"I think there is no suspense in this game. Li Hao's condition is too hot, and have you noticed that Li Hao has improved a lot compared to last season." Maybe ordinary fans can't see Li Hao's progress, but his actions are all from the beginning. With the professional commentators after the players retired, the TNT Big Three can still discover Li Hao's progress.
In fact, not only the three giants of TNT know it, but Wiggins, who is opposite Li Hao, can also feel it. The two have trained together for two months, and there have been many real man battles during this period.
But compared with the previous real men's battle, Wiggins felt that Li Hao had improved again later on, which shocked Wiggins because Li Hao's progress span was too exaggerated.
In the first half, Wiggins' defense was quite good, but he just couldn't guard against Li Hao. On the contrary, Wiggins himself was very uncomfortable being guarded by Li Hao in the first half. Wiggins only scored 6 points in the entire first half. .
"I know, I went to Lee's training camp, and Kobe said something that I couldn't believe," O'Neal said.
"What did Kobe say?" Kenny Smith asked.
"Kobe said Lee's training was even crazier than when he was young." Kobe was known as a training fanatic, but there was a limit to his craziness, after all, where his body was.
But Li Hao didn't have to worry about this. With a body of steel, he could do whatever he wanted without worrying about injuries.
"Is this true?" Kobe's reputation as a training freak is known throughout the league.
"I didn't believe it at first, so I watched it with my own eyes for a day. You know, 8 hours of regular training a day, and after that, he practiced shooting by himself." O'Neal actually watched Li Hao train.
"I now know why I hardly saw Li Hao doing anything off the court this summer." During the offseason, players will indulge for a while to vent the accumulated pressure of the past season.

On the court, players from both sides had returned to the court, and then the Timberwolves launched a strong counterattack. Although everyone felt that there was no hope for the Timberwolves in this game, the Timberwolves players did not seem to think so.
But this is normal. The most important thing for the young wolves is passion. Under the leadership of Towns, Wiggins, and Rubio, the Timberwolves set off a wave of climax.
Wiggins scored four points in a row, Towns scored 6 points on Hibbert, and Rubio scored 5 points while also sending 3 assists. In less than four minutes, the Timberwolves almost tied the game. A 17-point difference.
At the critical moment, Li Hao stood up. First, he stabilized the morale of the army with a three-pointer. Then he stole Rubio and assisted Kobe to score. Then he sent out the second block of the game, and it was Towns.
After the second half of last season, Lakers fans gradually became accustomed to placing their hopes on Li Hao, and gradually adapted to Li Hao standing up at critical moments.
However, Li Hao on the court was not in a hurry to seize power. In the following time, he gave Kobe two more assists. With the bonus of Li Hao's badge, Kobe made consecutive hits. With the efforts of Li Hao and Kobe, the point difference Pulled back again.
When Li Hao and Kobe Bryant were replaced, the Lakers still led by 16 points. Although veteran Kevin Martin stepped up again, Nick Young and Williams withstood the Timberwolves' impact.
At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers still led by 16 points.
In the fourth quarter, Li Hao took the initiative to play, and Scott did not refuse because he knew that Li Hao wanted to take away the game, and Scott also believed that Li Hao could do it.

"Zach, come up with Andrew, you can't stop me." Li Hao asked Zaravin's heart again.
LaVine played very poorly in this game. The main problem is LaVine's mentality. Last season, Wiggins played in 82 games, 82 of which were starts, while LaVine played in 77 games and started in 40 games. Or because Rubio was injured.
As a rookie, LaVine's performance is not bad. It can be said that he is second only to Li Hao and Wiggins. This also gives LaVine hope to become the team's real starter in the new season.
Seeing that Li Hao is not only sitting in the starting position, but also being trained by the team as a future core, if LaVine doesn't have something in mind, it is absolutely impossible for him to play. Because of this, he chose to train with Li Hao this past summer.
Although his training volume cannot be compared with Li Hao, he is definitely one of the hardest-working players in the NBA during the holidays, and the results of his hard work in the summer are also very significant.
But despite such hard work, the Timberwolves head coach gave him a slap in the face and would rather let the 35-year-old Prince start than let him start.
Are there any performance requirements for the Timberwolves? The current Timberwolves are giving young players a chance to grow enough, rather than starting veterans who are about to retire.
Back in the game, Li Hao stepped past LaVine, then rushed inside and succeeded in a small throw in front of Bjelica. Li Hao specially practiced the throw in the summer.
The Timberwolves' inside line couldn't stop Li Hao at all, so in the following time, Li Hao frequently rushed to stop and score.
Under the stimulation of Li Hao, LaVine eliminated the distracting thoughts in his mind and began to focus on the game. However, even if LaVine's performance improved, it could not change the fact that the Lakers expanded their lead under the leadership of Li Hao.
But when the main players of both sides returned to the court, the Lakers had already expanded their advantage to 20 points. In this case, the Timberwolves could not change the final outcome of the game even if the main players returned.
In the end, Li Hao played 32 minutes, making 13 of 16 shots, 5 of 6 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored a game-high 35 points, 11 assists, 10 rebounds, 2 steals, and 2 blocks.
Well, Li Hao once again scored a triple-double in the first game of the season, and the data was similar to last year's debut, which was 37 points, 10 assists, 11 rebounds, 2 steals, and 2 blocks.
"If you don't look carefully, you think it's just copying and pasting?" O'Neill joked while holding Li Hao's data.
"But if you look at the details of Lee's performance in these two games, you will find that these two games are completely different." After hearing what Barkley said, many fans actually went back to the video of last year's game to compare with today's game. Compare.
Looking at it this way, we can really see Li Hao's handling of some details in the two games, but this is all for later. Now, the Lakers should enjoy this victory.
129:112.

"I'm very happy to win a good start to the season. Although a victory doesn't mean anything, it at least means that we have a good start." As the protagonist of this game, Li Hao is naturally the one who gets the most attention.
By the way, the other protagonist's performance was not bad either. Kobe made 8 of 19 shots in the game, 3 of 10 three-pointers, and 5 of 5 free throws, scoring 24 points.
In addition to Li Hao and Kobe, other Lakers players also performed very well. Williams, Hibbert and even Randall all played good data. The only one who was unsatisfactory was Russell's performance.
Russell, who played 26 minutes, only scored a measly 4 points.
