Liu Han's super performance of scoring more than 40 points in three consecutive games made the whole league exclaim the strength of this young player, and what made everyone feel even more amazing was that Liu Han's shooting rate has remained above 60% until now, which was only possible in the NBA by Chamberlain, and Liu Han is still an outside player, most of his shots are on the three-point line, which is his most terrifying place.

Although Reggie Miller is now the active player who shoots the most three-pointers, everyone believes that it is only a matter of time before Liu Han surpasses him, and Liu Han is also a point guard, he can control the ball in the game, which Reggie Miller can't do.

Although the Lakers did not have O'Neal in the game, they now seem to have better results, and Liu Han's performance has made all NBA teams begin to pay more attention to the power of the three-point shot.

After a day of rest, the Lakers continue their journey to Houston to take on the Houston Rockets, who are strong inside.

The Rockets have risen sharply this year after Barkley joined, but they have always lacked the right person for the point guard position, and trading Barkley with potential point guard star Sam Kassel is a big failure for the Rockets management, although Olajuwon has a strong sense of passing, but he has never been able to play the whole game, Olajuwon, who was born in 1963, is 34 years old, and his physical strength and physical condition have begun to decline gradually.

In this game, Coach Harris did not let Liu Han play a point guard again, and Van Exel would not pass the ball to Liu Han at all after he came on the court.

The starting lineup of the Lakers in this game is point guard Liu Han, scoring guard Kobe, small forward Eddie Jones, power forward Elden Campbell, and center Tyreth Knight. Coach Harris is still the usual starting lineup.

Terres-Knight lost to Olajuwon in the middle-circle jump, and the 34-year-old Olajuwon used only experience to make Tyrith-Knight jump early.

The Rockets launched the offense first, and their starting point guard was the non-draft player Matt Malone, who is 1.91 meters tall and is a player who is stronger in defense than in offense, and the Rockets' purpose is clear, limiting Liu Han's play The Lakers are nothing.

Maloney dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and gave the ball directly to Olajuwon in the horn position, and most of the Rockets' offense is now initiated by Olajuwon.

Olajuwon received the ball and passed it to Barkley, who was in the position inside. Buck, who is 1.98 meters tall, uses his ****** to make Elden Campbell very uncomfortable.

Barkley received the ball and turned around and hit a hook shot to hit two points, he is not a traditional type of interior player, but his interior skills are very solid.

Liu Han received the baseline pass and brought it to the front court, Eddie Jones ran out of the open space through Tyreth Knight cover, Liu Han passed the ball in time, Eddie Jones received the ball and shot, but just at the beginning, Eddie Jones' hand was not hot.

Barkley still used his tough ass to squeeze Eldon Campbell out of the way and grab the rebound. The Lakers quickly stepped back and the Rockets didn't fight back.

The Rockets' tactics this time are very clear, the outside line is to limit Liu Han's play, and the inside line is to attack the Lakers. This offense was still Barkley forcing Elden Campbell to score, and Campbell was very uncomfortable with Barkley's style of play.

The Lakers continued to the frontcourt, Liu Han was caught as soon as he got the ball in the front court, Liu Han had to pass the ball to Eddie Jones who came to answer next to him, the latter did not shoot directly but passed the ball to Kobe Bryant, who ran back to the bottom line, Kobe received the ball and dribbled a step directly and flew up to prepare for a one-arm dunk, but Barkley did not give rookie Kobe a chance, a head-on blood cap made Kobe fly out directly, Kobe is now a little more tender in the face of these old guys.

The Rockets grabbed the ball that came out and quickly launched a counterattack, Liu Han caught up with Matt Maloney with the ball and pulled the opponent directly, this is a tactical foul, the Lakers only have Liu Han and Eddie Jones to defend the players, and the Rockets will easily score as long as they reach the Lakers half.

Next, the Rockets are still led by Barkley and Olajuwon to attack the Lakers' interior, and the Lakers' interior players look weak against these two All-Star-caliber interior players.

And the Lakers also fell into passivity in the offense, Liu Han was caught as long as he received the ball, and the other players of the Lakers felt cold and did not enter the vacant position, and they had to face the Rockets' strong interior block, you know, Olajuwon and Barkley are the top few on the block list. Five minutes into the game, the Lakers scored two points with only Liu Han's free throws.

Liu Han feels that he should play stronger now, otherwise this game will be hanging, since his teammates are not strong, then he just comes.

After Liu Han advanced to the front court with the ball, the Rockets continued to try to wrap Liu Han, but Liu Han did not pass the ball this time, but pulled out a three-point shot, and Liu Han did not hesitate in the face of the two-person package.

Liu Han's sudden shot disrupted the rhythm of the Rockets' outside wrapping players, Matt Malone, who was closer to Liu Han, tried to interfere with Liu Han's shot, his outstretched hand accidentally touched Liu Han's arm directly, Liu Han was not disturbed by the opponent's interference to disrupt his shooting rhythm, after the shot, the referee's whistle sounded, and the ball flew directly into the basket after flying for a while. Liu Han played three plus one.

