Chapter 71 Hurricane December

Liu Han was nominated for the best rookie of the month, which made the fans of the Lakers rejoice. Although he failed to win this honor in the end, Liu Han's performance in the second half of November was obvious to all. Van Exel finally let the Lakers Fans and the media are beginning to feel bored. If a person regards being overbearing as an honor, it can only be said that he is either a brain-dead or a hero.

On December 1996, 12, the Lakers visited the Plateau to challenge the Denver Nuggets.CCTV will also broadcast the game live.

Liu Han got the opportunity to start in this game. Van Exel's brain-twitch shooting finally made coach Harris feel a little unreliable. Liu Han's performance in the first few games was enough to make Van Exel Searle sits on the bench.

Antonio McDyess, who was selected by the Nuggets last season with the second pick, has grown rapidly and is now the team's starting power forward.Mark Jackson, who was very unhappy with the Indiana Pacers last season, switched to Denver this season. After he arrived, he became the team's starting point guard.The starting center of the Nuggets is the blue-collar player Elvin Johnson, a pure blue-collar who can hardly shoot.

From the perspective of the lineup, the Lakers have the advantage.After Liu Han played, he had an advantage over Mark Jackson. The former New York point guard who was born in Brooklyn, New York, grew up in Brooklyn, and became famous in New York was much weaker than Liu Han physically, but he was in this game But it left a deep impression on Liu Han.

Mark Jackson used his skillful dribbling and imaginative passing to drive the entire Nuggets team. Although Liu Han defended very well, making it almost impossible for Mark Jackson to take shots, he could always use the pass to tear apart the Lakers' defense .

The game was inextricably played in the first 5 minutes, and the two sides tied 9-9.In the next game, Liu Han broke out suddenly. He first received O'Neal's point and hit a three-pointer in the offense, and then he intercepted Mark Jackson's pass and fast break layup in defense to score two plus one.

After Liu Han opened up the situation from the outside, the Nuggets did not dare to double-team O'Neal inside. O'Neal succeeded in hitting the inside continuously, and the gap in the score gradually widened.After Liu Han gradually adapted to Mark Jackson's rhythm, his defensive power began to show. Without Mark Jackson's pass, the Nuggets began to fight as if they had lost their soul.The Lakers seized the opportunity to further widen the gap.

After Liu Han successfully defended against Mark Jackson, he also started his hurricane. He played the entire first quarter, and made 4 of 4 three-pointers to make the Nuggets slammed.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led their opponents by 24 points relying on Liu Han's outstanding performance in both offense and defense. The Nuggets did not score a point in the last 7 minutes of the first quarter. Start booing the home team.

In the second quarter, Liu Han rested, Van Exel led the bench, Kobe was abandoned again, and veteran Byron Scott went into battle.

In the second quarter, the Nuggets' substitutes brought the score back a bit. Van Exel seemed to stick to his own style, making all kinds of unreasonable shots, and it was fine if he scored, but he made 16 of 3 shots in the game. I'm really sorry for the audience.

At the end of halftime, the Lakers ended the first half with a 59-46 lead.

In the second half, Liu Han appeared again. The sharp three-pointers and jellyfish-style defense made Mark Jackson irritated. Liu Han once again made four of 5 three-pointers in a single quarter, plus a counter-attack layup and four free throws. Liu Han Scored 18 points in a single quarter, which excited the Chinese audience in front of the TV. They felt that their compatriots' outstanding performance proved the glory of China.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers once again widened the gap to 23 points. In the fourth quarter, Liu Han did not play again. The Lakers relied on substitutes to maintain their advantage and finally beat their opponents by 109 points 92-17.Liu Han scored 32 points and 11 assists. His eye-catching performance made Nuggets fans envious. The Nuggets management also began to regret their selection in this year's draft. They had chosen Liu Han with the 23rd pick.

After a day's rest, the Lakers rushed to Seattle to challenge the Seattle SuperSonics away. Liu Han failed to start again in this game, and Van Exel returned to the starting position.

In this game, O'Neal showed off his power, scoring 37 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists. Van Exel recovered, scoring 13 points on 6 of 18 shots and 4 of [-] three-pointers.

Liu Han played for 17 minutes and scored [-] points on five of five three-pointers. In this game, Liu Han was placed at the shooting guard. Kobe Bryant returned to Los Angeles directly due to injury. The team's shooting guard Only the veteran Byron Scott was left in the position, and Liu Han had no choice but to take the top position. Now Byron Scott basically has no way to last a game.Liu Han returned to the shooting guard position and showed his running ability. He played this position when he first entered the NCAA, receiving passes from his teammates and shooting three-pointers. He did a good job today, assigning O'Neal to the outside Several passes all turned into scoring.

