Liu Han's nomination for the November Rookie of the Month made Lakers fans rejoice, although he didn't win the honor in the end, but Liu Han's performance in the second half of November was obvious to all, and Van Exel finally made Lakers fans and the media start to get bored.

On December 1, 1996, the Lakers visited the plateau to challenge the Denver Nuggets. CCTV will also broadcast the match live.

Liu Han got the chance to start in this game, Van Exel's brain-pumping shot finally made coach Harris feel a little unreliable, Liu Han showed strength in the first few games enough to put Van Exel on the bench.

Antonio McDyce, who was drafted by the Nuggets with the No. 1 pick last season, has grown rapidly and is now the team's starting power forward. Mark Jackson, who had a rough time with the Indiana Pacers last season, moved to Denver this season, and he became the team's starting point guard when he arrived. The Nuggets' starting center is blue-collar El Vin Johnson, a pure blue-collar who barely shoots.

From a lineup point of view, the Lakers have the advantage. Liu Han had an advantage in the face of Mark Jackson after coming on the court, the former New York point guard who was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, and became famous in New York, was much weaker than Liu Han physically, but he left a deep impression on Liu Han in this game.

Mark Jackson used his skillful dribbling and imaginative passing to lead the entire Nuggets team, and although Liu Han defended very well, making it almost impossible for Mark Jackson to shoot, he could always tear apart the Lakers' defense with his passes.

The game was played in the first five minutes and the two sides were tied 9-9. In the next game, Liu Han suddenly broke out, he first received O'Neal's point in the offense and hit a three-pointer, and then steal Mark Jackson's pass in the defense, and made a fast-break layup to make two plus one.

After Liu Han opened the situation on the outside, the Nuggets did not dare to wrap O'Neal on the inside, and O'Neal continued to play the inside successfully, and the gap in the score gradually widened. After Liu Han gradually adapted to Mark Jackson's rhythm, the power of defense began to show, and the Nuggets without Mark Jackson's passing began to play as if they had lost their soul. The Lakers seized the opportunity to widen the gap even further.

Liu Han also began his own spree after successfully defending Mark Jackson, and he played the whole quarter in the first quarter, shooting 4-of-4 three-pointers to ******** the Nuggets.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers relied on Liu Han's excellent play in both offense and defense to lead the opponent by 24 points, and the Nuggets did not score a point in the last seven minutes of the first quarter, which was extremely embarrassing, and even some fans have begun to boo the home team.

In the second quarter, Liu Han was rested, Van Exel led the bench, Kobe Bryant was abandoned again, and the veteran Byron Scott came into play.

In the second quarter, the Nuggets' bench pulled back the gap in the score a bit, and Van Exel seemed to stick to his style, making all kinds of unreasonable shots, just going in, but the shooting percentage of 3 of 16 in the whole game was really sorry for the audience.

At halftime, the Lakers ended the first half with a 59-46 lead.

In the second half, Liu Han was on the court again, and Mark Jackson was irritated by his sharp three-pointers and kraft candy defense, and Liu Han once again made four of five three-pointers in a single quarter, plus a layup on a counterattack and four free throws, Liu Han scored 18 points in a single quarter, which excited the Chinese audience in front of the television, who felt that their compatriots could have such a good performance and proved the glory of China.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers once again widened the gap to 23 points, and Liu Han did not play again in the fourth quarter, and the Lakers relied on the bench to maintain the advantage, and finally defeated the opponent by 17 points 109-92. Liu Han scored 32 points and 11 assists in the game, and his eye-catching performance made Nuggets fans envious, and the Nuggets' management began to regret their draft choices this year, knowing that Liu Han would be selected with the 23rd pick.

After a day of rest, the Lakers rushed to Seattle to take on the Seattle SuperSonics away from home, and Liu Han failed to start again in this game, and Van Exel's returned to the starting position.

In this game, O'Neal was powerful, scoring 37 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists in the game, and Van Exel's form recovered, scoring 18 points on 6-of-13 shooting and 2-of-4 three-pointers.

Liu Han played 17 minutes, scored 15 points on five three-point shots, Liu Han's position in this game was arranged on the scoring guard, Kobe Bryant went back to Los Angeles directly because of injury, and the team only had the veteran Byron Scott left in the scoring guard position, Liu Han had to take the position, and Byron Scott now basically has no way to hold on to the end of a game. Liu Han returned to the shooting guard position to show his running ability, which he played when he first entered the NCAA, receiving passes from teammates and shooting three-pointers, and today he did a good job, turning O'Neal's several passes to the outside into points.

In the end, the game ended with a victory for the Lakers.

