I'm really strong in basketball

Chapter 85
2004 2 Month 28 Day.

The Lakers started another road trip.

The first opponent picked was the Washington Wizards.

The current boss of the Wizards is "General No. 0" Gilbert Arenas.

The third-year Arenas averaged 19.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.9 blocks per game this season, and has quietly risen.

本场比赛，阿里纳斯更是轰下全场最高的35分9篮板4助攻1抢断1盖帽。

此外，杰里·斯塔克豪斯砍下20分5篮板5助攻2抢断1盖帽。

"Parallel champion" Kwame Brown scored an astonishing 18 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists.

Liu He could see clearly off the court that although Kwame Brown was weak, he was definitely talented and his strength was astonishing.

In the hand-to-hand fight with O'Neal, Kwame Brown made O'Neal extremely uncomfortable.

In the end, O'Neal scored 29 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 blocks.

That's right, O'Neal got 2 rebounds in this game.

This may be the lowest rebounding record of O'Neal's entire career.

On the one hand, O'Neal's luck was really bad tonight, and the rebounds went around him.

On the other hand, it also illustrates the ability of Kwame Brown.

不过科比砍下了25分14篮板10助攻的三双数据，14个篮板中，更是包括3个前场篮板。

Relying on the performance of the ok combination, the Lakers and the Wizards fought for four quarters, and did not win until the last moment.

Fans exclaimed: "Without Liu He, it would be so difficult for Kobe and O'Neal to play against the Wizards."

No one expected that Liu He's one-game suspension made the fans realize his importance.

After all, after the All-Star Weekend, Liu He encountered strict defense from his opponents, and his data dropped sharply, while O'Neal and Kobe exploded at every turn.

At that time, everyone was saying that Liu He got the honor of the OK group.

But as soon as the game was over, the sound disappeared immediately.

Whether Liu He is important or not, the process of the game explains everything.

When Liu He was there, the Big Three would clock in and get off work in three quarters.

Without Liu He, the OK team and the Wizards played until the last moment of the game.

When Liu He was interviewed later, he said excitedly: "Thank you O'Neal and Kobe. If they lead the team to solve the game in three quarters, doesn't that mean it's the same with or without me? The boss is definitely not willing to pay my salary in full. "

The reporters were all amused.

At the same time, everyone remembered one thing, Liu He's salary this season is $90.

It is 28/15 of O'Neal and [-]/[-] of Kobe.

Compared with Liu He's performance, Liu He is definitely the king of cost performance this season.

The Lakers are making money!

Liu He has suffered a lot!
But, news came from agent Arne Teren that the negotiations between him and Ferrari had reached a general framework.

Ferrari is willing to give Liu He a very exaggerated endorsement fee.

This allowed Liu He to make up for his injured little heart.

2004 2 Month 29 Day.

Last day of June.

The Lakers ushered in the last game of the month, and Liu He is about to play.

Before the battle, Liu He checked the system.

[Reminder: The Yue Zhan Yue Yong badge has been activated and lasts for 3 minutes. 】

Liu He discovered that his arm span had grown by 1cm.

He was not too surprised. After all, he is not yet 20 years old, and his body is still developing. He will continue to grow in height and wingspan. Generally, his physical development will stop completely at the age of 22.

At the same time, the Lakers released a message on their official website that day.

Liu He has made a total of 212 three-pointers so far this season, ranking No. 11 on the list of three-pointers made in a single season.

According to Liu He's output, he is expected to break the historical record of 267 this season and create a new historical record.

The current holder of this record is the Magic marksman Dennis Scott in the 95-96 season.

The specific list is as follows:

First, Dennis Scott, 267.

Second, George McLeod, 257 credits.

Third, Mucci Blaylock, 231 records.

Fourth, Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, 229 records.

Sixth, Mitch Richmond, 225 records.

Seventh, Antoine Walker, 222 records.

Eighth, Antoine Walker, Mucci Blaylock, 221 records.

Tenth, John Starks, 217 credits.

