Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 12 Coaching career debut!

1999 2 Month 5 Day.

Great Western Forum.

The current home arena of the Los Angeles Lakers.

In the future, the well-known Staples Center started construction in 1998 and was completed and opened in October 1999.

Waiting for the Lakers to move their home arena, it will be the start of the next season.

Li Mu was in a suit and leather shoes, with his hands on his waist, his head slightly raised, and proudly looked around the entire arena.

Tonight is about to usher in the first show of Li Mu's NBA professional coaching career. This is a day that should be remembered in history.

"It's really saving face!" Li Mu sighed.

Not referring to the well-known Lakers fans watching the game next to the stadium: Jay Leonard Ke, who is as handsome as himself, at this time, he is still a young man with peerless beauty, and the most important thing is that he is as handsome as Li Mu.

Dian Cannon, who carefully prepared the chocolate cake with her hand, looks like a sweetheart.

Super fan Jack Nicholson, one of the four talented actors in Hollywood, known as the king of Oscars, with the crazy temperament of a clown, at this moment...wearing sunglasses, with a cute baby by his side, turning into a gentle dad in early spring .

It is said that Escuber, the amphibious entertainment star who is a Lakers fan in his mother's womb, also made an appearance here.

A series of beautiful landscapes: Hilton sisters, Kim Kardashian and so on.

Hot and charming, enthusiastic and sultry cheerleader girl...

They are not exclamations, but refer to the avalanche tsunami and boos like snowflakes from the fans at the scene.

"Give us Rick Fox back!"

"We want Eddie Jones!!"

"Give us Robert Horry!!"

"No Bruce Bowen~"

"Reject Ben Wallace~~"

"Please take Chauncey Billups!!!"

"..."

On the commentary stage, TNT radio broadcasted the focus of the opening game, with McBrin and Marv Albert as the commentators, because it was a duel between the four major centers, and the Lakers star, the legendary center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, was specially invited to make a guest appearance Temporary guest commentator.

"How bold!! The new Chinese head coach actually released such a starting lineup.

No wonder it was overwhelmed by live boos! "Albert curled his lips and smiled.

"Don't he know?
To play for the Lakers, in addition to skills, do you also need good looks? "

"Superstars don't need good looks, for example, O'Neal." Kareem Abdul-Jabbar secretly added.

"..."

Why don't you talk about yourself?

What are you pulling that shark for?
Not to mention, Li Mu's starting lineup for tonight's debut, not to mention the strength, but the appearance, really deserves the name of the Lakers.

Billups is not yet called Mr. Key, but is named after his appearance, called Flounder.

Fish, except for mermaids, other fish do not conform to human aesthetics.

Bruce Bowen, also known as Uncle Bao, ditto.

big ben...

Anyway, the name has nothing to do with the appearance.

Listen to the voices of the fans, who is Rick Fox?

He made his debut with the Celtics and made a name for himself. After the contract ended, he refused to renew his contract with the Celtics and chose the contract of the Lakers.

Because he likes movies, and the Lakers are in Los Angeles, close to Hollywood.

This is to believe in his good looks, and to believe that one day in the future, a director will fall in love with him and ask him to make a movie.

Later, Fox really did it. He was too hot off the field, throwing parties every day, playing until he went bankrupt.

In order to make a living, he went to make small movies, the kind of art teacher, and then he became popular.

In terms of appearance, the tough-looking Fox is very resistant.

Later, the mature Kobe, Walton and Sharapova's ex-boyfriend Vujacic were all responsible for the appearance of the Lakers.

Now, Kobe hasn't grown bald yet, the key is that he hasn't grown bald yet.

It can only be avoided, and Li Mu will be responsible for the appearance.

you…

You don't have to! !
"Bishop Li Mu is bold?"

But Mike Breen shook his head and said bluntly, "Compared to Li Mu's starting lineup, Rudy Tojanovic's starting lineup is bolder in my opinion.

Three veterans lead two rookies, and for the Lakers, the starters are all players in the second grade or above. "

"It's not that he's bold, it's that he has to!" Albert retorted.

"The Rockets' backcourt is poor. If they want to achieve results this season, they can only bet on the performance of the three rookies selected in the 98 draft."

This is also the reason why the Rockets formed the Big Three, but they can only rank 8th in the ESPN strength rankings.

The simple warm-up exercise is over, and the game is about to start.

The Lakers started with 5 people, point guard Billups, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, small forward Bowen, power forward Ben, and center O'Neal.

The Rockets started with 5 tigers, point guard Dixon, shooting guard Mobley, small forward Pippen, power forward Barkley, and center Olajuwon.

The game started with a jump ball, and the basketball was thrown into the air. O'Neal, who had a strong fighting spirit, showed his terrifying talent and easily defeated the 36-year-old 'old' No. 90 center in the [-]s, Olajuwon.

Billups took the ball to the frontcourt and found that Dixon's defensive position was at the back, and the thought of suddenly shooting a three-pointer flashed in his mind.

Pinch off.

His style of play is stable, he doesn't hit indiscriminately, and according to Ye Mu's tactical requirements, he handed over the basketball to O'Neill.

A hit to the ball passed, O'Neal caught the ball with his back to the basket, Olajuwon put his left hand on his waist, and opened his right hand.

In the first round of offense, the two super centers directly staged a one-on-one collision.

With one step forward, O'Neill leaned forward and slammed back.

Bang-!
Olajuwon felt hit by a truck at full throttle.

Unconvinced by his old age, he gritted his teeth and pushed his body up, covering the entire sky with his hands, showing his stubbornness.

O'Neill's second shovel came in a hurry.

At that moment, Olajuwon felt that he was hit by a huge force and hit him to the edge of retirement.

Breaking out of the offensive space, O'Neal quickly turned around, took a step, jumped up, and dunked vigorously with both hands.

boom--!
The whole body is hung on the basket.

The basket creaked and shook a few times, as if trembling.

0:2.

"Dameng, let's see his weakness?"

Mike Breen said in surprise, "Dream has no weaknesses, he is...he is a hexagonal center.

The most comprehensive super center in the history of the league, he is too comprehensive.

It's just a pity that he met O'Neill who can only use brute force.

In the first duel, O'Neal won a bit unrealistically. Olajuwon has not yet shown his almighty defensive skills! "

"This is very O'Neill, who likes to eat sweets, is too lazy, can only practice strength, and can only do one trick.

He could have kept up with Dameng's footsteps and turned into a more comprehensive one. "

"..."

Jabbar was stunned.

Why can't I understand what you are saying?

O'Neal scored a goal easily, and Olajuwon was almost buckled.

Why do you look down on O'Neal's style of play?

So what?
What about the hexagonal center?

Olajuwon, still can't stand it!
Dixon also passed the ball to Olajuwon in the frontcourt.

He was beaten into one by O'Neill just now, and he wants to return one.

Catching the ball with his back, turning to face the basket, Olajuwon lifted the ball and dribbled a step deep. O'Neal was next to him, pulled the ball and lifted it to the basket, and immediately turned to the right. O'Neal pounced like a cat.
