After the game, everyone's focus was on Harden's social performance. No one paid attention to Li Hao's triple-double. After all, Li Hao had completed the feat of a triple-double in the previous season and was the league's triple-double king.
However, the title of triple-double king will change hands after this season, because Westbrook, without Durant, will start the triple-double mode.
It's just that with Li Hao's triple-double ahead this season, it's hard to say whether Westbrook can win the MVP with his triple-double. And if Westbrook doesn't win the regular season MVP, his historical status may decline.
Although he didn't make a big splash in the first two years of entering the league, he had already affected the entire league without knowing it.
……………………………………………..
The Lakers, who had a good start in the opening game, had no time to rest. To be more precise, everyone was like this when the NBA officially started. One day later, the Lakers arrived in Salt Lake City without a core.
Due to injuries, Hayward will miss the Jazz's first few regular season games. According to the original development, this will also be Hayward's last season with the Jazz.
After that, Hayward will go to trick the Celtics, and after tricking the Celtics, he will go to the Hornets to trick Mr. Joe.
No, the word "pit" is not appropriate. From the perspective of fans, this may be a pit, but as players and they interact, Li Hao knows that no player wants to be injured.
The timing of Hayward's injury is weird every time. He gets injured right after signing a big contract, and there will be another outbreak before the contract expires. No, it's normal.
Hayward has the strength, and he is very good offensively and defensively. If Hayward can stay healthy, he will definitely be a qualified second-in-command.
Moreover, Hayward is a good person. Although Li Hao and Hayward do not have a good relationship, the two still have intersections and even have each other's contact information.
…………………………………………
Although the home court of the Utah Jazz is called the home court of hell, the Jazz without core players will definitely not be able to stop the Lakers led by Li Hao.
At the beginning of the game, Li Hao used two iconic three-pointers to give the Lakers the lead. Then Wade rushed into the Jazz inside to complete 2+1 and successfully hit a three-pointer.
In the absence of Hayward, George Hill became the main output of this Jazz, but George Hill faced Li Hao today. From the moment the game started, George Hill was held down by Li Hao. This was also the case for the Jazz. The reason for falling behind by 11 points at the start.
But it was not over yet. The Jazz did not get the first score of the game until four minutes into the game. After George Hill and Gobert picked and rolled, Gobert carried Yi Jianlian to complete a layup to break the deadlock.
Gobert was the main force of the team last season, but he has really started to rise this season. However, with Gobert like this, he is not afraid of a few more Li Hao, because this person has too many limitations.
Although Gobert's score helped the Jazz break their scoring drought, it did not change the fact that the Jazz were lagging behind, and the Jazz's lagging behind was getting bigger and bigger as time went by.
At the end of the first half, the Lakers led by nearly 20 points. To be honest, with the Jazz's performance, the second half was basically garbage time.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Li Hao played only three minutes in the entire second half. Three minutes later, he was replaced by Luke Walton and Russell.
Li Hao never played again after that, and at the end of the game, the score was fixed. The Lakers just beat the Jazz by 20 points.
……………………………………………………
Li Hao's playing time hit a new low again, playing only 21 minutes. In these 21 minutes, Li Hao made 8 of 10 shots, 3 of 4 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 21 points. , 8 assists, 7 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 block.
The average efficiency of 1 point per minute is still good, but the failure to continue the triple-double makes the fans very dissatisfied. After all, Lakers fans relied on the triple-doubles of Kobe and Li Hao for comfort last season.
Kobe is gone this season. Although Wade has come, in the hearts of Lakers fans, Wade obviously cannot be compared with Kobe.
As for the team's first two consecutive victories, although the fans are happy, they are not too happy.
The experience of last season is still vivid in my mind.
You know, last season the Lakers finished the first six games with the second-best record in the league, second only to the undefeated Warriors, but what next? A losing streak suddenly dashed the fans' hopes.
In the minds of Lakers fans, the Lakers still need to level up this season. Li Hao is only in his third year and has only truly become a team leader this season. In the eyes of fans and even the media, Li Hao needs time to learn how to become a true leader.
Furthermore, there are too many young players in the Lakers. The second picks in 2015 and 2016 need time to grow up, especially Ingram, who has just entered the league. Even in the second game against the weak Jazz Ingram, his performance was average. Only 6 points were scored in the game.
Even if the Lakers made good gains in the free market this past summer, in the minds of fans and media, it still takes time to grow the team.
Li Hao can understand the thoughts of fans and media, but understanding does not mean agreement. The young players in the team do need to improve, but this does not mean that the Lakers are incompetent, especially after signing Wade and Howard, Li Hao In my heart, I was rushing to compete with the warriors.
But Li Hao would not express this idea.
……………………………………………………
With the momentum of two consecutive wins at the beginning of the season, the Lakers came to Oklahoma. In the third game, the Lakers will face the new Thunder team led by senior Westbrook.
Before the game against the Lakers, the Thunder also played two games and won two consecutive games. Westbrook, who was not controlled by Durant, also played quite terrifying data, and successfully rushed into the sewer and evolved into a turtle.
In the first game against the 76ers, Turtle scored 32 points, 9 assists, and 12 rebounds, a near-triple-double. The second game against the Suns was even more terrifying. In 45 minutes, Turtle scored 51 points, 10 Assists, 13 rebounds and a triple-double.
Facing a team that is in such a hot state, almost no one is sure that the Lakers can take away a victory in Oklahoma.
However, these people choose not to understand Li Hao well enough and do not understand the true protagonist mode.
What protagonist mode?
The stronger you meet.
To be honest, seeing the senior in such a hot state, Li Hao was already a little excited before he arrived in Oklahoma, and this season Li Hao returned to the No. 1 position.
What does this mean? It means that Li Hao can face off against Westbrook and the opponent's strongest player from the very beginning.
The strong are never afraid of challenges, not to mention that Westbrook is not necessarily better than Li Hao.
