Li Hao did not experience the feeling of being unable to defeat four hands with two fists with the Warriors, but he experienced it with the Bulls. Rose, Butler, Gasol, there is always someone on the Bulls side who can stand up.
As for the Lakers, the only one who can stand out is Li Hao. The few players who performed well in the last game were just accidents in the final analysis, otherwise the Lakers' record would not be so bad.
"At the end of the first half, the Bulls always maintained a double-digit advantage." When Li Hao was replaced in the first quarter, the two sides were tied at 18:18. However, after Li Hao was taken off the field, the difference between the two sides quickly widened to double digits. .
Not long after the start of the second quarter, the Bulls narrowed the point difference to 16 points. Then Scott replaced Li Hao. As soon as Li Hao came on the stage, he stabilized the situation with a three-pointer and then widened the point difference with a 2+1. Back to 10 points.
One minute later, Li Hao stole the ball from Gibson and assisted his teammate, and the point difference became single digits. Thibodeau immediately replaced the main player. After that, the point difference between the two sides returned to 10 points, and the point difference has been maintained.
…………………………………………..
Rose is no longer at his peak. The damage caused to Rose by consecutive serious injuries in the past three years is immeasurable, but even so, Li Hao found that he still couldn't stop Rose's breakthrough.
This made Li Hao couldn't help but think, how strong is Rose without the serious injuries in recent years?
On defense, Li Hao has to defend Rose, and on offense, Li Hao also faces the Bulls' toughest man, Jimmy Butler. Two months have passed, and Li Hao's strength has been recognized by NBA teams.
It’s a battle of strength against strength, and a clash of muscles against muscles.
If Rose is a talented player, then Butler is a hard-working player. Butler played in college for four years before entering the NBA. Usually, players of this type do not achieve very high achievements in the NBA.
Of course, there are exceptions for certain guys, who already have the ability to play in the NBA as a freshman.
But Butler relied on his own efforts to step onto the road of superstar step by step, even reaching the level of super giant.
Butler is somewhat similar to Leonard in the same class. Both relied on defense to gain a foothold on the team before slowly developing their offensive abilities.
By the way, the 11th class is also full of talents, including Irving, Thompson, Valanciunas, Kemba Walker, Leonard, Butler, Vucevic, Morris brothers, etc.
The defense competed with Rose, and the offense competed with Butler. In this way, Li Hao was able to deliver 20 points, 4 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block in the first half.
Throughout the first half, Li Hao really tried his best and played for 18 minutes, but even so, it could not change the fact that the Lakers were 10 points behind, and the situation did not improve even in the second half.
Breaking through, distributing the ball, or forcing a layup under the double-teaming of Noah and Gasol, Li Hao did everything he could, but the point difference on the court never narrowed.
When Li Hao was substituted, the difference between the two sides immediately widened. Neither Nick Young nor Jeremy Lin were in good condition in today's game. Nick Young was a little uncomfortable before the game, as if he had a recurrence of an old injury.
As long as you play in the NBA for a few years, it is not normal to have injuries. This is true for a player as physically strong as James, who has a historical level.
At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers were already nearly 20 points behind the Bulls. Even if Li Hao scored 6 points in a row in the fourth quarter and broke his personal scoring record, he could not help the Lakers recover from the decline.
In the end, the Lakers lost the game 98:118. Li Hao played 38 minutes, made 14 of 26 shots, 4 of 10 three-pointers, and 6 of 8 free throws. He scored 38 points, 6 assists, 10 rebounds, 3 Steals, 2 blocks.
………………………………………………………………..
26 shots set a record for Li Hao's most shots this season. At the same time, 38 points was also the highest score. Unfortunately, neither of these records brought victory to the Lakers.
The script that Li Hao had in mind in the last game was completely realized in this game. Facing Rose, Butler and Gasol, Li Hao was indeed outnumbered and unable to survive alone.
Gasol scored 25 points in this game, the highest score of the Bulls team, followed by Butler with 22 points, the second highest score on the team, and Rose's 20 points in third, and Rose's 20 points were still defended by Li Hao I got it from the bottom, and the gold content is very high.
"Derek, let's train together after the season." The lost Li Hao was ready to find his way back from the sidelines, which was to steal Rose's skills.
"Man, it's only one-third of the regular season." Rose looked at Li Hao speechlessly.
Although the two met for the first time today, as a player, sometimes you don't need to speak with your mouth. After a game, the two felt like they cherished each other.
"What does it matter?" Li Hao wanted to become stronger, and he was very urgent.
After these few months of hard work and exploration, Li Hao has figured out a lot of things. Attributes can indeed directly improve strength, but in addition to using attributes, you can also become stronger through your own training.
For example, various breakthrough techniques, Crawford's back-up jump step, crossover, probing step, triple threat, Sam Goad, etc.
So in addition to Rose, Crawford is also Li Hao's target, but this matter needs to be done slowly. As Rose said, only one-third of the regular season has passed.
He and Rose were sympathetic to each other, and there were sparks and anger between him and Butler, but this is normal. The collision between two muscular men must be full of passion.
Regardless of Li Hao's handsome appearance, O's girls can't put it down because of his muscular tendons. As for Butler, he is definitely the most vicious and ruthless player trained by the NBA.
The collision between the two in the game was very fierce. It can even be said that this game was the most intense game that Li Hao played in the NBA. At the end of the game, Li Hao was sore all over and his body was bruised and bruised.
On the other side, Butler couldn't see it because he was black, but in fact he was even worse than Li Hao. When he returned to the locker room, Butler lay flat on his back and even needed help from his teammates at one point.
But in such a fierce confrontation, Butler still failed to guard Li Hao. However, this is not because Butler's defensive ability is not good, but because Li Hao's own condition and feel are too good.
When a player's own condition and feel are good, it is useless no matter how hard the defensive player is in place. This situation is very common in the NBA and is also very mysterious.

"You have done well enough," the assistant coach said after taking a photo of Li Hao's shoulder.
For some reason, Li Hao didn't feel comforted at all when he heard this, and the sense of loss in this defeat was stronger than any previous defeat.
"Is it because this is the first time I lost a game strictly as a core player?" This was Li Hao's guess.
Because of Kobe's relationship, Li Hao subconsciously never regarded himself as the boss and core of the Lakers, so Li Hao would be disappointed if he lost the game, but not that intensely.
