Chapter 130: March

The Nets had a good first two seasons, but this season, the Nets are back on the verge of a rebuild, even though the Nets look good on paper.

Delon is no longer the guard he once could be on par with Paul, and Joe Johnson is about to turn 34, but even then the Lakers still couldn't win the game.

Li Hao defended Delon alone, but no one in the Lakers stood up to stop Joe Johnson and Lopez, and Lopez has performed well in recent years.

The Nets have a very strange phenomenon, they look strong on paper, but when they actually get to the court, there will be problems, whether it is the former troika or the current star pile.

The loss to the Nets was also the Lakers' seventh loss in February, with a seven-game losing streak, but it was also the Lakers' last game in February, as the Lakers won the next three games.

111:123 victory over Celtics.

103:97 victory over Jazz.

102:93 victory over Bucks.

In these three victories, Li Hao played an average of 40 minutes per game, scoring an average of 33 points per game, and scored 30+ points in three consecutive games for the first time.

With this wave of three consecutive wins and an average of 30+ performances per game, the media blew Li Hao angrily, and even the sales of Li Hao's jerseys skyrocketed.

The Lakers smiled crookedly, although the team was rotten this season, and Kobe Bryant had been reimbursed for the season, the attendance at Staples Stadium had not declined, and the outfield could still rely on Li Hao to make a profit.

And with Li Hao's more and more outstanding performance, Chinese merchants are desperately trying to advertise in the Staples Center, because of the limited location, the price has risen again and again.

Li Hao's annual salary is only $880,000, and he has transferred an unknown number of times his annual salary for the Lakers off the court, coupled with Li Hao's performance on the court, Li Hao has become the most profitable rookie contract in NBA history.

The only pity is that Li Hao's contract is only 2 years, and the Lakers will pay the maximum salary if they want to keep Li Hao after two years, and the Lakers management has long reached an agreement on Li Hao's maximum salary.

……………………………………………..

The Lakers bid farewell to March with a three-game winning streak and welcomed March, but those March were not very friendly to the Lakers, and the first five games in March ended in losses for the Lakers.

The Lakers have a total of 16 games to play in March, and they have lost nearly a third of the front, but the first third is just the beginning, in fact, the Lakers will lose two-thirds, or more precisely, three-quarters.

The Lakers won four games in March, and 4-12 is the Lakers' record in March.

Even with such a record, no one said anything, because the Lakers are there, and throughout March, Li Hao did not miss a single game.

Although he didn't slash 50+ like with the Spurs, his performance was still very good, and Li Hao only scored less than 20 points in one of the 16 games, which was Li Hao's worst game this season, which was outrageously cold.

The remaining 15 games all had 20+ performances, of which a quarter were 30+, and even 40+ had one.

The opponents of the 30+ four games are the Grizzlies, Hawks, Thunder and Menglong, the 40+ is the Warriors, and the game with the Warriors, Li Hao fought alone against the Splash Brothers, shooting 5 of 7 three-pointers, which is the sum of the Splash Brothers' three-point shots.

Yes, the Splash Brothers didn't feel good in this game, Thompson shot 3 of 9 three-pointers, Curry shot 2 of 6, and it was precisely because of the Splash Brothers' average feel that the Lakers almost overturned the Warriors again.

It's a pity that in the end, Yin Godala's countdown killed Li Hao's efforts, and Li Hao played a whopping 45 points in this game, and tried his best to chase the score to 108:108 in the last 1.5 seconds.

But in the end, it was a stunner for Yoongodala, a mid-range shot from within the three-point line, and the final score was fixed at 110:108.

In addition to the game with the Warriors until the last minute, the game against the Timberwolves was also very intense, and I also knew that the last one would be decided.

In the game with the Warriors, Li Hao fought alone against the Splash Brothers, and with the Timberwolves, he fought Wiggins and LaVine alone, although LaVine's defense was a bit of a decoration, but Wiggins was quite good, not to mention that these two people did not talk about martial arts, and they surrounded Li Hao at every turn, and there were a few times when people started before halftime.

Under the bag of Wiggins and LaVine, Li Hao's performance in this game was average, but this time the other Lakers players stepped up, Jeremy Lin, Ryan Kelly, and Davis had a good performance.

By the way, Yang Shaoxia's season was reimbursed, in the past period of time, Ennick Yang was still plagued by injuries, after the game with the Celtics, Yang Shaoxia's knee injury worsened, and then after a period of recuperation to want to come back, but after some negotiations, the Lakers announced that Yang Shaoxia's season was reimbursed.

The Lakers lineup is not strong, and the loss of Yang Shaoxia is undoubtedly even weaker, especially the thickness of the bench, the Lakers only won 4 games in March and Nick Young's absence also has a certain relationship.

Although Nick Young often plays ghosts, as long as Nick Young can come up, it can help the team and reduce Li Hao's scoring burden.

Let's just say that in this game with the Timberwolves, if Nick Young is still there and his performance is not bad, then this game is estimated to have lost suspense long ago, and it will not be decided until the last moment.

In the last minute of the game, the Timberwolves hit consecutive three-pointers, and with 2.3 seconds left, LaVine chased the score to 101:101 in front of Li Hao.

The Lakers still have the most chance to shoot, Li Hao took the lead, and also successfully threw the ball in, and it was also a top three-point shot, completing the lore.

It was Li Hao's first shutout after entering the NBA, the Lakers' first shutout win of the season, and their third win of the month.

In this game, Li Hao scored only 21 points after scoring the killer shot, and the double package of Wiggins and LaVine still had very obvious restrictions on Li Hao.

But no matter what, the Lakers won the game.

………………………………………………….

The Lakers' fourth win was also the last game of March against the Philadelphia 76ers, who sent the best rookie of the last century to the Bucks in a three-way trade after the All-Star break.

From this point of view, the 76ers don't make any money in this deal, although the 76ers get multiple options because of this, but two of them are protected, besides, McCarvey has scored fewer points this season than last season, but there is still progress in other aspects, and the future is worth looking forward to.

But if you look at the future, the 76ers are still very profitable, not to mention that McCarvey projection has not made any progress, and injuries will come to the door next season, and McCarvey's performance has plummeted since then, and finally disappeared from everyone.

After McCarvey was traded, the 76ers' strength fell further, which also made the 76ers an ATM for the Lakers, who got two of their four wins in March.
