As a boyfriend, it would be a dereliction of duty for a girlfriend not to be able to celebrate her birthday by her side, even if Li Hao gave her a birthday gift worth six figures.

Accompanied by Holtz, Li Hao came to a famous luxury store, where he finally fell in love with a bracelet and a necklace, and chose a necklace at the suggestion of Holtz.

The gift Li Hao definitely couldn't hand over to Jin Xuexuan, and there were still a few days before Jin Xuexuan's birthday, so Li Hao's attention quickly shifted to the game.

……………………………………………..

After five consecutive wins, the day after buying gifts, the Lakers welcomed the Toronto Mongols at home, and then the two teams staged a battle at the Staples Center.

In this game, the Menglong duo was in excellent condition, scoring 63 points together, and the two scored more points than the whole team, including DeRozan 31 points, Gungun Lowry 32 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists.

And Lowry's 32 points are very high, because a large part of them were won in the face of Li Hao's defense, I have to say that the small steel cannon at its peak is indeed the top No. 1 position in the league.

And as the top No. 1 position in the league, Li Hao naturally can't show weakness, no, it should be said that if there is no Li Hao, the two sides will not be able to attack in this game.

Stimulated by Menglong's dual core, Li Hao played an extremely efficient game, shooting 20 of 24, 9 of 11 three-pointers, and 8 of 8 free throws, scoring 57 points, 12 assists, 8 rebounds, 3 steals, and 2 blocks.

The two sides fought until the last minute to decide the winner, with 24 seconds left in the game, the two sides tied 119, the Lakers possessed the ball, and Carroll immediately rushed up when Li Hao crossed the half court with the ball.

Seeing this, Wade immediately came over to cover Li Hao, and then Li Hao crossed Carroll to the three-point line, and Menglong also reacted at the first time, DeRozan and Lowry rushed to Li Hao together.

When these two people rushed over, the person who was originally opposite them was naturally empty, but even so, Li Hao didn't have any intention of passing.

Normally, passing to an open teammate at this time is the right and reasonable choice, but this is the NBA, a place of miracles.

What is a miracle, turning the unreasonable into reasonable, and turning the impossible into possible.

Kicks, arms, shots.

I saw that Li Hao completely ignored De Rosso and Lowry who rushed in front of him.

Brush –

The basketball draws a perfect parabola hollow into the net.

With Li Hao's ninth three-pointer, the Lakers took the lead, but Menglong did not give up, and after the timeout, Menglong also wanted to shoot three points, but under the defense of the Lakers, Lowry did not get a chance in 5 of 7 shots in this three-point game, and finally could only be completed by De Rosso with a back and back.

The score became 121:122.

The ball returned to the Lakers, Menglong used foul tactics, and Li Hao made his fifth and sixth free throws of the game and hit both free throws.

Menglong called a timeout again, but this time Menglong did not score again, and Lowry still did not become Menglong's hero, and missed a three-point shot under Li Hao's defense.

And with Lowry's three-point miss, the game completely lost suspense, Menglong fouled again, Li Hao scored another 2 points, and the Lakers extended their advantage to 5 points.

121:126。

The Lakers won their first game of 2017.

………………………………………………..

The next day, the Lakers didn't play, but he couldn't go to South Korea to celebrate his girlfriend's birthday, which must have been a pity for Kim Seo-hyun, even though Li Hao gave a birthday gift worth nearly 300 million won.

After a day of not being able to spend his birthday with his girlfriend, the Lakers ushered in their fifth and final home court in a row after returning to Los Angeles, against the Grizzlies from Memphis.

This is the Grizzlies' last season of black and white, and the last glory of this Grizzlies team, after which it will enter a rebuild, and it will not find the core of the team until Morant's arrival.

Compared with the thrill of the last game with Menglong, this game with the Grizzlies seems to be much smoother, the Lakers have an advantage from the beginning of the game, and they have maintained this advantage since then.

This is also directly reflected in Li Hao's playing time, Li Hao played 43 minutes in the last game, and Li Hao only played 33 minutes in this game, which is ten minutes less.

Although Li Hao only played 33 minutes, his performance in these 33 minutes was not bad, and he was still the player with the most points on the court, shooting 12 of 22, 4 of 8 three-pointers, and 6 of 7 free throws, scoring 34 points, 13 assists, 7 rebounds, 2 steals, and 2 blocks.

Tony Allen, who is about to be 35 years old, can't prevent Li Hao at all, and it can almost be said that he wants what he wants, but this is normal, this is Li Hao's third year in the league, and compared to the beginning, Li Hao has long been different.

If Li Hao's curve has been extending upwards, then Tony Allen's curve has been extending downward.

In fact, the Grizzlies made the right choice to enter the rebuild, Randolph is 36 years old, Tony Allen is 35 points away, Gasol Jr. is 32 years old, and Conley is 29 years old.

102:116。

The Lakers snapped a five-game winning streak at home.

…………………………………………………

The Lakers don't have much time to rest after five straight wins, and they will fly to Portland to challenge the Trail Blazers a day later, and one of the rare things in the NBA is the dense schedule.

There is still a day of rest on the Lakers' side, and the Trail Blazers' side is a back-to-back, and before the game against the Lakers, the Trail Blazers first went to San Francisco to challenge the Warriors away.

But even so, the Lakers' game away from Portland is not easy to play, and the home game does have a bonus, which can also be known from the Lakers.

Moreover, the Lakers have more young players in the country, and one of the characteristics of young players is that their state is up and down, and Li Hao is obviously not among them.

Ups and downs? How could this kind of thing happen to Li Hao.

So the best performance in this game was Li Hao and several veterans in the team, and it was with Li Hao and several veterans that the Lakers won the final victory.

Li Hao scored 33 points steadily, Wade and Howard scored 30 points, Williams and Nick Young scored 32 points together on the bench, and the Lakers scored a total of 119 points in the whole game.

On the other side, the Trail Blazers scored a total of 112 points, and it can also be known from the scores of the two sides that the two teams played almost to the end of this game before the real winner was decided.

The combination of Lillard and McCollum was really strong on offense, and the two scored a total of 50 points in this game, and this was after Lillard had just recovered from injury and McCollum had scored 35 points on the Warriors' home court the day before.

If the Trail Blazers hadn't been back-to-back and Lillard had been out for a few games without injury, the Lakers might not have been able to win this game.

But that's if, the reality is that the Lakers are on a six-game winning streak after winning this game, and the Lakers will return to Los Angeles and have another back-to-back home game.
