Chapter 195: Goal: The best record in the regular season
Liu Han's strong return shocked the league, and the super efficiency of 57 points in the third quarter made all teams fearful, which was not obtained by Liu Han in the game with the weak team, but by the top eight teams in the East, and the Nets' Kobe Bryant's defense was affirmed by the league, and his position in the Nets is the core of both offensive and defensive ends, but now he looks so weak in the face of Liu Han, I have to sigh Liu Han's strength.
After the game, the Los Angeles media reported the game with the headline "The Return of the King", and Liu Han's aerial limit change layup completed in the game was praised by the media as a performance that surpassed Jordan. In the past, Jordan was known for his long-term air stay and ultra-difficult layups, but with the increase in age and weight, Jordan rarely makes these actions now, and the only ones in the league who can support these actions are Liu Han and Kobe, but Kobe's skills are not enough for him to complete such actions, so Liu Han's performance is the next legend in the league in the eyes of fans.
Lakers fans are ecstatic that Liu Han has shown such a strong strength as soon as he returns, they feel that the current Lakers team is invincible, and some fans are also looking forward to the Lakers' performance in the last few games of the regular season, now the Lakers have a record of 63 wins and 10 losses, as long as they win the next nine games, the Lakers will equal the best record of 72 wins created by the Bulls, which means that the Lakers will re-establish their dynasty.
In the 80s, the emergence of Magic Johnson brought a round of climax to the Lakers, when they played the most gorgeous offense in the league, and won glory for the Lakers with passes beyond human imagination, if it were not for the existence of Larry Bird, the Lakers would probably dominate the entire 80s, but it is because of Larry Bird's existence that the Lakers' achievements in the 80s are more golden.
Now, Liu Han once again brings hope to the Lakers to build a dynasty, he successfully overturned the Bulls' throne last season, as long as the Lakers successfully defend the championship this season, then the Lakers can definitely establish their own dynasty, and Liu Han will be officially crowned king.
After playing the game against the Nets, the Lakers didn't have time to rest, and they will take on the Cleveland Cavaliers back-to-back on the second day.
The Cavaliers have also been doing well this year, with a 42-31 record and a solid qualification for this year's playoffs, but they are also thinking of raising their winning percentage online in order to gain home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
The Cavaliers also have an "acquaintance" of Liu Han - Derrick Anderson, and it was this guy's bad foul in the NCAA Finals that caused Liu Han to fracture his right arm. Derrick Anderson, who only entered the NBA draft this season, was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers with the 13th pick in the first round, and while his character is questionable, his game is not bad, and he was heavily used by the Cavaliers as soon as he arrived.
However, in the face of the Lakers, who intend to hit the best record in the regular season, the strength of the Cavaliers is still a little worse, and the tonnage and height of Ilgoskas on the inside are enough, but in terms of speed, he is not at all the opponent of O'Neal, who has successfully lost weight. In other positions on the outside, the Lakers are much better than the Cavaliers, not to mention that the Lakers bench also has young talents like Michael Finley, Brent Barry, Kerry Kittels, etc., it can be said that the Lakers' bench depth is the top in the league.
Liu Han still played very strong in this game, although Derrick Anderson did not start, but Liu Han still did not plan to let go of the Cavaliers, in fact, seriously, Liu Han may not have remembered who Anderson is at all, what he wants now is to play every game seriously and strive to lead the Lakers to 72 wins in the regular season.
At the beginning of the game, Liu Han continued to fire on the outside, and Bob Sula, who was the seventeenth pick in 95, was not Liu Han's opponent at all, Sula's physical condition was good, but in terms of light speed, Liu Han could throw off the opponent several streets.
After Liu Han successfully opened on the outside, O'Neal also got an opportunity on the inside, he pulled Ilgoskas away at the beginning and let the opponent leave the basket, and then Liu Han hit three points from the outside one after another, and the pressure on the inside began to decrease, O'Neal used his speed to shake off Ilgoskas defense and score inside.
At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led the Cavaliers by 12 points.
In the second quarter, Liu Han returned to the court after a five-minute break, and the Lakers' bench extended the gap to 16 points, and Liu Han returned with two three-pointers to extend the gap to more than 20 points.
Inside O'Neal caused Ilgoskas fouls one after another, so that the opponent had to go off, and for a while, the Lakers beat the Cavaliers to the ground.
At halftime, the Lakers led the Cavaliers by 22 points, 62-40.
At halftime, George Krent called Liu Han aside, and he arranged Liu Han's tactics for the second half. Because during Liu Han's suspension, the Lakers have been playing inside-based tactics, but now that Liu Han is back, and the playoffs are about to start, George hopes that Liu Han can play more in the point guard position, so that the other players of the Lakers can be more familiar with this tactic of controlling the pace of the game by Liu Han, once entering the playoffs, Nash is strongly suppressed in the point guard position, and the Lakers can also let Liu Han continue to control the ball.
At the start of the second half, the Cavaliers tried to fight back, but the Lakers, who had changed their tactics, played a dazzling offensive routine under Liu Han's control. Although Liu Han has been away for two months, he has not forgotten the feeling of playing, on the contrary, after football training, Liu Han has a new understanding of passing, so as soon as he controls the ball, his feeling comes. The other players of the Lakers team are also very cooperative with Liu Han, they are active in running, as long as there is space, Liu Han's pass will be in place as soon as possible.
In the third quarter of the game, Liu Han scored 8 assists in a single quarter, leading the Lakers to expand the gap to 35 points.
Seeing that there was no hope of a comeback, the Cavaliers tried to counterattack at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but in Liu Han's control line, the Lakers quickly seized the opportunity of the Cavaliers' failure to attack and played several fast breaks, and the gap in the score was close to forty points.
In the end, the Lakers defeated the Cavaliers by 35 points 117-82 in back-to-back games on the road, Liu Han played 38 minutes and scored a triple-double of 26 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists, and O'Neal got a big double-double of 25 points and 20 rebounds.
The Lakers defeated the top eight teams in the East in two consecutive games after Liu Han returned, which made the Bulls and Jazz who aspired to win the championship very important, Liu Han not only scored high points in the first game, but also got a triple-double again in the second game, which shows that Liu Han, who has been suspended, can't help but have no ability to decline, but is better, which makes the Jazz and the Bulls very worried.
Regardless of other factors in the outside world, the Lakers have completely twisted their hearts after Liu Han's return, and they are now very confident, not only to get the best record in the regular season, but also to look forward to the playoffs. (To be continued.) )
