Chapter 183: Catching Grimm

The Lakers are on their longest losing streak of the season, losing to the Kings and Spurs before losing to the Trail Blazers, Mavericks, Bulls, Clippers and Hornets.

A wave of seven consecutive losses, and the longest losing streak before this was a six-game losing streak, when the Lakers won the first two on the road and lost the last six on the road.

And this time, the Lakers' schedule is much better than before, with five of the seven games being at the Staples Center, but even then the Lakers broke their longest losing streak of the season.

The game against the Hornets was the Lakers' last game of January, that is, the Lakers lost the last seven games of the month.

……………………………………………….

In the next five games, Li Hao's output was stable and there was no lack of outbursts, especially in the game with the Mavericks, Li Hao cut down the second 40+ performance of the season.

Li Hao played 40 minutes in the whole game, 15 of 27 shots, 5 of 9 three-pointers, 9 of 10 free throws, 44 points, 10 assists, 10 rebounds, 3 steals, and 1 block.

But this performance still failed to help the Lakers end their losing streak against the Mavericks, and at the end of the game, the Lakers lost the game by four points.

102:106.

It was also the closest of the five losses, with the biggest margin of the five coming against the Hornets, who also signed Jeremy Lin last summer.

However, the Hornets' victory has little to do with Jeremy Lin, who is fading away from madness and gradually becoming an ordinary player.

The end of the game against the Hornets also marked the official end of January, and the game was scheduled for the evening of the 31st, and the game ended almost at 12 o'clock.

…………………………………………………..

The arrival of February also heralds the second half of the regular season this season, and this year's All-Star Weekend will start on the 11th in Toronto, which is also the first time that Menglong has hosted an All-Star in the NBA.

As for the All-Star lineup, it came out as early as after the game with the Spurs, and on the Lakers side, Li Hao and Kobe Bryant joined hands again to enter the All-Star, and they started together.

Kobe Bryant became the vote king of this All-Star, with more than 2 million votes, while Li Hao had more than 1.8 million, and then Curry's 1.6 million, and then the number of votes was directly cut off.

Although James also got more than one million votes, his votes were more than 100, and there was a gap of nearly 600,000 votes with Curry.

The West starters are Curry, Kobe, Li Hao, Durant and Leonard, while the East is Lowry, Wade, James, Paul George and Carmelo Anthony.

The bench lineup was announced a week later, and Li Hao's appearance would definitely have an impact on the Western Conference All-Star lineup, and that person who was affected was none other than Warriors player Dream Green.

In the timeline without Li Hao, Green would have been selected for the Western substitute lineup, but now that there is more Li Hao, and he has directly become a starter, someone in the original Western lineup will definitely be kicked out.

And in the Western Conference, Westbrook, Thompson, Anthony Davis, Cousins, Paul, Harden, Aldridge, who is no better than Green is qualified for the All-Star.

Whether it's on the court or on the team, each of the above is taller than Green, so it's not hard to understand why Green was kicked out.

After the league announced the All-Star bench lineup on the 29th, Green, who learned that he was not selected for the bench lineup, collapsed directly, not only scolding in training, but also having a verbal altercation with his teammates because of the hour.

For a player, All-Star status is a symbol, a recognition of his strength, and a proof of popularity, especially a player like Green who played in the second round.

It's a pity that Li Hao doesn't know all this, if this thing knows that his appearance will make Green lose the original opportunity to be selected as an All-Star, then he will probably be very happy.

This product is generous in some ways, but very petty and vindictive in others.

……………………………………………………………

In addition to the All-Star Game, Li Hao also received invitations to the Slam Dunk Contest and the Three-Point Shot Contest, Li Hao will definitely not participate in the Slam Dunk Contest, although his physical fitness is better than that of LaVine and Gordon, but it is really difficult to win these two.

It is no exaggeration to say that this year's slam dunk contest can definitely be called the strongest in history, but because of this, the benefits are also very large, but you have to win this benefit.

Seriously, if he wants to win LaVine and Gordon, Li Hao can only use a whirlwind dunk without regrets.

But the key is that Li Hao is not this trick, although Li Hao's physical talent can beat all basketball players, but even so, he is still a normal human being.

And Kang Long does not regret the whirlwind slam dunk is obviously anti-human.

Li Hao did not participate in the slam dunk contest, but he was willing to participate in the three-point contest, which is also Li Hao's most confident at present, and participating in the three-point contest is also a compromise with the league, no, more precisely, it is an exchange.

Because Li Hao definitely withdrew from the Rookie Challenge, to be honest, Li Hao went to participate in the Rookie Challenge to be a bit of a bully, although Li Hao originally liked to bully rookies.

The Rookie Challenge is an opportunity for rookies to show themselves, and Li Hao is a bit of a waste of this place to go to the Rookie Challenge now, rather than wasting it on himself, it is better to give other rookies a chance.

Besides, Li Hao has already won the honor of the Rookie Challenge, and last season Li Hao not only led the international rookie team to defeat the American rookie team, but also won the rookie MVP.

So this year's Li Hao will still participate in two events, the first is naturally the All-Star Game, and this All-Star Game Li Hao has another task, which is to help Kobe Bryant win another All-Star MVP.

The second is the three-point competition, Li Hao and the Splash Brothers participated together, this picture is looking forward to it.

Li Hao exploded as soon as he encountered the Rockets before, but in fact, Li Hao will also have an excellent performance against the Warriors, especially this season, when Li Hao used a record-breaking 66 points to end the Warriors' 15-game winning streak in the first meeting.

So far in the regular season, the Warriors have been recognized as strong by the whole league, as the Warriors have only lost four games so far.

Then there was the third meeting between the two teams, Li Hao and Curry staged a three-point battle, and that game was definitely one of the best games of the season, with the two making 9 and 8 three-pointers respectively, accounting for more than half of the team's three-point shots.

In the end, even though Li Hao broke the record of 13 three-pointers, this 13 three-pointers in a single game broke the single-game three-point record shared by Curry, Kobe Bryant and Marshall.

So after Li Hao agreed to participate in the three-point competition, the league immediately started the publicity mode.

Li Hao vs Splash Brothers.

Isn't this wave of topics and attention directly full?

This year's slam dunk contest is enough to go down in history, and it can even be said to be the most classic, but before the slam dunk contest really starts, the three-point contest between Li Hao and the Splash Brothers is the most concerning.
