After half a month of recovery training, the Lakers' coaching staff was completely relieved, in their opinion, Liu Han is better than before the ban, first of all, it can be seen from his endurance, compared to before, now Liu Han's endurance is much better, in the test of running for 12 minutes, Liu Han can now run 4,500 meters in 12 minutes, you know, the world record of 5,000 meters is 12 minutes and 37 seconds, Liu Han's result can even represent some weak track and field countries in the Olympic Games.

On April 2, 1998, Liu Han finally ushered in the first game of his comeback, and they will face the New Jersey Nets away from home.

This game has received a lot of attention under the promotion of the league, after all, the first young player in the league recently in addition to the cold-faced man of the Spurs is Kobe Bryant of the Nets, compared to Tim Duncan, who looks a little dull, Kobe Bryant is undoubtedly more loved by fans.

In an interview before the game, Kobe Bryant said that he would do his best to defend Liu Han in this game, and although he admired Liu Han's ball skills, he would not be afraid. Kobe, who was prompted by his agent, would not easily say something out of line in public, although he really didn't like Liu Han very much in his heart.

And Liu Han also said in an interview before the game: "Kobe Bryant is a very good player, it is my honor to participate in the draft with him, I think this game will be a wonderful matchup." Liu Han's words actually didn't mean anything else, he just said what he wanted to say, but these words are said in the eyes of people with a heart, although you Kobe Bryant was selected in the thirteenth, and I, Liu Han, was selected in the twenty-fourth, but now it is you Kobe Bryant who finally left the Lakers, and I Liu Han is much better than you.

Everything before the game is put behind when it gets on the field, and any player who wants to be a superstar has to put his or her heart and soul into the game.

In this game, Liu Han was not placed on the bench as some media speculated, but started directly, and the Lakers' lineup returned to the lineup of the best performance of the season.

The point guard is still Steve Nash, through the grinding of the game, Nash is now performing better and better, and his three-point shooting even has some Liu Han's style, excellent speed, and the shooting percentage is also good.

Liu Han played as a scoring guard, and his performance can be said to be the most concerned by fans.

Small forward is Ray Allen, this season, not only has Ray Allen's three-point ability grown rapidly, but his defensive ability has also been developed, and during Liu Han's suspension, he was the main force of the Lakers' outside defense.

The power forward is Robert Horry, who has been very conscientious since he entered the Lakers, but his fiery temper often causes some unnecessary trouble.

The center is still O'Neal, and now O'Neal has been called the league's No. 1 center by the media, and with the aging of Olajuwon, David Robinson and Ewing, O'Neal can now be said to be the representative of the traditional center. During Liu Han's ban, he made many people recognize his status with his near-invincible performance.

On the Nets' side, the Nets have finally started to rise this season with the addition of Keith Van Horn and Kobe Bryant, who won 26 of their 82 regular-season games last season, and now they have a 37-35 record so far this season, with a win percentage of more than 50% to guarantee them a spot in the last eight in the East. As long as they don't drop the chain in the next ten games, it is estimated that they will likely make it to this year's playoffs.

The game started with O'Neal jumping ball in the middle circle to win. Ronny Secali, the Nets' center from Lebanon, is no match for O'Neal at all.

Ray Allen snatched the ball from O'Neal, and he passed the ball directly to Liu Han, who had already launched a fast attack, as soon as possible.

Liu Han received the ball two steps outside the three-point line in the Nets' half, and after receiving the ball, he was in front of Kobe's defense. Kobe Bryant was very focused in this game, he saw Liu Han running towards his own half at the beginning of the jump ball, so he followed Liu Han closely, and finally interrupted Liu Han's fast attack.

I haven't seen Liu Han's domineering and elegant shooting in the league for two months, and everyone has some expectations.

The arc of the ball thrown by Liu Han was not as high as before, but it was unusually fast, and the ball did not touch any position in the basket, and flew directly into the net.

Kobe Bryant was stunned for a moment just now, and Liu Han seized the opportunity to shoot three points, and this three points also announced to everyone that he Liu Han was back.

The Lakers have 10 games left in the regular season and are 62-10 so far, and if they win the next 10 games, the Lakers will tie the 72-10 record set by the Bulls in the '95-96 season. Liu Han wanted to lead the team to this glory very much, so at the beginning of the game, Liu Han played very seriously.

The Nets served on the bottom line, and Kassel tried to hit Nash with the ball after half the court, but he underestimated Nash's defense, although Nash's body is still not strong, but his defensive attitude is very serious, and Kassel's back hit was almost stealed by Nash.

Kassel struggled to control the ball and passed it to Keith Van Horn, who held the ball and was about to throw, causing Horry to jump, but he hit the ground and tried to pass the ball to Kobe Bryant, who was running back.

However, Kobe Bryant didn't get the ball, Liu Han just let Kobe Bryant run back was a trap, he directly saw through Van Horn's passing ideas, and stepped over to Van Horn's passing line to steal the ball.

After the steal, Liu Han took the ball to the Nets in the half, and the Nets collectively quickly returned to defense, but then Kobe's speed could keep up with Liu Han.

Liu Han rushed forward with the ball, next to him was Kobe Bryant, who was closely following, Kobe Bryant was very careful this time, he knew that Liu Han had the ability to jump suddenly, so he didn't dare to surpass Liu Han suddenly, so he could only follow behind Liu Han.

Liu Han suddenly stopped when he entered the three-point line, Kobe Bryant thought that Liu Han was going to shoot three points again, so he immediately prepared to close Liu Han, but what Kobe didn't expect was that Liu Han's pause this time was just a feint, and the rhythm of his dribbling was not chaotic, but accelerated again and threw off Kobe.

After Kobe Bryant, Liu Han hit the three-second zone, he jumped high, made a big loop with his left hand, and dunked the ball into the basket.

In fact, many fans of this ball just now will think that Liu Han's dunk is really beautiful, but in the eyes of those who care, Liu Han's previous emergency stop is the most powerful, you know, in the high-speed dribbling suddenly stopped, and then accelerated again, and the rhythm of ball control is not chaotic at all, this kind of emergency stop and start requires extremely high body control ability, and the pressure on the knees will also be very great, and players with average physical conditions can't do it at all.

As soon as the game began, Liu Han announced his return with two different offensive methods, and he wanted to use his performance to prove to the world that even if he went to play football, he was still the king of basketball. (To be continued.) )
