The game between the Lakers and the Bulls has received a lot of attention, and the Lakers who lost the game have not criticized the Lakers except for being ridiculed by the Chicago media, because everyone knows that the current Bulls are better than the Lakers in terms of strength, and the Lakers' performance in this game is commendable, especially the rookie Liu Han, whose accurate three-point shooting still left a deep impression on everyone, Players including the Bulls also said in interviews that Liu Han is the most calm rookie they have ever seen.
Liu Han looked a little lost after the game, he felt that he looked a little weak against Jordan, he should play stronger, he should have scored more goals.
The Lakers returned to Los Angeles on the evening of the game, and they had to prepare for the next day's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Liu Han, who returned home, was comforted by the LaBeouf family, and they saw Liu Han's loss.
"Xiao Liu, don't think you can't do it, you are performing very well, no player dares to guarantee that he will be able to prevent the current Jordan." Li Ruixian expressed comfort to Liu Han.
"Well, I just think I should work harder and score a few more goals and maybe the team will win." While Liu Han was talking, Safina walked up to him and hugged Liu Han.
His daughter's public intimacy with this silly boy made LaBeouf's eyes jump, and he felt jealous in his heart.
"Boy, you know how good Jordan is, right? So you have to increase your aggression, you have to make your defending players scared when they see you, so that they can lower their shooting percentage. Also, can you let go of my daughter while I speak, immediately, or I'll break your teeth. LaBeouf's words made Liu Han quickly let go of Safina.
The affectionate hug of the beloved girl and the care of her family made Liu Han feel better, and he regarded these people present as his relatives in his heart.
The next day, the Lakers face the Milwaukee Bucks at the Great Western Forum Arena. Before the start of the game, Liu Han and his good friend Ray Allen exchanged pleasantries for a long time, and Ray Allen gradually showed his strength in the game, so he has now also won the position of starting point guard.
Liu Han got the start again in today's game, but his position was placed in the position of shooting guard, head coach Harris felt that Liu Han performed better in this position, but in fact, it was because the team was ready to trade the injured Cedric Sebarros, and the position of scoring guard is now only the veteran Byron Scott and rookie Kobe Bryant, the usual performance of these two can not satisfy the head coach, can only let Liu Han come to the cameo for a while.
Liu Han marked his good friend Ray Allen after coming on the field. The two had fought each other many times in college before, and when each time it ended in Liu Han's victory, Lei Allen was full of resentment about it, as if Liu Han was specifically restraining him, whether it was in terms of outside projection ability or physical fitness, Liu Han was more restrained by Lei Allen.
At the beginning of the game, O'Neal, who had been holding back a lot of anger in the last game, began to exert his power, he was taken care of by the Bulls' starting center and Rodman in the last game, and he was extremely depressed, and he planned to vent his luck in this game.
The first quarter of the game was spent in O'Neal's raging interior, and the Bucks' interior was helpless against O'Neal, and the Lakers ended the first quarter with a 32-23 lead, and Liu Han hit two three-pointers in this quarter to score six points.
In the second quarter, the two sides came off the bench, and the Bucks' main Glenn Robinson did not rest, he led the Bucks to play an offensive climax off the bench, once overtaking the score, but after the Lakers' main team returned in the second half of the second quarter, the gap between the two teams was leveled. Liu Han hit two more three-pointers in this quarter, but he still had three free throws, and Ray Allen struggled more and more when defending Liu Han, and Liu Han seized the opportunity to make a foul.
In the third quarter, O'Neal continued to attack the opponent's inside, and he played extremely strong today. The Bucks' Glenn Robinson also showed amazing form, hitting consecutive shots.
Entering the fourth quarter, Liu Han began to exert his power, and he hit three three-pointers in the middle of the fourth quarter to gradually expand the scores of the two teams.
In the end, the Lakers won the game 117-106, O'Neal scored 41 points and 13 rebounds, and Liu Han scored 24 points, shooting seven of eight three-pointers. Lei Allen was only 3 of Liu Hanfang's 13 shots, and he was extremely depressed, and Liu Han did not release water to his old friend.
After this game, the Lakers got a two-day rest, Liu Han accompanied Safina to buy a lot of furniture, and when he bought it, the owner was actually a fan of Liu Han and gave Liu Han a lot of discounts.
After two days of rest, the Lakers came to the Minnesota Timberwolves again, and the cold weather and heavy snow seemed to freeze the Lakers' hands.
