On May 17, 1997, Liu Han, accompanied by the LaBeouf family and Mr. and Mrs. Lewiskele, underwent a hematopoietic stem cell transplant in Los Angeles. ShipsonKyle was transferred to Los Angeles directly after Liu Han's completion test, after all, the medical conditions and rehabilitation in Los Angeles are much better than those in the dilapidated Cleveland. Liu Han's hematopoietic stem cells were transplanted into Shipsonkel's body as soon as they were processed, and the poor child finally had a chance to continue living.

Many media in the United States are paying attention to Liu Han's surgery, although Liu Han's surgery does not require surgery, only the "red bone marrow" is extracted in the iliac bone after anesthesia, but it is conceivable that no matter what kind of surgery, there is a certain risk, Liu Han has a very bright future, but his self-sacrificing behavior is still very worthy of praise.

There are also some Lakers fans who put up a slogan outside the hospital where Liu Han underwent surgery, which is full of blessings and care for Liu Han, now Liu Han has conquered the entire city of Los Angeles with his football skills, and no one will question Liu Han's ability anymore, he is now a hero in the hearts of Los Angeles people.

After reporting Liu Han's deeds in China, his popularity has increased again, almost all fans are very concerned about Liu Han, and now not only fans have begun to pay attention to Liu Han, after the reports of major domestic media, more ordinary people also know that there is such a Chinese young man with outstanding football skills and self-sacrifice on the other side of the ocean. Even CCTV, which has always been a representative of state media, is preparing to send a special task force to interview Liu Han's life in Los Angeles.

Jordan, who has advanced to the Western Conference finals, is now resting, their opponent has not yet been produced, the New York Knicks and the Miami Heat are now playing inextricably, the score of the two teams has come to 2-3, New York still has a lead, they have a chance to eliminate the Miami Heat at home today, but in the end, the tenacious Miami Heat defeated the New York Knicks away, dragging the game into the tiebreaker. Jordan and the Bulls had to wait another two days.

Jordan was interviewed by the media during the break, he praised Liu Han's ball skills, saying that this is a young man who can replace him, and he praised Liu Han's behavior of donating bone marrow, saying that Liu Han is a young man worthy of everyone to learn, but he also said that if he enters the finals and meets the Lakers, he will definitely not stay, and the current Bulls have no opponents. No matter what Jordan thinks in his heart, he will not say bad things about Liu Han at this moment, from 84 years into the NBA to the present, Jordan has experienced a lot of things, he knows very well that Liu Han is protected by the mainstream group, no matter how serious racial discrimination is in American society, but now, no one dares to criticize Liu Han against the wind.

Liu Han and Hipson's surgery was a success, Liu Han will be observed in the sterile ward for 24 hours and then transferred to the general ward, while Hipson will have to stay in the sterile ward for two weeks, and then stay in the hospital for 6-8 weeks to determine whether the match is successful.

The Lakers defeated the Jazz in their final home game in which Liu Han played, and they will next travel to Salt Lake City for two games on the Jazz's home court.

On May 18, the day after Liu's surgery, Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and Jazz was played at the Energy Solutions Arena in Salt Lake City, which was packed to capacity for 19,911 people.

Without the presence of Liu Han, the Lakers had to adjust the position of scoring guard, Robert Horry started as the team's small forward, Eddie Jones played as a point guard, and the other positions did not change, Coach Harris did not let Kobe Bryant as the starting point guard, he felt that this young man was still too young, and he needed more experienced veteran players in such a game.

The team's arrangement made the arrogant Kobe Bryant unbearable, he felt that it would be a waste of time to continue to stay with the Lakers, he now needs to play consistently to ensure statistics and gain experience, and now it seems that even if Liu Han is gone, the team's first choice is not Kobe.

The Lakers, who lacked Liu Han's offensive strength, played very hard in this game, and the lack of stable firepower on the offensive front allowed the Jazz to wrap up the Lakers' interior as much as they wanted, although O'Neal played strong enough, but he was not yet as dominant as he would be in the future, and the Lakers were in a stalemate on offense.

Defensively, the Lakers have never been known for their defense, and in the face of the Jazz's simple and sharp blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation, the Lakers do not have a very good way to defend it. If O'Neill goes to defend against Marlon, Elden Campbell can't defend against Ostertag, because Ostertag is much better than Elden Campbell in terms of height and weight. And Elden Campbell is even more bad if he goes to defend against Malone, Campbell will be directly swung out by Malone's iron elbow, and Malone's very good mid-range shot, which makes the Lakers even more difficult to defend.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers lost by 8 points, and the Jazz led 26-18 into the second quarter.

