Paul George, who played 37 minutes and scored 30 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists, did not bring a victory to the Pacers.
However, the Pacers' defeat has nothing to do with Paul George. Anyone who has watched this game knows that Paul George really tried his best.
But speaking of trying his best, Li Hao also tried his best. In 38 minutes of playing time, Li Hao made 10 of 16 shots, 5 of 8 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 28 points, 8 assists, 8 rebounds, and 3 steals. 1 block.
Although Li Hao scored a little less, the Lakers won the final victory, and in terms of efficiency, Li Hao also completely defeated Paul George.
Paul George's 30 points were obtained with a lot of shots, but Li Hao took 10 fewer shots than George.
For the Pacers, almost no one except George could score. For the Lakers, Wade scored 24 points, and Ingram also scored a season-high 18 points. Coupled with the good performance of Randall and a number of substitute players, the Lakers to win this game.
"Damn it, I will definitely win next time we fight," Paul George said while waiting for Li Hao.
"Impossible" Li Hao immediately retorted.
"Hiss~~~~" Then the two of them took a breath of air, because after saying this, they hugged each other. However, at this time, there were probably two colors on the two of them, cyan and purple.
"Asshole, it's just a matter of playing ball. Do you need to work so hard?" The two complained to each other in their hearts at the same time.
……………………………………………………
"Congratulations to you and your team for winning four consecutive games." Li Hao received congratulations from the media after the game. The last time the Lakers won four consecutive games to start a season was in the 10-11 season, when the Lakers started the season with eight consecutive wins. .
It's a pity that the Lakers had a perfect start but not a perfect ending. The Lakers, who wanted to win three consecutive championships, eventually fell at the feet of the Mavericks led by the veteran driver. In the end, the veteran driver achieved the achievement of single-core leadership.
This was also the beginning of the decline of the Lakers. Although the Lakers tried to help Kobe win another championship with a wave of trouble, the final result is now clear.
"Lee, are the Lakers ushering in a renaissance?" The reporter immediately fired after the congratulations.
"Of course, we are on the right path now." The Lakers' revival is inevitable. Not to mention that he is stronger, the Lakers introduced Wade and Howard this past summer.
"Is it because of Kobe's retirement that the Lakers are experiencing a renaissance?" The reporter immediately asked the second question.
"Man, I've been in the league for three years, and it's easy to lose my friendship if you sow discord like this." After saying that, Li Hao turned around and left.
As Li Hao left, other reporters immediately glared at the reporter who asked this question.
After getting to know each other in the first two seasons, most reporters already know how to deal with Li Hao, but the media update is also very fast, and new people often join.
……………………………………………………
The Lakers who won against the Pacers did not have any time to adjust, because the Lakers were playing back-to-back games, and usually the players would not go out for back-to-back games.
After the Pacers had a night's rest, the entire Lakers team flew to Atlanta on a special plane. Compared with the original Hawks team, the current Hawks team is undoubtedly much weaker.
Howard, who was supposed to return to his hometown team, is still recovering from injury in Los Angeles. The Hawks, who did not sign Howard and lost Jeff Teague and Horford, can hardly be said to have made any supplements.
No, there are also supplements. Russian center Mozgov, who was originally supposed to join the Lakers, switched to the Hawks. Although the contract is not as big as that of the Lakers, it is still a premium contract for the Russian center.
The inertia of history is indeed very powerful. The Russian center joined the Hawks to fill Howard's position, while Luol Deng returned to the Bulls.
Speaking of which, Luol Deng was originally a Bulls player. He joined the Bulls with the seventh pick in the first round in 2004. He played for the Bulls for ten years until he was traded to the Cavaliers in 13-14, and then joined the Heat after the season.
Luol Deng's performance in the two seasons with the Heat was not bad, and his attendance rate was also quite good.
High, perhaps this is one of the reasons why the Lakers are interested in this veteran.
But now everything is different, but it is not a bad thing for Luol Deng. At least he has returned to the Bulls, which is a return to his roots. Although the contract is not as big as joining the Lakers, it is still a small premium contract.
……………………………………………………
Five consecutive wins.
The Hawks originally played team basketball, but the original main players had already gone their separate ways. Carroll signed a big contract immediately after playing, and Horford even signed a contract worth over 100 million in the summer. He is a winner in life.
The only ones who stick around are Millsap and Korver, but Korver is a veteran. Korver was 33 years old two years ago in 1981, let alone now.
Although there are young players who have grown up, such as Schroeder and Bazemore, these players who have grown up cannot replace those who left.
Besides, the team has a chemical reaction and there is a degree of compatibility between the players, and the five people before the Hawks are the five most correct people for each other. Only then can they achieve the first record in the Eastern Conference.
The current Hawks have long lost the chemical reaction they once had. As for the players, Schroeder was directly suppressed by Li Hao. Inside, Millsap was in poor condition. Coupled with the active defense of Arab League and Randall, he almost fought alone. Millsap had almost no performance, playing 37 minutes and scoring a measly 10 points.
This is the fifth game of the Lakers this season. In the previous four games, the Lakers had almost no advantage in the paint. However, in this game, the Lakers were able to gain an advantage in the paint. One can imagine how weak the Hawks are in the paint now.
There is another reason why the Hawks are not good inside, and that is that the Russian center was injured before the game. As for Humphries, since he was single-guarded by Kardashian, he has not blocked the performance like he did in the Nets.
In the end, seven Lakers players scored triple-doubles in this game, and Li Hao once again clocked out before thirty minutes. He played 26 minutes in the game and made 8 of 14 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. , scored 23 points, 7 assists, 8 rebounds, 2 steals, and 2 blocks.
In addition to Li Hao, Wade, Ingram, Yi Jianlian, and Randle all scored in double figures, followed by Russell and Williams who came off the bench.
<.
"Before the season officially started, who would have thought that blocking Lee's performance would be the strength of the Lakers." Faced with the Lakers' five-game winning streak, the media couldn't wait to jump out and make a splash.
Most teams have played five games in the regular season, and currently there are only two teams that have won all five games. The first is naturally the Lakers, and the other is the defending champion Cavaliers led by James.
And five consecutive victories is not the end of the Cavaliers. This season, the Cavaliers will use a wave of six consecutive victories to declare their determination to defend the title.
As for the Warriors, who made everyone scream for the league's finale before the season, they are currently 4 wins and 1 loss. The Warriors lost the first game of the season, but the subsequent four-game winning streak declared the Warriors' strength.
Then comes the interesting news. The Warriors, who have won four games in a row, will visit the Staples Center for Game 6 to challenge the Lakers, who have won five games in a row.
4 consecutive wins vs 5 consecutive wins.
