Chapter 199: On the basis of achieving a legend

Liu Han didn't play very hard in the game against the Suns, only in defense he tried his best to defend Jason Kidd, who was already poor scorer, and as a result, Kidd only scored 8 points in the last game. In the offense, Liu Han only drove his teammates to score with passing and receiving shots, so after this game, Liu Han did not feel too tired.

The Lakers didn't have time to rest after their win over the Suns, and they rushed to San Francisco for the next day's game against the Golden State Warriors.

The Warriors completely fell into a rebuilding period after firing the legendary coach Nelson Sr. in the middle of the 94-95 season, and what worries Warriors fans more is that the team's management has also been extremely chaotic in the past two years, and now there is not even a star player in the team, and Eric Dampier, who participated in the 96 draft with Liu Han, and Boggs, the shortest of the active players, and Jim Jackson, who escaped from the Philadelphia 76ers, is also a good player. The Warriors have the worst roster in the entire league, and they can't even compare to the Grizzlies, who were only formed in '95, so their record is at the bottom of the league. The Warriors have only won 16 games so far, and they may not be able to reach even 20 wins this year.

Facing such a Warriors team, the Lakers will not find it too difficult even in back-to-back games on the road.

However, the rhythm of playing two games in a row in less than 24 hours also made the Lakers a little tired, their shooting percentage was not high from the beginning of the game, and the players' running was not active, only Liu Han remained stable.

Faced with such a situation, Liu Han directly took over the game, and he used his strong body and outstanding ball skills to score singles repeatedly, even if the Warriors wrapped Liu Han, there was no way to limit the scoring of this "perverted" guy.

The Warriors first used Jim Jackson to defend Liu Han alone, but found that Jackson's defensive attitude was not positive, so head coach Callesimo asked Clarence Witherspoon to defend Liu Han, but still could not prevent Liu Han from scoring, and the game directly turned into Liu Han's personal scoring show.

In the first quarter, Liu Han scored 29 points alone, directly expanding the score gap between the two teams to 14 points.

Entering the second quarter, the Lakers replaced the bench, and the Warriors now have no intention of catching up with the winning percentage at the end of the regular season, they are signing for the champion, so the Warriors also replaced the main players to make the bench, and the game played like an ordinary regular season, and it was more like the Warriors did not lag behind the Lakers by 14 points.

The Lakers' bench also played not very actively because of the opponent's lack of strength, but the gap in the score has been widened, because the Lakers' bench is also much stronger than the Warriors.

Liu Han did not reappear until the eighth minute of the second quarter, and since he had a lead of more than 20 points, Liu Han did not play strong singles again, but focused on passing and responding.

Entering the second half, the Warriors still played carelessly, but the Lakers' state recovered under the leadership of Liu Han, and the game began to become a three-point show for the Lakers, even O'Neal shot a three-point shot in the bottom corner, but unfortunately his three-point shot was ruthlessly rejected by the rebound, and his bottom corner shot smashed directly on the edge of the rebound. The hilarious shot made the bored Warriors fans burst into laughter.

Entering the fourth quarter, the Lakers directly replaced all the main players, and they were already preparing for the next victory.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Warriors 119-89 on the road, and Liu Han scored a quasi-triple-double of 47 points, 7 rebounds, and 12 assists.

The Lakers' next opponent is the Dallas Mavericks coached by Nelson Sr.

Nelson Sr. coached the New York Knicks 95-96 after being fired by the Warriors, but had to resign after a heart attack after he coached 59 games. The old Nelson was recovering from illness for the next year, but he was still reluctant to give up his basketball career, and finally after the Dallas Mavericks fired Jim Clemens, who led the team poorly, Nelson Sr. coached the Dallas Mavericks this season.

However, the Mavericks have a poor roster right now, with only Van Exel being considered a quasi-All-Star caliber on the team, and Michael Finley, a rookie who had performed well, was traded to the Lakers. The Mavericks also have the tallest Sean Bradley on the active roster, and his height of 2.29 meters will cause some problems for the Lakers' interior offense, but other than that, the Mavericks don't have any strong points.

However, George Krent did not dare to despise the Mavericks at all, the great thing about Nelson Sr. is that he can rejuvenate players who were otherwise overlooked, and what is even more surprising is that Nelson Sr. seems to have a "bombardment" aura on him, and any player can adapt to "bombardment" tactics after his tuning. Playing against a team like you don't know when he's going to break out, George Krent felt he had to put his heart and soul into the game.

Sure enough, to George Crent's surprise, the Mavericks exploded in this game.

Although Van Exel got the coveted championship ring with the Lakers, he was not happy at all, he was a strong and domineering man at heart, Van Exel always wanted to be the core, but his purpose was not for money, he was to satisfy his inner sense of ambition.

Luckily, Van Exel has been heavily used by Nelson Sr., and his brainless shooting options have changed dramatically after being tweaked by Nelson Sr., and although the Mavericks have a poor record this season, Van Exel has entered the top 10 scoring list with an average of 25.4 points per game.

At the beginning of the game, Van Exel and the Mavericks' outside Hubert Davis and Khalid Levis frequently fired from outside the three-point line, and the Lakers were stunned by the Mavericks' bombardment offensive mode.

Although the Lakers are known for their fast offense and accurate three-point shooting, so far, they have not encountered a team with a similar style to themselves, and the Mavericks' way of almost ignoring defense and just attacking quickly still makes the Lakers feel a little uncomfortable, and not everyone can still accept this "thrill" of five seconds of ending each offense.

Five minutes into the first quarter, the Lakers trailed the Mavericks by six points, and Van Exel had hit three shots from beyond the three-point line.

When the rest of the Lakers players were still a little confused, Liu Han stepped up again, first hitting back the opponent with a three-point in the offense, and then successfully blocked Hubert Davis's shot and counterattacked the dunk in the defense, and the Lakers narrowed the score gap to one point in just two attacks.

Nelson Sr. quickly called a timeout, he had to make some changes to Liu Han, and he couldn't let Liu Han score like this unscrupulously.

George Krent also told his players to pay attention to the speed of the defense and strengthen the defense, and he didn't want to lose in a game like this, because if he lost to the Mavericks in the bombardment, it would make the players lose confidence in the team's tactics. George also arranged for Liu Han to play more in this game, after all, the opponent's defense is sparse, and Liu Han's scoring is the most stable and efficient on the Lakers team. (To be continued.) )
