In the first year of entering the NBA, the Lakers won the NBA championship, and George Mikan was the main force of the team. McCann, who is 2.08 meters tall, is unbeatable in the restricted area. In the 195 1- 1952 season, the NBA even widened the three-second zone to limit his score, from 6 feet to 12 feet. Although the Lakers were eliminated by the Rochester Royals in the Western Conference finals this season, in the following three seasons (1952-53, 1954-55 and 1955-56), the Lakers won the championship in succession, completing the first three consecutive championships in the team's history.

In the NBA draft of 1958, the Lakers selected Elgin Baylor. 1960, the Lakers moved to Los Angeles and selected Jerry West in the same year's draft. 1960-6 1 season, baylor averaged 34.8 points per game and teamed up with west to make the Lakers play 36-43 in the playoffs.

However, due to the existence of another giant team, the Boston Celtics, led by the team's main center Bill Russell, repeatedly blocked the Lakers in the playoffs. During this period, the Lakers entered the finals eight times, but all won the runner-up.

197 1-72 season, Elgin Baylor retired due to injury. This season, the Lakers hired bill sharman as their head coach. Shaman led the Lakers to a record of 69 wins 13 losses, including 33 consecutive victories in the middle of the season. ? In the playoffs, the Lakers won the championship without any difficulties.

1976 In the offseason, the Lakers got Abdel-Gabbar who later became the main center of the team.

1979-80 season, the Lakers selected Owen Johnson. In the sixth game of this season's finals, Jabbar was injured. At that time, rookie Johnson stepped forward, changed from guard to center, scored 42 points 15 rebounds and 7 assists to help the Lakers win the championship and get FMVP.

OK combination

1996 In the summer, the Lakers signed free agent shaquille o'neal, traded Vlade Divac and Cash for the Charlotte Hornets, and got the draft pick of 13, forming a "ok" combination. When the Lakers were 56-26 in the regular season and ranked fourth in the West, they were eliminated by Jazz14 in the second round of the playoffs.

From 65438 to 0999 to 2000, Phil Jackson became the head coach of the Lakers. When the Lakers eliminated the Trailblazers after seven thrilling games last season, they reached the finals.

A brief trough

In the 2004-05 season, O 'Neill and Kobe Bryant were doomed to leave because of the intensification of internal contradictions in the team. After a painful choice, the Lakers chose to renew their contract with Kobe and rebuild around Kobe. Phil Jackson left the team sadly this year, while O 'Neal was traded to the Heat for Odom, brian grant and Butler. Reconstruction is a long and painful wait.

In the 2005-06 season, Kobe created the second highest single-game score in NBA history: 8 1 point, while the Lakers made an unwise deal to exchange Caron Butler for Kwame Brown, the top pick of the Wizards in 2006, with the intention of strengthening the inside. However, Brown's arrival did not bring much help to the Lakers' insiders. Steve Nash's Phoenix Suns were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.

In the first round of the playoffs, facing the Oklahoma City Thunder led by Kevin Durant, he advanced 4-2.

Then Steve Nash, who led the team to eliminate the Lakers, was introduced, and they formed a new "F4" combination with Kobe Bryant and Gasol. However, due to the running-in problem, the performance of the new "F4" combination is disappointing: zero wins and eight losses in the preseason and one win and four losses in the first five games of the regular season. 2012165438+1October 9, Lakers management had to fire head coach Michael Brown.

In the game, Nick Young and Farmar left early due to injury, Chris Kaman fouled six times, and Robert Sacre finally fouled six times. However, as there were only four players left in the team, Thackeray, who committed six fouls, had to stay on the court in order to ensure the number of players. In the end, the team won only 27 games and ended the season ahead of schedule.

On July 29th, 20 14, the Lakers officially announced Byron Scott as the new coach of the team.
