The Lakers fly to Minnesota Apollo after their game against the Phoenix Suns for Game [-] against the Timberwolves.

The Minnesota Timberwolves selected high school player Kevin Garnett with the fifth pick in the first round of the 1995 draft. After a season of growth, Kevin Garnett quickly became the backbone of the team. Movement and strong defense have become his most important weapons.In the 4 draft, the Timberwolves exchanged with the Milwaukee Bucks for Stephen Marbury, the No. 8 pick in the round. I am very disgusted with the freezing Apolis. In the first regular season game of this season, Marbury started, but was replaced after only playing [-] minutes. The data of two assists and zero points is obviously not enough. Satisfied the team, Marbury didn't even enter the roster in the second game against the Lakers.

In the end, the game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the New York Knicks ended with the Lakers' victory. Relying on O'Neal's outstanding performance, the Lakers won 98-92 at home.

Liu Han scored more than 10 points and more than 3 assists in the first three games of the Lakers. This made the Lakers fans who followed Liu Han very excited. They felt that the Lakers made a lot of money in this draft. A player selected with the 24th pick in the first round played second place and No. [-], but Kobe Bryant, who was traded for Divac, was not so satisfactory.

Kobe, who is only 18 years old, has never experienced a college career. His talent is indeed unparalleled, but in terms of character, he still lacks a lot. At least in getting along with his teammates, he seems a bit aloof.Liu Han's excellent performance when he came off the bench also made Kobe even more depressed. He felt that he had already surpassed this Oriental, but the reality hit him hard. He himself was still struggling for a chance to play. But the opponent has already become an important firepower on the team's bench.

Immediately after the Lakers' game against the New York Knicks, they faced back-to-back challenges from the Charlotte Hornets at home.Before the start of the game, the team's main point guard, Van Exel, felt uncomfortable in the waist. As the team's main attack point and offensive organizer on the outside, coach Del Harris, who has a stable main ball, let Van Exel rest. Liu Han unexpectedly got the chance to start at home.

Knowing that Liu Han will start the game, LaBeouf's family went out to cheer for Liu Han. Liu Han's former teammate Paul Pierce also received a free ticket from Liu Han.

At the beginning of the game, Liu Han was in charge of guarding the opponent's point guard Anthony Goldwyer, and Liu Han had an absolute advantage in height and weight.

O'Neal won the jump ball in the middle circle, the Charlotte Hornets played double centers, Matt Geiger and Divac played together, the purpose is to limit O'Neal's performance.After Liu Han received the ball from his teammates, he dribbled the ball forward steadily. Head coach Del Harris arranged to start from the inside at the beginning of the game, relying on O'Neal's outstanding strength to destroy the opponent's inside defense.

After taking the ball to the opponent's half, Liu Han passed the ball to Cedric on the left.As soon as O'Neal got the ball, he began to face the opponent's double-team. At the beginning of the game, O'Neal intended to let the opponent see how good he was. He turned around and attacked the opponent's basket, but O'Neal obviously underestimated Matt Geiger's defensive strength. O'Neal forced the shot, and the ball rolled around the rim before rolling out.Anthony Mason Jr. of the Hornets grabbed the rebound. They did not launch a fast break counterattack. The team played a double center in order to prevent O'Neal. The speed must not keep up with the opponent.

It was easy for Liu Han to defend the opponent's point guard Geldwyer alone, but the Hornets' tactics were very successful. Divac did not enter the interior after a high pick-and-roll, allowing Matt Geiger to attack the interior, and O'Neal could only defend one. Divac can pass the ball, Matt Geiger is better than Lakers power forward Elden Campbell in weight and height, once the inside line is opened, Dell Curry will play a role in the outside line.

The Hornets' first offense was completed, Matt Geiger singled Eldon Campbell successfully, 0 to 2.

After receiving the serve from the bottom line, Liu Han advanced to the frontcourt and hoisted the ball into the inside line again. O'Neill was a little bit worried about not scoring the last ball, so he took the initiative to ask Liu Han for the ball.

O'Neal's attack finally came to fruition. He swayed Matt Geiger who was defending him through his nimble footsteps, dunked and scored two points, 2-2.

Back to defend, the Hornets once again pulled O'Neal inside, Matt Geiger forced Campbell, Eddie Jones was ready to double-team, Matt Geiger distributed the ball to the outside shooter Dell Curry, the latter scored with a knife Three points, 2 to 5.

Liu Han dribbled the ball into the frontcourt again. This time he faked the ball into the interior and then pulled up a jumper. The opponent's point guard was nearly ten centimeters shorter than Liu Han. Facing Liu Han's quick shot Three-pointer Goldwyer was powerless.The score was tied at 5-5.

Liu Han's bold shot won cheers from the Lakers fans on the sidelines.

The game entered a stalemate from the very beginning. The Hornets' defense against O'Neal was in place, and they played very calmly in the offense and never shot easily.On the Lakers side, although the power forward position is not dominant, Liu Han and Eddie Jones are still better than the opponent's perimeter on the perimeter, and the scores of the two teams rose alternately.

Liu Han was replaced at 9 minutes into the first quarter. Coach Del Harris was really "stable".It was Kobe Bryant who replaced Liu Han.

In fact, before the start of this game, head coach Del Harris received an order from general manager Jerry West to try his best to train Kobe Bryant. Although Coach Del was not very happy, he still agreed. It is the strength of coach Del Harris, and it is also his biggest shortcoming.

After the two teams gradually replaced the substitutes, the Lakers fell into a disadvantage. The substitute point guard Lumir Robinson owed both businessmen and money.Veteran Byron Scott is getting old. After playing, he directly turned into a defensive black hole. Faced with the situation on the court, Coach Del still insisted on being "stable". This made Liu Han, who was sitting off the court, feel for the first time that his former head coach George Clent is such a standout.

Five minutes into the second quarter, Coach Harris replaced Liu Han.After playing the field, Liu Han quickly showed his strength. He first stabilized the situation on the field by two consecutive three-pointers, and then stole the opponent's pass and assisted O'Neal with an alley-oop dunk. In just 5 minutes, the score on the field was With a score of 2 to 31, the Lakers were only three points behind.

Facing the opponent's double interior configuration, coach Harris obviously lacked any changes. He still insisted on letting the team play the interior. At the end of the halftime, the scores of the two teams were tied again, 45 to 45.

At the beginning of the second half, the Hornets' shooter Dell Curry suddenly showed his power. He hit two consecutive three-pointers to open the score between the two teams again.Liu Han hit back his opponent with a three-pointer, biting the score tightly. The Lakers, who couldn't open the inside line, also began to miss the outside line. Except for Liu Han who maintained his outstanding performance, the other players collectively turned into blacksmiths.

Charlotte, Dell Curry's home, eight-year-old Stephen Curry watched his father's game in front of the TV. He found that his father's shooting could not keep up with a yellow man he had never seen before. Strangely, in his image, his father's shooting is so powerful, definitely the best in the NBA. Liu Han's accurate three-pointer left a deep impression on the eight-year-old Stephen Curry.

When the game entered the third quarter, the Lakers were already 8 points behind their opponents. The Lakers, who came off the bench, were once again attacked by the opponent. When the game entered the middle of the fourth quarter, the Lakers were already 15 points behind their opponents. Although Liu Han In the end, relying on three-pointers, the gap in the score was reduced to less than ten, but the teammates were helpless.