The Lakers shot less than 40% of the whole game, Van Exel stole 4 of 14, O'Neal shot 8 of 20, Eddie Jones shot 2 of 14, except for Liu Han still maintained his three-point shot of 7 of 9 and scored 27 points, no other player scored 20. O'Neal was in very poor form today, making 3-of-12 free throws that made Timberwolves fans laugh.
On the Timberwolves side, Kevin Garnett performed well with 23 points and 9 rebounds, and Stephen Marbury scored 17 points and 8 assists.
In the end, the Lakers lost to the Timberwolves 98-103 in this game. Liu Han is incapable of turning the tide.
After this game, Coach Harris's employment was questioned, and the players were not in good shape and needed to be adjusted, but Harris's dull substitution method made the Lakers have been passive on the court, Liu Han is in good shape, and is obviously better than Van Exel in organizing the offense, but now he can only wait for others to pass the ball in the position of scoring guard, although Liu Han, who has no ball in his hand, still gets a high score, but this does not make the Lakers win, after all, this is a team sport.
After this game, the Lakers will have a three-day holiday, the league has no games scheduled for Christmas Eve, and the Lakers' next game is not until Christmas Day.
Liu Han, who got the holiday, accompanied Safina to watch a movie, and prepared Christmas gifts for the LaBeouf family, Li Rui and Nasha, Liu Han invited his more familiar teammates to LaBeouf's house on the evening of the 23rd, LaBeouf raised his hands in favor of this decision, he really wanted to entertain some of these stars in the eyes of ordinary people.
On the evening of the 23rd, O'Neal, Byron Scott, Eddie Jones, and Tyrese Knight all came to LaBeouf's house, and Liu Han also invited Kobe Bryant, but the latter said that he needed to go back to his parents for Christmas, so he didn't come.
Liu Han prepared some traditional oriental food for his teammates, he also made artichoke rub, Li Rui also made some braised pork, the Lakers team members led by O'Neal said that these foods left a deep impact on them, which is completely different from what they had eaten before, O'Neal even said that he was willing to pay for Li Rui to teach him how to make braised pork, this thing is very appetizing to O'Neal, a large plate of braised pork he solved most of it alone.
After enhancing the relationship with his teammates, Liu Han did not forget to give them a small Christmas gift, and the red paper-cut made by Liu Han with oriental colors won the unanimous welcome of his teammates.
On Christmas Eve 24th, Liu Han and LaBeouf's family spent it together, and after consulting with Safina, he decided to move out on December 26, which was a Christmas for LaBeouf.
Although Liu Han didn't know the specific meaning of Christmas, he was still happy to follow Safina to accept this tradition, LaBeouf prepared a lot of food with Russian flavor, Li Rui and Nasha made dumplings, this big meal of East and West combined with the family was very happy, LaBeouf gave Liu Han a very meaningful gift, he gave Liu Han the boxing gloves when he retired, but at the same time as giving the gift, he also gave Liu Han a separate physiology and hygiene lesson, LaBeouf knew from Li Rui that Liu Han had not received this education at all, so he was cheeky and said a lot to Liu Han, you can imagine how hard a guy with a strong "violent gene" made a comeback for his daughter's happy life.
On the 25th, the Lakers went to Phoenix and played the Suns again, and the Lakers, who had rested for many days, were in good shape in this game, and they easily won the game 108-87. Liu Han scored 23 points again at the shooting guard position, shooting 6 of 7 three-pointers, O'Neal also scored a double-double, and the Suns were suppressed by the Lakers as a starter, and no one on the team scored 20 points in the whole game.
On the 26th, Liu Han and Safina officially moved into their sweet nest, and the room was arranged by Safina before Christmas, and the two of them just brought some belongings to live in.
At night, the lights were dim, and the atmosphere that Safina could set up was full of ambiguity, and Liu Han seemed a little overwhelmed by such an atmosphere, but he still remembered what LaBeouf had given him on Christmas Eve.
Safina was startled by Liu Han holding a bouquet of roses as soon as she came out after taking a shower in the bathroom, she didn't expect Liu Han to be prepared.
"Honey, you wouldn't be angry if you didn't give you a gift for Christmas, would you?" Safina did not give Liu Han a gift on Christmas Eve.
"I won't be angry, I will never be angry if I live with you, my grandmother told me to live with a smile."
"Actually, I have prepared a gift for you, so I will give myself to you today...... Hmmm......"
Safina's words were interrupted by Liu Han's hot kiss before she could finish speaking, she didn't expect Liu Han to be so strong and majestic today.
The young man and woman mingled in further communication both mentally and physically, and Liu Han did what LaBeouf had taught him perfectly.
"Boy, remember to be strong, kiss her directly, and then ......"