No.11, Liu He, 212 notes.

The Lakers specially set up a module on the official website to record the number of three-pointers made by Liu He, so as to accompany the fans to witness history.

The Lakers made such a fuss, which made all opponents aware of Liu He's dominance in three-pointers.

……

On this day, the Lakers flew to New Jersey.

That's right, their opponent is the two-time Eastern Conference champion Nets.

The top star of the Nets is Jason Kidd, a very good point guard.

Jason Kidd, Kenyon Martin, and Richard Jefferson are also known as the Nets Trident (old version).

The Nets led by the Trident are considered invincible in the East, but they are naturally not worth mentioning compared to the Lakers.

Nobody believed they could beat the Lakers at all.

After all, in the 2002 finals, the OK combination swept the Nets 4-0, not to mention the current Galacticos Lakers.

But Kenyon Martin said before the game: "The Lakers are not the Lakers in 02. They lost last year's championship. And we are not the Nets in 02. We have become stronger."

This remark made the fans interested.

It seems that the Nets are full of confidence!

Subsequently, Richard Jefferson in the Trident also said: "I am not Peja, I have a better defense, I will not let the rookie score so many points on my head!"

At 7 o'clock that night, the appearance ceremony began, and the starting lineups of both sides were announced.

Lakers:
Fifth position: Shaq O'Neal.

Fourth position: Stanislav Medvedenko.

Number three: Liu He.

Number two: Kobe Bryant.

Number one: Gary Payton.

Nets:
Number five: Jason Collins.

Number four: "The Beast" Kenyon Martin.

Number three: Richard Jefferson.

Number two: Corey "The Mosquito" Kidders.

Number one: "Old Demon" Jason Kidd.

Game start.

O'Neal jumped the ball to win, and the Lakers attacked first.

Payton lobs the ball low to O'Neal.

The Nets immediately double-teamed.

O'Neal held the basketball high, evaded the opponent's press, and then distributed the ball.

As soon as Liu He received the ball, Richard Jefferson rushed out, and directly in front of Liu He.

As we all know, to break through the defense, you have to take a step.Defensive shooting, be close.

Jefferson jumped directly in front of Liu He, and his intention to defend Liu He's shot was very clear.

It seems that Jefferson's rhetoric before the game was not just talk, he did make a lot of preparations for Liu He.

But at this moment, Liu He faltered and directly launched a breakthrough, killing Jefferson in one step.

"So fast!"

Jefferson thought to himself, and turned to chase Liu He, only to find that Liu He had entered the paint area.

Kenyon Martin's footsteps were fast, and he rushed up to defend Liu He.

Liu He took his time and passed the ball to Medvedenko on the baseline.

Medvedenko took the ball, took only one step, and dunked.

boom!
2: 0.

The Nets attack.

Kidd advanced to the frontcourt and played a pick-and-roll with Martin, forcing Medvedenko to switch defenses.

Kidd had a one-on-one military training with Medvedenko. A pass fake tricked Medvedenko, went straight to the basket, and hit the board.

At this moment, a figure caught up with Kidd, grabbed the basketball that Kidd had just thrown, and confiscated it.

Grab the hat!

Seeing this ball, the scalp of New Jersey fans tingled.

What the hell is this?

Not to mention them, even the guys on the Lakers bench jumped up from their seats with their eyes widened.

Fuck, Liu He's ball is too good!

Who said the No. 25 pick has no talent?

Liu He is 204cm tall, with a wingspan of 215cm, and a pair of big hands. His static talent cannot be said to be invincible, but it is also top-notch.

With the recent increase in explosive power, and just turning on the wall-mounted mode, there is such a performance.

As soon as he landed, Liu He's excellent vision had already seen the situation of the entire court clearly, and he immediately passed the ball to Payton.

Payton launched a fast break.

"Mosquito" Kidders was very fast, entangled Peyton tightly.

Payton took his time and threw the ball directly in front of the basket.

