Chapter 63 Fighting the Lakers with all strength (for collection)
On December 1996, 12, entering the December schedule, every team became very nervous, because the running-in at the beginning of the season has passed, and this time is the time to exert strength. The state of each team They will be at their peak, so even the fans at this time watch the football very refreshingly.

The current home arena of the Lakers is called the Great Western Forum. Before Staples started construction, this arena witnessed the Lakers' previous 6 championships. The number of championship banners above the arena is the highest in the entire league. The second most, after the Boston Celtics.

"Dear viewers, hello everyone. Welcome to the NBA regular season game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Orlando Magic at home brought by NBC. This game is our national live broadcast game. I am your old friend Mike Bur Lin, and the one next to me is also a familiar face, Hubie Brown. Hubie, who do you prefer for this game?" In the commentary, Mike Breen introduced himself, and then immediately got to the point .

Hubie Brown is a highly respected old coach in the NBA, and as a commentator, some of his views are very popular: "In this game, it is obvious that the Lakers have a greater chance of winning. The Magic have just changed coaches and are still in turmoil. period, and even in terms of real strength, the Magic are no match for the Lakers."

"Then what do you mean, O'Neal will indeed show a performance that the Magic will regret in this game?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Before this game, another interesting thing happened. Before that, he scored 34 points in his NBA debut, and scored 35 points in a single quarter in the second game. He broke the NBA scoring record in a single quarter in two consecutive games. Jonny Lee, who was lost in the game some time ago, and before this game, he yelled something that everyone, especially Mitch Kupchak, would regret. A performance that everyone regrets?"

Hubie Brown shook his head and said: "I don't think so, I have watched that little guy's game, to be honest, his Eurostep is indeed very powerful, but in the NBA, it is legal in the hand-check Under the circumstances, his set is simply unable to succeed in the NBA, so unless he can improve his Eurostep, otherwise, the situation of this game will not be better than the previous few games , Perhaps as Del Harris said, if the current head coach of the Magic really lets that little guy play, it will be a benefit to the Lakers."

Hubie Brown is not very optimistic about Jonny, but Rich Adubatu still wants to give it a try. Before the start of this game, he has already announced the starting lineup for this game. Jonny Lee once again appeared in the In the starting lineup, Nick Anderson, who lost his starting position again, was also very helpless, but he couldn't say harsh words. After all, his performance was also very bad in the last Magic defeat, and he had an unforgivable burden. Responsibility, and Rich Adubatu took him from the starting lineup, and he had nothing to say.

In a private room in the auditorium of the Great Western Forum arena, the Lakers godfather Jerry West and his assistant Mitch Kupchak sat inside, watching the warm-up of the players on the field.

"Mitch, I have already understood that matter. Although that player is indeed not capable, but next time, don't do this again. You know, every year, from the second round, or even later There are still many good players, even star players, who came out of the draft. If you really look down on these unknown players, one day, you will regret it.” Created by Jerry West After showtime and later the ok dynasty, as the godfather of the Lakers, his experience is of course very rich. Regarding Mitch Kupchak’s rejection of Jonny’s trial training before the draft, although he would not feel angry, but A small caveat is necessary.

Johnny was warming up on the sidelines. In the Lakers lineup, he didn't see Kobe Bryant's weirdness. This made Johnny feel sympathetic and gloating. Could it be that guy also performed too poorly? up?Can't even get into the big list?In fact, Johnny was really wrong. Although Kobe Bryant's status in the Lakers is not as high as that of Johnny, at least there will be a main substitute position. But before this game, Kobe's feet were a little uncomfortable, so the game was called a truce.

Johnny looked at the players warming up on the Lakers field. He didn't know anyone he knew, 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 Wuji Juggernaut's E skill Wulito Three Points. This skill cost 8 skill points, and he spent another 3 skill points to learn Wuji Sword Saint's W skill, this skill is learned in case of lack of physical strength.And after learning these two skills, in this match, Jonny will use up the chance of Riven's trial.Of course, there are also the special effects of that energy point and net eclipse, as well as healing.

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

"As for the Magic, they have just undergone a coaching change. New coach Rich Adubatu's starting lineup is different from the previous games. The starting point guard is Darryl Armstrong, and the starting shooting guard is Joe. Neely, the starting small forward is Dennis Scott, the starting power forward is Anfernee Hardaway, and the starting center is Horris Grant. This lineup is a typical small lineup. It’s time to focus on small tactics.”

"It is worth mentioning that Jonny Lee has returned to the starting lineup in this game. It seems that Rich Adubatu still wants to give Jonny more opportunities. Ability."

"That's right. In fact, Rich Adubatu doesn't have any good options now. If Johnny can break out, he will have hope, so Rich Adubatu can only take a gamble." The commentator quickly introduced the current situation on the court, and the game has already begun. Hollis Grant lost to Eldon Campbell with a jump ball, and the Lakers attacked first.

This Lakers team is still very strong. Except for the small forward Jerome Kersey who is old and has a deviation in strength, the backcourt combination Van Exel and Eddie Jones are young in the league. sent players, and Elden Campbell is also a pretty good blue-collar player, plus Shaquille O'Neal, the Lakers' superficial strength 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 inside giant, so there is no rule in the Lakers' tactics to hand over the ball to the boss at halftime. After all, O'Neal is an insider and always If you call the inside line, the inside line will be very tired.So this ball, Van Exel controlled the ball for a while, it seemed that Darryl Armstrong didn't defend him very closely, so he directly hit a three-pointer on the spot.

Swish!Three points hit!

"Van Exel directly shot a three-pointer and hit it! Darryl Armstrong's first start this season, he was a little nervous, and he even forgot the characteristics of Van Exel." Van Exel, The nickname Fan Crazy means that he shoots like a lunatic, without any scruples, and he will shoot if he thinks he can. Therefore, when marking such a player, the most important thing to watch out for is his shooting anytime, anywhere.

And Darryl Armstrong was so dazed that he was attacked by Van Exel and made a three-pointer. He keeps an eye on his people.
