The Lakers players brought the state of the Warriors to the Jazz, and Li Hao and Williams performed normally throughout the game, and the others were really sleepwalking.

Especially Randle, Randle's performance in the season is actually quite good, and he can often have a double-double performance, but recently, Randle hit the rookie wall, and the score basically hovered back in the single digits, and even the main position was snatched away by Nance Jr.

Randle doesn't have any advantage in height at power forward, plus he doesn't have the offensive ability to carry the ball, and he doesn't develop well from a distance, so he is easy to target.

Although Nance Jr. doesn't have much ball-handling and long-range shooting ability, he has a good ability to block and pick-and-roll, and his defense is better than Randle's, and then there is the combination with Russell.

Russell's technical characteristics are that he needs the cooperation of his teammates to really play his strength, let's just say that the Lakers are the starters, and it is unrealistic for Li Hao and Kobe to play with Russell, Hibbert has completely laid flat, and Randle's blocking quality is average.

Besides, Randle may not be willing to block Russell, Kobe Bryant retires, the Lakers will inevitably reshuffle the cards, Li Hao's position as the boss of the team is unshakable, but the second leader can still fight.

However, these two people don't know that in Li Hao's heart, they are not the most suitable candidates for the second leader of the team, especially Russell, although Li Hao reported the No. 3 position this season, but Li Hao's favorite is still the No. 1 position.

Randle, who develops ball-handling and range-out, is actually a good second-in-command, but everyone has their own likes and dislikes.

Nance Jr. is better suited to Russell, which is also reflected in the stats, which immediately became more attractive after Nance Jr. started.

Let's just say that in today's game with the Jazz, Russell scored the third highest score on the team, and he was also the last player to score a double-double outside of Li Hao and Williams.

Compared with the Lakers, only three of them scored double-doubles, and the Jazz had six double-doubles, and in the end, with these six, the Jazz defeated the Lakers with a score of 109-92.

Li Hao was still the best one in the game, 10 of 19 shots, 4 of 8 three-pointers, 7 of 7 free throws, and a stable output of 31 points, 9 assists, 13 rebounds, 2 steals, and 1 block.

"Li, you have scored 30+ games in four consecutive games" After the game, reporters surrounded Li Hao.

"Please call me the master of score control" After scoring 24 points in 4 consecutive games, Li Hao came to another wave of 31 points in four consecutive games this time.

"No, no, no, it's the essence of human control," the reporter corrected.

"Okay, okay, you can say whatever you say" It doesn't make sense to say anything about losing a game.

With a two-game losing streak on the road, the Lakers returned to Los Angeles, where the Lakers' next three games were against the Rockets, Kings and Spurs.

is not a weak team, Harden has reached the peak of the Rockets, and Capela has gradually grown, and it is precisely because of Capela's growth that the Rockets will let go of Howard the following summer.

Howard is no longer at his peak, and compared to Howard, Capela, who is pure and willing to be a little brother, is more suitable to partner with Harden.

Capela can't compare to Howard in some aspects, but in terms of cost performance and fit, Capela is better suited than Howard.

Seriously, if Li Hao was given a choice, he would also choose Capela instead of Howard, but unfortunately, Li Hao didn't choose, so wait until this summer, Howard is one of Li Hao's recruits.

The Lakers need a basket center, and originally thought that Hibbert should be a good choice, but with Hibbert's performance on the team, the Lakers will definitely not stay.

And in this summer's market, there are only three people who can really make Li Hao look at them, namely Howard, Drummond and Big White Whiteside.

Drummond is a restricted player, and the Pistons have always valued Drummond, it is basically impossible to join the Lakers, so the Lakers can fight for Howard and Whiteside.

With his excellent performance this season, Whiteside will receive a big contract of 4 years and 98 million US dollars in the Heat, which is also the biggest controversy in the summer.

Because the Heat would rather give Whiteside a big contract than give Wade a decent retirement contract.

However, Whiteside is not a player with some ambitions in his own right, and he is more hungry for money than glory, but this is also normal, everyone has different pursuits.

The impact of the different pursuits is also different, and the mentality of the big white side has changed dramatically after winning the big contract, although the next big white side data is good-looking, but in fact his enterprising spirit is gone.

It is precisely because of this that the Heat sent the big white edge away, and Howard is different, and the problem of the happy beast is not small, but there is one thing you can't deny, that is, his most honorable pursuit.

If it weren't for the sake of chasing honor, then it would have been good for him to stay with the Magic, when the Magic directly drove away the head coach and general manager who had conflicts with Warcraft for Howard.

And the same is true for choosing the Hawks, the Hawks have been a strong team in the East in the past two years, and Howard joined the Hawks to go for the championship, as for the result?

was abandoned after the season, traded for the new season, traded again after the Hornets played one, then was bought out, and finally came back to the Lakers, laughed and grudged Kobe Bryant, and finally completed the redemption.

So for your big white side, Li Hao actually values Howard more, but that is a prerequisite, Howard is willing to be a "blue-collar center", and then there is weight loss to complete the transformation in advance.

But this is not an easy thing to do, and the reason why Howard was able to wake up was because he experienced a series of things that followed, which made him let go of his self-esteem and reflect on everything in the past.

But can Howard change this summer?

No one knows, but even if he can't be sure, Li Hao is still ready to give it a try this summer because he needs help.

Of course, Howard is only one of them, and Li Hao has several goals.

Kobe Bryant retired this summer, Hibbert's contract expired, and the salary cap soared, and the Lakers could make a difference.

Although Li Hao will sign a contract with a maximum salary, even so, the Lakers still have enough salary space, and besides, it is better to bring in reinforcements with Li Hao.

Originally, why did the Lakers sign a few garbage contracts, isn't it because no one on the team can't attract players?

………………………………………………………..

For the next summer, for next season, Li Hao has clear goals and detailed plans, the third year of his career, the first year of becoming the boss of the team, Li Hao must do something.

But that's all for later, after the end of this season, so at this moment, Li Hao's eyes should be on the present, besides, the iron still needs to be hard, if he is not strong enough, then it is useless to say anything.

So in this game against the Rockets, Li Hao has only one thought, and that is to win the game.
