While Liu Han was still immersed in his own training, the Lakers' regular season was still going on, and head coach Harris reduced Liu Han's playing time on the grounds that Liu Han needed to be rotated to prepare for the playoffs, and Van Exel was given a start and began to increase his playing time.

On March 7, local time in the United States, the Houston Rockets challenged the Lakers away, although Charles Barkley was absent due to injury in this game, but Olajuwon played a wonderful performance, the almost 35-year-old Olajuwon played 37 minutes, scored 23 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists, and the Rockets scored double-doubles, beating the Lakers 111-90 by 21 points, Liu Han came off the bench for 11 minutes and scored 14 points and 3 assists.

After this game, the regular season of the season began to come to a close, and the Lakers currently have a record of 44 wins and 16 losses, and the regular season will end with 12 games remaining.

There is a lot of speculation in the media about the Lakers' reduction of Liu Han's playing time, some say that Liu Han is in trouble with an injury, but he is still being treated conservatively, and some media speculate that the Lakers management is dissatisfied with Liu Han, and there are different opinions, but insiders know that the Lakers' purpose is to brush up good data for the Van Exel trade.

Liu Han doesn't pay much attention to what the outside world thinks of him, and he still insists on his extraordinary training every day.

In the rest of the games in March, Liu Han played less than 20 minutes each time, and his position began to gradually shift to the scoring guard, although the number of assists per game dropped rapidly, but the score can basically guarantee a double per game.

Van Exel did not express anger because of the team's arrangement, since the team wants to trade him, he must also think of the team that has always valued him, and if he can have better statistics, then he can also get a bigger contract when he signs, the core of the NBA is actually commercial interests. So under the arrangement of head coach Harris, Van Exel began his own journey of scoring points.

Kobe Bryant has also been very depressed during this time, when he first entered the Lakers, general manager Jerry West was very optimistic about him, hoping that Kobe Bryant could become the future of the Lakers, but now the Lakers obviously attach more importance to Liu Han, his playing time is basically on the bench or garbage time, and the media has also shifted from being optimistic at the beginning to paying more attention to Liu Han's play, which makes Kobe, who has always been arrogant, unbearable, and he feels humiliated. Kobe's agent, Arndlem, was also dissatisfied with Jerry West at first, but now he is thinking about how to find a team for Kobe Bryant that suits him.

The management of the Lakers was a little hesitant about the choice of Liu Han and Kobe Bryant before the All-Star break, but after the All-Star break, they left the hesitation behind, no one wants to give up a new star who has a certain reputation around the world and choose a local young man who does not know what the future will be, although there may be some radical people who will be a little discriminatory against Liu Han's skin color, but the Lakers' management will not go against money for this reason, Liu Han is a player who can bring them huge benefits.

The NBA league also attaches more importance to Liu Han after the All-Star Game, it is obvious that Liu Han is better than Allen Iverson in terms of image and experience, although these two players have a lot of fans in the United States, but Liu Han's god-level performance in the three-point contest has made him have a certain popularity in the world, and Liu Han's previous rise story like a fairy tale is also more in line with the love of the mainstream group, and there are only a few who like alternatives.

The Lakers' regular season continued, and Liu Han's reduced playing time made the team's strength decrease, and Van Exel took the opportunity to put up amazing statistics, but the Lakers' losses began to increase.

After losing to the Rockets on March 7, the Lakers had a day off to host the New Jersey Nets, and the Nets' record began to pick up after Sam Kassel joined, but the current 18-42 record still puts the Nets at the bottom of the East.

The Lakers won the game 115-105, Van Exel played 41 minutes, scored 34 points and 2 assists, and Liu Han played 16 minutes and scored 15 points.

Two days later, the Lakers beat the Warriors 109-101 at home, and Van Exel's game was completely untouched, scoring just eight points on 0-of-7 three-pointers, but he handed out 14 assists. Liu Han played just 10 minutes in this game.

The Lakers lost to the Clippers on March 14, and the Lakers came out on top in the final minute, with Van Exel scoring 14 points on 5-of-19 shooting and 2-of-10 three-pointers, but he also dished out 13 assists in the game. Although Liu Han played 17 minutes, he did not get a chance to play in the final moments.

The Lakers then went on to win back-to-back games against the Raptors and Nuggets, losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers 86-89 on March 20.

