On December 13, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, the Lakers home ushered in a game with the Magic, the game thick eyebrow Brother Davis continued to be absent, James and Westbrook continued to lead the team, but the first half of the game was not satisfactory, the Lakers fell behind by 3 points at the end of the half, and even James expressed dissatisfaction with the Westbrooks' eye defense.
The Lakers actually played well at the beginning of the game, once taking a 7-0 lead, but the Lakers suddenly lost power in the middle of the first quarter and were hit by the Magic team for a wave of 19-4, and at most the Magic team led by 9 points.
Anthony's scoring was more critical in the lakers' more unfavorable stage, and in the second quarter, the Lakers once used a small lineup to surpass the score, but they were quickly overtaken by the Magic.
James had 11 points, seven rebounds, three assists and four steals on 5-of-8 shooting in the first half, and Westbrook, who scored 8 points on 4-of-10 shooting, was relatively poor and somewhat impatient to complain about the referee many times.
One of Westbrook's defenses also caused James to be dissatisfied, when there were 2 minutes and 25 seconds left in the second quarter, Magic player Cole Anthony used the cover to get rid of Bradley's defense, but Westbrook, who was originally closer, should pounce on the defense, but Westbrook stood in place without moving, and even did not extend his hand, Cole Anthony easily shot a three-pointer, and the Magic quickly stopped the Lakers 48-43.
This time the attack and defense was obviously a problem when Wei Shao defended, standing in place like a wooden stake, this kind of eye defense made James more dissatisfied, and he complained to Wei Shao at that time.
Of course, James was also the right person, and before the end of the half, Westbrook was a little injured on the layup, and James quickly came over to comfort Westbrook.
