Liu Han completed his first shutout in the NBA, and maybe he will have more opportunities like this in the future, but he will never forget today's shut-out because from this shut-up, he began to enjoy the feeling of being in control of the whole court.

Liu Han was praised by his teammates and coaches after completing the stunner, and of course Liu Han also thanked Kobe Bryant who passed the ball to him, which was originally Kobe's, but he finally passed it to Liu Han.

Kobe Bryant is actually quite entangled in his heart, he is a proud person, he believes that his talent and ability are not inferior to anyone, but today he was very surprised not to complete the last attack, but gave the opportunity to Liu Han. When Kobe Bryant saw Liu Han surrounded by his teammates, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous of this guy from the bottom of his heart, and he felt that he would never miss such an opportunity in the future, even if he couldn't shoot and was spurned by everyone.

Liu Han received a lot of media praise after the defeat of the Jazz, although he only scored 12 points in the game, but he made the most important shot, ESPN commentator Kunta Obof commented after the game that Liu Han is a rookie with great pitcher potential, he pointed out in the article that Liu Han has all the potential of a great pitcher, the right height, stable state, perfect shooting posture, and now he has proved that he has the most important weapon of a pitcher - a big heart.

Liu Han's performance in the NBA finally attracted the attention of the other side of the ocean, and the sports newspaper with the largest circulation in China at that time used half a page to introduce Liu Han to domestic fans.

Zhou Yibin, who initially found that Liu Han was talented in playing, was also interviewed by reporters, and he did not point out in the interview that Liu Han had only received more than two years of professional training, and Zhou Yibin felt that no one would believe him when he said this, so he just said that he found that Liu Han's shooting was very accurate in the playground at that time, so he recommended Liu Han to Coach Li Rui.

In fact, China has been paying attention to the NBA since 87, but it was not until 92 that the NBA games began to be broadcast, and at that time it was only broadcast, and the content of the broadcast was only some game highlights and tidbits, and there would be no live broadcast. But since '95, China Central Television (CCTV) has broadcast an NBA game live every weekend, and domestic fans can also start to get in touch with a league they have only heard of and never seen. Because there are only one or two live broadcast opportunities per week, the team with the most live broadcasts at that time must be the team with the most fans, so Liu Han's Lakers team did not get the opportunity to broadcast live, while Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls team had the most opportunities to get live broadcasts. But in the top ten balls played this weekend, Liu Han's figure was finally remembered by the majority of domestic fans, who were deeply curious about this young man who suddenly appeared, and never knew when such a young man with accurate shooting suddenly appeared in his country. Most fans know the gap between their national team and American players, because in the Atlanta Olympics at the end of this year, the national team lost to the United States team by 63 points, this huge gap makes fans know that the players of their own country are not on the same level as the players of other countries, and now the appearance of Liu Han has made fans start to be excited, and they feel that our Chinese players are not weaker than others.

Liu Han didn't know that he had already begun to make a name for himself in China, and the intensive competition made him have no time to care, so he could only improve himself in training as much as possible every day and show himself in the competition.

Liu Han's stunner finally made head coach Del Harris realize the importance of Liu Han, Liu Han's height is now close to 1.96 meters, and if he wears shoes, he is almost two meters, and Liu Han's flexibility is not weaker than that of ordinary point guards, and his strength is even better, so Liu Han can now basically abuse all the backup point guards of other teams in the league. Although Del Harris still hopes to maintain "stability" in the team as always, Liu Han's playing time began to gradually increase, after all, Del Harris still has to pay attention to the attention of the league president and the support of fans, and Van Exel's profligate investment has made fans start to feel a little bored.

After the game against the Jazz on November 20, the Lakers took a day off and traveled to San Antonio to take on the Spurs again.

The Spurs' number one star "Admiral" David Robinson is still resting due to injury, and the team relies on Avery Johnson and Dominic Wilkins to support the beams, and the team's backup center Wilpeldo is at an extreme disadvantage in the face of O'Neal.

Liu Han got 22 minutes of playing time in this game, and Bryant had to enter the injury list because he sprained his finger in training. Liu Han scored 20 points and seven assists in 22 minutes of playing time, and he increased his shot against Avery Johnson, who is only 1.78 meters tall, and made 5 of 5 three-pointers, forcing the Spurs to make substitutions to defend Liu Han. O'Neal ravaged the Spurs' interior, scoring a big double-double of 29 points and 21 rebounds, and Van Exel had another brain pump, playing 26 minutes on the court, hitting only 3 of 13 shots and scoring 12 points from a breakaway free throw.

