Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

The purpose of the party?

Because of the age, Li Shengli has never seen it.

But obviously, this summit has become a loudspeaker for league transactions, and changes large and small are affecting the league's structure, but for the time being... the Lakers and Bulls are recognized by the league as the top teams in the east and west.

The Bulls' reorganization plan is not going well, but they are also looking for center shields to contend with this era of inside hell starring Li Shengli.

As for the Lakers...

The championship lineup will basically not change significantly, but there will still be fine-tuning. The arrival of Rick Fox was arranged by West, and Fox averaged 15.4 points and 5.2 rebounds in 35 minutes with the Celtics last season. 3.8 assists, 2.2 steals and three-pointers, basically good at everything.

For such a good role player, the Lakers actually signed him to a contract with a starting salary of one million?

In fact, since last season, the Lakers have embarked on a low-paid, high-performance voyage for players, including Kobe, Big Ben, Crotty, and then Fox. And this Fox, who went to Los Angeles for his movie dream...Celtics Offering two million won't work. Life and death means signing a contract with the Lakers with a starting salary of $100.

For the Lakers...

Fox mainly plays the small forward position.

Rotating with Horry is enough to ensure sufficient physical strength in one position, and can even be extended to support the guard position, which is a great complement to the defense and even greater to the offense.

Adding Fox while the original main force and rotation remain unchanged is definitely a profit, and the Lakers' strength in the new season has also been enhanced.

So when Fox, who was a surprise to the Lakers, reported to the team for the first time, it was West who brought him hand in hand and handed it over to Li Shengli personally. Fox was surprised...

His new teammates showed unusual enthusiasm for him? !

Not only that, everyone looked at him with fiery eyes, which also made him feel that his decision was wise and wise enough.

Although the integration situation was quite perfect, he just... always felt weird. He felt like he was being spied on no matter what happened.

Are there any peeping toms on the Lakers?

But how could he be so perverted?

Fox felt hairy all over and planned to take the time to report this matter to Li Shengli, but the problem was that he didn't expect... the peeping toms were this group of people.

…

"Big Ben, what are you doing?"

"Boss, I'm spying on the enemy!"

"Then what did you gain?"

"I found out clearly that this guy has been saving money for 6 years, 6 years, 6 years!"

"Damn, that's a lot!"

"Boss, let's do it quickly. I'm afraid that he won't be able to withstand the temptation of Los Angeles and spend all his savings. Anyway, it's saving money. Putting it in his pocket is saving, and putting it in our pockets is also saving. So why not Put it in our pockets?"

"Big Ben, your logic is a bit gangster, isn't it?"

"Hey~~I've got the true legacy of the boss."

…

The new season has started.

The preseason is just a warm-up transition from the long offseason to the regular season.

The Lakers basically have nothing to say. Everyone is just looking for form and dedicating themselves to regular training. After a few preseason games, they officially entered the regular season of the 1997-98 season.

It's a little surprising that the Lakers' first game of the new season is the San Antonio Spurs, the favorite in the Western Conference, but it's not too surprising. After all, they are in the Western Conference and they play early and late.

…

Speaking of Spurs…

That really made Dominic Wilkins, who is known as the essence of human movies, cry.

He was originally a big shot who averaged 30 points per game. When he wanted to win a championship, he joined the Spurs with an annual salary of 250,000. It is a bit ugly to say that he is trying to win a championship, but after all, he is approaching the end of his career and is plagued by injuries.

But Wilkins never expected it...

He came to hug his thigh, but he became his thigh and became the team's scoring leader?

David Robinson played 6 games in one season, and at the age of 36, he has become a "young" main force?

The Spurs 'proactively' had a battalion full of wounded and brittle soldiers. Even though he was riddled with injuries, he became the healthiest one?

This made people angry, so they immediately went to Italy to play ball.

It's funny to say it, but the fact is that the Spurs are really bullying people, because the annual salary of 250,000 is almost equivalent to winning the team's scoring champion for nothing, but the plan that took advantage of the situation also defeated the last bit of their championship. dream……

You don’t have a car or a house, and you want me to give you a baby. If you’re not a scumbag, who is?

In the same way, if someone is working so hard that they are almost working for free, and you spend the last part of their career in vain just to show off your needs, isn't that quite scumbag?

But then again, it was Wilkins who lost the bet.

After experiencing the Spurs' worst season, all his game contributions were insignificant in the bad plan. Although the Spurs wanted to retain him, in fact he ran out of time and could not wait.

He was even more pressed for time than Barkley. He was so disappointed that he finally left the vanity fair of the NBA, where there are only visible championships and invisible super giants.

Of course, the earth will not continue to slump because of one person, nor will the Spurs continue to be depressed because of one Wilkins. On the contrary... After capturing the scheduled No. 1 pick Tim Duncan, the Spurs are showing signs of rebirth.

As for whether it is strong or not?

In the first game of the season, the Lakers were testing the waters for the entire league, and compared to the previous Spurs... all the variables in this team lie in Tim Duncan.

…

Speaking of Duncan, I have to mention some digressions...

Duncan's university is Wake Forest University. The Chinese translation of the university's basketball team is the Devil Deacons, and the nickname "Flying Devils" is basically a clickbait.

"Devil" comes from the school team in college, and "Feitian" was added after domestic transliteration. If it is spread too much, it will lead to misleading public opinion.

Although the basic skills are a bit difficult to pronounce, this nickname truly embodies Duncan's characteristics... There is no thunder in his body, no anger in his eyes, and no expression on his face. His talent is explosive and he has a solid foundation. He is better in all aspects and High productivity and stability, why would anyone want to fly? Flying every day is not tiring.

Back to the topic...

Although the enemy's situation is unclear, the Lakers are not afraid. They have Campbell to assist the offense, a strong defense, and Li Shengli. The Lakers have a strong internal combat effectiveness, and the advantage in the peripheral comparison is even greater than that of the inside. They have sufficient offensive and defensive reserves. So Harris, as the head coach, started his calculations for the new season again.

…

October 31st.

On the first day of the new season, all members of the Spurs arrived in Los Angeles early to prepare for the game. Because this game was of great significance, not only was it the season premiere, but the Lakers, who were ranked first in the Western Conference and were recognized by the entire league as a tester of inside strength, were sluggish. Robinson is more interested in one season than anyone else.

Can the core be punched out?

It would be unreasonable not to touch Li Shengli. After all, the Lakers and top center Li Shengli, who is stuck in the front row of the Western Conference, can be called the number one problem for everyone and the crusher of championship dreams.
