I was the owner of the Lakers

O’Neal didn’t play much time in the preseason for the next half month, and the longest was the last preseason game, where O’Neal played 20 minutes.

Xiao Yang is no longer too lazy to take care of this fat man, anyway, it should be this season, and he doesn’t want to see this lazy fish in the team next season.

Kobe Bryant was not as amazing as the first game in the following games, but for a rookie, the data of 22 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists is enough to make people look forward to his future, and the media in Los Angeles regard Kobe as the future of the Lakers, the son of hope.

Xiao Yang also wrote several names for Plank, all rookies in the class of ’96, all in the middle and late of the first round, and the rookies in the early part of the lottery basically have a company offer a sneaker contract as soon as they are selected by the team

Iverson, Marbury, these NCAA geniuses have not yet been drafted, manufacturers have come to the door to present an endorsement contract, but this year’s Kobe’s contract covers up the brilliance of others.

Xiao Yang also did not write much, just wrote two names, a future son of the wind, Steve Nash, and a Jermaine O’Neill.

Both of these are late bloomers, Nash, the next two MVPs, the style of play is very ornamental, especially the elusive pass, one of the few players in history who can make fans orgasm with passing.

The representatives of such players like magicians and white chocolate are loved by fans, even if Nash only reached the peak after the age of thirty, Under Armour was regarded as an emotional investment in the previous years, and the later earnings will definitely not disappoint Xiao Yang.

What’s more, Xiao Yang’s offer to Nash is a 10-year 10 million contract, and a million dollars a year is not too much of an expense for Under Armour, but for a rookie like Nash in the middle of the first round, it is like pie in the sky.

As for O’Neal Jr., Xiao Yang vaguely remembers that in the Blazers because there is no place for him, so he stumbled for a few years, until he went to the Pacers to gradually grow into a 20+10 star player, although there is a saying that inside players do not sell shoes, but Under Armour can not all only sign the outside line, so Xiao Yang also gave a 7-year $4 million endorsement contract, which can be regarded as filling the market of Under Armour’s big man.

As for the rookies of the Lakers, one by one they also signed an endorsement contract of hundreds of thousands, it is worth mentioning that except for Kobe, no one else has their own signature shoes, after all, Xiao Yang treats Kobe as an Under Armour brother to cultivate.

Ask for flowers, ask for collection ~~~~~~

On November 1, 1996, the Lakers hosted the Phoenix Suns, and the first game of the regular season of the Lakers officially began, and the 96-97 season began.

Lakers starters, O’Neal, Horry, Jones, Bobby Phils and Fisher.

Xiao Yang told Harris that because Kobe is only 17 years old now, strictly speaking, the body is not fully mature, so let him start for the time being, the province faces the ravages of the league’s group of muscle sticks, first on the bench, at least in the face of someone else’s substitute, the pressure is not so great, and there is also an advantage in the bench is that the ball is basically Kobe alone, you can play as you want, unlike the starters and a few big guys who want the ball.

Xiao Yang also broke his heart for Kobe, and only hoped that Kobe’s performance next season would give him the confidence to trade the Sharks.

Bobby Phils was also traded by West with the former Lakers center Elden Campbell, this year the inside is more valuable than the outside, not to mention Campbell can cut 14+7 data last season, but Phils is also good, last season in the Cavaliers can also cut 14+3+3 data, more importantly, can shoot 44% three-point shooting, a shooter-type player.

This is also Xiao Yang specially explained, must ensure the space on the court, especially this year with the presence of O’Neal, the attraction of the inside line must be unprecedented, the outside line will definitely easily get a lot of shooting space, so O’Neill paired with several players basically have a hand shooting ability, even Horry is also a space type No. 4.

On the bench sat Bryant, Bowen, Big Ben, Byron Scott, Fleming, Jeromi Corsey and Tyresnight and, of course, several water coolers.

The Suns’ starter is Holt Williams (2.11 tall, 98 kg bamboo pole) Danny Manning, who has just been traded by the Lakers in the offseason, and the backcourt is Wisley Burson and Kevin John.

On the Suns’ bench are two future Hall of Famers, Jason Kidd and Steve Nash, Kidd is John’s backup, Nash is Kidd’s backup… In addition to this, there are Michael Finley and others.

Xiao Yang saw Kevin John on the court, and suddenly thought whether he was playing in the NBA, as long as it was called Kevin, he would be very hanging? Think of this Kevin John, the fierce man who once competed with Jordan against each other, and Kevin Garnett, who is now about to become the wolf king in the Timberwolves, the future god of death Kevin Durant and the god of love Kevin Loafer, the most frequent all-star guests, and in the future, call them scouts to stare specifically at the player named Kevin, Xiao Yang touched his chin and thought.

