On January 13, Beijing time, the Wizards defeated the Magic 112-106, and Kuzma had 19 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists, only 1 assist away from completing the first triple-double of his career. After the game, the US media posted a scene before the end of the game, Kuzma had the opportunity to send the 10th assist, but the No. 15 show Kispert did not shoot in the empty position, and passed the ball again, which made Kuzma very dissatisfied!
38 seconds before the finale, Kuzma broke through the inside line and passed the ball to Kispert in the bottom corner, and Kispert did not shoot, and then passed the ball to Pop at a 45-degree angle, and Pope missed a three-point shot. Slow motion shows that the moment Kispert passes the ball, Kuzma is very angry, yelling at the rookie, and the reporter in front reveals that Kuzma shouted: "Please! Corey (Keyspert)! ”
Both commentators were amused to see Kuzma's reaction. They both sighed in unison: "He knows (just one assist and three doubles), of course he knows, how can he not know!" ”
Kuzma clapped his hands in frustration as he ran back, knowing he shouldn't have a chance to get the triple-double.
Since being traded to the Wizards by the Lakers, Kuzma has played well. So far this season, Kuzma has played 39 games, averaging 15.6 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, shooting 45.2 percent from the field.
