Chapter 170: The Essence of Human Control
The day after the victory over the 76ers, the Lakers visited Washington and then knocked out the Wizards with Wall and Beal.
In the game against the Wizards, Kobe Bryant dreamed of returning to the top, scoring the second-highest 31 points in the game, while the highest in the game was the Wizards' Wall, with 34 points.
However, the lost game, no matter how many people were taken, was empty, and as for Bill, he was limited by Li Hao in the whole game and only scored 11 points.
Compared with Wall, in fact, Bill is better restricted, Wall is very fast, purely compared to speed, Li Hao may not be able to compare, and as a point guard, Wall's assist ability is very good.
Wall is a traditional point guard with a very good sense of the big picture and assists, and of course, Wall's independent offensive ability is also very good, and the last few years have been the pinnacle of Wall's career.
Compared to a point guard like Wall, it is almost impossible to completely limit it, and in contrast, Beal, who only focuses on offense, is much easier to deal with.
In the face of Li Hao, Beal has no advantage at all, and the result of the game also indicates this, it is precisely because Li Hao locked Bill that the Lakers won this victory.
Li Hao has been unable to get out of the sewer, he played 36 minutes in this game and shot 8 of 15, 3 of 6 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, scored 24 points, 13 assists, 10 rebounds, 1 steal, 2 blocks, and two blocks were all on Beal.

"Charles, do you want to gamble again" TNT O'Neal looked at Barkley.
"Bet on what?" Barkley looked at O'Neill with a wary expression.
"Just bet on whether Li can complete a season triple-double this season" Regarding Li Hao's recent performance, everyone has already speculated.
It has been more than a month since the start of the regular season, and if at first everyone thought that the Lakers ushered in a revival, then now everyone understands that the Lakers are still some way from revival.
Coupled with Kobe's retirement, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Lakers want to give Kobe a perfect and grand ending.
This season, the Lakers have only two goals, to give Kobe Bryant a perfect ending, and to train the rookies selected in the last two seasons.
"I said I would never bet on Chinese players again," Barkley refused.
"Charles, it's going to be boring," O'Neill excited.
"So do you think Lee has a triple-double this season?" Barkley asked.
"You bet with me that I can speak," O'Neill said.
"Then I'm betting on a triple-double," Barkley said directly.
"Well, then this bet will not be established" because O'Neal also thinks that Li Hao has a triple-double season.
Although O'Neal and Barkley did not make a bet, the discussion about Li Hao's season triple-double became more and more enthusiastic, because Li Hao won another triple-double just one day after the two discussed.
The Lakers have experienced a wave of five consecutive away games before, and this time it is even more exaggerated, starting from the 76ers game, the Lakers will play a total of eight away games in the next period.
The Lakers' next stop is Atlanta, which was the glory of this Hawks last season, and the Hawks will gradually decline after that, but even this does not seem to be the current Lakers team that can beat.
I don't know if it's because of the energy exhaustion in the last game against the Wizards, Kobe Bryant played far less excited against the Hawks than he was against the Wizards, and the shooting percentage was quite low.
You can't expect a 37-year-old veteran covered in injuries to explode on the field.
And Li Hao is as stable as ever, Li Hao still shot around 15 times in this game, 9 of 16 shots, 2 of 5 three-point shots, 5 free throws of 5, scored 24 points, 10 assists, 10 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 block.
Li Hao scored 24 points in two consecutive games, and these 24 points were also the highest score in the game, only Li Hao scored more than 20 points in the two teams combined, and the highest score on the Hawks' side was Horford, only 18 points, but even so the Hawks finally defeated the Lakers 103-98.
………………………………………………………………..
The winning streak was followed by a losing streak, and after the loss to the Hawks, the Lakers came to Motor City, the last time they played at Staples Arena, the Lakers won the game, and this time they came to Motor City, and the Pistons didn't give the Lakers a chance.
From the first quarter, the Lakers suppressed it, and under the defense of the Pistons, the Lakers players did not have a high shooting percentage, and Kobe Bryant did not score a point.
In this case, Li Hao was forced to take over the right to shoot, but today's Li Hao also felt very cold, shooting 7 of 20, 1 of 6 three-pointers, and 9 of 10 free throws, scoring 24 points, 7 assists, 12 rebounds, 1 steal, and 1 block.
Li Hao, who couldn't find his touch on the outside, began to attack the Pistons' interior line, and it was with Li Hao's suicidal impact that the Lakers chased the score to only three points at the last moment.
Even in the end, the Lakers had a chance to tie, but in the end, Scott did not arrange Kobe Bryant or Li Hao, he chose Williams, who had the best hand today.
Williams shot 5 percent from the field in this game, 6 of 12 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, while Li Hao and Kobe Bryant both shot 1 of 6 three-pointers.
Moreover, the two will definitely be guarded by the Pistons, so Scott's choice of Williams makes sense to some extent.
Kobe Bryant is about to retire, and Li Hao has not really sat in the position of boss, so these two will not let this ball go.
But in the end, the Lakers did not tie the score, and Williams' game-winning three-pointer ended with a deflected basket, and the Lakers finally lost the game 108-111.
There is also a very interesting statistic in this game, that is, Li Hao has scored 24 points in three consecutive games, and all three games have been away from home.
"Lee, did you do it on purpose?" Even reporters couldn't help but be skeptical after the game.
"Well, I'm not the essence of human control" Li Hao regretted it after answering, because he told the future title of Brother Zui.
"Human Void Essence? This title is very suitable for your recent performance," the reporter's eyes lit up after listening.
"I said, I didn't mean to, it's just a coincidence" However, no matter how Li Hao explained, the reporter just didn't stop, and then the title was pressed on Li Hao.
…………………………………………………….
"Ma Dan, the next game will definitely not have those 24 points" Seeing that the "Human Score Control Essence" was directly on the basketball news page, Li Hao secretly swore an oath.
"Li, this title is good" was used by the media and quickly spread in the team.
"Go aside" Li Hao didn't bother to pay attention to this group of people, and directly put on an eye mask and continued to sleep.
The Lakers' road trip continues, and the game with the Pistons will be flown to Toronto immediately, and the Lakers will next visit the Air Canada Center to challenge the Dragons.
This is also the last time Kobe Bryant will be at the home of Menglong, and it will also be the last time he will play against his protégé DeRozan.
