakers' previous 11 championships before Staples even started, and the number of championship flags above the arena is the second most in the league, behind the Boston Celtics.

"Hello everyone, welcome to the NBA regular season Los Angeles Lakers home game against the Orlando Magic, this game is our national live game, I am your old friend Mike Brin, and this one next to me is also a familiar face for everyone, Hubie Brown. Hubby, who are you more optimistic about this match? On the commentary seat, Mike Brin introduced himself, and then immediately cut to the chase.

Hubie Brown is a respected veteran coach in the NBA, and as a commentator, some of his opinions are also very popular: "In this game, it is obvious that the Lakers have a better chance of winning, the Magic has just changed coaches, and it is still in a turbulent period, and even in terms of real strength, the Magic is not as good as the Lakers." ”

"So what do you mean is that O'Neal will indeed put on a performance that the Magic will regret in this game?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Before this game, another interesting thing happened, after his NBA debut crazy 34 points, the second game of a single quarter 35 points, two consecutive games to break the NBA single quarter scoring record, lost in the game a while ago, and before this game, he shouted to make everyone, especially Mitch Kupchak, do you think he can come up with a performance that everyone regrets?"

Hubi Brown shook his head and said: "I don't think so, I've watched that little guy's game, to be honest, his European step is indeed very powerful, but in the NBA, in the case of hand-check legal, his set can't succeed in the NBA at all, so, unless he can make improvements to his European step, otherwise, the situation of this game will not be better than the previous games, maybe as Del Harris said, If the current head coach of the Magic really lets that little guy play, it will be a good thing for the Lakers. ”

Hubby Brown is not very optimistic about Jonny, but Ricky Adubatu still wants to give it a try, before the start of this game, he has announced the starting lineup for this game, Jonny Lee appeared in the starting lineup again, and Nick Anderson, who lost his starting position again, is also very helpless, but he can't say cruel words, after all, the last Magic fiasco, his performance was also very bad, and he has unforgivable responsibility, and Ricky Adubatu took him from the starter, and he has nothing to say.

In a private room in the audience at the Toyota Center, Lakers godfather Jerry West and his assistant Mitch Kupchak sat inside, watching the players warm up.

"Mitch, that incident, I have understood clearly, although that player is really incapable, but, next time, don't do this, you know, every year, from the second round, or even later draft picks, there are still a lot of good players, even star players, if you really keep looking down on these unfamous players like this, one day, you will regret it." Jerry West single-handedly created Showtime and later the OK Dynasty, and as the godfather of the Lakers, he is certainly very experienced, and although he will not be offended by the fact that Mitch Kupchak refused Jonny's tryout before the draft, a small warning is still necessary.

Jonny was warming up on the sidelines, and in the Lakers' lineup, he didn't see Kobe Bryant's weirdness, which made Jonny feel sympathy and schadenfreude, could it be that guy was also too bad? Can't even get into the big list? In fact, Jonny really thought wrong, Kobe Bryant's current status in the Lakers, although it is not as high as Jonny, but at least one main substitute position will not be less, but before this game, Kobe's feet were a little uncomfortable, so this game chose to rest.

Jonny looked at the players warming up on the Lakers, there were no acquaintances, so he warmed up quietly, waiting for the game to start. Before this game, he used up all the skill points on his body, and learned the E skill of the Infinite Sword Master, which cost 8 skill points, and he spent another 3 skill points, and learned the W skill of the Infinite Sword Master, which was learned in case he was not strong enough. And after learning these two skills, in this game, Jonny will use up that trial opportunity for Riven. And, of course, that special effect of energy points and erodion, as well as healing.

"The game started, the Lakers' starting lineup in this game was the same as in the previous games, the starting point guard was Van Exel, the starting point guard was the rookie scoring guard Eddie Jones, the small forward was Jerome Colsi, the power forward was Elden Campbell, and the center was Shaquille O'Neal, such a starting lineup, under the leadership of the Silver Fox Del Harris, is now ranked fourth in the West."

"And on the Magic side, they have just experienced a change of coach, the new coach Ricky Adubatu's starting lineup is not the same as the previous games, the starting point guard is Darryl Armstrong, the starting scoring guard is Jonny Lee, the starting small forward is Denis Scott, the starting power forward is Anfernee Hardaway, and the starting center is Horris Grant, this lineup is a typical small lineup, it seems that Ricky Adubatu wants to focus on small tactics."

"It's worth mentioning that Jonny Lee is back in the starting lineup for this game, and it seems that Ricci Adubatu still wants to give Jonny more chances, and he expects Jonny to burst out with the ability he was at the start of the season."

"That's right, in fact, there is no good choice for Ricky Addubatu now, if Jonny can break out, he will have hope, so Ricky Adubatu can only take a gamble." The commentator quickly explained the current situation on the court, and the game had already begun, with Horris Grant losing to Elden Campbell on a jumper, and the Lakers attacking first.

This Lakers pair is still very strong, in addition to the small forward Jerome Colsi's age and strength deviation, the backcourt combination of Van Exel and Eddie Jones are both young and powerful players in the league, and Elden Campbell is also a pretty good blue-collar player, plus Shaquille O'Neal, the Lakers' strength on the surface is indeed higher than that of the Magic.

Van Exel dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, because the boss of the Lakers is O'Neal, the interior giant, so there is no provision for the Lakers to hand over the ball to the boss in half the court, after all, O'Neal is an inside line, always playing for the inside, and the inside line will be very tired. So this ball, Van Exel controlled the ball for a while, and it seemed that he saw that Darryl Armstrong was not very close to his defense, and directly flew a three-pointer on the spot.

Swish! Three-point hit!

"Van Exel made a straight three-pointer and hit! Darryl Armstrong, who made his first start of the season, was a little nervous and even forgot about Van Exel's characteristics. "Van Exel, nicknamed Van Crazy, means that he shoots like a madman, without scruples, he thinks he can shoot, he will shoot, so when marking such a player, the most important thing to watch out for is his shooting anytime and anywhere.

And Darryl Armstrong was so stunned that Van Exel's sneak shot hit a three-pointer, and the Magic were unfavorable, and Ricky Adubatu yelled at poor Darryl Armstrong on the sidelines, telling him to keep an eye on his own people.
