Almighty legend life

Chapter 198
After winning the game against the Detroit Pistons, the Lakers won their No.60 regular season five games, and the next seven games will end the entire regular season, and the Lakers are moving towards their goal.

After Liu Han came back, the Lakers regained their vitality. Although the Lakers did a good job during the two-month suspension of Liu Han, they still lacked a kind of arrogance to control the game. O'Neal is very strong inside, but It is not enough to change the temperament of the entire team. Only Liu Han can make the Lakers look comfortable in the game, just like the game against the Pistons. Too flustered.

Originally, at the beginning of the season, the Lakers' hiring of George Crent, who had no NBA coaching experience, was considered a failure by many people. Moreover, the Lakers team in last year's finals was split and many players were traded. O'Neal and Liu Han, in the eyes of many commentators and reporters, are symbols of the rebuilding of the Lakers. They predict that it will be difficult for the Lakers to achieve good results in the regular season this season, but now absolutely no one will say that the Lakers are no good.Throughout the season, the Lakers swept almost all other teams and achieved an astonishing winning percentage, and they also broke the nearly 30-year NBA winning streak, successfully engraving this Lakers team in NBA history. .Now, Liu Han is back, leading this kingly team towards their goal.

Next, the Lakers ushered in the challenge of the Vancouver Grizzlies at home after returning to Los Angeles to rest for two days.

The Grizzlies continue their poor journey this season. This team, which only joined the league in 95, is currently the youngest team. The center Bryant Rivers was selected. This high center, who is 1995 meters tall and weighs close to 270 pounds, once played against Liu Han when he was studying at Oklahoma State University.The Grizzlies won the No. 96 pick in the second year of the draft. They selected the star of hope, Sherif Rahim. Rahim was reused as soon as he entered the Grizzlies. Compete with Iverson for the best rookie of the 97-[-] season.

Although the Grizzlies have many outstanding young people and role players, the style of the entire team has not yet been established, and the coaching staff and management are quite chaotic, so they have been favorable contenders for the No. [-] pick in the past few seasons.In addition, the basketball atmosphere in Vancouver is really not that good. Their stadium attendance has been the lowest in the league year after year, and fans often defect at home.Take Liu Han as an example, as long as he goes to Vancouver to participate in the game, the local Chinese will turn the Grizzlies' home court into Liu Han's home court. Whenever Liu Han scores a goal, the Chinese fans will make the Grizzlies' home court resound with MVP shouts .

Facing such an underdog team, the Lakers played extremely easily. Liu Han and O'Neal only played 28 minutes and 10 minutes respectively before taking a break. Most of the time was played by the Lakers' substitutes and young players.

Although Sharif Rahim performed well, scoring 26 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, the Lakers had no choice but to score in double figures. Liu Han and O'Neal scored 37 points. The Grizzlies were defeated by the Lakers. Blood abuse [-] points.

After a day off, the Lakers continued to sit at home to meet the challenge of the Phoenix Suns.

The Suns can be described as a dark horse in the West this season. Although they also reached the playoffs last season, their winning percentage was less than 94%, and they only ranked seventh in the West. With few players, it was considered a lottery team at the beginning of last season, but what people did not expect was that the Suns led the way with Jason Kidd, the No. Strong opponents, coupled with the outstanding performance of veterans Rex Chapman and Kevin Johnson, they have achieved a good result of 95 wins and 51 losses so far. The teams are too strong, maybe the Suns can get a better ranking.

Steve Nash bloomed after leaving the Suns to join the Lakers. He used his passing and shooting to make the Suns management regret, but with the rise of Jason Kidd, the Suns Management no longer cares so much about losing Nash.

Although Jason Kidd's scoring ability is much weaker than Steve Nash's, he is very strong defensively. He often succeeds in small defenses. Generally, guards with poorer physical conditions cannot face Kidd's defense at all.Therefore, this game is not a small test for Nash. Whether he can prove himself in front of Kidd is worth waiting for the fans.

In terms of inside, Antonio McDyess, the No. 95 pick in the [-] draft of the Suns, has strong physical fitness and good foot movement, but he is much weaker than O'Neal in terms of strength. There are no other strong defensive points outside, and the Suns suffer a lot inside.

As long as Liu Han is included in the outside line comparison, the Lakers can be said to be the team with the strongest outside firepower in the league. Except for O'Neal and Elden Campbell, who has not yet recovered from injury, the other players in the entire team have a certain level of strength. Three-point ability, coupled with coach George Krent's emphasis on the importance of three-pointers since he entered the Lakers, it can be said that the Lakers are now the team with the most three-point shooters in the league.

This game was held on April 1998, 4. After the start of the game, the Lakers first killed the Suns from the inside, and the Suns also seized Nash's defensive weakness and let Kidd single-handed Nash. The Suns did not let the Lakers easily to open the score.

At 6 minutes into the first quarter, Nash was replaced. After Liu Han started to control the ball, the Lakers began to gradually open the score.

In the second quarter, Nash reappeared. He led the Lakers to play a high-speed offensive frenzy off the bench, expanding the gap between the two teams to more than 15 points in one fell swoop.

In desperation, the Suns had no choice but to let the main force return early. George Crent also sent Liu Han and other players very specifically. The Lakers kept suppressing the score.

At halftime, the Lakers led by 17 points into the second half.

After the start of the second half, the two veteran players of the Suns, Rex Chapman and Kevin Johnson, suddenly broke out. These two old players, both in their 30s, gave the Lakers a head-on blow from beyond the three-point line.

However, under the leadership of Liu Han, the Lakers are still playing very strong. They have committed three fouls against the Suns inside and frequently attacked the Suns inside. Antonio McDyess was first replaced because of 4 fouls, and then Clifford Germany was also replaced because of too many fouls, so the Suns collapsed inside, and the Lakers took advantage of the situation to continue to widen the score gap.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers returned to widen the gap to more than [-] points.

Entering the fourth quarter, both teams were playing on the bench first. Nash began to show the results of his recent three-point practice.

In the end, the Suns gave up the game with 4 minutes left in the game, and they trailed the Lakers by 23 points.

The Lakers increased their regular-season wins to 67 after defeating the Suns, and they will tie the Bulls' record of 72 wins with five games left.