Liu Han was once again in the media spotlight after this game, as the media found that the rookie with the highest three-point shooting percentage in the league right now was a rookie. Liu Han's astonishing three-point shooting rate made the media exclaim a miracle.

After returning to Los Angeles, the Lakers took a day off to welcome the Utah Jazz challenge, and the last time they were killed by Liu Han in Salt Lake City, the Jazz players were quite unconvinced, and they didn't think a rookie could be so good.

Liu Han was given another start in this game, and it seems that Coach Harris intends to make Liu Han and Van Exel take turns to start.

Liu Han was targeted in this game, Stockton was too short to pose a threat to Liu Han, and Jerry Sloan arranged the team's scoring guard to defend Liu Han.

But what Coach Jerry Sloan didn't expect was that Liu Han showed a projection ability that amazed everyone in this game. Liu Han hit four three-pointers in the first quarter, leaving Jeff Hornacek who was defending him without face.

In the second quarter, the Jazz still relied on their pick-and-roll tactics to launch a counterattack against the Lakers, and Karl Malone's accurate mid-range shot also caused a lot of trouble for the Lakers.

After Liu Han left the court, Van Axel once again showed people what it means to be brain-dead, and he tried to shoot three points from Stockton's defense four times in a row, but none of them hit.

Bryant came off the bench again after being dropped by his coach for two games, and he began to change his style of play and add passing.

At halftime, the Lakers led by three points.

Entering the third quarter, Liu Han appeared again, he first broke through the Jazz defense and entered the interior to assist O'Neal to dunk, and then hit two three-pointers in a row, gradually widening the gap between the scores of the two teams.

Jerry Sloan was entangled in the face of Liu Han, the height was enough to prevent Liu Han from being as fast as Liu Han, and the speed that could keep up was not as tall as Liu Han, and Liu Han's passing was also very good, his vision was very broad, and his control of the rhythm of the game was also first-class, why didn't he find out about such an excellent player earlier, Jerry Sloan thought in his heart.

The game entered the fourth quarter, Liu Han still stayed on the court, and Coach Harris did not dare to let Liu Han rest now, because the score gap between the two teams was very small.

Liu Han hit two three-pointers again in the fourth quarter to gradually widen the gap between the two teams, and the Jazz were not to be outdone, and Jeff Hornacek also responded with a three-pointer to bite the score.

It wasn't until the last five minutes of the game that the Lakers gradually extended their advantage, O'Neal blew up the opponent's interior line, and six fouls were made, and now only Karl Malone is left to support alone.

In the last three minutes, Liu Han hit two three-pointers again, turning the advantage into a victory, and finally relied on Liu Han's 10 three-pointers to win the game 107-101, Liu Han scored 34 points in the game, making everyone sigh at his accurate shooting.

After this game, Liu Han began to make a name for himself in the United States, ranking second in the NBA record with 10 three-pointers per game, and one short of tying Dennis Scott's record of 11 three-pointers in a single game. However, Liu Han still set a record in this game, and he broke the NBA record by hitting consecutive three-pointers 10 times in a single game. However, what has attracted more media attention is Liu Han's ultra-high shooting rate so far, and in the history of the NBA, there has never been an outside player with such a high shooting percentage.

The Lakers, who had a day off, went to Orlando on December 6 to challenge the Magic, and O'Neal was booed by the Magic fans as soon as he got on the court, and in their eyes, O'Neal was a traitor who ran away for money, Judas.

Liu Han came off the bench again this time, and the Lakers played with ease in the face of the Orlando Magic without "Penny" Hardaway.

Van Exel finally stopped throwing away today, focusing on assists and picking up 12 assists in this game, Liu Han was substituted after only 14 minutes, and the manager seems to be looking for "stability" again.

O'Neal didn't play particularly hard this game, after all, he was with the Magic for four full years, and he was still grateful to the city.

Bryant was dropped again, and he was left in Los Angeles without coming to Orlando with the team.

Liu Han played 14 minutes and scored 12 points and 3 assists. O'Neal had 25 points and 18 rebounds, Van Exel had 20 points and 12 assists, and the Lakers had six players in double figures.

In the end, the Lakers won the game bloodlessly, and the Magic sent O'Neal and the Lakers away amid the boos of the fans.

Liu Han's performance is getting better and better after entering December, as long as the playing time is stable, he can score high scores, which makes many fans begin to pay attention to the Lakers and Liu Han, Iverson's performance is very good, but in terms of efficiency, Liu Han's performance is better, for a while, who can win this year's best rookie is different, the media in Los Angeles of course hopes that Liu Han can be elected, this player from UCLA is regarded as his own by fans and media in Los Angeles.