In the first half of the second quarter, the Lakers came off the bench, and the Jazz's usual fierce defense made the Lakers' young players very uncomfortable, and there was chaos on the court, and finally both sides received a technical foul. In the second half of the second quarter, the Lakers' main force returned, Van Exel suddenly broke out, he hit consecutive shots outside the three-point line, and once chased the score to only two points, but the Jazz performed better today, their shooter Hornacek had no defensive task today, and could focus on offense, after Van Exel's consecutive three-point shots, Hornacek also hit three consecutive three-point shots, and the score gap was opened again.

At halftime, the Lakers trailed by nine points at 49-58, and without Liu Han, the Lakers fell into passivity on both the offensive and defensive ends.

In the third quarter, the Jazz team played an offensive climax again, Malone made O'Neal's foul on the offensive end and played two plus one, Stockton also shot a three-point shot from the outside, and the Jazz expanded the gap in the score by 14 points in one fell swoop, and the most frustrating thing for the Lakers was that O'Neal was sentenced to hit someone with the ball in the offense, and he had to go off the court to rest after four fouls, and the Lakers fell into more trouble.

By the end of the third quarter, the Lakers had trailed by 22 points.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers tried to recover the score, but the Jazz did a good job on the defensive end, allowing the Lakers to go several rounds without scoring, and finally when there were five minutes left in the game, Coach Harris replaced the main player and abandoned the game.

In this way, the Jazz tied the score at 2-1, and they were still one game behind the Lakers.

After a day off, the fourth game between the Lakers and the Jazz began on May 20, and in the previous day's game, the Bulls finally waited for their opponents, and the Heat defeated the New York Knicks on the road to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Game 4 between the Lakers and the Jazz was similar to Game 3 between them, with the Jazz dominating from the start, and the Lakers couldn't limit the Jazz's play well on both ends of the floor.

O'Neal played very hard in this game, he hoped to return to Los Angeles with a 3-1 advantage, at the beginning of the game, O'Neal attacked the Jazz from the inside, although it was several, but the Jazz saw that the situation was not right and immediately used foul tactics to interrupt O'Neal's offense.

O'Neal's terrible free throws made him regret it again, he knew how good it would be to practice free throws in the first place, but now that the strength has come up, his wrists have never been soft enough.

The Jazz built a 15-point advantage at the end of the first half.

Robert Horry played well in the second half, and he scored 13 points in the third quarter with a burst shot, but Van Exel's hand was still sparse today, and there was really no way to make the opponent pay too much attention to him with a three-point shot of 0 in 6.

In the end, the Lakers lost most of the distance to the Jazz again, and the Jazz tied the score between the two teams at 2-2. O'Neal finished the game with just 24 points and 11 rebounds, and he made just 5 of 14 free throws, less than 30 percent.

At this time, Liu Han had already watched the game on TV in the ordinary ward, and the team fell into passivity, which made Liu Han anxious, and he wished that he could be discharged from the hospital and play the next day, but the doctor always let him rest for at least seven days.

After returning to Los Angeles, the Lakers have made some rest, they will have the most critical game on May 22, if they can win this game at home, then go to Salt Lake City, the Lakers still have a hard time, but if they lose this game at home, it is difficult to say, Liu Han does not know if he can catch up with the last two games, the Lakers are now at a disadvantage on both offensive and defensive ends.

In the game on the 22nd, the Lakers still did not win, Van Exel was not accurate from the beginning, but his temper came up again, and the consecutive missed shots allowed the Jazz to successfully counterattack continuously, and the Lakers lost to the Jazz by 12 points in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, O'Neal played, but the Jazz once again used foul tactics to send O'Neal to the free throw line, although the referee took good care of the Lakers in this game, but the Jazz used a rotation foul to send O'Neal to the free throw line, as long as the Lakers' offense picked up slightly, the Jazz used this tactic to interrupt the rhythm of the Lakers.

At halftime, the Lakers trailed by 21 points.

In the third quarter, Kobe Bryant came off the bench, and he played very hard, because he knew that even if he was leaving the Lakers, he had to show his strength in the game, otherwise no team would welcome him. Kobe's talent is undeniable, and he succeeded in single-handedly beating Hornacek in the offense, leaving the opponent with no face, and Hornacek was bullied by the Lakers' two rookies one after another.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers chased the gap to nine points.

Entering the fourth quarter, Malone once again showed his power, he first forced Elden Campbell on the offensive end and successfully made free throws, and then successfully blocked O'Neal's dunk on the defensive end, the Lakers fell into passivity again for a while, and the score gap was also stretched to 15 points.

In the end, the Lakers failed to perform a miracle in the game, they were beaten by the Jazz three times in a row, the big score was 2-3, the Lakers were in a desperate situation, if they could not win the next game, they would be eliminated, facing the predicament, the Lakers needed a hero to appear.
