Chapter 105: The plot is right
Li Hao didn't experience the feeling of two fists being invincible to four hands in the Warriors, but he realized it in the Bulls, Rose, Butler, Gasol, there is always someone on the Bulls' side who can stand up.
On the Lakers' side, there is only one Li Hao who can stand up, and the few people who performed well in the last game are just accidents in the final analysis, otherwise the Lakers' record would not be so bad.
"At the end of the first half, the Bulls always maintained a double-digit advantage" In the first quarter, when Li Hao was replaced, the two sides drew 18:18, but after Li Hao was taken off the court, the difference between the two sides quickly widened to double digits.
Not long after the start of the second quarter, the Bulls pulled the difference to 16 points, and then Scott replaced Li Hao, who first appeared on the court, first used a three-point to stabilize the situation, and then another 2+1 pulled the difference back to 10 points.
A minute later, Li Hao stole Gibson to assist his teammates, and the difference became single digits, and Thibodeau immediately replaced the main team, and then the difference between the two sides returned to 10 points, and the difference has been maintained.
………………………………………..
Rose is no longer at his peak, and the damage brought to Rose by consecutive major injuries in the past three years is immeasurable, but even so, Li Hao found that he still couldn't stop Rose's breakthrough.
This made Li Hao can't help but think, how strong is Ross who has not been injured in the past few years?
Defensively, Li Hao wants to defend Rose, and on offense, Li Hao also faces Jimmy Butler, the toughest man of the Bulls, and in the past two months, Li Hao's strength has been recognized by their respective teams in the NBA.
It's a contest of strength and power, and it's a clash of muscles.
If Rose is a talented player, then Butler is an acquired hard worker, Butler played four years in college before entering the NBA, and usually this type of player does not achieve much in the NBA.
Of course, with the exception of certain guys, people already have the strength to play in the NBA in their freshman year.
But Butler relied on his own efforts to embark on the road to superstar step by step, and even reached the level of supergiant.
Butler is somewhat similar to his co-ordinator Leonard, both of whom rely on defense to establish themselves on the team before slowly developing their offensive abilities.
It is said that the 11th class is also the first order of talent, Irving, Thompson, Valanciunas, Kemba Walker, Leonard, Butler, Vucevich, Morris brothers and so on.
The defense competed with Rose, and the offense fought hand-to-hand with Butler, so Li Hao could still deliver 20 points, 4 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block in the first half.
Throughout the first half, Li Hao really tried his best and played for 18 minutes, but even this still can't change the fact that the Lakers are 10 points behind, and even in the second half, the situation did not improve.
Breaking through, sharing the ball, or forcing a layup under the bag of Noah and Gasol, Li Hao did everything he could, but the difference on the court never narrowed.
And when Li Hao was replaced, the difference between the two sides was immediately widened, and in today's game, Nick Young and Jeremy Lin were not in the state, and Nick Young was a little uncomfortable before the game, as if it was a recurrence of an old injury.
As long as you play in the NBA for a few years, it is not too normal to have injuries on your body, and this is true for a physical fitness as strong as James's historical level.
At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers were already nearly twenty points behind the Bulls, and even if Li Hao scored 6 points in a row in the fourth quarter, breaking the personal scoring record could not help the Lakers recover the decline.
In the end, the Lakers lost the game 98-118, Li Hao played 38 minutes, 14 of 26 shots, 4 of 10 three-pointers, 6 of 8 free throws, scored 38 points, 6 assists, 10 rebounds, 3 steals, and 2 blocks.
……………………………………………………..
The 26 shots set a record for the most shots made by Li Hao this season. At the same time, 38 points was also the highest score, but unfortunately neither record brought victory to the Lakers.
And the script that Li Hao had in mind in his heart in the last game was completely realized in this scene, facing Rose, Butler and Gasol, Li Hao was indeed outnumbered and difficult to support alone.
Gasol scored 25 points in this game, which was the highest score on the Bulls team, then Butler's second-highest 22 points, and the third was Rose's 20 points, and Rose's 20 points were still scored under Li Hao's defense, which is very high.
"Derek, let's train together after the season" The lost Li Hao is ready to get it back from the sidelines, that is, to steal Rose's skills.
"Man, it's only been a third of the regular season," Rose looked at Li Hao a little speechlessly.
Although the two met for the first time today, as a player, sometimes they don't need to use their mouths to speak, and the two have a feeling of sympathy for each other after a game.
"What's the matter" Li Hao wanted to become stronger, and he was very urgent.
After several months of hard work and exploration, Li Hao has figured out a lot of things, attributes can indeed directly improve strength, but in addition to using attributes, you can also become stronger through your own training.
Such as various breakthrough techniques, Crawford's back-dribbling jump, crossover, spying step, triple threat, Sam Gold, and so on.
So in addition to Rose, Crawford is also Li Hao's target, but this matter needs to be slow, as Rose said, the regular season is only a third of the past.
sympathized with Rose, and sparked with Butler, but this is normal, the collision of two muscular men must be passionate.
Don't look at Li Hao's handsomeness, the tendons and flesh on his body, Ao Mei can't put it down, as for Butler, he can definitely be called the fiercest and most ruthless player in the NBA.
The collision between the two in the game was very intense, and it can even be said that this game was the most intense game played by Li Hao in the NBA.
On the other side, Butler couldn't see it because of the black relationship, but in fact he was worse than Li Hao, and when he returned to the locker room, Butler lay down directly, and even needed the support of his teammates for a while.
But in such a fierce confrontation, Butler still didn't defend against Li Hao, but this is not because Butler's defensive ability is not good, but because Li Hao's own state and feel are too good.
When a player is in good shape and feel, it is useless for a defensive player to do a good job, which is very common in the NBA, and it is also very mysterious.
…………………………………………………….
"You've done well enough," said the assistant coach after the game, patting Li Hao on the shoulder.
I don't know why, Li Hao, who heard this, didn't feel comforted at all, and the sense of loss in this defeat was stronger than any previous loss.
"Is it because this is the first time I have really lost a game in the strict sense of the word" is Li Hao's conjecture.
Because of Kobe's relationship, Li Hao has never subconsciously regarded himself as the boss and core of the Lakers, so Li Hao will be disappointed if he loses the game, but it will not be so strong.
