Chapter 500 The Lakers’ Debut Begins

The new season is about to start.

Li Shengli naturally rushed to Los Angeles in advance. A series of physical examinations before joining the team has never been a big problem. As for choosing the jersey number...no one needs to say, because if Li Shengli does not use No. 33, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar will be the first to disagree, so Wei Ste, the general manager, didn't even let Li Shengli choose him, so he made the decision directly.

…

Let’s talk about the Lakers’ current coaching staff and main lineup.

The head coach is Del Harris, the one who asked Divac and Campbell to team up to deal with Li Shengli's shoulder injury in the playoffs. However, there was nothing to say when they were each their own boss, but Campbell was a little embarrassed...

Divac had some reservations at the time, but he had none. He never expected that Li Shengli would come to the Lakers. This made him panic all day long. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that the boss wanted to beat him up. When he thought about it, based on Li Shengli's past urine behavior, it seemed impossible that he could really ride a horse, right?

In addition to Campbell who is now the main power forward, the main shooting guard is Eddie Jones, the point guard is Nick Van Exel, and the small forward is Cedric Ceballos. The strength of the lineup under this old team It's still okay, everyone performs well in their respective positions.

Except for Divac being used to trade Kobe with the Hornets, the main lineup has not changed much, and the old team is all qualified for the playoffs. Therefore, after the main center Divac becomes Li Shengli, there is no need to worry about the playoffs. What fans want to see is how far can the Lakers go this season?

You know, the Dallas Mavericks led by Li Shengli came out of the quagmire of last place in the Western Conference. In the first round of the first season, they went directly to the finals in the second season. Although the Lakers' team has There is no superstar, but compared with the previous Mavericks, they are better in all aspects. At least the third position is not as weak as the Mavericks. Even small forward Ceballos was the Lakers' first offensive player before.

But the NBA is not a strategy game based on paper strength.

The most effective way to prove competitiveness is naturally to rely on games and data. And I don't know how the first day of the new season was arranged. The opponent of the Lakers' new lineup turned out to be the Dallas Mavericks who were once led by Li Shengli.

Lakers beat Mavericks?

The boss has moved. What is the official arrangement asking for? Is it to prove that the Mavericks will be paralyzed without Li Shengli, or that the Lakers will take off with Li Shengli? !

But no matter what, the attention of this game was much higher than the other 13 games that day. What's even more damning is that this game was the Mavericks' home court. The Lakers enjoyed the extremely "enthusiastic" reception from Dallas fans as soon as they arrived at the arena.

…

Bang bang bang!

In the Lakers locker room before the game, head coach Harris clapped his hands to signal the players to start the pre-game mobilization meeting. If preseason games are not counted, this was the first appearance of the Lakers' new lineup. Everyone also gave Harris face and gathered. Together.

It's just that the relationship between the old team and the new boss is not yet so harmonious, so the old team headed by Ceballos and the new boss Li Shengli have maintained a certain distance. It is not considered hostile. After all, it always takes time and a few games to break the ice. The competition promotes it.

However, this does not mean that Li Shengli is temporarily isolated, because Crotty, the number one fan, has also joined the Lakers, plus the two new rookies Kobe and Fisher, they have been getting along well recently.

…

"Okay guys! Today is the first day of the new season and a new beginning, so forget everything before and try to win this first game!" Harris glanced at Li Shengli secretly, while Campbell glanced secretly. Watching Harris roll his eyes, feeling bitter.

Forget everything before?

Just forget it if you say you’ve forgotten it?

Don't even look at this lunatic Crotty. Damn it, you're always thinking about me touching Li Shengli. His eyes that look like dead people usually make me feel scared.

However, Harris didn't care what Campbell thought. He looked at Li Shengli and said with a smile: "Li, today is an important day for you. Everyone is waiting to see you perform, so we will come on stage soon." , I will ask everyone to try their best to cooperate with you. Winning is the basis, but ensuring that your data shows the fans our hope is also one of the most important things."

"Coach Harris, if you say that and let me fight, do you still want to fight? It depends on the situation later. There is no need to fight around one spot." Li Shengli teased and turned around to look at New teammates, this sentence was still open. A group of old Lakers players smiled kindly, and Harris nodded.

We are not afraid that the players are incompetent, but we are afraid that the players are dumb!

Harris is the head coach, and what he fears most is that there will be a thorn in the team, causing the entire team to become a mess and infighting, which will affect the team's overall record. This kind of thing is something that no team in the league can win. Fortunately, Li Shengli doesn't have this problem. Even though he is now a super star selected into the 50 superstars, this sentence is too open.

So Harris' pre-game meeting continued, talking about the basic core tactics, and by the way, today's starting lineup was also decided. Needless to say, center Li Shengli, power forward Campbell, small forward Cedric Ceballos, point guard Nick Van Exel, shooting guard Eddie Jones.

…

"Crotty, you have to wait first. I will go up and beat Kidd and Kevin to tears first. As long as the Mavericks give Curry the shot, Harris will definitely replace you." Li Shengli lowered his voice. He made a loud noise, obviously not wanting others to hear him. After all, Crotty had already followed him. As the first boy, if he couldn't even touch the ball, I always felt sorry for him.

"Okay!" Crotty never rejected Li Shengli, maintaining the style of saying nothing after three slaps.

"Okay, it's going to happen soon. Don't be soft-hearted when you see Curry."

"I won't show mercy!"

"Ahem, but it can't be too dark!"

Li Shengli and Crotty chatted for a while. As time passed, the game started immediately. The Lakers also walked out of the locker room, while the Mavericks' starting lineup did not change much.

Center Oliver Miller was brought over from the Raptors to replace the inside man who lost Li Shengli, power forward Garnett, small forward McLeod, point guard Kidd, and shooting guard Curry, but the ones that caught the eye were Kidd and Curry. , Garnett...are all bald.

What the hell is going on?

Could it be the Dallas Bald Raid?

Li Shengli looked at the three bald men on the opposite side, and then touched his own crew cut. Although active players basically all have this hairstyle, few people can be so completely bald, especially Garnett... Li Shengli felt right. He breathed and wiped his head, and the reflection could almost be used as a mirror.

…

"Those two bastards Lee and Crotty saw us." Garnett stole a glance at the Lakers' formation.

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's show them how powerful we are today." Kidd was eager to give it a try.

"You all listen to me, whoever gets blown up by them today should go back and have his head shaved, because here, only the strong have the right to grow hair, and the weak... are not worthy of having hair!" Kulizaan He raised his fists and said to the teammates next to him.

Digging?

What the hell is this?

The new Fat Miller touched the beloved curly hair on his head, looked at Curry, and then at Li Shengli, feeling bitter in his heart. Others may not be sure, but he had never eaten when he met Li Shengli. Good fruit, but this devil’s request is too personal.

"Curry, if we all explode today, wouldn't it be the glory of the team..."

"Shut up!" Kidd, Curry, and Garnett now control the Mavericks' locker room, and all three of them looked at Fat Miller. Garnett laughed and said, "This game is not good for us. A few of them are very important, and you...Miller, if you collapse today, we will definitely operate on you first!"

"Yes, you'd better work harder!" Kidd patted Miller.

"Okay, it's time to set off. The goal...defeat Bald Li and win!" Curry looked up to the sky and shouted, "Brothers, after training hard for thirty days and nights, we have become bald and stronger. Now... let Li Look at our bald union!”
