The Lakers played a tough game in this game. Davis, the starting five, only scored 4 points, Wesley Johnson scored 7 points, and Jordan Hill barely reached double figures with 11 points.
Looking at the performance of the three, we know that the Lakers' entire starting lineup relied on Li Hao and Kobe. In order to win this game, Li Hao and Kobe refreshed their playing time this season.
The 36-year-old Kobe played 44 minutes. A normal NBA regular season game lasts only 48 minutes, which means Kobe only rested for 4 minutes in this game.
The oldest player in the game played the longest time, while the youngest player in the game played the second most time, 43 minutes. Li Hao played 1 minute less than Kobe.
With Li Hao and Kobe Bryant's double 40+ time, the Lakers won the game with difficulty, 101:108. During the period, the two teams alternated the lead several times, and the winner was not decided until the last moment.
With one minute left in the game, Li Hao hit his fourth three-pointer. This three-pointer helped the Lakers lead the Nuggets by four points. Then the Nuggets failed to make a three-pointer and started foul tactics.
The Lakers' foul tactics were still executed by Kobe. After playing for 43 minutes, Kobe's physical fitness was running low, so much so that he missed a free throw at a critical moment.
The Nuggets, who were 5 points behind, could only use three-point shooting tactics again, but they were still defended by the Lakers. Kobe made the last two free throws steadily, and the game completely lost suspense.
In fact, Kobe was in average shape in this game. He played 44 minutes and made 10 of 24 shots, 0 of 6 three-pointers, and 7 of 10 free throws. He scored 27 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists.
Li Hao played 43 minutes, making 9 of 16 shots, 4 of 9 three-pointers, 4 of 6 free throws, 26 points, 7 assists, 10 rebounds, 1 block, and 2 steals.
If his teammates can work harder in the game, then Li Hao can get a triple-double. In this game, Li Hao passed a lot of open balls to Wesley Johnson and Davis, but these two people seemed to be possessed by evil spirits today. The same, no matter how many shots he made, he didn't score.
Wesley Johnson made 3 of 10 shots, Davis made 1 of 7 shots, Jordan Hill made 2 of 8 shots, and coupled with Nick Young's 2 of 12 shots, these four were simply committing a crime.
But no matter what, the Lakers still won this game at home, making a good start for the next home game.
…………………………………………..
As the only two contributors to the win in this game, Li Hao was naturally the last one to pay attention to. No, from the first game of the regular season, Li Hao was the Lakers' second best player after Kobe Bryant. To some extent, Li Hao was even more popular than Kobe Bryant. Kobe is taller.
Kobe has been with the Lakers for too long, and since Kobe and Vanessa got back together, he has begun to recuperate, so there has been no gossip outside the court.
And Li Hao is a newcomer. He has explosive performance as a rookie. Plus he has a girlfriend from Hollywood, so the popularity is naturally high. Furthermore, the newcomer has too much worth reporting.
Let’s talk about today’s post-match interview. In addition to Li Hao’s outstanding performance as always, everyone’s topic was Li Hao’s new shoes. You know, Li Hao was wearing Nike shoes in front of him.
"I'm not a spokesperson for Nike." Li Hao replied to reporters that he didn't wear Nike shoes.
"Nike is not pursuing you." The whole world knows that Nike is pursuing Li Hao.
"So what, I didn't sign a contract with Nike." Nike has become the dominant player in the basketball world, and it is precisely because of this that Nike has become more and more arrogant.
"Li, you have to know that Nike is the best when it comes to sneakers," a reporter reminded.
"Maybe" Li Hao was noncommittal.
"Then will you endorse Anta?" Anta officially became the official partner of the NBA this year, so everyone present still knows this brand.
"I can't say this yet. I'll give you a reply when it's really confirmed." It's impossible to answer before the contract is signed.
But Li Hao wearing ANTA sneakers to play in the game was already a signal, so for a period of time after the game, Holtz received frequent calls from major stadium manufacturers.
Price increases are inevitable, but no matter how much they increase prices, it will be useless, because they certainly cannot be like Anta. Because major sneaker manufacturers have once again raised their quotations, Anta has accelerated contract negotiations.
But no matter how fast it is accelerated, it will still take some time, and Holtz basically keeps on calling once a day to report to Li Hao on the progress of the contract negotiations.

Western Conference Player of the Week.
The day after the Lakers defeated the Nuggets, the league announced the best player in the Eastern and Western Conferences for the latest week. The Eastern Conference is Lou Williams, who plays for the Hawks. In the past week, Williams averaged 23.7 points per game.
In the West, it is Li Hao. The Lakers have recorded three wins and one loss in the past week. Li Hao averaged 26.7 points, 6 assists, 7.5 rebounds, 1 block, and 0.75 steals per game.
This Player of the Week is not only the first Player of the Week for this rookie class, but also the first Player of the Week for the Lakers. It is also the first Player of the Week for the Lakers in the past two years since Kobe Bryant.
The last time the Lakers won the award was Kobe Bryant, and that award was before Kobe tore his Achilles tendon.
After the league announced the Player of the Week, Li Hao immediately received nearly two dozen messages of congratulations. Only one month into the new season, Li Hao already had many more people in his phone book, and these people had never dared to think of them before. .
Of course, the Lakers' official website also sent blessings to Li Hao as soon as possible. From Li Hao's treatment in the team, we can know that the Lakers are really cultivating Li Hao as the future core.
During this period, not only did the team president call Li Hao, but Kupchak also cared about Li Hao. Even the president's sister, Jenny Buss, who would successfully seize power in the future, often greeted Li Hao with greetings.
However, Li Hao stayed away from this future boss. He had no choice but to do so. This old aunt was so famous that even at this age, she still showed no signs of restraint.
The cross-racial appearance coupled with the young and strong body is what the old aunt loves most. Little girls love older uncles, and old aunts love strong young men.
Old Aunt Jenny often has scandals with Lakers players, so Li Hao doesn't want to have too much entanglement with Aunt Jenny. Playing is fine, but Li Hao will never do anything like selling his virginity, unless Aunt Jenny can return to 18. When you are old.
With everyone's blessings and the joy of being the best of the week, the Lakers face the challenge of the Grizzlies at home, and this time, the Lakers want to avenge the previous one.
……………………………………………………
106:98.
Well, this is called being abused instead of getting revenge. Although Boozer is back, the Lakers' inside line still cannot withstand the impact of the Grizzlies' black and white.
Li Hao's outside touch was average, and coupled with teacher Tony's entanglement, Li Hao's score fell below 20 again. Kobe did have a 20+ performance, but it was only 2 more points.
5 of 14 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, 16 points, 5 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals, and 3 blocks.
Li Hao didn't score many points, but he still made a lot of contributions in defense. Unfortunately, there were too many holes inside, and it was useless no matter how good Li Hao's outside defense was.
