Even the King of Reversals couldn't withstand this wave. After Li Hao hit a LOGO three-pointer, Clippers head coach Doc Rivers called a timeout.
Putting aside everything else, Li Hao's fiery touch must be cut off first. In the game between the Lakers and the Rockets, Li Hao killed the Rockets by force.
With these three-pointers, Li Hao once again became the most handsome boy in the game. He not only enjoyed the MVP cheers from the audience, but also the warm embrace of his teammates.
Well, Li Hao actually doesn't want the warm hugs from his teammates. Compared with a group of stinky men, Li Hao would rather his girlfriend hug him, but this is obviously unrealistic.
……………………………………………..
There are no problems with the Lakers' tactics, so there is no need to make any adjustments. The Clippers must make adjustments, which was proved when the game restarted.
Li Hao was still responsible for defending Paul, but when the Lakers attacked, the person standing in front of Li Hao became Redick, and the veteran blocked Jeremy Lin.
Looking at Redick in front of him, Li Hao didn't think he could stop him. With an unlucky move, he opened his position and shot decisively.
when--
Missing, Li Hao's three-pointer landed on the basket and bounced out.
"Grass" Li Hao knew that his fiery touch was gone. Although Rivers is known as the king of reverses, he is still a championship coach and the top coach in the NBA.
"Rivers' timeout interrupted Li's fiery shooting touch." The fans were probably the most disappointed that Li Hao failed to continue his fiery shooting touch.
Although Li Hao has lost his fiery touch, this does not mean that Li Hao is useless. Not to mention that he restricts Paul on the defensive end, he can still contribute to the team on offense.
Redick could not lock down Li Hao. In the next offense, Li Hao frequently used his breakthroughs to create opportunities for his teammates, successively providing assists to Kobe Bryant, Jordan Hill, and Jeremy Lin.
While delivering assists, Li Hao also took a shot himself, but his touch was frighteningly cold, and both a mid-range and a close layup failed.
However, even if Li Hao felt cold, the Lakers still expanded their lead. Kobe, Jordan Hill, and Jeremy Lin scored frequently in the following time, and the Clippers' offense almost entirely relied on Griffin.
When the main force was replaced, Griffin made 4 of 7 shots and 5 of 6 free throws, contributing 13 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, while Paul had 0 points and 2 assists.
From Paul's performance, we can see Li Hao's defensive success in this quarter. When Paul started to talk trash to Li Hao, Li Hao kept harassing him with words, which also made Paul tireless.
During the game, he was suppressed by Li Hao and couldn't win the trash talk. Paul, whose mentality collapsed, almost started fighting with Li Hao. Thanks to Kobe, who was beside the two of them, he caught Paul immediately.
"Kobe, if you're a brother, you're going to stop me. I'm going to teach that damn rookie a lesson," Paul shouted when Kobe stopped him.
"It's my brother that stopped you," Kobe said.
"What do you mean, you think I can't beat that rookie? Fighting isn't about head-to-head competition," Paul said dissatisfied.
"A few months ago, Li easily killed more than a dozen people by himself. The person who was beaten told me this personally." The two waves added up to more than a dozen people, which is a correct number.
"Let me go" Paul stopped moving for a moment.
"Huh?" Kobe looked down at Paul.
"I think players still have to use skills to determine the outcome." After saying this, Paul retreated.
Looking at Paul retreating, Li Hao's expression suddenly showed a trace of disappointment. No, as a serious basketball player, Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Li, go on, as long as we get rid of Chris, we will win this game." After persuading Paul to leave, Kobe immediately told Li Hao to increase his efforts.
Fortunately, Paul had already retreated at this time, otherwise he would have broken off relations with Kobe.
Thanks to Li Hao's outstanding performance, the Lakers not only completed the lead at the end of the third quarter, but also led the Clippers by 14 points.
86:100.
…………………………………………..
However, this 14-point lead did not last long. Not long after the start of the fourth quarter, Crawford frequently used his coquettish breakthroughs to rush into the Lakers' interior.
Without Li Hao, Crawford showed his style as a super sixth man, almost getting everything he asked for offensively.
In less than three minutes, the 14-point gap quickly narrowed to 5 points.
After the substitution, Scott looked at Li Hao with affectionate eyes.
"Heh~~Head coach" Li Hao was very disdainful in his heart, but his face showed that a soldier would die for his confidant.
"Coach, I can." The Lakers made substitutions, and Li Hao replaced Price.
Li Hao's appearance immediately curbed the Clippers' counterattack. At the same time, Li Hao also helped the team offensively, providing assists to Sacre and Davis through pick-and-rolls, breaking the Lakers' scoring drought.
At the same time, Li Hao's touch also recovered slightly, and he made one of two shots, helping the Lakers bring the point difference back to 10 points. 98:108
When the point difference returned to double digits, Rivers replaced the main players, but Crawford was left on the court, so the Clippers lineup became Paul, Crawford, Redick, Griffin, DeAndre Jordan.
The Lakers' side was the same as in the third quarter, with Li Hao, Jeremy Lin, Kobe Bryant, Boozer and Jordan Hill.
However, the return of the main players did not make the game better on the court. On the contrary, the return of the main players ushered in a blacksmithing feast for the two teams.
In the next four minutes, the two sides scored a total of 6 points, and the point difference only changed from 10 points to 8 points, but the next wave of offense belonged to the Lakers.
At the critical moment, Li Hao's key shooter badge started to activate, but he had no chance to take action because Kobe took over the ball.
This is very Kobe. Although Kobe is willing to give Li Hao the right to take action, when the critical moment comes, Kobe will still do it himself.
In this regard, Li Hao had no intention of fighting for it. Let's not talk about whether it was a robbery or not. Kobe's care and help during this period alone could not make Li Hao do such a stupid thing.
Kobe Bryant had only two years to play. The moment he was drafted by the Lakers, Li Hao made plans to be Kobe Bryant's little brother for two years. Besides, Li Hao does need some time to practice.
At the critical moment, Kobe did not disappoint those who supported him. He scored in two consecutive attacks. After scoring 4 points in a row, Kobe sent an assist.
With Kobe's stable output, the Lakers maintained the point difference by 10 points. When there was only one minute left in the game, Rivers replaced the main players and gave up.
After Rivers replaced the main players, Scott naturally could not continue to keep the main players on the court. It has to be said that compared with football, the basketball derby lacks the smell of gunpowder.
At 112:120, the Lakers won the Los Angeles civil war with an 8-point advantage.
Kobe played 35 minutes, making 7 of 15 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, and 6 of 9 free throws. He scored 21 points, 7 assists, and 4 rebounds.
Li Hao played 30 minutes, making 10 of 18 shots, 5 of 9 three-pointers, and 1 of 1 free throws. He scored 26 points, 9 assists, 7 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 1 steal.
In addition to Li Hao and Kobe Bryant who scored 57 points together, the Lakers also had four players who scored in double figures, namely Jordan Hill, Jeremy Lin, Davis and Sacre.
For the Clippers, Griffin scored 39 points, Paul 12 points, 10 assists, DeAndre Jordan 11 points, 13 rebounds, and Crawford 20 points.
