In an NBA game that ended earlier, the Lakers welcomed the Timberwolves at home. In this game, the Timberwolves suffered a heavy blow, and many of the team's main players were absent. At the beginning of the game, the Lakers had the advantage and gradually opened up the point difference. However, the Lakers had problems in the second quarter, and the Timberwolves took the opportunity to chase head-on, and the point difference between the two began to narrow again. At the end of the third quarter, the Timberwolves actually achieved a rebound. In the final quarter, the Lakers strengthened their defense while reducing turnovers, which turned the tide. In the end, the Lakers beat the Timberwolves 108-103 to get two straight wins.
It's gratifying that the game can be won, and the Lakers can finally win back-to-back. However, the scene in the game has worried many people, is there a problem inside the Lakers? This scene happened when everyone rushed to the locker room at the end of the midfield. At that time, James saw that there was a situation ahead, walked directly to Handy, and said something to him. Handy heard James's words, a look of displeasure on his face, and stopped to respond. It is worth mentioning that in the process of communication, Handy's reaction is still relatively large, and he gives people the feeling that he has not done anything wrong. Finally, Handy and James walked back to the dressing room one after the other.
Why did James argue with the teaching assistant? Some fans said that Handy should have expressed dissatisfaction with James' defense, because the Timberwolves' final attack became "2+1", and the defender at that time was James. By the way, the commentator of a domestic platform at that time also expressed the same speculation. Seeing this, many people began to stand up to Black James, saying that he was doing whatever he wanted with his big name, which was originally his own mistake and did not recognize it! Is this really the case? Not necessarily!
Play back the video a few times, and then take a closer look and you'll find that the truth isn't what some people have guessed. In fact, it wasn't James who clashed with Handy at the beginning, but Bradley. Bradley tried to respond to Handy when he left the pitch, but was left by Takla. Perhaps Handy was unhappy with Bradley's performance on the court. So why did James stand up? Because he wants to defend his teammates. In such a situation, it is not advisable to criticize any player, and if there is anything to say after the game, it is only half a game. Halfway through the game, I began to pick faults, which will definitely affect the mood of the players, and then affect the play.
There is nothing wrong with James' approach!
