"Tim, you almost guarded me," Li Hao said with a mean look after completing a small throw in front of Duncan.
"I was almost blocked in front of a 39-year-old man, Li, is this something to be proud of?" Old Duncan said.
"Of course, who calls this 39-year-old old man Tim Duncan?" Li Hao patted him on the back.
"I will have a lot of time next summer. If you still want to learn inside skills, you can call me at any time." As he said, Old Deng would extend his sinful hand to Li Hao's head.
"In order to become stronger and win the championship, if you are bald, you will be bald," Li Hao comforted silently.
Regarding the py transaction between the two, Kobe and Leonard didn't look away.
However, the py between Li Hao and Duncan did not affect their performance in this game. In fact, Old Dengtou only played 20 minutes in this game, scoring 5 points, 2 assists, and 4 rebounds.
On the other side, Li Hao, who fought with Leonard for the entire game, made 6 of 13 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 20 points, 10 assists, 10 rebounds, 2 steals, and 1 block.
Both steals were obtained from Leonard, while on the other side Leonard scored 18 points, 2 assists, 11 rebounds, 3 steals, and 1 block.
Two of Leonard's three steals were also obtained from Li Hao. The two of them can basically be described in one word in this game, each other.
While they were fighting each other offensively, they were also fighting each other defensively.
Leonard has evolved compared to last season. Although Leonard is still not complete now, he is indeed more difficult to guard compared to last season.
Li Hao feels that Leonard is more difficult to guard against. Leonard also feels the same way, and Leonard feels even more obvious.

The highest scorers in this game were Russell and Aldridge, who both scored 24 points, and then Spurs backup guard Mills scored 22 points.
The winner of this game was decided at the end. At the end of the game, the Spurs only beat the Lakers by 4 points.
107:111.
After losing to the Spurs, the Lakers ushered in a five-game losing streak on this road trip, and the last away game was to the Toyota Center to challenge the Rockets.
The Lakers won all three games against the Rockets last season, and Li Hao has a very magical phenomenon, that is, he explodes as soon as he beats the Rockets, averaging 37.6 points per game.
So the question is, can Li Hao continue his explosive form last season? Can the Lakers maintain their victory over the Rockets?
Amid countless people's doubts, the Lakers and Li Hao came to Space City.

"James, let me see your progress." Li Hao stood in front of Harden again.
"Hey, Lee, I should be the one saying this to you," Harden retorted with his big cute eyes.
"What is our relationship? Is there any difference between you telling me and me telling you?" As he spoke, Li Hao reached out and tried to take the basketball off Harden's hand, but he dodged it.
"Of course it does matter." Harden was ready to rush Li Hao before he finished saying it, but Li Hao reacted very quickly and blocked Harden's breakthrough route with one step.
In the collision between two bodies, from a physical point of view, Harden is stronger than Li Hao, but the fact is exactly the opposite. Harden, who was blocked by Li Hao, could not rush into the inside.
Not being able to get into the paint is nothing to Harden. Even Harden, who has faced off against Li Hao many times, has already made a second set of preparations.
Stop the ball, step back, and shoot.
Harden, who knew Li Hao's terrifying bounce, speeded up while doing all this. In the past summer, Harden specially practiced the speed of step-back shooting. There was no way, Li Hao had a real impression on Harden last season. So profound.
Harden is indeed a gamer, but this does not mean that he plays all the time. Some people are like this, finding a delicate balance between playing and seriousness, and achieving neither delay.
Harden is one of them, and so is the Warriors' Splash Thompson.
brush--
Harden made his first three-pointer of the game.
When the Rockets attack, Li Hao defends Harden, but when the Lakers attack, Harden will not recruit Li Hao to humiliate himself. The task of defending Li Hao has always belonged to Ariza.
The two are also old acquaintances and know the basics. Moreover, Ariza has long since stagnated, but Li Hao is still making progress.
Then Li Hao used almost the same method as Harden just now, a step-back three-pointer. In the past summer, Li Hao also practiced the step-back three-pointer.
Moreover, Li Hao's shooting speed is already fast, and coupled with the bonus of the Hall of Fame badge for quick shooting, basically no one can block him.
This is also Li Hao's first three-pointer of the game. More than five minutes have passed in the first quarter, and Li Hao only scored 2 points in the first five minutes.
In this game, Li Hao vowed to lock down Harden defensively to avenge his lack of experience last season. From the first five minutes, Li Hao did a very good job.
In the past five minutes or so, Li Hao did not give Harden a single free throw, and he himself was not deceived by Harden and did not commit a single foul.
Even Li Hao didn't foul Harden in the entire first quarter, but Harden was really in a very hot state today. Even with Li Hao's defense, Harden scored 16 points in the first quarter.
Harden exploded in the first quarter. Li Hao focused too much on defense and was suppressed by Harden in scoring. In the entire first quarter, Li Hao made 4 of 4 shots and 2 of 2 three-pointers and only scored 10 points.
With Harden's outstanding performance, the Rockets finally entered the second quarter with a 32:28 lead.
In the second quarter, Kobe experienced a wave of outbursts, but at the same time as Kobe's outburst, Howard on the Rockets' side also began to erupt. The two were obviously competing.
When the two broke out, both Li Hao and Harden began to take a back seat. In terms of emotional intelligence, Harden was obviously going to completely destroy his former teammates.
Li Hao remembers that Harden was particularly friendly to the people when he came to China. In Harden's more than ten years of career, he seems to have never seen any conflicts with that teammate.
………………………………………….
Although Li Hao and Harden took a back seat in the second quarter, this does not mean that they have no chance. However, after a few minutes of rest, Harden's touch declined, while Li Hao's performance remained stable.
But even so, the Lakers still fell behind at the end of the second quarter, 63:56.
In the third quarter, Kobe's performance was still strong and he scored 11 points again. However, besides Kobe, only Li Hao could score points for the Lakers. On the other hand, the Rockets had more success.
At the end of the third quarter, the Rockets continued to expand their lead and widen the point difference by double digits. However, in the fourth quarter, the Lakers counterattacked strongly.
Li Hao hit three-pointers one after another, but Harden stepped forward at the critical moment. With two three-pointers, the Rockets stabilized the situation and finally broke the losing streak against the Lakers with a score of 129:121.
Li Hao still performed well in this game, playing 38 minutes, making 13 of 20 shots, 5 of 7 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, scoring 36 points, 12 assists, 10 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 Block shot.
