"Li's touch was average in the first quarter." Li Hao only scored 6 points in the first quarter while receiving 8 assists, and these 6 points were all scored by rushing to the basket, and he made 0 of 3 three-pointers from the outside.
On the other side, Harden sent out 9 assists and scored 12 points. He had more assists and points than Li Hao, but there was no winner in the first quarter.
Li Hao of the Lakers scored less than Harden, but other players scored more. Wade scored 8 points in the first quarter, Yi Jianlian had 4 points, Ingram also had 4 points, Randall had 6 points, plus the substitute players The Lakers scored 38 points in the first quarter.
38:38.
Both sides played an excellent performance in the first quarter.
………………………………….
There was no winner for the main team, but the substitutes helped the Lakers take the lead in the second quarter. The combination of Russell, Williams and Nick Young was very powerful.
After a season and a summer of hard work, Russell has made a lot of progress, and the tactics of the substitute players already revolve around him.
Russell is a player who can display his true strength by playing around him. In the main lineup, there will definitely not be any tactics tilted towards him. The bench is different, although there are two convulsive players.
In six minutes, the Lakers' bench scored 20 points, while the Rockets' bench scored 14 points. Although the Rockets' bench was not strong, it could not withstand the Lakers' poor defense.
This group of Lakers substitutes are obviously strong in offense and weak in defense. The trio on the outside can almost be said to have no defensive ability. The defense basically relies on Zubac and Nance Jr. on the inside.
With a 6-point difference, the main players of both sides returned, and Harden, as soon as he came on the scene, reached double figures in assists, assisting Gordon to hit a three-pointer.
Not to be outdone, Li Hao also sent a pass to Ingram, but unfortunately, Ingram still couldn't grasp it.
Ingram's three-point shooting when he first entered the league was at the same level as Wade, and he only developed it later. Li Hao couldn't know everything, so he didn't let Ingram practice three-point shooting in time this summer.
In the original Lakers team, Ingram averaged 2 three-pointers per game in three seasons and hit 0.6 goals.
"Lee passed a lot of good balls to the No. 2 rookie today, but he didn't grasp them." Ingram was criticized for missing an open three-pointer again.
"Lee should be more selfish." If it were Kobe, he would never pass the ball like this even if his hand was not good.
It's not that Li Hao feels bad when passing the ball, but he finds that his teammates are better. Besides, young players need the ball to grow up, but Li Hao regards Ingram as his future second-in-command.
Well, Li Hao has a lot of second-in-commands in his mind, but there is nothing he can do about it. Who does it mean to have the eye of the sky?
Ingram missed a three-pointer again, but the Rockets made another three-pointer. Ariza received a pass from Harden. Harden's performance today was really outstanding, and Li Hao couldn't limit it at all.
"Ariza, the Rockets' main force came back and instantly erased the 6-point gap." Half of the Rockets' identity as the home team has been replaced by the Lakers, but the Rockets still have many fans in China.
"The Lakers need Li to step up." Watching the Rockets hit two three-pointers in a row, the Lakers' eyes were all focused on Li Hao.
Will Li Hao disappoint those who support him?
brush--
Because Li Hao made zero of three shots in the first quarter, Ariza did not come up to defend immediately. Upon seeing this, Li Hao decisively started shooting.
"Oh oh oh~~~This is the Lee we are familiar with, the iconic LOGO three-pointer, Lee shot his first three-pointer in this game." Seeing the basketball hollow into the net, the Staples stands immediately There was a huge cheer.
Ariza, who did not rush forward immediately, received a "kind" greeting from D'Antoni, but this was of no use. Then Li Hao not only stole the ball from Harden's hand, but also pulled back the point difference.
After Li Hao made the LOGO three-pointer, Harden wanted to return the favor, but after taking a step back, the shot was shot away by Li Hao with a follow-up step.
The Lakers counterattacked, and the basketball that Li Hao was afraid of dropping flew towards the Rockets half court, while the basketball that landed
Li Hao immediately stepped over Harden, caught up with the basketball and sniped directly from outside the three-point line.
brush--
The point difference instantly dropped back to 6 points, but it was not over yet. Li Hao's three-point rain or the Lakers' three-point rain had just begun.
The Rockets attacked, and Harden connected with Capela again, but this time Capela blocked Li Hao, and Harden rushed to the basket and scored two points with an easy layup.
Then Yi Jianlian also started a pick-and-roll with Li Hao, but Li Hao did not rush into the paint. Instead, he separated slightly from Ariza and made a decisive move.
"Three out of three~~~ After making zero out of three three-pointers in the first quarter, Li Hao found his touch in the second quarter." Seeing the basketball pass through the center of the net again, D'Antoni immediately called a timeout.
D'Antoni tried to use a timeout to cool down Li Hao's hand, but in fact this timeout had no effect. Although Li Hao did not shoot again, the Lakers scored two more three-pointers.
Randall made his first three-pointer of the game. When Randall retreated to the bottom corner, Li Hao passed the basketball back to Randall, who immediately caught the ball. Shoot.
The bottom corner is the point where Randall's trainer has the highest hit rate, so when pulling out, Randall's first consideration is to run to the bottom corner.
Thirty-six seconds after Randall made the three-pointer, Wade also completed his three-point average performance, courtesy of Li Hao's assist.
After Wade made this three-pointer, Li Hao's assists officially reached double figures. However, this was Li Hao's last assist in the first half. In the following time, both sides went back and forth, and both played very efficiently. .
This also made the score very high at the end of the first half.
71:79.
This score is also the highest score in a half since the opening of the season.
As the core of the Lakers and Rockets, Li Hao and Harden also produced very good statistics. Li Hao made 7 of 10 shots and 3 of 6 three-pointers, scoring 17 points, 10 assists, and 7 rebounds.
Harden made 5 of 9 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 16 points, 14 assists, and 4 rebounds. His performance was no worse than Li Hao, but unfortunately, the Rockets have fallen behind. .
………………………………………….
Lakers fans are satisfied with the score in the first half. Li Hao is as good as ever, and Wade's arrival can really help the team a lot.
Then there is the growth of young players. It can be said that Randall does not have three-pointers, but he has already made one three-pointer this season, and another three-pointer on the line in the first quarter.
Then there is the improvement of Russell, Nance Jr. and others. The substitute group led by Russell was the reason why the Lakers took the lead in the first half.
