"Li Hao's first NBA season is coming to an end." On April 15, the Lakers ushered in the last game of the 14-15 regular season, and their opponent was the Sacramento Kings.
At this time, the score on the court was 110:90. The Lakers trailed the Kings by a full 20 points, and there were only more than 5 minutes left in the game.
Because it was the last game, and it was a hopeless game, the Lakers players played a little casually, but Li Hao, who didn't want to lose, played very resolutely.
Not wanting to lose is one of the reasons. Although the Lakers have lost 56 games this season, there are only 9 games left in April. In the previous eight games, the Lakers only won one game. The current record of the Lakers is 25 Wins and 56 losses.
Another reason is naturally for the attribute points. If you win more games, you can get more attributes, which is very important to Li Hao himself.
Although his attributes have improved slightly after one season, in Li Hao's opinion, this improvement is far from enough. The NBA has the most powerful players in the world. The competition is so fierce that even if Li Hao cheats, he may not be able to win the last one.
"Li Hao was replaced. This substitution also announced the official end of his rookie season." At 4 minutes and 35 seconds, Scott replaced Li Hao with Price, and this substitution also heralded the complete end of Li Hao's rookie season. Finish.
At 122:99, the Lakers ended the 2014-15 season with a huge defeat.
Li Hao played 35 minutes, making 14 of 27 shots, 5 of 10 three-pointers, and 7 of 9 free throws. He scored 40 points, 3 assists, 13 rebounds, 3 steals, and 1 block.
This is almost a perfect data. Even such perfect data still cannot prevent the Lakers from losing miserably, but this misfortune is not necessarily a bad thing for the Lakers themselves.
The record of 25 wins and 57 losses ranks fourth in the league with the Magic. This record is likely to lead to a good pick. Although the draft pick has been traded, if the Lakers can get a good pick in the top five, then The Lakers can keep this pick.
And with the Lakers' current record, the possibility of getting into the top five is quite high.

"Li, you have done enough," Kobe said as he patted Li Hao on the shoulder at the end of the game.
As a rookie, Li Hao did really well. Although the Lakers' record was a bit disastrous, Li Hao always carried the team on himself, showing the maturity that a rookie should not have, and also shouldering the responsibility of a rookie. Responsibility that should not be admitted.
Li Hao doesn't know what the Lakers' original record was this season, but Li Hao believes that the Lakers are definitely better now than they were that season.
Li Hao is not an arrogant person, but he believes that he can definitely contribute to the team, and he also gives his all, so there is no problem with Li Hao's personal mentality.
"I know" Li Hao nodded and said.
"Uh" Kobe didn't know what to say now.
Fortunately, reporters came over at this time to ease Kobe's dilemma. Although Kobe has been sitting in the stands for more than two months, he still has countless reporters wanting to interview him.
"I can't believe it, this is just Li's rookie season." Even if Kobe Bryant's interview topic is still indispensable, Li Hao is still indispensable.
The same problem will definitely apply to other Lakers players, and even if they are all rainbow farts, if you want to be successful in this league, you must either have excellent strength, or have excellent emotional intelligence and structure.
This past season, Mr. Li paid a lot for his teammates. Moreover, the whole world knows that the Lakers value Li Hao. Only a fool would say bad things about Li Hao at this time.
"Li, what do you want to say about your rookie season?" As the protagonist of the Lakers for the past two months, Li Hao was naturally surrounded by a group of reporters.
"Well~~~ I have nothing to say," Li Hao replied after thinking for a while.
"Okay, just kidding, although the team's record is not very good, I have tried my best, so for my rookie season, I want to say that I have no regrets," Li Hao said.
Looking back on the past few months, everyone present deeply agreed that as a rookie, Li Hao has indeed done well enough and did his best for the team.
The Lakers' record is indeed poor, but this is not Li Hao's fault. No one will blame Li Hao. Well, if they want to scold him, they will only scold the Lakers management for their inaction.
"Li, first of all, congratulations on your almost perfect rookie season. Do you think you can be unanimously elected as the Rookie of the Year?" As far as the current situation is concerned, there is no suspense for the Rookie of the Year in the 14-15 season.
Li Hao has won all the Rookie of the Month awards in the Western Conference this season. The only suspense at the moment is whether Li Hao can become the Rookie of the Month unanimously.
"Of course" Li Hao showed strong confidence, and Li Hao's confidence was not blind.
Played 82 regular season games, played 2911 minutes in the season, averaged 35.5 minutes per game, scored 26.9 points, 7.7 assists, 8.1 rebounds, 1.3 steals, 1.2 blocks, and 3.5 turnovers.
26.9 points is also the second-highest score in a rookie season in NBA history, second only to the old gangster's 28.2 points, and the highest score in active service.
Before Li Hao, the highest score in the rookie season of an active player was set by Griffin. White Monster also played 82 regular season games, averaging 22.5 points per game.
If assists and rebounds are included, Li Hao is even better than the old hooligan. The old hooligan averaged 5.9 assists and 6.5 rebounds per game in his rookie season, both less than Li Hao.
Based on Li Hao's statistics and performance on the court, he is qualified to run for the best team and the best defensive team. As for the best rookie team, that is a sure thing, there is no suspense.
As the reporter asked, the question now for Li Hao is whether he can be unanimously elected as the best rookie. Before this, four NBA rookies were unanimously elected as the best rookie.
The latest one is Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard. Lillard's rookie season statistics were 19 points, 6.5 assists, and 3.1 rebounds. The next step is Griffin's 22.5 points, 3.8 assists, and 12.1 rebounds.
In addition, Li Hao almost entered the 180 club. Li Hao shot 49.7% from the field, 45.9% from three-pointers, and 80.6% from free throws.
The so-called 180 club means shooting 50% from the field, 40% from the three-point range, and 90% from the free throw line. This means that the free throw percentage is close.
Li Hao has decided to improve his free throws this summer. It doesn't matter whether he is 180 or not, but the 80.6% shooting rate is not pleasing to the eye.

"What are your plans for the next step?" The Lakers, who have no playoffs to play, will have a holiday soon.
"I will rest for a few days and then start the summer training plan." After a season, Li Hao really wants to take a few days off. As for the summer training plan, Li Hao has given Grover full responsibility. As early as last summer, Li Hao He has already signed a contract with Grover.
Of course, commercial endorsements will also be on the agenda. One year later, Li Hao's net worth has doubled, and it has doubled several times. All endorsements have to be re-signed. For this reason, Holtz left for China early.
