"If you often watch Lakers games, you should be able to find that Li Hao often exerts his strength in the third quarter and creates a small climax to help the Lakers establish their lead." Li Hao's strength in the third quarter seems to have come from Rocket started.
In fact, the same is true for Li Hao today. Li Hao made a three-pointer at the beginning of the second half. This time, he did not make the shot as soon as the half was over, but moved to the other side under the cover of his teammates to complete the shot.
After this three-pointer, the point difference between the two sides officially widened to double digits. Although Harden wanted to return a goal, Harden's three-pointer today was not good. The basketball missed the basket and Randall was in an easy position. Take off the backboard.
Randall is not tall at the power forward position, but his rebounding ability is not bad. He was a famous double-double machine in the NCAA, averaging 9.2 rebounds per game last season.
Randall grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Li Hao immediately. This was almost a subconscious behavior of the Lakers players. Li Hao, who received the pass from Randall, immediately rushed towards the Rockets half.
However, there was someone faster than Li Hao, and that was Lakers No. 3, old Lightning Wade. However, Li Hao did not stop, but followed behind him, and only threw the ball off the Rockets backboard when Wade rushed to stop him.
Bang——
boom--
"Beautiful, alley-oop dunk, Li and Dwyane completed a very enjoyable cooperation." Wade is no longer at his peak, but he can still dunk, and Li Hao's passing is very accurate.
After completing the dunk, Wade turned around and bumped chests with Li Hao to celebrate.
Although the first game was not over, Wade played very comfortably and felt that his move to the Lakers was a very correct decision.
Wade should be the clearest among the Lakers players about Li Hao's strength, because during the training camp, the two had many 1V1 real-man battles, and they also had a tacit understanding. After most of the game, the two had connected for many times. Second-rate.
The Lakers' climax continued. Harden and Capela once again completed a pick-and-roll, but this time Harden did not get rid of Li Hao, and then Harden used the old method of cheating for a foul.
No, how can Harden's foul be called a lie? It's about making mistakes, but it's about making fouls.
So Harden took the initiative to seek physical contact, but Li Hao's reaction was not unpleasant. The moment Harden came closer, Li Hao jumped back to avoid Harden.
Because Harden also screamed when he leaned towards Li Hao. As a result, he did not collide with Li Hao at all and fell to the ground for no reason.
For a moment, the whole world fell silent. Li Hao looked at Harden. Harden sat on the ground and looked at Li Hao. Others looked at the two of them. The scene was very embarrassing.
"Hush~~~~" Staples immediately burst into laughter and boos.
"Shaq, the material for your show is out," Barkley laughed unscrupulously.
"I think this should make it into the year," Kenny Smith couldn't help but joke.
There is no way, this scene is too embarrassing.
On the court, although Harden is dark and has a beard, he still feels embarrassed at this time.
"Man, you can't blame me for this." Li Hao didn't want to make Harden look bad. He just subconsciously wanted to avoid Harden to avoid being deceived into fouling.
Harden didn't reply, but the resentful look in his eyes said everything.
……………………………………………
My name is Wang Dachui~~Bah~~~My name is Harden. I am playing an NBA regular season game. I cooperated with my teammates without getting rid of the opponent. I immediately thought of a way to cause the opponent to foul. But this time the opponent was very cunning. Not only It avoided my superb foul-drawing skills and caused me to fall directly to the ground. The scene was very embarrassing.
…………………………………………
The farce didn't last long, and the game quickly restarted, but Harden didn't seem to recover from the farce.
In fact, it's normal to think about it. Even if Harden has a big heart, he is embarrassed in front of the whole world at this time. If he succeeds in drawing a foul, it doesn't matter. Winner and loser, but he failed, and the defeat was still... So ugly.
Harden failed to recover from the flop
After recovering from the embarrassment, the Rockets are basically gone, because in D'Antoni's tactics, Harden is not only the core of the Rockets' tactics, but also the initiator and organizer of the Rockets' offense.
So when Harden is out of shape, the Rockets' offense is completely useless.
While you are sick, I will kill you.
Under the leadership of Li Hao, the Lakers turned a small climax into a big one and took away the game in one wave.
As we all know, D'Antoni led the team with another characteristic, the dead grass main force, and this characteristic was also passed on to his former disciple Nash.
Even if there was a problem with Harden's condition, D'Antoni still did not make adjustments immediately. D'Antoni even hoped that Harden could adjust himself.
But the Lakers didn't give them a chance, and then Li Hao hit his fifth three-pointer of the game, and Wade, Randall, and Ingram hit.
The Lakers directly widened the point difference to 20 points. Even if D'Antoni reacted at this time, it would be useless. Harden is too important to this Rockets. Besides, the Rockets' substitutes cannot support the Rockets' offense at all.
Before the third quarter ended, the game completely entered garbage time, which also made this originally exciting game anticlimactic.
The performance of both sides in the first and second quarters can be said to be evenly matched, and Li Hao and Harden were even more competitive. Even if the Lakers lead, the point difference is not big, and the Rockets have every chance to catch up.
But as Harden made a foul and was dodged by Li Hao, his mentality immediately exploded, and the game completely lost suspense. After being replaced in the second half of the third quarter, Li Hao and Wade never played again.
This also allowed Li Hao to play only 25 minutes in the first game. In these 25 minutes, Li Hao made 9 of 12 shots, 4 of 7 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 24 points and 13 assists. , 10 rebounds, 2 steals, 2 blocks.
Although he didn't play much time, he still produced a triple-double, and his performance cannot be ignored.
Wade, who made his debut, also played very efficiently, making 8 of 12 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 21 points, 5 assists, and 5 rebounds.
Another debutant, Ingram, scored 10 points, 3 rebounds and no assists. As a rookie, Ingram's performance was not considered.
The remaining debut players, Yi Jianlian, had 8 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists, and Zubac had 6 points, 6 rebounds, and their performances were pretty good.
……………………………………………………
"I refuse to go back to the question about James. As you know, James and I are very good friends." Faced with the swarm of reporters, Li Hao directly blocked their mouths.
The reporter who heard Li Hao's words could not help but think of the previous scene, and then he could no longer control the smile on his face.
"You really can't blame me," Li Hao said silently.
On the other hand, Harden returned to the locker room at the end of the game, packed up his things and left without taking a shower. Harden didn't want to stay at Staples for a moment longer.
