The Rest, Only Noise

Latest URL: On October 17, the Lakers team flew to Las Vegas to participate in the 1997-98 NBA preseason.

Their first opponent is the Minnesota Timberwolves.

This team took over from Danny Manning, and its goal is to reach the playoffs in the new season.

Although Manning is already well-known as the snake of the team, in Mingzhou, no matter how he acts as a demon, he will not get the attention he used to.

Moreover, he now belongs to the lowest ebb of fame and trade value.

If you can't settle down and play well in the Timberwolves, the next stop may be abroad.

With Manning in a good mood, Van Horn, who is highly anticipated, plus Ray Allen, who is improving steadily, and Dana Barros, who was traded from the Lakers, the Timberwolves still have a good lineup on the surface.

It's just that it's no match for the Lakers.

Against his old master, Baros wanted to prove himself.

Even if it's just an insignificant preseason game, he wants to play well.

However, in Game 1 of the preseason, the Lakers showed the depth of the roster that no team can match.

Dejan Bodiloga made his debut on behalf of the Lakers. In 19 minutes, he scored 14 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 turnovers. Duncan faced the league's top power forward Manning and did not fall behind.

Manning, who wanted to educate newcomers, did not take advantage of it.

The Timberwolves are simply not enough to compete with the Lakers on the balance of victory. After the whole game, 126 to 100, the Lakers won by a big score.

"It won't take long for Tim Duncan to become a problem for the league." Even a rotten person like Manning praised Duncan again and again, "He will become a famous figure."

At the same time, Baros finally knew why he, the champion master, was traded without warning.

Bodi Loga's performance has said it all.

"I decided to move on."

When Barros was asked if there would be any personal emotions in the game against the Lakers, he said without sadness or joy.

The two core rookies of the Lakers are also unavoidable to be questioned.

Duncan said he has adapted to the daily routine of the Lakers.

A reporter asked him which teammate he likes the most.

Duncan didn't say "I like everyone" like a high-spirited person, he said by name: "I like Steve because he likes to cut it from a 45° angle like everyone from the Virgin Islands. Fruit, it tastes better this way."

Bodi Loga's style of play caused a sensation in the media circle.

His passing is reminiscent of Magician, while his technical moves are closer to Larry Bird.

The reporter's question is very typical: "What is the difference between the NBA and Europe?"

Bodi Loga's answer reflects his personality and true thoughts: "There is no difference, maybe the NBA is easier, because here, I have better teammates."

After that, Louis had to put a patch on his words: "De Young's English is not very good, sometimes he can't express his thoughts very well."

In the next few preseason games, the arena was full, and even the seats in the park outside the arena were full.

The star effect of the Lakers not only doubled the ticket price, but also made the peripheral products related to the team sell well in the casino.

Every game is like a well-arranged show.

Bodi Loga's style of play is quite popular, and he may be the most popular player for the Lakers in the preseason.

Even Wilson's limelight was overshadowed by him.

The Lakers ended their preseason game in Las Vegas undefeated, and when they returned to Los Angeles, Bodiloga got his first commercial endorsement in the United States.

The Coca-Cola Company discovered the commercial value of Bodi Loga, and after negotiations, they soon announced that they had signed a long-term contract with Bodi Loga.

As one of the spokespersons of Coca-Cola, Louis knew the details of Bodi Loga's signing.

The total is $30 million over 10 years.

The money earned from this endorsement alone has far exceeded Bodi Loga's rookie contract.

Even after enjoying the benefits of fame and fortune, Bodiloga still does not change his nature, as long as the training is over, he will sit by the side and eat dippindots.

Every time Duncan saw him eating ice cream, he joked: "In the next six months, if this company doesn't invite you to be their spokesperson, I will never eat their ice cream again."

Bodi Loga didn't care.

Duncan likes to joke around.

In fact, he laughed at everyone's jokes.

Everyone is becoming more and more convinced that Duncan will not become an unstable factor for the team.

On the contrary, it was the spotlights in the metropolis of Los Angeles and the countless reporters who were looking at the forum that made Duncan feel uncomfortable.

He doesn't enjoy being in the spotlight.

However, the Lakers have not always been safe and sound.

Life like Liu Yuqing is not easy.

Because there is a Kobe who is eyeing him.

Since the starting lineup was occupied by Liu Yuqing, and then Bodi Loga, a stinky fart king who brought arrogance and arrogance to a new level, came to the team, Kobe put aside the challenge of benj.

He first had to **** his starting position back from Liu Yuqing, and then get angry with Bodilo.

But it is not so easy to become a starter.

Liu Yuqing is like a tailor-made player for the Lakers' starting lineup.

Except for Liu Yuqing, the other four starting players of the Lakers all have the strength to be the core.

