"mvp~~~mvp~~~mvp" There was a huge cheer at the Staples Center, because with this dunk, the Lakers led their opponents by 15 points.
If it were an ordinary opponent, the Lakers would not be so excited, but the Warriors are playing against the Lakers at this time. They are the best team in the league this season and have only lost 5 games in the regular season.
However, one of the five games the Warriors lost was to the Lakers. If the Lakers can beat the Warriors again in this game, the Lakers will be the only team to double-kill the Warriors so far.
This is the tragedy of a weak team. The Lakers have been really miserable in the past few years. The original introduction of Howard was to seize the tail of Kobe Bryant's peak and compete for the championship, but it turned out to be the beginning of the decline of the Lakers.
The team that once competed for the championship has been reduced to defeating strong teams to flatter itself. The man who became the number one player in the league is entering the final season of his career.
Although the entire Lakers team is in good shape in this game, the real winner is still the Warriors' own state. The Warriors' hands felt so cold in this game that it can even be said that this is the Warriors' worst game this season. .
At this time, there were less than 5 minutes left in the game, and only two people on the Warriors scored in double figures, and these two people were officially replaced after Li Hao completed the dunk.
Splash Brothers.
Curry made 6 of 20 shots and 1 of 10 three-pointers, scoring the Warriors' highest 18 points. Thompson made 7 of 20 shots and 0 of 8 three-pointers, scoring the second-highest 15 points.
From the scores of these two people, we can see the reason why the Warriors fell behind in this game. Therefore, this game was not because the Lakers themselves were outstanding, but because the Warriors played too poorly.
But no matter what, the Lakers still double-kill the Warriors. If they can match such a strong Warriors 50-50, the Lakers still have great potential.
……………………………………………………
After defeating the Warriors, the Lakers defeated the Magic again, and then had another losing streak. Near the end of the season, people's hearts began to wander, and the head coach consciously reduced Li Hao's playing time.
The wealthy teams never play poorly, that's just for the fans. The Lakers' intention to reduce Li Hao's playing time is already obvious, that is, to get better picks.
At the same time, the general manager also approached Li Hao. Although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning between the lines was that the team wanted a higher pick.
In Kupchak's words, this is also for Li Hao. The better the lottery, the greater the chance of selecting a promising rookie. This will not only increase the team's strength, but also assist him in the future.
Another thing is to pass more passes to Kobe, which Li Hao has been doing this season. Many of Kobe's points this season come from Li Hao's assists, so Li Hao's triple-double contributes a lot to Kobe.
After winning against the Magic, the Lakers once again ushered in a losing streak, losing to the Cavaliers, Knicks, Kings and Suns. In this wave of losing streak, Li Hao's average playing time dropped from 32 minutes per game.
After Li Hao's playing time decreased, Nance Jr., Randle, and Russell's playing time increased. Compared with Li Hao, these people have a much smaller impact on the outcome.
But this is still not a bad thing. What rookies lack most is experience. Although Li Hao is also a rookie, in fact no one really regards Li Hao as a second-year rookie.

By the way, during this period, Li Hao's restaurant opened as scheduled, and Li Hao's problem of eating was finally solved. Although Li Hao can cook himself, as a player, he should try to avoid it if possible.
Basketball players' hands are very important. If their hands are injured while cooking, even a little injury may affect the shooting feel.
As for the restaurant business, it goes without saying that Li Hao doesn't even need to take the initiative to promote it. Kobe, Lakers teammates and even James have taken the initiative to promote Li Hao.
On the first day of opening, Li Hao invited the entire Lakers team to the restaurant for dinner. When the Cavaliers came to Los Angeles, Li Hao also fulfilled his promise to James and invited James and his family to his restaurant for dinner.
In order to repay the favor of James for sending game tickets before, Li Hao called James specifically before the game against the Cavaliers and invited his family to come to Los Angeles.
This time James really came out with his whole family. Not only his mother came, but his daughter who was less than two years old also came. Li Haochu didn't need to pay for the air tickets, as they were flying privately.
And when Lao Zhan and his family arrived, Li Hao asked for a hint of something unusual. Although James is famous for his emotional intelligence in the league, no matter how high his emotional intelligence is, it is impossible to bring the whole family here just because of Li Hao's words. Li Hao obviously doesn't have that big of a mind. face.
Well, this is just Li Hao's guess. Logically speaking, James cannot plan for district basketball so early. The Cavaliers' championship he promised has not yet happened.

A four-game losing streak at home cannot dampen the enthusiasm of the fans. It is still hard to get tickets for Staples. Tickets are even getting more and more expensive. For example, the tickets for the game against the Grizzlies were one dollar more expensive than the last game against the Suns. Small cut.
You know, Kobe did not play in the last game against the Suns, but today's fans should be worth the money because Kobe finally returned to the court today after two games off.
With Kobe's help, the Lakers ended their losing streak. Although Kobe's touch was average, he still helped Li Hao share part of the scoring pressure.
Kobe, who returned from two games off, scored the second-highest score for the Lakers in this game. The first-highest scorer was naturally Li Hao. Li Hao, who played 30 minutes, made 8 of 13 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and free throws. Made 4 of 4 free throws, scored 22 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds.
The less playing time will definitely affect the output, but it is not as big as expected. In the past period, Li Hao has had many triple-doubles.
According to the current situation, Li Hao's goal of averaging a triple-double this season can definitely be achieved. Unfortunately, the Lakers' poor record prevents Li Hao from being able to compete for the regular season MVP this season.
According to the latest week's rankings, Li Hao has rushed to third place in the MVP rankings, second only to this season's peak Curry and the current league's No. 1 James.
The gold content of averaging a triple-double for more than half a century is indeed terrifying. In the timeline without Li Hao, Westbrook won the regular season MPV by averaging a triple-double in three games.
The Thunder's regular season record without Durant was not good, ranking only sixth in the Western Conference. However, Westbrook just won the regular season MVP from Harden by averaging a triple-double per game this season.
To be honest, Harden's performance in the 16-17 season was not much worse than Westbrook, averaging 29.1 points per game at the end of the season. With 11.2 assists and 8.1 rebounds, the Rockets' record is ten percentage points higher than the Thunder's, with a record of 55 wins and 27 losses.
Because of this, Westbrook's regular season MVP is full of controversy, because MVP selection does not only look at data.
