Chapter 55: Preseason is over

"This~~~" Seeing the performance of the two on the court, the Jazz no longer had that feeling of making money, because at this time, Li Hao was almost pressing Exum to play.

Commanding, scheduling, breaking, assisting, three points, Li Hao showed his all-round ability in front of everyone, and Exum was difficult to do by Li Hao.

From Li Hao's bench to the end of the first quarter, the Lakers have surpassed the Jazz by 6 points, and all the points behind the Lakers are related to Li Hao.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Exum no longer wanted to find face from the offense, but tried to keep an eye on Li Hao, which was the same as Exum's follow-up development, but unfortunately Exum was injured again.

The lack of talent among the rookies in 2014 had a lot to do with injuries, with almost half of the players in the lottery having been seriously injured early in their careers, and even several were seriously injured when they were preparing for the build-up.

………………………………………..

Although Exum defended hard, the Lakers still widened the margin to double digits, and then the main players of both sides returned, and the Jazz launched a counterattack.

But in this game, the Lakers' main players were in good shape, especially Kobe, who scored 6 points in a row to curb the Jazz's chasing points after returning to the court.

On the Jazz side, Hayward and Favors performed well, but the two sides also exploded each other at most, so the Lakers still led the Jazz by ten points at the end of the first half.

In the third quarter, the Jazz bench ushered in a wave of outbursts, Gobert and Booker scored frequently on the inside, and Exum scored 4 points in a row while Li Hao was not playing.

I have to say that Exum's talent is indeed very good, but it's a pity that the Jazz failed to cultivate it well, coupled with their own problems, they couldn't play in the end.

Seeing that the score was getting closer, Scott replaced Li Hao on the field, and Li Hao, who was on the field, did not disappoint Scott, first holding down Exam, who was a little about to get up, and then assisted his teammates to score one after another, stabilizing the situation at once.

In the end, the Lakers scored six double-doubles, and the best Kobe Bryant scored 27 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists, then Li Hao 20 points, 6 rebounds, and 8 assists, and then Boozer 17 points, Randle 15 points, Jordan Hill 11 points, and Thackeray 10 points.

The Lakers won their first preseason win over the Jazz 110-102.

……………………………………………

With the wonderful performance of these two games, Li Hao's ranking in the best rookie has improved tremendously, and Li Hao was placed in the shortlist of best rookies because of the TNT triumvirate's bet, but now, ESPN has updated this list, and Li Hao has rushed to the top ten.

The champion has failed to perform in two consecutive 20+ games, Li Hao did it in a second-round show, and after watching Li Hao's game, you will find that he has done far more than just scoring.

He can create chances for his teammates, he can give assists to his teammates, he can make his teammates better.

In front of Barkley and Smith, O'Neal got carried away, but in private, O'Neal has been warning Li Hao that the preseason is not the real NBA.

O'Neill didn't know that Li Hao didn't have any pride and complacency, because Li Hao, who had the system, knew very well that he was still a long way from the peak.

Li Hao is a person who aspires to dominate the NBA, how can he be complacent because he has a good performance in the preseason.

………………………………………………..

Three days later, the Lakers ushered in the second game against the Jazz at the Staples Center, because the Lakers won the first two games, and the Lakers were full of anticipation for this game at the Staples Center.

However, anticipation of this kind of thing is often accompanied by disappointment, and the Lakers players who returned to Los Angeles all turned into old blacksmiths in Los Angeles, and after the whole game, the Lakers scored double-doubles for two players.

The first to score a double-double was Kobe Bryant, only 1 point less than the previous game, scoring 26 points, but these 26 points were exchanged for Kobe Bryant's crazy shots.

The other players of the Lakers themselves have a very low shooting percentage, and Kobe Bryant occupies a lot of shots, and the Lakers score in this situation is predictable.

Another double-double was Li Hao, who played 26 minutes in this game, scored 13 points, and delivered 4 assists and grabbed 8 rebounds.

In this game, Li Hao was taken care of, coupled with the blacksmith's possession, Li Hao's previous efficiency no longer existed, but Li Hao set a new record in grabbing rebounds, but unfortunately this record did not help the Lakers win the game.

After losing to the Jazz, the Lakers' preseason win and loss came to 2-3, while the Lakers will play a total of eight games in the preseason, and the next opponents are the Suns, Trail Blazers and Kings.

These three teams, the Suns, are in a rebuilding phase and will not be allowed to get lottery picks, while the Kings are perennially at the bottom of the league.

Moreover, the king's uniform group has a very poor vision for selecting people, and it will not train newcomers, the only commendable thing is that the king's boss's daughter is very beautiful.

Li Hao treats women as dung, and if he sees a beautiful woman who can't walk, it is estimated that he has gone to the king to be a son-in-law.

The Trail Blazers are a playoff-caliber team with Aldridge and Lillard at the core, and based on the strength of these three teams, the Lakers are most likely to beat the Suns and Kings.

However, basketball has never been a sport to be judged by strength on paper, and the Lakers lost the game against the Suns, with a full-time score of 108-114, and the Lakers lost the game by 6 points.

In this game, Li Hao once again broke out the rookie in the opposite position, the last player in the lottery area, TJ Warren, facing Warren who was 5 cm taller than himself, Li Hao could still lock it up.

It's just that Warren got 11 minutes of playing time in this game, and under Li Hao's defense, Warren didn't score a point, while Li Hao scored 18 points.

Compared to the previous game, the Lakers played up and down, but in the end they still lost the game, but a day later, the Lakers won the game against the Trail Blazers.

In this game, Kobe Bryant rotated and rested, Jeremy Lin returned from injury, and the Lakers blossomed again, with Wesley Johnson, Thackeray, Boozer, Ellington, and Jeremy Lin's five starters all scoring double-doubles.

Coupled with Li Hao, who came off the bench, Randle combined for 34 points, Li Hao and Randle each scored 17 points, and the Lakers defeated the Trail Blazers 99-89.

After defeating the strongest Trail Blazers, the Lakers lost to the weakest of the three teams, the Kings, and Li Hao got the chance to start the game against the Kings and also delivered a good performance.

After 30 minutes on the court, he had a quasi-triple-double of 20 points, 10 assists, and 8 rebounds, but such an almost perfect performance still couldn't help the Lakers win.

Kobe, who continued to take turns to rest, once again let Li Hao play alone, but when Li Hao found that he didn't feel very good, he chose a reasonable way to play, which made Director Zhang feel very reasonable when he saw it.