At the beginning of the game, O’Neal still jumped to the ball without suspense, Fisher did not play fast after receiving the ball, this is not like the summer league or preseason are some young people, playing fast attack can run a few steps, now there is a big shark on the court, the Lakers can only wait slowly for the shark to play the position, but this is also the advantage of the Lakers, after all, O’Neal’s dominance is historic.

O’Neill landed in a low position, not stuck, and directly stretched out his hand and waved at Fisher.

Fisher did not dare to refute the face of the boss, and honestly passed the ball in.

Poor Williams couldn’t do anything to O’Neill at all, weighing less than a hundred kilograms, O’Neill stood in front of him, almost covering Williams completely.

O’Neal who got the ball is not nonsense, luck step directly turned and took off, Williams only felt a black overhead, a mountain of meat blocked the lights above Staples tightly, then Duang’s sound, the floor shook one after another, and when Williams came back to his senses, he only saw O’Neal stepping on the overlord step back to the Lakers half.

“Hey, man, it’s okay.” Danny Manning looked at Williams and asked with concern, afraid that his teammate would be psychologically shadowed by the shark.

“Didn’t… It’s okay. Williams shook his head.

“Well, I’ll come over and pinch O’Neill with you in the next round.” Manning patted him on the shoulder and drove the ball to Johnson.

It was the turn of the Sun’s attack, John Xun used his own rhythm to turn Fisher around, after all, he is not an old fish, and he is completely incomparable to the old monster of the Sun in experience, breaking through Fisher’s John Xun straight into the basket, O’Neal is not slow, throw Williams over to make up for the defense, John Xun unhurriedly a back pass, thrown to Ceballos who cut in empty, he blocked O’Neal by inertia, Ceballos received the pass and saw that no one was blocking, and immediately jumped up is a pop dunk, As O’Neill’s return fire just now.

“Ah~~~” After the dunk, Ceballos was very excited, and he threatened to teach his old club a lesson before the game, at this time, this dunk seemed to be a footnote to his pre-game rhetoric, like the Lakers group of management to prove their worth.

O’Neill looked at Jones a little depressed, signaling him not to leak people.

The Lakers continue to land slowly, after all, there is a bug, not targeting this point to blow up the opponent can only prove that the head coach is an idiot, Harris is the silver fox who won the best head coach, the tactics arranged are O’Neal to eat, before the Suns did not respond effectively, the Lakers only had this tactic.

O’Neill took the ball, one step, knock~ Williams even heard the muffled sound of the sternum, gritted his teeth and continued to carry it deadly.

Danny Manning saw Williams’ grinning appearance, estimated that he could not hold on, left Horry alone, and chose to sandwich O’Neal with his teammates.

O’Neill was about to take a second blow, saw the sun coming again and was ready to pinch himself, and didn’t care, didn’t pass the ball, held the ball in advance, a flexible turn, and drilled between the two before Manning’s pinch was formed, just looking at this action is absolutely unimaginable that this is a fat man of more than three hundred pounds can do.

Xiao Yang was watching this scene on the sidelines at this time with his mouth wide open, flexible and fat… There really are such people.

Back on the court, O’Neal got through the pockets of the two and directly faced the unguarded basket, jumped decisively, and prepared to dunk.

Manning watched O’Neal jump up in front of him, regardless of whether the referee could see it or not, grabbed O’Neal’s jersey and wanted to rip him off, Williams also reacted this way, pulling O’Neal’s other jersey, preferring to let the sharks take the penalty than let him turn over in the box.

It’s a pity that both underestimated O’Neill’s strength, and O’Neill with two people was not pulled down, but relied on a huge momentum to take the two to the bottom line, the bully lifted the top, the shark burst the dunk, Duang, it can be said that O’Neill took the weight of three people to a destructive dunk, and the powerful force made the rebounds shake in bursts.

“Squeak~Squeak~” The basket sounded twice, and then the entire basket that swayed was directly folded, and the three people who had just fallen to the ground were slapped on the head by the rebound.

This Staples exploded, the flash card wiped the card brightly, and the confused referee also reacted, damn it, this is to lay the basket to the whole body, first see if there is anything wrong with the person, fortunately, the three people were just knocked by the rebound, and they were not injured.

The game is over, and the basket is changed before you can continue the game.
