Chapter 529: The First Game of the Regular Season——Galaxy Jazz

"I am very happy that we have won all the preseason games. The performance of the players is very good, but everything has just begun, and the regular season is the beginning."

Harris accepted the post-match interview with a smile. After crushing the Seattle SuperSonics again, the performance of the Lakers made the Silver Fox very satisfied.

Not just OK's progress.

Eddie Jones and Bowen's defensive improvement, Xiaoyu's more sophisticated three-pointers and defensive pressure, Daben's stronger body, and a group of veterans, the lineup system built with OK as the core is simply perfect.

From starters to substitutes, there are a large number of players who have the ability to play under high-intensity games. The addition of the veteran Mullin allows Horry to change his position more freely. He can start the game without worrying about the substitute problem, and he can also continue to serve as the team's sixth man. It can be said that the appearance of Mullin has greatly shared the pressure of Horry.

Substitute Xiaoyu, old Curry, Mullin, Horry, Big Ben, this super small lineup is simply terrifying!

With 4 shooters and a top assist defender, the three-point storm is extremely powerful.

This lineup actually allowed Kobe to see the shadow of the warriors of later generations. Isn't this the poor version of the Warriors' death five?

The Lakers have more people who can play! The system is more abundant! This is the biggest change for the Lakers this season!

Harris can arrange troops as he likes, and he already has several lineup systems in mind to arrange.

"Goal? Goal for this year?" Harris pushed his glasses.

"Of course the championship!"

"Championship, stop joking. As long as I'm here, Kobe won't be able to win the championship!" Karl Malone was full of spirits!

When Hornacek was traded to the Suns in the offseason and Richmond was acquired from the Kings, Karl Malone knew that the most prosperous period in the history of the Jazz team had arrived.

When Jordan, Pippen and the management were very unhappy, and Phil Jackson was even directly determined to leave the Bulls, Malone understood that the best chance to win the championship had come!

This season will be the best championship window in Malone's life. If he can't win the championship, Richmond will not necessarily stay in Utah next year.

From the welcome statement from the Jazz players to the management, Richmond didn't express much. It can be seen that he is not too satisfied with Utah's career. And the stingy team owner may not necessarily spend a lot of money to renew Richmond's contract next year, so there is only one chance to win the championship! That's it for this year!

Winning the MVP last year allowed Malone's ambitions to grow!

Not just MVP this year!

FMVP, I want it too!

October 31, 1997.

NBA season opening night!

The blockbuster game has the Bulls against the Celtics.

Jordan alone led the team to face the Celtics led by the legendary NCAA coach Pitino, composed of Bird II Van Horn, Tracy McGrady and Fat Toutuo.

The Spurs played against the Nuggets.

This year's super rookie, Tim Duncan, who is known as the combination of Lord of the Rings and Big Dream, made his debut.

Eagles vs. Magic.

How are the Magic Twins getting along under Chuck Daly? What kind of performance will they have against the strong civilian team coached by Wilkens in the East?

The next thing that attracted the most attention was the Lakers vs. Jazz.

The Great Western Forum Arena is still buzzing with people this day!

Lakers players filed out of the tunnel, each one drawing massive cheers.

"New season! It's started!" The magician cheered, and the 1997-1998 season officially started.

"Welcome to my new commentary partner! Collins!"

"Hello everyone." After being fired by the Pistons, Collins did not have the team to invite him to coach, but he was tired of the high-intensity work on the field. Coaching is not as simple as 996. So he chose to join NBC, and joined magicians to form a commentary team.

"The starting lineups of both sides are out!"

"Lakers: Kobe, Jones, Horry, Big Ben, O'Neal!"

"Jazz: Stockton, Richmond, Russell, Malone, Ostertag!"

"Change! The Lakers directly chose the combination of Big Ben and O'Neal. In order to avoid too little space, they put Horry on the court. Harris seems to have a deep memory of last year's playoffs. This lineup system is the best The system lineup that killed the new MVP Karl Malone."

"Target! This is a lineup for Karl Malone. Daben, a rookie, performed very well last year. I wonder if he has improved after an off-season?"

"There must be. I heard that the young players of the Lakers and Kobe set up a Mamba Academy together. Many newcomers went to participate. Anyway, just looking at the size, the big book has swelled a lot!"

"Ben feels more like playing rugby to me. He is not at all disadvantaged when placed with a top muscular man like Karl Malone. You must know that he is only in the second grade! It is hard to imagine that he will enter the body after 2 or 3 years. What kind of body type will the peak Ben be?"

"Kobe, you will lose this game." Karl Malone provoked.

"Oh? Really?" Kobe was noncommittal.

"Look! We have Mickey! Our team now has three superstars, and you only have two! 3 is greater than 2, you understand."

"Hehe." Kobe looked at Malone with an idiot's eyes, 3 is greater than 2? If only basketball were this easy!

I can beat all three of you alone!

"The Jazz's lineup system can be said to be the strongest in team history. It is difficult to pick out any faults from offense to defense." Collins said, showing envy. If last year's Pistons could have such a lineup system, he would It won't be dropped by T either.

"The Galacticos. This season, the Jazz is playing the Galacticos. If you exclude Houston, who will definitely water ski in the regular season, then the Jazz's lineup on paper is the strongest in the league."

"Impeccable, such a lineup is too perfect."

"But perfect things are often destroyed in a way that no one expected." The magician looked at Kobe with anticipation.

The referee threw the ball high into the sky above the Great Western Forum Arena. Under the retired jerseys of countless Hall of Fame superstars and the signs of countless WORLD CHAMPION, the game began.

O'Neal crushed the racket to Kobe.

Jump the ball aggressively!

Kobe pushed the ball steadily.

Who will defend me?

Richmond!

Yan Yan has a firm face. This is his first game in the new team. For the status of the team, he will do his best!

The basketball bounced back and forth in Kobe's hands.

pick and roll!

And Horry's pick-and-roll Kobe went straight to the middle distance.

Richmond circled back and blocked Kobe at the free throw line.

Up against!

The chest resists Kobe!

The corners of Kobe's mouth twitched slightly, did he think I was as thin as last year?

take off!

Adjust in the air!

CIC!

The basketball hits the board and enters the frame!
