Chapter 178: Winning and Losing
Fans and media were disappointed in the game against the Warriors, and Lakers fans were disappointed that the team lost the game, after all, the Lakers had ended the Warriors' crazy winning streak.
Now it has been ended by the Warriors, although there is a gap between the number of consecutive wins between the two, but for the current Lakers, three consecutive wins are very rare.
At the beginning of the season, fans briefly thought that the team was going to have a revival, but as the season progressed, fans realized that the team may still have some way to go.
As for the media, they naturally want to see the excitement and want to see the follow-up of Li Hao and Green, but unfortunately, the Warriors led by double digits in the first quarter, and there was almost no suspense in the second quarter.
Green is sure he is not a good person, but he is definitely not a stupid person, and seeing that the team can easily win the game, he naturally will not make any small moves.
Moreover, Li Hao, who was busy chasing the wind, didn't have time to pay attention to Green, and when the game lost suspense, the two were replaced by the team, and it was impossible to have any intersection.
After the game, the media did not forget to provoke it, in this regard, Li Hao was not fooled, besides, as the losing side of this game, Li Hao said that it was useless.
As the victor, Green said with an arrogant face: "Lions have a nap time." ”
……………………………………………………………….
After losing to the Warriors, the Lakers ushered in another wave of consecutive losses, and in the next three games, the Lakers lost to the Kings, Thunder and Jazz.
In this wave of four-game losing streak, Kobe Bryant played two games, respectively against the Kings and Thunder, and his performance was not too good.
Li Hao found that Kobe Bryant could play well after the break, but now Kobe Bryant can't continue to output.
Bryant was known for his longevity, averaging more than 40 minutes per game in several seasons, and never played less than 36 minutes per game in more than a dozen seasons from the beginning of the '98-'99 season until his serious injury in the '12-13 season.
But people who are so long-lasting and enduring are now unable to output continuously, and they can only play a good game after a short break.
This can understand why Kobe Bryant is retiring, for those who once stood at the top, the feeling of falling off the altar is simply not too uncomfortable.
In addition, Kobe Bryant was originally a person with strong self-esteem and pride.
"Lee, where do you think your limit is?" After losing to the Jazz, Kobe Bryant appeared at Li Hao's house again.
The Lakers played at home in the first two games, so Kobe Bryant had time to come to Li Hao this day, if the first few games were played away, then Kobe Bryant would be with his wife and two daughters when he returned to Los Angeles.
"I don't know," Li Hao shook his head.
"I didn't know that when I was younger, but now I know where my limits are," Bryant said.
Li Hao didn't speak, because he didn't know the specific meaning of Kobe's words at this time.
"It's normal that you don't understand, and when you get to that stage, you'll understand" Looking at Li Hao at this time, Kobe Bryant's eyes seemed to have put down his young self.
The train of time~~~~ ahh
……………………………………………………………
"How's it taste?" Skipping the deep and sad topic, the two are going out to try dishes today, saying that these days Li Hao has dragged Kobe's family and Holtz to try several chefs' dishes.
Kobe Bryant is purely a number, not in the scope of consideration, in the past two years of knowing Kobe, Li Hao has been fully Cobe's taste buds are different from normal.
But this is also normal, Kobe Bryant is very strict with himself, and he also pays great attention to eating, so under the bombardment of more than ten years, it is understandable that Kobe's taste buds have become a little strange.
Moreover, Li Hao has experienced it personally, Kobe Bryant has taken Li Hao to his favorite restaurants, but there are very few restaurants that can make Li Hao feel delicious.
Although there is a problem with Li Hao's acceptance of foreign food, don't forget that Li Hao is not a traditional athlete, and two years ago, he was just a social animal.
"I think the taste is too heavy" Kobe Bryant was the first to speak, but Li Hao directly didn't hear it.
"I think it tastes good," Vanessa said.
"I also think it's delicious, better than the previous ones" Holtz has been to China several times because of her work, and she has to stay for a short time, so she has the most right to speak.
"How many people are in the back," Li Hao asked.
"There are also three chefs" Because of the treatment, there are really a lot of chefs who applied for the job this time.
"Then try it all and make a decision" Li Hao also felt that the dishes made today were the best, but since there were still some later, then he was not in a hurry to make a decision.
So in the evening, the group tried another chef's dishes.
…………………………………………………………………
The next day, because of the game, the trial came to an end temporarily, and today's game is still at home, and the opponent is the Pelicans, who are led by Brother Thick Eyebrows.
However, this time the thick eyebrows will not play, a few days ago against the Pacers thick eyebrows only played three minutes before leaving the game, this time the injury is not serious, but it also needs a few days of rest.
However, this is a good thing for the Lakers, the Pelicans with thick eyebrows and without thick eyebrows are completely two teams, and after a few years of growth, thick eyebrows have officially entered the peak of their careers.
When Li Hao's soul was worn, the thick eyebrows had begun to decline, although the thick eyebrows were not too old at that time, but there were too many thick eyebrows injuries in the later stage, and his mind didn't seem to be completely on basketball.
Facing the Pelicans without thick eyebrows, the Lakers won the game with almost no effort, and Li Hao was still the best one in the game.
He played 30 minutes in the game, shooting 10-of-18, 5-of-8 from three-point range and 6-of-6 from the free-throw line, scoring 31 points, 12 assists, 11 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 blocks.
Both blocks came from Evans, a former draft template, who was supposed to be his last peak last season, and then Evans would suffer frequent injuries and even end up being banned for two years for violating drug deals.
Because the Lakers determined a huge lead early, they played 16 minutes in this game, scoring 7 points, 1 assist, and 3 rebounds.
With less playing time for the veterans, more time for the younger players, Russell, Nance Jr. and Brown all got a lot of time in this game.
Recently, Scott seems to be interested in developing young players, and Nance Jr. is now rotating with Randle, which has also caused Randle's dissatisfaction.
Brown gets the occasional opportunity, let's say the game against the Pelicans, Brown gets 20 minutes of playing time, and if it goes according to the original development, Brown will be on the Pelicans' lineup next season.
With Scott's current situation leading the team, it is estimated that the next class will not change, because this product is too stubborn, and he doesn't know how to be flexible and win people's hearts at all, and even dumped the blame on the players when he lost in a row before.
The most important thing is that Scott also complained that Kobe Bryant shot too much.