In the end, the game ended with the victory of the Lakers.

After this game, Liu Han once again became the focus of media attention, because the media found that the current player with the highest three-point shooting percentage in the league is a rookie.Liu Han's amazing three-point shooting rate made the media exclaim a miracle.

After returning to Los Angeles, the Lakers took a day off to face the challenge of the Utah Jazz. The Jazz players were quite unconvinced by Liu Han's lore last time in Salt Lake City. They didn't think how good a rookie could be.

In this game, Liu Han started again. It seems that Coach Harris intends to let Liu Han and Van Exel start in turn.

Liu Han was targeted in this game. Stockton was too short to pose a threat to Liu Han. Jerry Sloan arranged for the team's shooting guard to defend Liu Han.

But what coach Jerry Sloan didn't expect was that Liu Han showed his amazing shooting ability in this game.Liu Han hit 4 three-pointers in the first quarter, making Jeff Hornacek, who was defending him, ashamed.

In the second quarter, the Jazz still relied on their pick-and-roll tactics to launch a counterattack against the Lakers. Karl Malone's precise mid-range shot also caused a lot of trouble for the Lakers.

After Liu Han left the field, Van Exel once again showed people what it means to be mentally disabled. He tried to shoot three-pointers through Stockton's defense four times in a row, but none of them hit.

Bryant came off the bench again after being sidelined by the coach for two games, and he began to change his style of play, adding more passes.

At halftime, the Lakers led by three points.

Entering the third quarter, Liu Han appeared again. He first broke through the Jazz's defense and went inside to assist O'Neal for dunks, and then hit two consecutive three-pointers, gradually widening the gap between the two teams.

Jerry Sloan was in trouble facing Liu Han. Those who were tall enough to defend against Liu Han were not as fast as Liu Han, and those who could keep up with him were not as tall as Liu Han. Moreover, Liu Han's passing was also very good, and his vision was very wide. The control of the rhythm is also top-notch, why didn't he discover such an outstanding player earlier, Jerry Sloan thought in his heart.

The game entered the fourth quarter, and Liu Han still stayed on the court. Coach Harris did not dare to let Liu Han take a rest, because the score gap between the two teams was very small.

After Liu Han entered the fourth quarter, he hit two three-pointers again, gradually widening the gap between the two teams. The Jazz were not to be outdone, and Jeff Hornacek also responded with a three-pointer to cling to the score.

It wasn't until the last 5 minutes of the game that the Lakers gradually expanded their advantage. O'Neal blew up the opponent's inside line and sent off six fouls. Now only Karl Malone is left alone to support.

In the last 3 minutes, Liu Han hit two three-pointers again, turning the advantage into a victory. Finally, relying on Liu Han's 10 three-pointers, the Lakers won the game 107-101. Liu Han scored 34 points. Let everyone sigh his precise shooting.

After the game, Liu Han became famous all over the United States. His 10 three-pointers in a single game ranked second in the NBA record, and he was one short of Dennis Scott's record of 11 three-pointers in a single game.However, Liu Han still set a record in this game. He broke the NBA record by hitting 10 consecutive three-pointers in a single game.But what attracts the media's attention is Liu Han's super high shooting rate so far. In the history of the NBA, there has never been an outside player with such a high shooting rate.

The Lakers took a day off and went to Orlando to challenge the Magic on December 12. O'Neal was booed by Magic fans as soon as he played. In their eyes, O'Neal was a traitor who ran away for money, Judas.

Liu Han came off the bench again this time. Facing the Orlando Magic without "Penny" Hardaway, the Lakers played with ease.

Van Exel finally stopped making wild shots today. He focused on assists and scored 12 assists in this game. Liu Han was replaced after only 14 minutes of playing. The head coach seems to start pursuing "stability" again .

O'Neal didn't play very hard in this game. After all, he stayed in the Magic for four full years, and he is still very grateful to the city.

Kobe was dropped again, he was dropped in Los Angeles and did not come to Orlando with the team.

刘汉出场十4分钟拿下12分，3助攻。奥尼尔全场拿下25分18个篮板，范埃克塞尔拿下20分12次助攻，湖人队全队上双6人。

In the end, the Lakers won the game without bloodshed, and the Magic sent away O'Neal and the Lakers amidst the boos of the fans.

Liu Han has been performing better and better since December. As long as his playing time is stable, he can score high points. This has caused many fans to pay attention to the Lakers and Liu Han. Although Iverson's performance is very good, but In terms of efficiency, Liu Han's performance is better. For a while, there are different opinions on who can win this year's best rookie. Of course, the media in Los Angeles hope that Liu Han can be elected. This player from UCLA was praised by Los Angeles fans and media See it as one of our own.

　Three more, please collect, please recommend, your support is the motivation for me to persevere.
