After a day's rest, the Lakers welcomed the Suns at home again. This was the third meeting between the two teams in the regular season, and the first two meetings ended in defeat by the Lakers.
The same is true for this third game. Although Li Hao felt warmer and returned to normal in this game, it was not enough to bring the Lakers a victory.
In this game, the Suns asked P.J. Tucker to guard Li Hao for the whole game, but even so, Li Hao still made 10 of 20 shots, 4 of 7 three-pointers, and 6 of 8 free throws, scoring 30 points and 5 assists. , 7 rebounds, 1 block, and 2 steals.
The personal data is almost perfect, but the team still loses, so whose problem is it?
"Losing the game is not the responsibility of that person, it is all of us who did not do our best," Li Hao said regarding the three-game losing streak.
"Li, are you shirking your responsibility?" It's the same female reporter with a deep mind.
It is said that this female reporter handed Li Hao a small note with her phone number on it, but Li Hao did not contact her at all, and the note was thrown directly into the trash can.
"What responsibility should I shirk?" Li Hao asked.
"As a team leader, I cannot lead the team to victory," the female reporter said.
"Leader? Sorry, I'm just a rookie. Also, have you asked Kobe?" As long as Kobe is still with the Lakers, the Lakers will have only one leader.
In these few games when Kobe Bryant was resting, Li Hao did have unlimited firing rights, and he did carry the team on his shoulders. Although the effect was not very good, it does not mean that Li Hao is the leader of the Lakers.
Li Hao wanted to do it, but without Kobe retiring, Li Hao could only think about it even if he thought about it again.

"I've got good news for you. Things about your house are settled." On the way back, Kobe found Hao and said.
"So soon?" This surprised Li Hao. He thought the house might still be there for a long time.
"Of course, you don't want to see who is helping you." Originally, the man's house was not ready to be sold, but he changed his mind when he found out that Li Hao wanted to buy it, because the owner of the house was a loyal Laker. fan.
"This is not good, if~~~I mean if, I will not play for the Lakers in the future." One person, one city is always too fairy tale, and loyalty is often cheap.
"Don't worry, this is just a normal business transaction." Kobe understands Li Hao's concerns because he almost left the Lakers.
"By the way, that house is almost 100 square meters smaller than mine, about more than 1,300, and the price should be around 10 million." Kobe spent more than 9 million when he bought it in 2008. Six years later, the house price has It has increased a lot, so this ten million can be said to be a very favorable price.
"I have made an appointment with the other party to go see the house tomorrow," Kobe said.
…………………………………………………….
"Li, you are the most outstanding rookie I have ever seen." At ten o'clock the next morning, Li Hao and Omei appeared at Kobe's house, and then set off from Kobe's house.
The owner of the house is probably only in his early forties. According to Kobe's friends, this person works in investment banking. He started from scratch and is now worth five small goals. The small goals here are calculated in US dollars.
Although I am a native of Los Angeles, I have been living in New York because of my work. I bought this house for several years, but I only come back to live there for a few months every year.
With the owner's wealth, it wouldn't matter if he didn't live there all year round, so he never thought about buying it in the past few years. He always knew from Kobe's friends that Li Hao wanted to buy a house, so he took the initiative to give up his house.
This person is a friend of Kobe's friend, and the two have known each other since college, and their relationship is quite close, which is why they met this time.
Each high-end villa area with "the garage can park 6 cars" is different, but all the necessary facilities are actually there.
There is one underground floor, two floors above ground, a swimming pool, a sauna, and a recreation room. It has everything you need, and the bedrooms are on the second floor. There are six bedrooms in total including the master bedroom.
Under the leadership of the host Lawrence, the group visited the entire villa.
Coincidentally, the owner of the house happened to be back in Los Angeles to do some errands in the past two days, so he came over to show Li Hao around and get in touch with Li Hao in person.
Although Lawrence has not been in Los Angeles for a long time, he is still a Lakers season ticket holder. As long as time permits, he will definitely come to support, and Lawrence will be in the stands for the Lakers' opening game today.
Rather than sitting in the box, he prefers the stands closer to the court.
Lawrence was a little shocked by Li Hao's performance. He was born in 1970 and only had intuitive data on the performance of the ancient gods. It was completely different from what he saw on the spot.
It was Li Hao's wonderful performance that conquered Lawrence, which led to today's meeting.

"If Smith hadn't told you that you wanted to buy a house, I would never have sold it. So Li, you don't have to bear any burden. If you want it, I won't make you any money. If you don't like it, you can just go ahead and sell it." He said, "Shopping malls are full of intrigues, and investment banks are even more so. But when faced with the teams and players he likes, this successful businessman doesn't want to use the tricks of the shopping malls."
"To be honest, I quite like it." But after speaking, Li Hao looked at Aomei. It was obvious that Li Hao wanted Aomei to make a decision.
"I think it's pretty good too." Kobe chose this place because it has a good environment and is safe. In addition, it is located in a high position, so he can sit in the yard and enjoy the sunrise and sunset.
"I think we can settle this matter," Li Hao looked at Lawrence and said.
According to the market price, this house is about 13 to 4 million. Lawrence spent nearly 10 million to buy it, and this does not include a series of subsequent expenses such as decoration.
"Did Eric tell you about the price?" Eric is Kobe's friend, his full name is Eric Smith, and the full name of the owner of the house is John Lawrence.
"Ten million" Lawrence really had no intention of making money from Li Hao.
"Li, if you have difficulties, I can make some more concessions" Are there any automatic price reductions?
"No need," Li Hao refused. Ten million was already far lower than the market price. Li Hao would be a little embarrassed if it dropped any further. Besides, Li Hao was a little "afraid" of Lawrence being like this.
"I know you can definitely sign a big contract in the future." Everyone is smart, and Li Hao understood what Lawrence said.
"John, I'm very grateful for your kindness, but I still have 10 million. Have you forgotten? I signed an endorsement contract worth 100 million over ten years," Li Hao said.
"I forgot about this. By the way, when will your signature sneakers come out, I will definitely buy a few more pairs." Lawrence is also a sneaker collector. He also owns several properties in Los Angeles, one of which is specially used to store sneakers. .
What's the saying? People are not as good as shoes. Sneakers can live in a large villa with thousands of square meters. Some people can't even afford a house with a few dozen square meters.
