"Kobe, won't you comfort me?" In the home team's locker room at Staples Arena, Li Hao and Kobe came out of the shower together.
"Didn't you say you are strong?" Kobe glared at Li Hao.
"No matter how strong I am, I'm just a rookie." At this time, the Lakers have finished the first week of the devil's schedule, and the loss to the Grizzlies is just the beginning of this losing journey.
In the next few days, the Lakers led by Li Hao and Kobe Bryant lost to the Pelicans, Spurs and Warriors, ushering in the longest losing streak of the new season, four consecutive losses.
Among the four lost games, except for the game against the Warriors, several other games were possible to win, and the points difference at the end of the game was not big.
Lost to the Grizzlies 110:104.
Lost to the Pelicans 114:109.
Lost to the Spurs 95:86.
Lost to the Warriors 136:120.
In these four games, Li Hao averaged about 15 shots per game. In the game with the Pelicans, Li Hao made 8 of 15 shots, 3 of 7 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 21 points, 6 assists, 6 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 block.
This game with the Spurs had the lowest shooting percentage, with 3 of 10 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 13 points, 5 assists, and 5 rebounds.
Several interesting things happened in the game against the Spurs. Li Hao got his wish and performed a windmill dunk in front of Duncan, and even talked trash to Duncan.
"How does my big windmill compare with your big windmill?" Li Hao completed the dunk just in time to meet Duncan who was chasing him.
"It's not bad. Let's compare notes next time we have a chance." Lao Mensao is Lao Mensao. Old Dengtou's answer almost flashed Li Hao's extraordinary waist.
Don't think that Duncan doesn't talk trash. It's just that compared to other people's rudeness, Duncan's trash talk is more coquettish and mean.
That phrase, "The future is your nightmare" is James' nightmare.
During the game, Duncan also said this to Li Hao: "You almost succeeded."
In a wave of offense, Li Hao struggled to break through Leonard's players and rushed into the penalty area, but under Duncan's defense, the final shot still missed.
Li Hao was naturally not to be outdone. Although Leonard was difficult to deal with, he still found an opportunity to break into the penalty area and then used a divine fadeaway to complete the score.
"You almost guarded me." Li Hao regained his face verbally, but there was no hope for the game.
…………………………………………….
Leonard kept an eye on Li Hao throughout the game, and Li Hao finally felt the strength of the league's No. 1 outside defense. This was evident from Li Hao's hits and shots throughout the game.
10 shots was the fewest Li Hao had ever taken in a game since he entered the league, and his shooting percentage was very low. If it weren't for the 90% ball control and the Hall of Fame Ball Control Master badge, Li Hao felt that he would not be able to break through Leonard's defense.
Li Hao was almost locked up by Leonard, but it also involved most of Leonard's experience. At the end of the whole game, Leonard only scored 12 points, 1 point less than Li Hao.
Although Li Hao had a few flirtations with Duncan in this game, he spent most of the time competing with Leonard. Li Hao's defensive ability is definitely not comparable to Leonard's now.
But Leonard's offensive ability at this time is not necessarily that good. It took Leonard several seasons to fully develop his offensive ability with the ball, so Leonard is not complete at this time.
Facing Li Hao, Leonard has the advantage of height and wingspan, but this does not mean that Li Hao does not have his own advantages, such as physical fitness. Li Hao wants Leonard to be outstanding.
Besides, who doesn't seem to be surrounded by death yet, so even if Leonard has an advantage, he can't turn this advantage into a grand event. The Spurs can win mainly because of their overall performance and the poor performance of other Lakers.
Kobe made 1 of 14 shots in the game. The feast was deafening, and he only scored 9 points by relying on free throws.
So Li Hao's 13 points was already a very good performance. Anyway, Popovich praised Li Hao after the game as an incredible rookie.
Li Hao was not happy at all about Popovich's praise. This bad old man was very bad.
Oh, by the way, Li Hao said that classic saying to Duncan: I am your fan.
I don’t know if it was because of these words, but Duncan actually came over to comfort Li Hao after the game.
Seeing Duncan walking towards him with a smile on his face, Li Hao suddenly felt something bad, and the next development was just as Li Hao thought. Old Dengtou stretched his bald demon into his mind.
Fortunately, Li Hao had already foreseen what was happening, and turned around in time to avoid Duncan's bald hands, and then a strange aura arose between the two.
Their eyes met, and there seemed to be a twinkle in each other's eyes.
So Duncan stretched out his hand for Li Hao's throw for the second time, but this time Li Hao did not turn his head, but put his hands on top of his head, blocking Duncan's bald hand again.
Li Hao, who resisted the bald hand for the second time, decisively ran away from Duncan. Looking at Li Hao who disappeared, Duncan couldn't help but look at his own hand.
"We must succeed next time" Duncan said silently in his heart.
The two people's strange behavior happened to be photographed by the media on the sidelines. The photos were successfully published the next day, and then some reporters asked about the situation at that time.
"I wanted to touch Li's head to encourage him, but he doesn't seem to like having his head touched," Duncan said with a depressed face in front of the reporters who were asking for help.
"Why are you hiding? I don't want to become like Manu," Li Hao said.
The media was shocked by Li Hao's unique angle. Then they thought of Ginobili's long flowing hair and looked at his current appearance. The former Pampas eagle is heading towards the vulture, and he is still moving forward.
Then the reporter specifically asked Ginobili himself, and then Ginobili touched his thinning hair seriously: "I said why I feel that my hair is getting less and less. It turns out that it is Tim's fault." Yes, it seems I will have to wear a hat when playing games in the future."
In this regard, Duncan could only say helplessly that Ginobili's baldness was entirely caused by his own playing style. Unfortunately, no matter how hard Duncan explained it at this time, it was useless.
From then on, Duncan got a nickname, "Bald Hand", and this nickname spread throughout the league at an extremely fast speed. Even many players who were touched by Duncan couldn't help but said that they became bald because of being raped. Duncan.
"I feel like my hair has become less after the finals a few months ago. It turns out it's because of Tim." Even James couldn't help but come over and rub it.
"Next time I will definitely rip you off." After Duncan's title of "bald hand" spread throughout the league, Li Hao received a "threatening" text message from an unknown number.
You don't need to think about it to know who sent this text message. In fact, before Li Hao could reply to inquire about this unfamiliar number, a second message was sent.
The owner of the phone number is none other than 2-time regular season MVP, 5-time NBA champion, 3-time NBA Finals FMVP, the league’s number one power forward, and the owner of the bald hand, Tim Duncan.