In the end, the Lakers relied on the excellent performance of O'Neal and Liu Han to win the game 96-86, and the team has won four consecutive games since losing to the Spurs on November 13.

On a day off, the Lakers came to Houston to challenge the Rockets again, and Liu Han once again got 20 minutes of playing time, and he scored 17 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds in 20 minutes, and his performance was eye-catching.

The Rockets were missing their number one star Olajuwon in this game, who had to rest after spraining his ankle in the last game, which the Lakers could easily win in this game, but O'Neal's poor free throw made the game embarrassing.

Van Exel continued his brain-pumping performance, scoring 15 points on 6-of-18 shooting from the field and only on free throws as the Rockets eventually won 90-85 over the Lakers without Olajuwon. The Lakers' four-game winning streak was halted.

Liu Han began to change in these two games, he no longer pursued the rhythm of the team, but shot as much as he could when he had the opportunity, and his shooting rate in both games was as high as 70%, which made fans and media reporters who paid attention to this sigh.

Back in Los Angeles, the Lakers welcomed the Philadelphia 76ers at home, and Allen Iverson, the top pick in this year's draft, was very eye-catching after the start of the season, he scored 30 points in his debut, shocking the entire league, and his performance made the media and fans feel that this year's rookie of the year was out of suspense.

Liu Han came off the bench for 24 minutes in this game, facing Allen Iverson, who was short of his height, Liu Han could shoot as much as he wanted, he scored an astonishing 26 points in 24 minutes, and the shooting rate of 10 of 14 shots was amazing, but what made fans and media reporters even more amazed was Liu Han's three-point shot of 6 out of 6. Although the 76ers arranged other players to defend Liu Han after Liu Han hit three three-pointers on Iverson's head in a row, Liu Han's hand seemed to have nothing to do with the state, and he could score no matter how he shot.

Kobe Bryant also came back in this game, playing nearly 20 minutes, scoring 12 points and 4 rebounds, and his performance was average.

Iverson faced Liu Han's defense was a little difficult, although his speed and wonderful dribbling amazed the fans, but basketball is still a sport to get the ball into the basket in the end, in the face of Liu Han with long height and arms, Iverson's speed has an advantage, but he can not completely get rid of Liu Han's defense, he played 43 minutes, 27 shots only 6 hits, can be called Van Exel's possession.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the 76ers 108-88, and Liu Han's performance also beat this year's champion.

Liu Han was interviewed by an ESPN reporter after the game, and when the reporter asked Liu Han how he felt about beating this year's draft No. 1 pick, Liu Han replied: "It's usual, it's just one of the 82 regular season games, I shot what I should have shot, and the opponent is also very good, but today's state may not be good, but I think his shooting selection is not good, and he should be changed." Liu Han said what was in his heart, but he didn't expect to be blamed by the Philadelphia media after the game.

The Philadelphia media accused Liu Han of being ashamed of speaking out, just one game can't say anything, and he, a substitute player who is still struggling for a chance to play, is not qualified to comment on Philadelphia's pride, and what is even more excessive is that some Philadelphia media have made a subtle humiliation of Liu Han's complexion in pursuit of exposure.

Liu Han did not pay attention to some media in Philadelphia, but what he did not expect was that the Chinese Embassy in the United States stood up, they protested against the obscure insults of some media in Philadelphia, and demanded a reply from the relevant departments in the United States.

Liu Han was very moved in his heart, he grew up in the discrimination of others since he was a child, and now he can get the support of the country and many Chinese, which makes Liu Han feel that he should work harder to repay so many people for their support to him.

The Coalition was also quick to respond to the incident, protesting the coverage of certain media outlets in Philadelphia.

Liu Han's teammates also expressed anger at Liu Han's discrimination, O'Neal said in an interview with the media that Liu Han is the best rookie of the year in his mind, and no one else can compare to him, he praised Liu Han's diligence and easy-goingness, saying that Liu Han is the hardest working player he has ever seen, and Liu Han is a player who is very good at socializing with his teammates. Liu Han thanked O'Neal and his teammates for their support afterwards, and he said that he hoped to invite his teammates to dinner if he had time.

Kobe Bryant did not say anything in this incident, he did not want all the limelight to be occupied by this Chinese, he felt that he was the best of this rookie, and his attitude towards Liu Han also changed, Kobe Bryant has never been a person who is good at communicating with teammates.