The Lakers No. 25 rose from the ground, soared into the sky, caught the ball in the air, and smashed the basketball into the basket viciously with both hands.

boom!
4: 0.

The Lakers bench that had just sat down jumped up again.

Phil laughed and joked, "Don't sit down, you'll save yourself having to jump up later."

This kid is at it again!

The Nets attacked and Kidd forced Payton.

Liu He moved sideways quickly and stood on the line that Kidd broke through.

Kidd, as the top [-], immediately delivered the ball to Jefferson with a touchdown pass.

As soon as Jefferson caught the ball, he rushed to the paint.

Medvedenko defended and delayed Jefferson.

But Jefferson passed Medvedenko by relying on a change of direction, and he went straight to the basket.

At this moment, Liu He came again and slapped Jefferson's shot.

Snapped!
Medvedenko's supplementary defense was unsuccessful, but it delayed Jefferson for a moment, and Liu He took advantage of this time gap to catch up.

Jefferson, who landed, was stunned.

Looking at Liu He again, Jefferson felt the pressure on his face.

"Is this really just a rookie? Or is it the 25th pick?"

too strong!
The ball still belongs to the Nets, but the offensive time is running out.

After passing the ball a few times, he didn't have a good chance, and Kidd forced a shot and missed.

A bunch of monsters under the basket were torn into a ball, and everyone restrained each other.

Liu He seized the opportunity, rushed into the penalty area, received a rebound over everyone's heads, and then launched a fast break himself.

"Mosquito" was the fastest, and followed Liu He tightly.

Liu He didn't care at all, and took the initiative to find a confrontation while walking, bumped away the mosquitoes, and immediately exploded.

boom!
6: 0.

Sure enough, the Lakers bench jumped up again.

In the Continental Arena, New Jersey fans booed, trying to suppress Liu He's momentum and help his team reverse.

However, back to the Nets' offensive round, facing the Lakers' impregnable defense, the Nets once again failed.

The Lakers launched a defensive counterattack, and Kobe found Liu He on the flank while advancing.

Liu He's 45-degree three-point line position, pull up and shoot.

Swish!
and also.

9: 0.

"Liu He is crazy!"

The Lakers bench jumped for the fourth time.

New Jersey fans still booed Liu He, but the sparse boos seemed so pitiful in the huge Continental Arena.

They are desperate!
O'Neal and Kobe didn't even have a chance to make a shot.

A rookie on the Lakers blows up the Nets.

They vaguely remember Kenyon Martin's rhetoric before the game: "They are not the Lakers in 02, and we are not the Nets in 02."

Thinking about it now, what Martin said was not wrong at all.

It's just that the Lakers are stronger than they were in 02.

As for the Nets, in 02 they could still resist under the Lakers, but now they can only lie down and enjoy.

Coach Lawrence Frank called a timeout, intending to interrupt Liu He's invincible state.

After returning from the timeout, "Mosquito" Kidders received Kidd's pass and hit a mid-range jumper.

Swish!
9: 2.

The Nets players breathed a sigh of relief, and finally recovered a mouthful of blood.

New Jersey fans also began to cheer for the home team under the organization of the live DJ.

"Nets, defend!"

"Defense, Nets!"

"Nets, defend!"

……

Lakers offense.

Medvedenkola went to the outside line and helped Liu He make a cover.

Liu He took the opportunity to get rid of Jefferson, quickly ran out of space, and received a pass from Payton.

Jefferson desperately chased after Liu He.

However, Liu He felt so good at the moment, he didn't hesitate at all, and directly pulled up against Jefferson.

Jefferson tried his best to block the shot, but Liu He's shot was still higher than he expected, and Jefferson failed.

Liu He forced a shot against Jefferson, the basketball flew over Jefferson's head, and then got into the basket without hesitation.

Swish!
12: 2.

The momentum that the New Jersey fans had just raised was instantly extinguished.

As for Richard Jefferson... He grabbed his head with both hands and stared blankly at the basket, completely dumbfounded.

This guy was directly stunned by Liu He.
