"Ah" Li Hao roared as he landed and patted his chest.
"Damn, you're committing murder." Kobe rushed over with excitement on his face, while from the bench on the sidelines, Sakishi had already rushed out waving a towel. Seeing Sakishi's passionate celebration, Lakers fans recognized it.
"Elizabeth, are you and Li really just friends?" Taylor Swift kept staring at Li Hao.
At this time, Omei didn't know how to answer. She knew more about Taylor Swift than the United States.
………………………………
Li Hao's appearance not only helped the Lakers narrow the point difference to 2 points, but also boosted the momentum of the Lakers even though he missed the free throw. Upon seeing this, Rockets coach McHale immediately made adjustments. He first used Tarik Blake and Ja Sentry replaced Jones and Beverley, who had just been deducted, and then asked Ariza to defend Li Hao.
Compared with Kobe, Li Hao seems to be more threatening, and the best defender in the Rockets lineup is undoubtedly Ariza, one of the heroes of the Lakers' championship.
Ariza's defense can indeed bring some pressure to Li Hao, but it is impossible to completely lock Li Hao. Don't forget that Li Hao plays the No. 1 position.
In the next period of time, Li Hao began to pass the ball to his teammates. This was also Li Hao's strategy. Li Hao was not a point guard in the traditional sense. In Li Hao's own personal understanding, how could he attract people if he did not show his offensive ability? Opponent defense and double teaming.
Li Hao first sent an assist to Kobe, and then played a perfect pick-and-roll with Boozer. Boozer finally scored his first goal since the start of the game.
In addition to making contributions on offense, Li Hao also performed on defense. Li Hao took the initiative to guard James Harden. Li Hao has been coveting Harden for a long time.
"Big Beard, I am your fan" Li Hao said this to a player again.
"I can't tell you are my fan" Harden said. Who are you kidding?
After Li Hao and his teammates switched defenses, Harden obviously felt that it became more difficult for him to attack. Although there was a gap in performance between the two, Harden clearly felt that he was not as good as the guy in front of him in terms of physical confrontation.
But who Harden is, he had an epiphany after being knocked down with an elbow by someone who loved world peace.
"Ah~~~" Harden charged at Li Hao without hesitation, then stepped back, and then let out a scream from his mouth.
"Damn it, the young hero is so good at acting." Looking at Harden who screamed and fell backwards, Li Hao was speechless.
Li Hao got the first foul of the game, Harden got two free throws again, and then made both free throws.
During Harden's free throw period, the Rockets coach replaced Howard. Unlike Harden's active fouling, Howard passively went to the free throw line in this game and then missed all four free throws.
After Harden made two free throws, Li Hao returned one. Li Hao tried to make a strong breakthrough, then stopped and pulled back, kicked his feet back, and shot a fadeaway jumper. Li Hao scored his 7th point of the game.
"Do you want to consider retiring directly and going to Hollywood?" Then Li Hao stood in front of Harden again.
"This is a good idea, but it will take at least ten years." Harden said with a ground-breaking pass and sent the basketball to Papanikolaou under the basket. The latter passed the basketball inside and outside to the three-point line. Jason Terry outside.
brush--
Jason Terry hit a three-pointer.
After Jason Terry hit this three-pointer, the score reached 20:25, and the Rockets still led by 5 points.
The Lakers wanted to return a three-pointer, but the old blacksmith and the young blacksmith in Los Angeles struck iron one after another. While the two blacksmiths were focusing on their jobs, Jason Terry threw a second three-pointer, and the Rockets widened the point difference to 8 points.
Seeing that the score increased to 8 points, the Rockets replaced Harden, and Scott also made a rotation. Thackeray replaced Jordan Hill, Randall replaced Boozer, and Henry replaced Wesley. Johnson and Ellington replaced Kobe.
Ariza was not replaced because of his task of defending Li Hao, but it is basically impossible for Ariza alone to completely lock Li Hao.
With the cooperation of Thackeray and Randall, the Lakers started the point-chasing mode. Li Hao provided assists to the two of them, and then used a behind-the-back shot to score two points.
At the end of the first quarter, Li Hao made 4 of 6 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and sent 4 assists and grabbed 3 rebounds. His performance was still all-around.
With Li Hao's all-around performance, the Lakers trailed the Rockets by only 4 points at the end of the first quarter, 26:30.
Judging from his performance in the first quarter alone, Li Hao was almost perfect. He had a long-distance three-pointer that made people cry out in cold sweat, a passionate explosive dunk, and a picturesque fadeaway that Lakers fans are familiar with.
In addition, Li Hao sent 4 assists and defended Harden alone. Although he was unsuccessful, his attitude was already there. Don't forget, this was Li Hao's career debut.
"Li's performance doesn't show that this is his first game." Kenny Smith expressed his affirmation of Li Hao in the TNT commentary box.
Most rookies were afraid to take the ball in their first game, but Li Hao actually came up and threw a three-pointer, and his subsequent performance was even more perfect.
"Hey, Kenny, did you forget that you are also part of the bet?" Barkley admitted in his heart, but did not show any weakness.
"So Charles, what do you think of Li's performance?" O'Neill asked immediately.
"Okay, I admit, this little guy has performed well so far." With Li Hao's performance, Barkley couldn't be more aggressive.
"But this is only the first quarter, the real test is yet to come," Barkley said immediately.
"Indeed, let's wait and see," Kenny Smith said with some anticipation.
…………………………………………
"Haozi is a bit fierce." In distant China, Li Hao's perfect performance in the first quarter also aroused heated discussion.
"Did you call me Haozi? Brother Ritian." The Internet was quite lively.
The advantage of the Internet over TV is that TV can only communicate with the people around you, but the Internet can communicate with everyone. This is why many people will only watch broadcasts online in the future.
In fact, the topics discussed by Eastern and Western fans are similar. They all say that Li Hao's performance is not like a rookie at all, but the mentality of the two sides during the discussion is somewhat different.
The West only purely discusses Li Hao's performance, while Chinese fans will be excited, happy, and even proud of Li Hao's outstanding performance.
"I hope Brother Ritian can continue Ritian's performance in the future." The outstanding performance in the first quarter also gave fans more expectations for the second quarter.
"Do you think Brother Ritian will set any records?" someone asked.
"What record? Scores, assists or double-double?" In the following period, some fans began to reveal various rookie debut records.
Seeing these data, some fans who were still expecting something suddenly felt bad, but these discussions quickly disappeared because Li Hao had already led the Qian players back to the stadium.
The interval between the first and second quarters and the third and fourth quarters of a basketball game is only 130 seconds, and the halftime is 15 minutes.
