"Wow~~~Lee's girlfriend is here to declare her sovereignty." At Staples Center, Kim Seol-hyun appeared in the front row with exquisite makeup. Along with Kim Seol-hyun, there was manager Holtz.
"Today's Bulls should be careful. It is said that the Lakers have never lost when Lee's girlfriend came to cheer." Today's game is not broadcast live across the United States, but the attention is still very high.
Today the Lakers will face the challenge of the Bulls at the Staples Center. This will definitely be another very "intense" battle between real men.
Li Hao faced off against Butler. The two matches between the two last season were impressive and even made many old fans dream back to the era of muscle versus muscle.
In addition to the confrontation between Li Hao and Butler, there is also the grievance between the Lakers and the Bulls. Let’s not talk about it. Let’s just say that this summer, the Bulls were very close to Wade, but they killed a Laker halfway and successfully intercepted the ball in the end. Hu, this is what makes the Bulls uncomfortable.
The Bulls had no choice but to sign back veteran player Luol Deng. However, after more than a dozen regular season games, Luol Deng was a few steps behind Wade.
Luol Deng averaged only about 8 points per game with the Bulls, while Wade averaged 18 points with the Lakers.
"Don't come here. If you are chanting a spell, then don't speak." Seeing Li Hao walking towards him, Butler immediately stopped him.
"Uh~~~ I just want to tell you to take it easy tonight," Li Hao said helplessly.
"This is impossible, you know, I will try my best," Butler refused.
"Man, you are forcing me to recite a spell." Seeing Butler's refusal, Li Hao immediately threatened.
"Don't~~~Don't~~~Don't, I'm a small forward, we won't face each other directly in the game." Butler decided to stabilize Li Hao first.

"First Leonard, then Butler, Li Hao faced off against the two best defensive players among the 2011 rookies." Leonard and Butler were both rookies in the 11th draft, Leonard was No. 15 in the first round, and Bart was Le Ze was No. 30 in the first round.
And the most interesting thing is that both of them started on defense, but their defensive styles are very different. Leonard's static talent is better, and his long arms can cover the sky.
Butler doesn't have Leonard's static talent, but he has a fearless spirit, plus he works hard to build muscles.
In fact, no matter what style they are, these two are the most difficult opponents in the league today.
However, there is really no matchup between the two in this game. Li Hao is playing the No. 1 position, while Butler is playing the No. 3 position. Rondo is standing in front of Li Hao, and naturally the young Englishman is standing in front of Butler. Gram.
In this case, Li Hao is not polite. Rondo may be able to defend his opponents with his good body and long arms when facing other No. 1 positions, but facing Li Hao's monster-level physical fitness, he can only really Not much.
Therefore, facing Rondo, Li Hao couldn't ask for anything, but he could easily score, three-pointers, dunks, and assists. Li Hao was very active from the first minute of the game.
However, Li Hao was not the only one who was active. Facing Ingram, Butler not only succeeded in singles frequently, but also put the young Yingge into foul trouble early.
At the end of the first quarter, Butler scored a team-high 14 points and got 8 opportunities. Three of the fouls came from Ingram. After the third foul, the Lakers' second pick had to return to the bench.
Luke Walton replaced Ingram with Nance Jr., and then used Randall to play the three position. Randall was short in height, but he was more than enough to play the three position, and Randall's speed was not Even though he is slow, his physical fitness is quite good.
Although Randall's effect is not very good, it is definitely better than Ingram. After this substitution, Butler's scoring momentum slowed down slightly.
But even so, the Lakers failed to take the lead in the first quarter. At the end of the first quarter, the two sides reached a 30:30 tie. Li Hao not only scored 2 points more than Butler, but his other statistics were much better than Butler.
5 assists, 4 rebounds, 1 steal, and 1 block. In addition to the data, there are also things that the data cannot reflect, such as scheduling and sorting, but Rondo also did a good job at this point.
In addition to Butler's outstanding performance in being able to tie with the Lakers in the first quarter, Rondo's scheduling and sorting are also very important. This is why Rondo has never lacked a partner.

The Lakers bench once again made a contribution. There was no winner among the main players, but the Lakers bench players had the advantage. The troika of Williams, Russell and Zubac almost defeated the Bulls bench.
At 8 minutes and 01 seconds, the Bulls couldn't bear to replace the main players. The bench was not good, but the main players were still very good. Originally, the Lakers' substitutes had widened the point difference to 12 points. As a result, the main players returned and the score difference fell to 2 minutes. It becomes 6 points.
Fortunately, the main force of the Lakers came back at this time, and as soon as Li Hao returned to the court, he gave the Lakers a reassurance and hit a super long three-pointer near the logo.
Li Hao's performance was not over yet. In the next wave of offense, Li Hao made another three-pointer from a 45-degree angle under the cover of Nance Jr., and the point difference between the two teams returned to 10 points again.
The current Bulls have a very fatal weakness, that is, there are no three-pointers. Everyone knows what Rondo is like. Butler has only averaged about three times per game so far, and Luol Deng is about the same. Among the five Bulls players, The one with the highest three-point shot rate is Mirotic, who entered the NBA in the same year as Li Hao. He averages about five times per game and has a shooting percentage of over 30%.
Therefore, facing Li Hao's consecutive three-pointers, the Bulls were unable to mount an effective counterattack. Especially when Li Hao hit a three-pointer for the third time, the point difference between the two sides directly increased to 12 points.
In this case, the Bulls could only change their tactics. At 3 minutes and 25 seconds, when Li Hao crossed the half court with the ball again, Butler stood in front of Li Hao with his arms spread out.
"Jimmy, didn't you say you won't guard me in this game?" Li Hao asked, looking at Butler who was paying full attention.
"It's none of my business, that guy asked me to come." The "guy" in Butler's mouth was Bulls head coach Hoyinberg.
This season is Butler's last season with the Bulls. Next season he will be traded to the Timberwolves to join his mentor Thibodeau. One of the reasons why Butler left the Bulls was the conflict with the head coach.
Not surprisingly, LaVine will still go to the Bulls, and the Bulls may value LaVine more. LaVine's current performance is better than before. Next, it depends on whether LaVine will be injured.
For LaVine, Li Hao did everything he could and became stronger than before. He even spent two summers helping him gain weight and strengthen his core strength in order to avoid injuries like the original.
Now it depends on whether Raven and Lady Luck are willing to take care of him.
