On February 13, Beijing time, James once again rewrote history. Against the Warriors, he became the all-time total scorer. However, in the fourth quarter of the game, he only shot 1 of 10, and he could not take advantage of the Warriors rookie Cuminga, after the game, the Warriors No. 7 show talked about the feelings of defending James, which made people feel a hint of provocation.
Back in the fourth quarter with 9 minutes and 26 seconds left, James advanced with the ball and he broke through to the basket. At this point, Cummingga singled out against him.
Only to see that old Zhan Lian made two shooting fake moves, and failed to carry Kuminga. In the end, he chose to split the ball to Tucker in the bottom corner of the other side. However, the line of sight has been blocked by Cuminga, and the old Zhan's pass eventually flew out of bounds, embarrassingly wrong.
After the success of this single defense James, Cuminga also exchanged two sentences with Old Zhan, and Old Zhan also responded, and the Warriors rookie laughed.
Speaking about how defending James felt after the game, Cumminga said, "He's super talented, but I think Randle's physical confrontation is stronger than his, but James's field vision is so good that he can find everyone on the court." I enjoyed the game so much that James didn't get a chance to watch him play since he retired, so now I can learn something from him. ”
Although Cumminga also expressed respect for James, the statement that James was not as physically confrontational as Randall was also controversial. The Warriors lost to the Knicks last game, and Cumminga also defended Randall, who shot 10-of-23 and had 28 points, 16 rebounds and seven assists.
In the end, in the case of defending James, the 19-year-old Cuminga shot 8 of 11 and got 18 points and 9 rebounds, which was quite good. After the game, coach Kerr also affirmed him, "Our plan now is for him to accumulate experience now, because he is going to defend LeBron and other very difficult guys in the playoffs, (that is) a difficult task. ”
