Chapter 84 Consecutive 40+, shocking the entire league
Liu Han scored 2 points in a single game against the Cavaliers on February 19th, allowing him to continue to occupy the focus of attention after the All-Star three-point contest. Few rookies can do this when they first joined the NBA. Outstanding performance, the last player who could conquer the audience and the media in his rookie season was the legendary star "Magic" Johnson of the Lakers.

After a day off, the Lakers continued to sit at home to face the challenge of the Vancouver Grizzlies. This team, which had only been established for two years, chose Sherif Abdurrahim with the third pick in the first round of the 96 NBA Draft. A hopeful star who joined the team immediately became the offensive and defensive core of the team inside and outside, and he is also a strong contender for the best rookie of the year.

Liu Han's starting position is now unbreakable, unless he himself is injured, or the Lakers without O'Neal will never put him off the court, this will be scolded by fans and sponsors, Liu Han is now a fan and an advertiser However, Liu Han did not rashly sign the advertising agreement under the suggestion of his agent Helga. Helga hoped that Liu Han could further consolidate his position and then sign a big contract.

At the beginning of the game, Liu Han directly started the scoring mode. The Grizzlies point guard Greg Anthony is only 1.8 meters tall, and Liu Han can directly ignore the opponent's defense.

Liu Han played 10 minutes in the first quarter, made 5 of 4 three-pointers, and scored 20 points with a sudden shot. In the first quarter, the Lakers led 29 to 19 by [-] points.

In the first half of the second quarter, Liu Han took a break, and the Lakers fell into a scoring shortage from the bench. The Grizzlies' core Rahim did not take a break, leading the team to an offensive climax, scoring 8 points in 20 minutes, leading the score by 7 points in one fell swoop.

Liu Han scored two consecutive three-pointers to stabilize the situation after his reappearance, and then went inside and caused a foul by Grizzlies center Bryant Reeves. After making a free throw, the Lakers led by one point.Next, Kobe Bryant, who came off the bench, also succeeded in consecutive breakthroughs, scoring four points with a mid-range shot and free throws. At the end of halftime, the Lakers entered the second half with a 45-42 lead by three points.

The game continued in the second half, and Liu Han once again showed his dribbling skills. He used the dribble to sway the Grizzlies point guard Greg Anthony, and then when the opponent jumped up and tried to block Liu Han's shot fake, Liu Han deliberately leaned towards Anthony's body caused a foul, and Liu Han's reluctant three-pointer accidentally hit the board, 3 plus 1. Liu Han's miraculous performance made the fans even shout the MVP slogan.

Next, Greg Anthony, who was a little bit annoyed, tried to return Liu Han in the offense, but he underestimated Liu Han's defensive attitude and speed. In the end, Anthony, who wasted most of the offensive time, could only barely make a shot, and the basketball flew directly out of the baseline.

Liu Han received the serve from the baseline and quickly advanced to the frontcourt. The team's current starting center, Tyrese Knight, took the initiative to cover for Liu Han.Tyris Knight knew very well that the core of the current team was Liu Han, and he didn't have the courage and strength to put on airs for Liu Han.

Liu Han relied on the cover to get rid of Anthony's defense and went directly to the inside. The Grizzlies Rahim tightly defended Liu Han from the side.Liu Han dribbled the ball to a sudden stop and made a shooting action. Raheem was inexperienced and jumped up to try to block the shot. Liu Han withdrew his shooting hand and turned around to avoid Raheem's defense and hit a mid-range shot. This is what Liu Han did yesterday The movements I learned while watching Michael Jordan's video tapes, I didn't expect to be so effective today.

Next, the Grizzlies will not be outdone and continue to attack the Lakers inside. Although Raheem is also a rookie, his performance is extremely mature. As long as the Lakers have weaknesses inside, he will be able to catch them immediately. The Grizzlies rely on Raheem's outstanding performance. It didn't let the Lakers open the score.

Liu Han still controls the ball in the game. Some words from Coach George have further deepened his understanding of basketball. Facing the Grizzlies single-defense Liu Han will play hard, but as long as the opponent double-teams Liu Han, he will immediately Pass the ball to the Lakers open player.

At the end of the third quarter, Liu Han scored 16 points again. In addition, he also sent 5 assists in a single quarter. The Lakers once again pulled the gap to more than 10 points.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Liu Han took a rest, and the Lakers were approached by the opponent. As long as Liu Han does not play, the current Lakers will be a third-rate team in the league.

Liu Han appeared again with 7 minutes left in the game. The unreasonable three-pointer and sharp and gorgeous breakthrough made the Grizzlies hard to defend. With 3 minutes left in the game, the Lakers once again widened the gap to [-] points .

In the end, the Lakers won the game without bloodshed. Liu Han played 35 minutes and scored 49 points and 8 assists. The Lakers also won the game 104-91.

Liu Han scored more than 40 points in two consecutive games, which made many media more optimistic about Liu Han's future. This young man who was almost ignored in the draft is now the hottest star in the league. Even the Bulls The limelight was temporarily suppressed by Liu Han's light.

However, Liu Han made a lot of shots in these two games, and some media who still discriminate against Liu Han's skin color criticized Liu Han as a cancer, occupying most of the shooting rights, which is not conducive to the performance of other players in the team.The intentions of these media are sinister, they are trying to provoke the Lakers infighting.

