On a big stage like the Christmas War, the first star in the slot will probably be one of the fastest ways for unknown players in the NBA to increase their popularity. In today's los angeles lakers and brooklyn nets game, nets youngster Clinkston did it, and he successfully intercepted James in the final moments of the fourth quarter through Harden's clever pass. After the game, this dunk caused a heated discussion among fans, and Creston became famous because of this. But what I want to talk about today is not The amazing performance of Clinkston in the final moments of the second-round show, but behind James' tragic interception.
If James is a few years younger, then the ball is most likely not to be deducted, but unfortunately there is no if on the field. There are always people who say that James cherishes feathers more than winning, but if old Zhan really cherishes feathers as much, facing a center who has taken off and is 2.11 meters tall, he can not rush up to make up for the defense, so that it will not become a background board. But the 36-year-old James wanted to win more than anyone else on the court, so he went up and eventually got a wave of hot searches.
The 36-year-old James is already "a father and a mother" in this game, but in the end, he has to make up for a 22-year-old young center, which is behind the Lakers' helplessness in the lack of people inside. Davis has been out of the game with injuries, Jordan Jr. has been useless, and Howard has not found his form after his return, which makes James can only become a "Jen center". Faced with an interior line that is taller than himself, young and athletic, even James needs to spend a lot of energy to defend. Not to mention that James had played 39 minutes before that dunk, with 39 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, helping the team equalize. For this victory, Old Zhan exhausted everything, but unfortunately, the Lakers' inside line was really no longer available, and he was forced to become the background board of the Clinkston partition. If someone inside the Lakers had been available, the situation in this game would have been completely different.
What makes James fans even more depressed is that even if James exhausts everything and even becomes a background board, the Lakers still have a chance to equalize at that time. Helplessly, Westbrook, who has already shot 4 of 19, still chose the most iron offensive method, allowing Clinkston to add a block, but also let the last chance slip away, and Westbrook was also rotated by fans after the game. I hope That Wei Shao will think about how to better help the Lakers.
