Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Conquest of Los Angeles

The second game of the Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and the Jazz is about to begin, Liu Han will have a bone marrow transplant after this game, and his willingness to donate bone marrow for people he doesn't know regardless of his personal safety has been praised by everyone, and with the promotion of the media and the NBA league, the game between the Lakers and the Jazz has received great attention.

Before the game began, O'Neill found Liu Han and said to Liu Han: "Hey, Liu, seriously, you are braver than me. But I still hope you can come back soon, we will be waiting for you in the finals. ”

"Thank you, Shaq, I'm a little uncomfortable to hear you say that, I'm just going to have a little surgery, maybe I'll be able to make it to the last few games of the Western Conference Finals, but you have to come on, don't let me even have a chance to participate in the Western Conference Finals." Liu Han seemed relaxed, and he was not worried about the upcoming surgery.

"Haha, boxer, don't underestimate me too much, maybe when you come back, you'll wait to win the championship directly." O'Neill was also infected by Liu Han's ease.

"Liu, I did have a lot of opinions about you before, but your behavior proves that you are a trustworthy guy, protect your body, we will wait for you to come back." To Liu Han's surprise, Van Exel took the initiative to say these words to Liu Han.

In fact, Fa Exel is the kind of person with arrogance in his bones, he grew up in the slums of Kenosha, Wisconsin, although he has a short temper but can not be said to be a bad person, Van Exel is very concerned about charity, a large part of his salary is used for charity, Liu Han did not do well with him when he first entered the Lakers, but now Liu Han's behavior of donating bone marrow makes Van Exel feel that Liu Han is a trustworthy teammate.

Many players on the Lakers have encouraged Liu Han, but Kobe Bryant has never ignored Liu Han, and he is now very dissatisfied with Liu Han's behavior of stealing the limelight.

The Lakers' starting lineup today is unchanged, and Liu Han is still at the shooting guard position. The Jazz, who lost the game last time, changed their lineup, and instead of starting Hornacek, they arranged for Shanton Anderson to start, Anderson is a player known for his defense, 1.98 meters tall and weighs 208 pounds, and the Jazz hope Anderson can limit Liu Han's play today.

At the start of the game, O'Neill still won the jump ball, and Ostertag was still a little slower.

Van Axel retreated to receive the ball from O'Neal, and after he dribbled it, he passed it directly to Liu Han, who had already reached the front. Liu Han received the ball and made a feint to try to shoot, but Shanton Anderson did not eat this feint, he still leaned close to Liu Han, Liu Han saw that the opponent did not eat his feint and was close, so he did not make a rash shot, he passed the ball to O'Neal, who had reached the top of the arc, and then ran towards O'Neal himself. O'Neal received the ball and turned his body sideways, and then passed the ball to Liu Han who came around from behind his buttocks, and Anderson, who was defending Liu Han, was directly blocked by O'Neal's ******.

After Liu Han received the ball, he shook and then stepped back directly to shoot three points, and Ostertag, who came over to make up for the defense, was deceived by Liu Han's shaking and retreat.

There were no accidents, and Liu Han's hand was still hot.

Everyone in the Lakers' starting line today is making a ball for Liu Han, and they hope that Liu Han can enjoy the victory before going to surgery.

The Jazz have no intention of giving up on the game today, and while almost everyone is rooting for the Lakers right now, they are still hoping to walk away with a win in Los Angeles. Stockton and Malone's blocking and dismantling cooperation is still skillful, and Malone received a pass after blocking and hitting a direct shot to score two points.

The Lakers continued to attack, Van Exel dribbled the ball through the half court and hoisted the ball to Liu Han at 45 degrees on the left side, and Shanton Anderson resisted Liu Han to death.

After receiving the ball, Liu Han turned to face the frame with one hand in his left hand and made a feint to dribble to the left, but today Anderson was very focused, he still did not move, but one hand faintly covered Liu Han's ball carrier.

Liu Han saw that the opponent was unmoved and suddenly jumped up to shoot, his shooter deliberately hung on Anderson's hand in the process of going up, although the shot that was barely shot in the end missed, but Liu Han still got a free throw opportunity, and the referee would definitely not turn a blind eye to such a ball today.

Liu Han's free throws have been very consistent, and he can almost reach a 100 percent shooting rate.

As the game continued, the Jazz offense was still sharp, and their tactics on offense were simple but very effective, and the combination of Stockton and Malone was the most efficient offense in the league now.

On the Lakers' side, almost all of today's offense was launched from Liu Han, and Van Exel, O'Neal and others were constantly making balls for Liu Han, and they hoped to encourage Liu Han in this way.

Harris did not organize the movement of the players on the field, he knew that Liu Han was a calm player and would not mess around.

Liu Han played very resolutely today, he would play alone when he had the chance, and he could cause the opponent's foul as much as possible if he didn't have the opportunity.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led by 7 points at 34-27, and Liu Han scored 23 points alone.

