On December 29, Beijing time, the Lakers played away against the Rockets. At the end of the first half, the Lakers led the Rockets 67-59. James had 18 points, five rebounds and four assists, 7-of-11 shooting and 3-of-4 three-point range. However, the US media posted a scene of James, who did not watch people pass the ball to his teammates three times in an offensive round, and the teammates failed to shoot, wasting the wonderful pass of old Zhan.
This scene takes place halfway through the first quarter. The Lakers launched a fast attack, and after James broke through the box, a pass that did not look at people gave Bradley in the bottom corner of the right side, and Bradley missed a three-point shot.
The Lakers grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt, James attracted the attention of four Rockets players, and it was another non-watching pass that gave Munch to the inside. Munch shot from the basket, but was capped by Nuwaba!
The Lakers got another rebound in the frontcourt, and this time, James passed the ball to Stanley Johnson in the bottom left corner. Johnson took a three-point shot and the ball still didn't hit! Instead, the Rockets scored quickly after getting the defensive rebound. The Lakers teammates wasted James's three wonderful passes in this way, and the major US media have brushed the screen with emotion.
Although the Lakers led the Rockets by eight points in the first half, their opponents were after all the bottom team in the West. The Lakers still played quite hard with their opponents for most of the first half, and their current combat effectiveness is really worrying. James is in good shape, but it's also clear from these three passes that he really lacks helpers.