On the 21st, the Lakers lost to the Heat again away, and another last-minute stunner made the Lakers' full-court efforts come to naught, Liu Han failed to play again at the last moment, but he scored 20 points in this game, and his 20 points were almost all obtained by the opponent's inside, Liu Han reduced his shots on the outside, and continuously broke through and impacted the opponent's inside, causing a lot of trouble for the Heat's introversion, and the Heat center alone got three fouls on Liu Han, But the Lakers' leak in the final minute was seized by the Heat, and Tim Hardaway hit a shot to complete the kill. After the game, Hardaway invited Liu Han to dinner, Tim is very optimistic about this three-point "disciple", Liu Han's easy-going personality is also quite in line with Tim Hardaway's feelings, although he himself is a very stinky and a little irritable guy, but the more such people, the more they like to deal with people with good personalities, it is difficult for two guys with similar tempers to get together.

Liu Han's training began to show results, his body began to undergo some wonderful changes after absorbing enough nutrients and withstanding the super load, Liu Han felt that his explosive power and bounce began to improve greatly, and his muscle tissue began to become stronger.

Liu Han's changes also attracted the attention of head coach Harris and the Lakers players, because they found that some of Liu Han's movements when playing were becoming more and more like Jordan, and Liu Han began to try to dunk in practice, although the movements were stiff at first, but gradually his teammates found that Liu Han's bounce became better and better.

On March 23, the Lakers lost to the Orlando Magic, who were still working on playoff qualification, and the 84 points were the Lakers' lowest so far this season, and Liu Han only scored 20 points on the team, but he only played 15 minutes. Van Exel shot 4-of-21 from the field and hit 17 irons.

After this game, the media in Los Angeles questioned the way the Lakers hired people, since Liu Han is so good, why not give him more playing time, and Van Exel is obviously a blacksmith, but the team has always arranged for him to start.

The Lakers' management also began to worry after this game, and they were afraid that if Van Exel continued like this, no team would be willing to take over.

However, in the back-to-back games against the New Jersey Nets on the second day, Van Exel's was finally "abnormal", although the shooting percentage of 10 of 19 shots was not too high, but it was already satisfying Lakers fans. The Lakers also beat the Nets by 25 points, 109-84.

After returning to Los Angeles, the Lakers had a day off, but Liu Han would not stop training every day, he still trained quietly in the arena where he was alone, every move, every dunk, every time he fantasized that the defender was in front of his eyes to step back and shoot, Liu Han insisted on making every move perfect. If someone comes to the arena at this time, they will find that Liu Han's every movement is very similar to Jordan, and Liu Han's backward jumper has more elegant charm.

When Liu Han was growing up rapidly in the competition and training, Zhao Xueli had returned to Cleveland's home for almost half a month, her husband Lewis Kyle did not insist on asking where his wife went, and he didn't ask what he was going for, he just hugged his wife affectionately after his wife came back, in fact, when he first came into contact, Lewis found that his wife was quite resistant to some too intimate contact, but in the end, Lewis moved Zhao Xueli with his affection and gentleness, And after marriage, his wife also made Lewis feel the happiness of the family with the gentleness unique to oriental women, and he cherished such happiness.

Zhao Xueli quietly left after learning some things about Liu Han, she didn't want to disturb Liu Han's current life, although she was still angry about her previous experience, but after seeing Liu Han from afar, Zhao Xueli found that she was more guilty in her heart, especially when the media reported that Liu Han only graduated from primary school in Huaguo. Zhao Xueli didn't want to mention the place that plunged her into despair, but in the end, the love in her heart defeated the devil of resentment.

Her husband did not pursue his past and previous departure, which made Zhao Xueli very moved, since it was like this now, she also gave up her plan to meet Liu Han in person, what if she did, it was nothing more than to bring more trouble to this poor child, since he is living a good life now, Zhao Xueli does not want to disrupt the happy life of this poor child.

On March 26, the Lakers defeated the Milwaukee Bucks at home, and Kobe Bryant had a rare chance to start, playing 32 minutes and scoring 19 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds. Van Exel also played well, scoring 27 points and providing four assists. Liu Han came off the bench again and scored 14 points.

The next day, the Lakers defeated the Vancouver Grizzlies, who had the lowest winning percentage, and Bryant started again, scoring 20 points and performing well. Liu Han came off the bench for 14 minutes and scored 16 points.

With this point in the Lakers' March games, the Lakers will enter the final stage of the regular season, and the teams ranked around eighth in the East and West will start to work hard for the final playoff qualification, and the teams at the top of the rankings and the playoff qualification worries will also prepare for the upcoming playoffs.
