The Lakers lost 37 points in yesterday's game, which happened to be James' age and his second-largest net negative record of his career. The record for the biggest net negative points was a 42-point loss to the Pacers on Feb. 5, 19, both of which took place during the Lakers.
Yesterday James shot 9-of-23 and 2-of-8 from three-point range, playing a rare bad game in recent times. Davin Reed, who defended James on the other side, also became almost overnight.
In the first quarter, James was defended by Reed, who had just turned his contract on the other side, first almost broke the ball, and then slipped directly in the breakthrough, in this round Reed was more and more defensive, directly "applauding" for James to follow.
This round is believed that many people have seen it on social media, and it has been widely spread by some Zhan Hei as material. In the following game, Reid directly stole James once.
According to statistics, the length of this battle reed against James is second only to Jeff Green. In his 2 minutes and 22 seconds of defending James, LeBron did not score on 0-of-4 shooting and made 1 turnover. It can be said that in front of Reed, James was completely devastated.
Who is Darwin-Reed? An estimated ninety-nine percent of fans have never heard his name. Reid was drafted by the Suns in the second round of '17, played 21 games in a season before being cut and signed with the Pacers for another year.
After the Pacers played 10 games, they were given up again and had no choice but to go overseas to play. This season, as various teams confirmed, Reid was given the opportunity to sign for the Nuggets, and after several short ten-day contracts, he was given a two-way contract.
Reed, who played James in his rookie season, put it in Reed's words: "LeBron killed me in my rookie season, and I need revenge." "Yesterday he completed his revenge, which is also a successful counterattack of the little people.
Reid was able to be favored by the Nuggets because of his defense, and the Nuggets had a choice between Stephenson and Reid, because Reed and PJ Dozier were similar in style and were a strong defensive player, so the Nuggets chose Reid instead of Stephenson.
Speaking about being able to play in the NBA, Reid said: "Being able to play in the NBA is the result of years of hard work, nothing has changed, I just got a chance to prove myself. ”
Opportunities don't come at every moment, and Reid seized the opportunity to defend LeBron and create the highest moment of his career so far.