After hitting the three-point shot, Liu Han shouted at his teammates: "Run, don't stop, you can't play if you stop." "He's a very leader right now.

Liu Han's wonderful performance made Kobe very unconvinced, and he always believed that Liu Han's existence had seized his opportunity.

Next, the Rockets' offense finally didn't work, and the Lakers began to wrap up the Rockets' interior line, and the opponent's outside line was not as strong as the Lakers' players. Barkley, who faced the bag, did not play hard, but passed the ball to the outside, and Barkley, who has been troubled by his back, is now no longer as domineering as he was back then, and he still wants to get a championship ring.

The outside line of the rocket is not accurate at all, the ball thrown out of the frame, Tyreth Knight struggled to grab it and threw it directly to Liu Han who had run to the halfcourt, Liu Han received the ball and advanced to the front court without waiting for his teammates to settle down and shoot three points again, at this time the rocket's bag has not yet been formed, and the ball thrown by Liu Han hit again.

Liu Han's two three-pointers finally stabilized the situation of the Lakers, otherwise the Lakers would definitely be miserably abused by the Rockets in this game.

In the rest of the first quarter, the Rockets continued to play inside, and the Lakers also recovered, Liu Han would shoot when he had the opportunity to face the bag, and his passes began to turn into assists when he didn't have a chance, and the first quarter ended with the Rockets leading by five points at 30-25.

At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Liu Han rested, the Lakers' bench performed well, they were not stronger than the Rockets' bench in terms of strength, and the Rockets did not have a single player available on the bench now.

In the second half of the second quarter, Liu Han appeared again, and the Rockets gradually replaced the main team, and the main players of the Lakers who had rested for a period of time seemed to have lost their hand on the bench, and Liu Han's several passes were wasted.

At halftime, the Lakers trailed the Rockets by 10 points.

Entering the third quarter, Liu Han stood up again, he faced the bag in the first half of several consecutive three-pointers made the Rockets' outside players very scruples, which gave Liu Han a chance, he dribbled suddenly a change of direction seemed to be from the outside, the Rockets players quickly moved sideways to block Liu Han from breaking through, but Liu Han then changed direction again, and then the other hand gently flicked the ball out of the middle of the two people.

Liu Han, who broke through the bag, hit a two-point pullup jumper, and he now doesn't want to go inside to give the Rockets a chance to block.

Next, the Rockets are still tight on Liu Han's bag, but Liu Han, who has found a breakthrough point, has no fear when facing the bag, he will never be soft if he can shoot, and he will never pass the ball if he can break through.

The mentality of the Lakers players has gradually changed, they feel that Liu Han is a little too lonely, and he doesn't give others a chance to shoot at all, although this guy is still very accurate, but there is no chance to get out of the way when they play them like this. Lakers players with a changed mindset are starting to slack off in the game, and they are not so tight on the Rockets' interior line.

The Rockets continued to attack the Lakers' interior and scored one after another, while the Lakers relied on Liu Han alone to bite the score, and at the end of the third quarter, the Lakers were still 8 points behind, and Liu Han alone had scored 42 points.

At the break in the third quarter, Lakers head coach Harris finally got angry, the "good old man" in the eyes of this player finally couldn't stand the slackness of the player and became angry, he scolded all the players of the Lakers team with a series of expletives, including Liu Han, he expressed anger at Liu Han's distrust of other players, a team is five people fighting, Jordan alone has no way to defeat a united team, Wilt Chamberlain has also been suppressed by the Celtics.

The outrage of the honest man shocked the players, and they began to wake up to the fact that if they offended the manager, they might lose even the opportunity to play in the future.

Liu Han didn't apologize, his current mentality has changed a lot, it's not that he doesn't pass the ball, it's that the ball he passes is wasted by his teammates, which will be unbearable for anyone. However, Liu Han still felt that he should listen to the coach's opinion, and he didn't want to miss the opportunity to play.

Entering the fourth quarter, the Lakers' players finally began to recover, although they were still suppressed on the inside, but the ball passed by Liu Han after attracting the opponent's defense began to convert into assists.

In the first half of the fourth quarter, Kobe Bryant hit two three-pointers in the open position, and Eddie Jones also made two mid-range shots, and the Lakers gradually caught up with the score.

The Rockets finally couldn't help it at this time, if they continued to pack Liu Han now, they would give other Lakers players a chance, but now that the rest of the Lakers players are starting to recover, it makes no sense to continue to pack.

Liu Han, who was not limited by the bag, began to show his strong firepower output, and he used two three-pointers to overtake the score, and the Rockets were in a dilemma.

In the end, the Western Conference matchup ended with the Lakers' victory, and Liu Han scored another 48 points, making the efforts of Barkley and Olajuwon useless.