During the break before the start of the second quarter, Coach Jerry Sloan instructed the players to wrap Liu Han as much as possible in the next game, and he saw the Lakers' plan for today, but he was not prepared to give Liu Han face, in Coach Sloan's view, the game is the game, not mixed with anything else.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Liu Han did not play, but Van Exel played with the bench players, and Liu Han will appear as a point guard in the second half of the second quarter, which is a style often arranged by the Lakers head coach after entering the second round of the playoffs.

The Jazz's bench played hard today, limiting the Lakers' bench play with a tough defense, and Van Exel began to wave again, and the Lakers' lead was leveled and overtaken within five minutes.

Liu Han had to come out early to replace Van Exel, who was starting to get a little hot in his head. After controlling the ball, Liu Han reduced his shots, and the Jazz wrapped up Liu Han after Liu Han came on the court, and the other players of the Lakers team got a lot of opportunities.

At halftime, the Lakers trailed by two points at 54-56, and Liu Han scored only five points in the second quarter, but he brushed up five assists.

The second half continued, Liu Han returned to point guard, and the Lakers continued to use Liu Han as the core of the tactics.

The Lakers attacked, Liu Han went out of the three-point line through O'Neal's cover, received a pass from Van Exel in the bottom corner, and Shanton Anderson went around O'Neal's cover and desperately pounced on Liu Han, he knew how accurate the opponent's three-point score was.

Liu Han didn't shoot directly after receiving the ball, but just made a feint to try to shoot, Shanton Anderson flew directly high as expected, Liu Han easily burst in as soon as he was short, Liu Han who entered the three-point line was empty in front of him, the other players of the Lakers had already pulled all the Jazz people away, Liu Han jumped high after two steps, made a big loop with his right hand wheel arm, his head was close to the basket, and the Jazz's Ostertag tried to stop Liu Han's arrogant dunk, But it's a pity that Liu Han, who has already gained momentum, is unstoppable, and Ostertag becomes the background board, and he is knocked open and buckled by Liu Han in the air.

The wonderful dunk made the Lakers fans in the audience begin to cheer, and gradually, the MVP shouts gradually sounded in the audience, and Liu Han had almost conquered the court.

Liu Han's dunk made the Lakers' momentum even more vigorous, and the Lakers played an offensive climax amid the cheers of more than 18,000 fans in the audience.

The Jazz aren't weak, but it's clear that the momentum can't catch up with the Lakers, the veteran players are better, and the newcomers like Ostertag are starting to get a little timid now.

Liu Han, who played with momentum, also began to stop worrying about who to pass or assist, he began to shoot frantically, hitting three points in a row outside the three-point line, which made the Jazz's already somewhat low momentum even more sluggish.

Jazz coach Jerry Sloan called two timeouts in a row to try to adjust the player's state, but obviously, Liu Han and the Lakers, who were already berserk, were not something that the current Jazz could stop.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers had basically established today's victory, they scored 46 points in a single quarter, and Liu Han alone scored 30 points, shooting 6 of 8 three-pointers. The Jazz scored 25 points in the quarter, which is not low, but now the score is 19 points behind the Lakers. By the end of the third quarter, Liu had scored 59 points, and he had a good chance of setting a new playoff single-game scoring record.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Jazz did not surrender outright, they also tried to salvage the score and save the game.

Liu Han continued to play at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and Coach Harris intends to let Liu Han fully play his abilities today.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Jazz tightly packed Liu Han, and he could barely get the ball.

However, the rest of the Lakers players took the opportunity to put in a good performance, with O'Neal scoring back-to-back inside singles and Van Exel and Eddie Jones also hitting outside shots.

Liu Han ran all over the court with defenders, and finally relied on the cover of his teammates to get the ball, he did not hesitate to shoot three points directly after receiving the ball, Liu Han, who was blessed by everyone today, was unstoppable, and the three-point shot plunged into the net in a beautiful arc, and Liu Han got his 62nd point. He is one point away from tying Jordan's record of 63 points in a single playoff game.

At this time, the gap between the scores of the two teams has reached 25 points, and there are 8 minutes left in the game, and the Jazz are gone.

O'Neal was fouled on an offensive hit and Ostertag was fouled for six fouls, and O'Neal walked to the free throw line.

Liu Han was waiting for an opportunity on the outside at this time, and he had consumed too much physical strength today.

O'Neal hit the first free throw, and although the free throw action was still stiff, he still made it. On the second free throw, O'Neal was still very stiff and threw the ball.

When O'Neal threw the second free throw, Liu Han suddenly started on the outside, and Shanton Anderson, who was defending him, had not yet reacted.

O'Neal's free throw bounced high on the back edge of the basket, and Liu Han flew up in the three-second zone and dunked the ball into the basket under everyone's gaze, breaking Jordan's record.

When Liu Han dunked the ball in, the audience once again resounded the MVP shouts, Liu Han used his excellent skills and noble character to conquer the entire court, conquering this gorgeous and colorful city - Los Angeles.

Eventually, the Jazz gave up the game, and they were clearly no match for today's Lakers, who are a God-blessed team.