However, the media in Los Angeles refuted this point of view. The Los Angeles Post commented that although Liu Han took up a large part of his shots, his shooting percentage always exceeded 60%. If any player can have such a shooting percentage, I believe everyone The current head coach will give this player unlimited shots. Now that Liu Han only scored more than 40 points, it should be because he is controlling the number of shots he takes, otherwise Liu Han can get [-] or even [-] points.

The domestic media also began to report on Liu Han's deeds. At this time, the domestic media did not use novelty as a selling point like later generations. They paid more attention to Liu Han's identity and his childhood experience. Orphans can now leave their footprints in the highest hall of basketball, which has made most Chinese people fall in love with Liu Han.

The fire of Liu Han in the United States also made Safina gradually attract the attention of the media. Two small-produced Hollywood films tried to invite Safina to join, but Safina refused because they had not completed their studies. The young man and woman who had just lived together Still reluctant to leave each other.

After a day off, the Lakers continued to sit at home against the New York Knicks.

The Knicks have greatly improved their record after Patrick Ewing returned from injury. The current score of 39 wins and 15 losses ranks second in the Eastern Conference, second only to the Chicago Bulls.

Facing the Knicks with Gorilla Ewing on the inside, coach Harris tried to make a fuss on the outside in this game. He changed Liu Han's position to shooting guard, and Van Exel started again as point guard.

At the beginning of the game, Van Exel tried to prove to the audience that he was better than Liu Han, but his hand feeling was really bad today, and he missed even one of the first 5 shots.

Liu Han didn't get too many shots in the first quarter. He has gradually become accustomed to playing with the ball in his hands, and now he feels very depressed waiting for the pass.

The Lakers only scored 18 points in the first quarter, and Liu Han scored 9 points. There were not many chances to make random moves, but Liu Han seized the opportunity. The other Lakers players only scored 9 points.However, the Knicks didn't feel good at the beginning of this game, and they only scored 20 points.

Entering the second quarter, Coach Harris finally came to his senses. He replaced Van Exel and let Liu Han continue to control the ball.

With the ball in his hands, Liu Han finally began to show his power. Facing the Knicks' backup point guard John Starks, Liu Han seemed to be able to do a job with ease.Liu Han played the entire second quarter, making 4 of 4 three-pointers and scoring 17 points.The Lakers also improved under the leadership of Liu Han. At the end of the halftime, the Lakers led 48 to 44 by 4 points.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Liu Han took a break, and the Knicks took the opportunity to play an offensive climax. Ewing dominated the inside, and Alan Houston made a perfect shot. They opened up the Lakers by 6 points in 10 minutes.

Coach Harris, who couldn't sit still, replaced Liu Han again. The only point that the team can guarantee efficiency now is Liu Han.

Liu Han quickly stabilized the situation after he came on the court. He first fouled the Knicks starting point guard Chris Childs and got three free throws in the offense, and then successfully intercepted the opponent's pass in the defense. Hit, less than 2 minutes, the Lakers pulled the score to only four points.

The Knicks have since strengthened their defense against Liu Han, and they cannot allow Liu Han to wreak havoc on their perimeter.

Liu Han, who attracted the opponent's double-team, passed a lot of good shots in a timely manner. Eldon Campbell started to play. He first hit two points in the mid-range shot, and then hit Charles Oakley to score 2 plus 1.

The Knicks who double-teamed Liu Han had no choice but to give up double-teaming. The recovery of other Lakers players was more terrifying than Liu Han alone. If the overall attack is smooth, it will be difficult for the Knicks to resist.

At the end of the third quarter, the two teams tied at 68.Liu Han only scored 17 points in three quarters, which is not far behind his performance in previous games.

Entering the fourth quarter, Liu Han finally began to show his powerful firepower. He turned into a long-range turret, and his three-pointers were as accurate as laser-guided missiles. The Knicks were not to be outdone. Tyrese Knight's five fouls had to end the game to rest.

Liu Han stood up again at the critical moment. He once again swayed Chris Childs from the outside to score three plus one. The Lakers always led the score.

Entering the last 2 minutes, the Lakers still led by five points.Alan Houston of the Knicks stood up. He first hit a three-pointer, and then took advantage of his teammates to double-team Liu Han to pass the ball from Liu Han to Eldon Campbell. He broke the fast break and scored. With 1 minute left in the game, the Knicks evened the score.

Harris called a timeout and arranged the team's final tactics.After Liu Han received a pass from his teammate on the sideline, he shot a three-pointer directly. The attack time was less than 10 seconds, so that the Lakers could make at least two offenses in the final time.

After serving from the bottom line, the Knicks quickly advance to the frontcourt. Ewing wants to occupy the position inside. The ball tries to pass to Alan Houston on the outside.

After Kobe gave up his defense against Alan Houston, Liu Han quickly ran towards him. He now knew very well that Charles, who he was defending, had almost no three-point ability, and Alan Houston was the most accurate outside Knicks.

Liu Han's judgment was very accurate. After he intercepted the opponent's pass, he quickly advanced to the frontcourt. The Knicks desperately returned to defense. Losing at the last moment of the game will make everyone very disappointed.

After Liu Han entered the three-point line, he stopped suddenly and made a shot. Alan Houston behind him flew out in an instant, and then Liu Han easily made a jumper and hit a mid-range shot. There were less than 40 seconds left in the game. The Lakers The team led by 5 points and almost had the victory in their hands.

The Knicks tried to use foul tactics at the last moment, but the Lakers' free throws were very stable without O'Neal. In the end, the Lakers won the final victory 117-110.Liu Han played 38 minutes, scored 44 points, and scored 27 points in the last quarter.
