Since entering December, the Lakers' record has been a rollercoaster. After successive defeats against the Kings and Nets, the Lakers immediately flew to Philadelphia and then won another victory.
This is another contest between rookies in 2014. Embiid finally made his debut this season after lying down for two seasons, and he also performed well.
I have to say that 2014 can indeed be called a big year for the draft, and even a year of overflowing talent, but unfortunately, injuries ruined too many players this year.
Take No. 2 overall pick Jabari Parker. In the first two seasons, he suffered serious injuries whenever he was about to gain momentum, and his frail body eventually made this talented No. 2 pick eclipse everyone.
Then there is Embiid. The first few seasons after entering the league are very important for rookies, but the Emperor was stunned for two seasons and still played at the top level. From this, it can also be seen that the Emperor's talent has indeed exploded.
What's more, there is still Li Hao, and there is no one. Li Hao is still the first rookie in 2014. In his first season, Li Hao produced All-Star level data. In his second season, he even created the myth of a triple-double. In the third season, not only did Li Hao's personal data soar, but the team's record also began to soar.
In the game against the 76ers, Li Hao taught the rookie Embiid how to behave. Li Hao rewarded Embiid with two hot shots throughout the game. He was unwilling to try to regain face from Li Hao, but was directly beaten by Li Hao. Give it a buckle.
In this game, the emperor can be said to be completely defeated.
……………………………………………
After three consecutive wins, there was a second consecutive loss. After the game against the 76ers, the Lakers came to Cleveland, and then they were pressed to the ground by James and rubbed against him.
The Cavaliers' Big Three performed very well in this game. Coupled with Jr. Smith's accurate three-pointer in this game, even Nick Young returned from injury and could not help the Lakers win the game.
In this game, Lao James’ son Bronny came to support his idol. Who is Bronny’s idol? Just look at the shoes Brownie is wearing.
In the second generation of Ritian, the new emperor ascended the throne.
I don’t know if it was because of Brownie, but the old man performed particularly hard in this game and even took the initiative to defend Li Hao, but this still couldn’t stop Li Hao from scoring.
It's a pity that the other Lakers players did not perform well, and the consecutive away games still had a certain impact on the players, especially since the Lakers are still a team with many rookies.
This state continued into the next game against the Hornets. Although Russell returned from injury in this game, his state was very poor.
On the contrary, the players on the Hornets are in very good condition, especially the star Kemba Walker. In this game, Kemba Walker almost scored a triple-double under Li Hao's defense, which shows how good Kemba Walker is today.
However, Li Hao's performance was not bad. When his teammates' status fluctuated, Li Hao was as stable as a machine, scoring 33 points, 9 assists, and 6 rebounds.

"Li should be more selfish." The four giants on TNT sat together again.
"Indeed, when his teammates are not in good condition, Lee should take action himself. He has the ability," Ernie Johnson agreed.
"No, I disagree with your point of view. The Lakers are a young team with great potential. There are many rookies in the team, and if the rookies want to grow, they must be given a certain amount of ball rights." O'Neal experienced this personally. At the beginning, he waited Kobe Bryant for several seasons.
"Indeed, I believe no one will doubt Li's ability, but no matter how strong Li is, he still needs helpers, and these talented rookies will be Li's best helpers in the future," Kenny Smith said.
"Hey, man, don't forget, that's the Los Angeles Lakers." The Lakers have a tradition of cultivating outside players, and they also have a tradition of digging up finished inside players.
On this issue, Barkley and Ernie Johnson teamed up, and O'Neal and Kenny Smith had a very stimulating discussion. Anyway, in the end the two sides still couldn't convince each other.
This situation even quickly spread to the Internet. Lakers fans were the first to join the discussion group, and then Li Hao's personal fans joined in, and even some celebrities came to join in the fun.
Amid intense discussions outside, the Lakers came to Miami.
……………………………………………………
Wade's first opponent was at the American Airlines Center. Wade has been playing for this team since he was drafted into the league by the Heat with the fifth overall pick in 2003.
Wade did not achieve one man, one city, but it is very valuable to be effective in a team for 13 seasons. Even the entire league does not have many longer than 13 years, not to mention Wade single-handedly led the Heat. peak.
The Heat entered the league in 1988 and did not win their first championship until Wade's 2005-06 season. The people who led the Heat to the top were Wade and O'Neal.
Since then, the Heat have formed the Big Three and won two more championships, and Wade is still one of the indispensable cores of these two championships.
As far as Wade's achievements are concerned, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first person in the history of the Heat, and based on Wade's achievements and sacrifices for the team, no matter what, he will stay with the Heat forever.
But it's a pity that Wade is facing the coldest old man in the league, Pat Riley.
"Dwyane, how do you feel?" Li Hao couldn't help but ask the moment the plane landed in Miami.
"It's very complicated." Wade's complicated mood was not only reflected in his tone, but also directly on his face.
"You can play however you want tonight, and all of us will cooperate with you." Li Hao did the same thing when playing against the Rockets before, but it was a pity that Howard himself was not strong enough.
"Thank you." As a Lakers player, Wade is very aware of what's going on in the team. Although the Lakers' record has been ups and downs recently, the atmosphere within the team has always been very good. ,
Among them, Li Hao is the biggest contributor, and some people seem to be born to be leaders.
………………………………………………………………..
Although Wade is no longer a player for the Heat, when the Heat DJ introduced Wade again, the American Airlines Center burst into applause and cheers just like it had for the past thirteen years.
After hearing these applause and cheers, Wade was a little confused for a moment, and at the same time he felt a sense of relief in his heart. Now he is indeed no longer a Heat player, but everything he has done for the Heat will always remain with Heat fans. heart.
Sports competition is indeed cruel, but at the same time it is also full of warmth. This is also the most charming part of sports competition. In addition to the fans, all the management of the Heat were here today. Even Pat Riley was sitting on the sidelines. When Wade came on the court, he Telly immediately stood up and applauded him.
In 2003, Pat came to Los Angeles to choose Wade, and in the past summer, he also came to Los Angeles to force Wade away, so this time Wade returned to the American Airlines Center and the media did a lot of manipulation.
However, the media will be disappointed. Wade is not the kind of thorny or loud-mouthed character, while Leli has been playing in the league for decades, and both of them can be called veterans.
