Almighty legend life

Chapter 152
In 1997, Liu Han and Safina spent Christmas alone. Although Safina’s family also celebrates Christmas, Safina’s father is an Orthodox Christian and her mother is a Jew. Neither of them celebrate Christmas. Safina grew up in the United States, and she received a purely American education. Christmas is more like Valentine's Day to Safina.For Liu Han, as long as he can be with Safina every day, every day is Valentine's Day.

This year's Christmas, LaBeouf's family went to Hawaii for vacation, while Safina chose to stay in Los Angeles to accompany Liu Han.Li Rui's couple, LaBeouf's couple and Li Rui's sons and daughters all went to Hawaii.

On the night of Christmas Eve, Liu Han invited Steve Nash's family, Ray Allen's family, O'Neill and his family to a party at his mansion in Beverly Hills. Chef Dongbei made many dumplings, while Safina made her own traditional Jewish food "bagels" and Russian pancakes.Liu Han and several friends chatted and laughed while eating oriental delicacies during the traditional Christian festival. The atmosphere made Liu Han very happy.

After Christmas, Safina rejected the invitations of supporting roles in some small films. She felt that she had already felt a lot about supporting roles, and she didn’t need to continue to be a vase. If there was no suitable role, Safina still wanted to stay in Liu next to Han.

On December 12, the Lakers ushered in the Clippers at home. The current core of the Clippers is Rodney Rogers, and he only scored 26 points in this game under the defense of Liu Han.

For the Lakers, O'Neal scored 44 points and made 23 of 16 shots from the field. More importantly, O'Neal made 15 of 12 free throws in this game, which frightened the commentator White Evans on the spot. Vince asked whether O'Neill had wrist deformity surgery to make his wrist soft again.

Liu Han scored a triple-double again in this game. Although he scored 19 points after scoring, but with 12 assists and 11 rebounds, Liu Han's overall performance is shocking, and some things cannot be shown by statistics, such as Liu Han's Rodney Rogers' defense, and Liu Han's deterrence to the Clippers during offense, Liu Han is like a nuclear bomb, placed there, if the opponent does not have a nuclear bomb, then Liu Han is the most important and powerful threaten.

In the end, the Lakers beat the Clippers by 118 points 98-20.

On December 12th, the Lakers defeated the Celtics again at home. Anthony Walker was amazing in this game. He scored 28 points on 18 of 12 shots, but the strong team cooperation of the Lakers beat the Celtics to nothing Boy, the Lakers beat the Celtics by 30 rebounds and 14 assists, and the Lakers beat the Celtics by 9 points in the final score.Liu Han shot a lot of three-pointers today and scored 27 points.

12月30日，湖人队又以103比80战胜萨克拉门托国王队。刘汉对里奇蒙德的防守很到位，让对方18投仅4中，只拿到了14分，而刘汉自己则拿下了26分和6次助攻。

After this game, all the games of the Lakers in 97 are over. They have not lost a single game in December, and they have completed 12 consecutive victories, surpassing the 24 consecutive victories of the Bucks in the 70-71 season. In the second longest winning streak in league history, ahead of them, only their predecessors Chamberlain and Jerry West created 20 consecutive victories in the 71-72 season.

For a while, the Lakers were in the limelight as the defending champions, and the only one in the league that could pose a threat to the Lakers was the Bulls.

Entering 1998, the Lakers still demonstrated their strength. They shocked the entire league with their sharp offense and wonderful teamwork, as well as the astonishing performance of the two superstars. Moreover, they brought the league New changes, inconvenient defensive tactics were abandoned by more people, and all teams began to pay attention to the role of three-pointers in the game.

1998年1月2日，湖人队又以118比102战胜亚特兰大老鹰队，湖人队全队六人得分上双，三人得分上20。

As the Lakers continued their strong run into the new year, league commissioner David Stern was in trouble.

Entering 1998, a new round of labor negotiations is about to begin. Although Liu Han's appearance prevented the Bulls from successfully defending the title last season, Jordan's status in the Bulls is still very high, and some core members of the team The status of players in the team is also getting higher and higher. The players union has been clamoring to increase the wages of the players, but continuing to increase wages like this, raising the salary cap will damage the interests of the team owners, which will definitely affect the league. operation.

David Stern really admires Liu Han very much now, regardless of other aspects, only Liu Han is doing the work of MVP with the salary of a temporary worker, which makes David Stern appreciate Liu Han very much , Of course, he also knows that if Liu Han re-signs with the Lakers after the end of this season, he will definitely be a newcomer, but for now, Liu Han is still in the interests of the league.And from other aspects, Liu Han, who has never had any scandals, is more positive than many superstars in the league. Compared with Jordan, Liu Han is pure like a saint, which also allows the league to put the image of the NBA in a more correct direction. Promotion, no matter how people appreciate "alternative", mainstream thinking still yearns for light.

The current chairman of the NBA Players Union is Patrick Ewing, a core player of the New York Knicks. This seemingly rough-looking giant is actually a very delicate person. He is good friends with many players in the league.

In fact, David Stern doesn't have much opinion on the players' union. The players just hope to get more money, because after all, this is a youth meal, and not every player can earn enough money when he retires.What David Stern hates most is actually the owners of teams like the New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers and Portland Trail Blazers. They have enough money to attract superstars to join, which makes the salaries of players in the league polarized In my eyes, the final result is that the superstars are grouped together, the stronger the stronger, the weaker the weaker, and eventually the balance of the league will be broken, and the NBA will lose its attractiveness. At that time, it will be the beginning of the NBA's weakness. Well, the last thing I want to see.

The hidden worries encountered by the league will not affect Liu Han, because he doesn't know about it at all. His current thoughts are only to play well, compete for the championship, and then look forward to the opportunity to enter the national team and realize his dream.However, since entering 98, some players who are more familiar with the league have already started to make preparations early. Some players whose contracts are about to expire are no longer in a hurry to prepare for the team to sign, because if they continue to wait for a while, maybe they will Gain more benefits.
