"You don't know what he's going to do in the next second, at first I thought he was a super accurate three-point shooter, and then after a while, I found out that he can play like Jordan, and then he made me think that this is a top perimeter defense expert, but yesterday I found out that he is actually a top interior player who is 1.96 meters tall. If one day someone tells me that Liu is an alien, I will definitely not be surprised. This was a report written by Los Angeles Times reporter Woodson Starr the day after Liu Han finished his game against the Jazz.

Liu Han shocked everyone with his amazing interior strength in the game against the Jazz, this young man who has only entered the league for the second year is now the star of the Lakers, and when the Lakers were in trouble, Liu Han stepped up again, he not only saved the team, but also proved to the world that height is not an obstacle to playing basketball.

Five of the top ten balls selected after the game on November 18 are related to Liu Han, and he blocked Malone and completed the empty catch with Nash to become the top ten balls, and many viewers believe that this ball will even be selected as one of the top ten goals of the year, Liu Han in this block and dunk, the perfect demonstration of the beauty of basketball power and speed.

Although Liu Han proved the success of the Lakers' tactics with his performance, the Lakers' bad luck also became the focus of discussion among spectators and media, and Elden Campbell was examined and found that his injury was a groin strain, and he had to rest for at least two and a half months, which unexpectedly meant that he would miss at least half of the regular season. The audience is talking about whether the Lakers really offended the witches, which is why they encountered so much trouble at the beginning of the game, and most of these troubles are related to the lower body, although the Lakers have received a lot of attention, but this attention has made them a little surprised. The management of the Lakers also felt that it was time to find a psychic medium to take a look, but Jerry West scolded him.

The Lakers are now missing four big men on the team, O'Neal's suspension has two games to end, Robert Horry has to rest for three games, Michael Finley also has to rest for about half a month, and the longest and most unlucky Elden Campbell, who has at least three months to recuperate from his injury and recovery. George Krent is also very helpless now, although Liu Han can play well on the inside, but he can't let Liu Han play the whole game in every game, after all, he is not iron.

The Lakers didn't have time to rest, and as soon as the game on the 18th was over, they had to return to Los Angeles to prepare for the home game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves have started the season well, winning six of their first nine games, and the Timberwolves are also a team dominated by young players, with Kevin Garnett as the fifth pick in the first round of the '95 Draft, Steve Marbury as the fourth pick in '96 and Tom Gugliotta as the sixth pick in the '92 draft.

Stephen Marbury was originally reluctant to go to Minnesota, and the New York-born player was bent on going to the big city, but after a season of grinding, Marbury is now the team's outside core.

George Krent knows the Timberwolves are tough to play against, as the players on their team are also very fast and have an overwhelming advantage over the Lakers on the inside.

Sure enough, the Lakers fell into passivity at the beginning of the game, and the Lakers boys were a little tired for many consecutive games, after all, they need to run non-stop every game.

The Timberwolves have all but center Cherokee Parkes, with the exception of Kevin Garnett, a high school player who has truly shown his talent after two seasons of training, with his movement speed and physicality allowing him to move from the No. 1 to the No. 5 position. Kevin Garnett caused a lot of trouble for the Lakers' offense.

Seven minutes into the first quarter, the Timberwolves led the Lakers by five points, 19-14.

George Krent called a long timeout when he saw that the situation was not right. He needs to make changes to the Lakers' current roster.

George replaced Nash and let Liu Han regain possession, Ray Allen continued to score guard, Kittels played small forward, Eddie Jones made a cameo appearance as power forward, and Brent Barry was pushed to center. Nash was at the back of the game against Stephen Marbury, whose strong body made it difficult for Nash to defend. With such a lineup, it can be said that the Lakers have completely given up on the inside, and can only hope that Liu Han and his teammates can open up the situation on the outside.

The Timberwolves attach great importance to Liu Han's defense, and they don't dare to let Marbury, who is less than 1.9 meters, defend Liu Han, but let Kriskell defend Liu Han closely.

After possession of the ball, Liu Han began to show his mature demeanor, first shaking off Christell in the offense and shooting a three-pointer, and then Marbury scored two points on a fast break in the middle of the defense, so that Liu Han tied the score in less than a minute.

In the next game, the Timberwolves have been using the inside advantage to deal with the Lakers, and the Lakers have also bitten the score tightly under the leadership of Liu Han.

The first quarter ended with the two teams tied at 28.

Entering the second quarter, Liu Han went to rest, Nash played again, and the Lakers also made a certain rotation, but they really have a few players who can play now, so Ray Allen and Eddie Jones have been on the court.

The Lakers took advantage of the Timberwolves' lack of bench ability to stretch the gap to seven points. Timberwolves coach Saunders immediately replaced the main player.

Liu Han only rested for less than 8 minutes before coming back on the court, he replaced Ray Allen, who had not rested, and Liu Han, who returned to the shooting guard position, made the Timberwolves start to be a little overwhelmed, because he has changed three positions in this game, which makes the Timberwolves' defense start to be a little chaotic.

In the scoring guard position, Liu Han continued to beat Christell successfully, he didn't use other tricks, and he just made a step-back jumper, which made Christell almost desperate.

At the end of the half, Liu Han scored 21 points, and after adding the 14 points scored in the first quarter, Liu Han scored 35 points in the half. The Lakers also led the Timberwolves by nine points, 60-51.

Entering the second half, Liu Han changed positions again, he returned to point guard, and Nash went to rest.

With the ball in hand, Liu Han began to show his strong three-point ability on the outside, and in the face of Christell, who had lost some confidence, Liu Han hit multiple three-pointers.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers extended their lead to 15 points.

Entering the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves began to fight back, Garnett and Gugliotta took turns to attack the Lakers' interior, and then Liu Han stepped up again, and he once again incarnated as a super center and blocked Gugliotta's offense in a row. Although Garnett's straight-arm shooting defense made it difficult for Liu Han to block, he still made Garnett's shooting percentage drop a lot.

The Lakers, who withstood the pressure of the Timberwolves' counterattack, still led the opponent by 17 points in the last four minutes of the fourth quarter, and finally the Timberwolves, who had no hope of turning the game, voluntarily gave up the game.

Liu Han scored 49 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, and 3 blocks in this game.

After the game, Timberwolves coach Saunders said in an interview with reporters that they lost to an all-around warrior, and no one knows where Liu's next position is. (To be continued.) )