Therefore, starting at the second position must be a sacrifice point that does not occupy the ball.

And Liu Yuqing herself does not occupy the ball.

Therefore, he is very suitable for starting.

It's just that Kobe hasn't figured out the mystery yet.

He wanted to use his strength to prove that he was more suitable to start than Liu Yuqing. But in fact, what really hinders him from starting the game is precisely his lack of strength.

It's not that he is not as good as Liu Yuqing now, but that his strength is not so strong that Louis can ignore the suitability of the lineup and force Liu Yuqing to play as a substitute.

In other words, as long as Kobe's own strength reaches a certain level, there will be no problem of starting and substituting.

Without him arguing, Louis himself would put Liu Yuqing on the bench.

After all, it is an impossible task to expect Kobe to completely change his game tendency and play off the ball like Liu Yuqing.

October 31

regular season opener

The Lakers played against the rival Portland Trail Blazers in the same district at home.

As we all know, the Blazers have undergone major changes in the summer, and the new godfather of the team, Rick Pitino, has carried out a Korean-style plastic surgery on the team.

However, whether this transformation is as successful as Fukada-chan, or like the skinny Miyuki Arisaka who hangs two big iron **** on his chest, we have to see the aftereffect. ,

Jordan, Kidd, and Olajuwon, the names of these three appear on the same team, and it feels suffocating at first.

If you put it in Louis' previous life, no matter what, they would be regarded as the super big three.

However, like the Big Three of the Heat, they have no salary space due to the three big contracts in the team. Except for a few special cases that do not quench their thirst, a large number of people in the lineup need to be filled with basic salaries.

At this time, the thickness of the lineup mainly depends on whether the basic-salary players who come to fill the roster are leftovers that no one wants, or whether they are veterans who want to win the championship for the sake of honor and money.

The embarrassment of the Blazers is here.

There are quite a few veterans who have defected to them over the years, but none of them can fulfill their dreams.

Now that Fei Meng is an old man, he still has strength, but he is no match for the Lakers, so naturally no one will vote.

Therefore, the Blazers' roster is mainly populated by some older rookies who were not drafted, as well as fringe players who have experienced parallel imports from other teams and whose strength does not meet the requirements of the NBA.

And that's not the worst.

Worst of all, Pitino screwed up the middle-class exception.

He used the middle-level exception to sign a power forward named Tony Massenburgpf.

The biggest characteristic of this person is that he has no characteristics.

Since entering the nba in 1990, he has not lived a stable life. At the end of his rookie season, he was abandoned by his home team, went overseas to play for a year, returned to the NBA and changed four teams in five years, and then went overseas to play for a year.

In the past year, he played fairly well in the Clippers, and then he was picked up by Pitino.

In the absence of bids from the team and the Trail Blazers, they gave Massenberg a full mid-level contract.

Jordan can still hold back from playing baseball until now, Louis is convinced.

Unlimited youth is good. Although I am 35 years old, I can still run a few steps. The dream of being an NBA champion is impossible to realize, but at least the childhood dream of playing professional baseball can be realized.

Don't you really want to break Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's scoring record? He is still seven or eight thousand points away.

Tonight's game, nothing special.

The league arranged this schedule to give both sides a good start to the new season, but the Lakers' home award ceremony made the Blazers commit ptsd, so the whole team did not perform well.

And the performance of the Lakers, if you want to use one word to describe it, it is unsolvable.

The protective net formed by Garnett and Duncan allowed Olajuwon to make 6 of 24 shots from the game.

Wilson just ran tactics, fought back, ate cakes, scored 30 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists in 26 minutes.

Bodi Loga's career debut against Kidd has a lot of highlights.

The opponent is known as the elephant among the point guards, but he is only 193 centimeters, while Bodi Loga is 205 centimeters tall.

If Kidd is an elephant, Bodi Loga is a Tyrannosaurus Rex~www.novelmt.com~ The crushed Bodi Loga lightly scored a triple-double of 17 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists, while the opposite Kidd , although the shooting touch is not good, and he is always blocked when he breaks into the paint, but he also scored a quasi-triple double with 10 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists.

The much-anticipated Duncan's debut was as flat as his personal technical style.

In 30 minutes, he had 19 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 blocks. He had everything, but he wasn't eye-catching enough. He didn't score as much as Wilson. Everyone is putting on a show, only he is playing quietly.

If Louis hadn't praised his performance in the interview after the game, maybe the media would not have thought that this supernova, who was hailed as the grand prize before the draft, was the key to the Lakers' ability to limit Olajuwon tonight.

"I just did a little bit of work."

Speaking of his own performance, Duncan, who was sitting next to Louis, said this softly in front of countless microphones.
