The reason for the match between the Lakers and the Men's Dragons should be the showdown between the Black Mamba and the Mamba Disciples, but Li Hao abruptly stole some of the attention from the two of them.
Li Hao has scored 24 points in three consecutive games. Now everyone is concerned about whether Li Hao can score 24 points in four consecutive games and become the essence of human point control.
Li Hao obviously didn't want to steal the title of Brother Zui, so before the game, Li Hao silently made up his mind that this game would never be 24 points again.
However, there are some things that you cannot change if you want to. Moreover, when the game really starts, there is still thinking about scoring, so when the game is over, Li Hao gets his own data in the game.
He froze.
Li Hao, who played 35 minutes, made 8 of 14 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, and 5 of 5 free throws.
No more, no less, just 24 points, in addition to 12 assists, 8 rebounds, and 2 steals.
"Li, you still said you weren't controlling points?" Li Hao didn't want to be interviewed after the game, but reporters immediately surrounded Li Hao.
"Okay, I did it on purpose. Actually, I was paying tribute to Kobe." Kobe was wearing No. 24.
However, reporters obviously did not believe Li Hao's words, but everyone knew that this was actually just a joke. In basketball games, scoring can really be controlled, but scoring 24 points in 4 consecutive games is indeed amazing.
Then a new topic emerged, whether Li Hao can continue such a magical performance in the next game, scoring 24 points in five consecutive games.
In addition to Li Hao's 24 points, there are actually many topics to talk about in this game, such as the Menglong's tribute to Kobe and the matchup between Kobe and DeRozan.
This was the last time the two played against each other on the NBA stage, so both of them tried their best. Kobe scored 21 points under DeRozan's defense, while DeRozan scored 20 points under Kobe's entanglement. .
There is another interesting statistic between the two, that is, their shooting percentages are both 50%, and the number of shots and hits are the same. Both of them made 8 of 16 shots.
The final result of the game ended with Menglong's victory.
104:108.
The Lakers have lost three games in a row.
………………………………………….
The Lakers left Toronto and came to Minnesota. Their next opponent was the Timberwolves. Compared with last season, the Timberwolves performed better.
Wiggins and LaVine have indeed improved a lot compared to last season. The Timberwolves played a total of 20 games. Wiggins only failed to score in double figures in two games. In the remaining 18 games, he scored 20+ many times, even at the airport. A performance of 30+ fully demonstrated Xia Tian's hard work and talent.
LaVine is not as bright as Wiggins, but one of the important reasons why LaVine is worse than Wiggins is that the head coach does not give him enough trust.
In the past 20 games, LaVine has only had the opportunity to start 6 games, and his average playing time per game is nearly ten minutes less than Wiggins.
In the past twenty games, LaVine has only averaged 25.2 playing time per game, while Wiggins has averaged 35.2 points per game.
In these 25.2 minutes, LaVine averaged 14.6 points per game, and Wiggins scored 21 points in 35.2 minutes.
The gap between the two is actually not that big. Don't forget, the gap between the two's status in the team is there, and the status is linked to tactics.
Furthermore, LaVine's mentality was a little jumpy at the beginning. He was originally waiting for the new season with high expectations, but ended up waiting for him as a substitute. The head coach would rather give a chance to a veteran than to a young player like him.
If LaVine has no strength, that's okay, but LaVine's personal ability is there. Maybe LaVine's static talent is not as good as Wiggins, but in terms of dynamics, LaVine is no worse than Wiggins.
…………………………………………………….
Playing against the Timberwolves should be one of Li Hao's most anticipated games, and most games against the Timberwolves can achieve good results.
But it is a pity that Li Hao will be disappointed this time. In today's game, Li Hao failed to restrict Wiggins and LaVine like he did before.
Zui Ge scored 19 points in the matchup with Li Hao, while LaVine scored 16 points in 20 minutes off the bench, plus Towns' 26 points and veteran Kevin Martin's 37 points.
The Timberwolves finally won the game with a score of 134:125.
Towns, who was blocked by two risks by Li Hao in his career debut, also held back his energy in this game, and then Hibbert was miserable. The former All-Star, who had been completely flat, was eliminated in this contest with Towns. Take whatever you ask for.
Because of the relationship between Wiggins and LaVine, Li Hao couldn't go inside to help defend like he did in the first match. Coupled with the sudden explosion of Kevin Martin, the Lakers really couldn't stop it.
As for the Lakers, Li Hao is still the one with the highest performance, and in this game Li Hao finally broke the strange "24 points" limit.
In the game, he made 10 of 18 shots, 4 of 7 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 30 points, 12 assists, 10 rebounds, 2 steals, and 1 block.
In fact, the Lakers performed well today except for individual players. They played their best game of the season against the No. 1 pick Russell, scoring 23 points, which the Lakers ranked second only to Li Hao. In addition, Randall had 20 points. Williams and Nick Young also scored in double figures.
As for Kobe, after battling with DeRozan for more than 30 minutes in the last game, Kobe was out of shape for the whole game, and Kobe only played 25 minutes, scoring 11 points on 5 of 13 shots.
Kobe is indeed getting old, and it is especially obvious this season. Just compare the regular season data between this season and last season. At this stage of last season, Kobe had five 30+ performances, one 40+ performance, and ten 20+ performances.
But what about this season? The number of points scored over 20+ was only half of last season, there was only one game with 30+ points, and the rest were basically 10+ points.
In addition, there is the number of shots. Many people think that Kobe takes up a lot of the Lakers' shots. But in the fierce NBA, being able to take shots is a skill, and Kobe's skill has declined very seriously this season.
……………………………………………………….
The Lakers, who have lost four consecutive games, will continue their road trip. The last stop of the eight-game road trip for the Lakers is Texas, where they faced the Spurs and Rockets among the three Texas heroes.
Like Kobe, Duncan's personal data from the Spurs has also declined quite significantly. If you look at the data alone, Duncan has declined more than Kobe.
But even if Deng's condition declines, the Spurs' lineup is quite strong. Aldridge, the only big fish in the summer, has made up for Deng's decline. Parker and Ginobili still have fuel in their tanks, not to mention Lonzo. Nader has evolved again.
The Spurs' strength is also directly reflected in their record. After playing 23 games in the regular season, the Spurs' record is 18 wins and 5 losses, which is the second best record in the league after the Warriors.
Therefore, even if Lao Deng's condition declines, the Spurs are still strong contenders for the championship.
