Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

Did the Lakers win the championship?

To be honest, this result exceeded most people's predictions, because it is really rare to win the championship in the first year of a lineup reorganization, especially when the Lakers' opponent is the Bulls with the Big Three headed by Jordan.

But it’s normal if you think about it carefully…

Different from the Dallas Mavericks where Li Shengli joined before, you must know that in the last 95-96 season, the Lakers were a playoff-qualified team before the reorganization, with sufficient personnel reserves. What Li Shengli took over was definitely not a mess. Eddie, Nick, Campbell But they are all players above the standard.

In addition, the Lakers also added personnel...

A picked-up big man cannot be explained by low salary and high ability, and his contribution value on the defensive end is explosive;

Kobe, who was missed in the draft, has grown at an astonishing rate and is already the second core of the Lakers;

In addition, Li Shengli, who has unstoppable dominance in the penalty area, and the defensive madman Crotty who is always by his side.

The formation of this lineup is very, very high.

Although the regular season record is not good, it still needs to be adjusted in the process, and the factors of the large-scale ban due to the fight with the Knicks, and aside from these... the Lakers' eight-game miracle, the real pain is the Bulls and Jordan.

How strong are the Lakers?

Can we still win consecutive championships next season?

These questions lingered over the home stadiums of teams across the league, and when the Lakers won the championship and returned to Los Angeles to hold the league's traditional championship parade, the entire league was in motion.

…

On the Bulls side…

Playing again, Jordan is not sure whether he can beat the Lakers led by Li Shengli. He has a chance to win but loses more. If he wants to compete for supremacy next season, he must make adjustments.

The most direct adjustment is of course to strengthen the inside line and the center position, but the problem is that there are too few choices in the free market, and if you want to match Li Shengli, you need to find a super center or a defensive center.

But even if players all over the league ask for anything, are there any salary restrictions?

You must know that Jordan currently has a special contract of 30 million yuan a year from the league. Where can he find a cheap and capable center to use? Even the Bulls management thought of the way they defeated Rodman with a set of military punches in the finals...

But the problem is that the Lakers are not mentally ill. They often make mistakes under the leadership of West, but they can't do stupid things like letting people go and capitalizing on the enemy. After all, the Bulls are the biggest opponent of the Lakers next season. Raising a father Come and fuck yourself? Isn't that making trouble?

Of course, the Bulls management also knew it was impossible.

So if the center position cannot be adjusted, they want to add a stable pitcher and digest Jordan's distribution. After all, the functional role of players like Cole has been reflected, and the competition with the Lakers next season will add a little bit of combat effectiveness. It might be the key to victory.

In this regard, Jordan is also actively looking for people.

…

Then there are the Spurs.

Suffering from injuries to the main force, the Spurs have had their worst record in the past decade this season, but it cannot be ruled out that Popovich intends to perform badly during the regular season.

The result of the poor record is... In the new season's draft lottery, the Spurs came out on top. As for the first choice target, there is no need to think about it, because all the bad teams in the league are competing for it. This guy comes from Victoria. University of Texas' Tim Duncan.

In this regard, Spurs general Robinson was extremely happy and was happy day and night.

After all, he has been beaten by Li Shengli in the Western Conference, and he struggled to find a partner. Although the team found him Rodman, he was a thorn in the side, and now... he is known as the 'big basic skill' Is Duncan, the No. 1 overall pick, about to get it?

Robinson vowed that he would lead Duncan to beat Li Shengli this season.

The whole league is afraid of Li Shengli. That's because the league can't find a top center + top power forward combination to defeat him.

There was before, but it would be Li Shengli + Malone, defeating the entire league.

There is one now, but the combination is an aging partnership of Olajuwon + Barkley, which doesn't quite work.

Next season will be different. Robinson believes that the combination of himself and Duncan will be the most important force in the Western Conference to stop the Lakers.

Hahaha, Li Shengli, die!

…

It is extremely crazy to show off for Duncan. Originally, the Celtics were supposed to be the main force this time, but the problem is that Cardinal Auerbach personally left the game and let the sharks travel east, so all plans changed. …

"I don't care, please find someone for me quickly."

"Shaq, don't be like this, we are already trying to contact various teams."

"No matter what, hurry up. I keep following that bastard and eating ashes. I feel bad!!"

When the Lakers won the championship, or Li Shengli won the championship, the person who was most affected was Jordan, and the second was O'Neal, and O'Neal was anxious.

Because so far, apart from the honors that everyone has in the 50th superstar, the most successful competition between him and Li Shengli is the best rookie, but the key point is that this thing is not valuable...

Think about it, a few years later, the two old people got together.

Li Shengli: Back then, I won three championships in five years.

O'Neal: My Rookie of the Year.

Li Shengli: I have played 3 FMVPs in 5 years.

O'Neal: My Rookie of the Year.

Li Shengli: I am the number one in the five data categories.

O'Neal: My Rookie of the Year, oh, I also have a scoring champion.

Li Shengli: Wow, a scoring champion, so awesome!

O'Neal: Ah~~I'm going to fuck you!

…

Just thinking about it makes people shudder, and O'Neal really can't accept it.

Therefore, in the new season, O'Neal not only wants the Green Army to become the strongest force in the Eastern Conference against the Bulls, but also wants to beat Lee Shengli in the finals. This is his biggest wish for the new season, and now he needs helpers, and he needs O'Neal. Erbach, an old man, stepped in to help.

"Old man, come up with something for me!"

"Uh... In fact, the result you want is already somewhat apparent."

"Fuck, really? Who is that?"

"Don't worry, it won't count until it's settled, and I believe you will like this new teammate, because it turns out that they cooperated very well in the same tactical mode of a certain team before, and I also believe that... The time is coming for you, me, and the Celtics."

"Ah? You mean..."

"It looks like you figured it out?"

"That's right, hurry up, speed up, speed up! Hahaha, I not only want to stop the Bulls and Jordan, but also let Li come over, and I will ride on my horse... I will kill him!"

"Fuck him to death? Ahem...this is really a touching friendship."

…

There is no static dynasty in the NBA.

Not only will the player status of dynasty teams decline over time, but there will also be an 'ant nest' collapse effect caused by salary changes and personnel adjustments, as well as challenges from the outside.

It just so happens that the Lakers are only the first step in expanding their territory, and it is more difficult to maintain a business than to start a business.

At this stage, the so-called 1996 draft year should actually include 1995 and 1997, forming a concept of the "pan-96 generation" that extends back and forth, because during this period, there was a blowout of talented players, and the explosion The process is not over yet.

96 Iverson and Marbury temporarily took the lead, while Kobe and Ben took the lead in charging forward from the back of the team.

95 Garnett, 97 Duncan, and there are more top players to be discovered and grown.

The rookies of the Pan-96 generation are extremely ferocious.

The uncrowned super giants accumulated in the long river of history are even more eyeing.

Any combination is extremely threatening, but the Lakers are at the most inconvenient and most difficult time to build a dynasty.

No worries inside, but troubles outside.

In this not-so-good situation, Lakers boss Li Shengli is... asking for salary.
