This game exposes 3 ridiculous facts!
1, it's a pity, Huazi also released a few days ago that he wanted to play against James, but James didn't play today, and I really want to see the duel between the two, after all, Huazi is in great shape this season.
2. Thick eyebrows led the team to lose to the No. 1 Timberwolves in the West by 7 points, and Lao Zhan led the team to lose to the No. 1 Spurs in the West by 18 points, all of which are the same.
3. Russell: If the Lakers need a superstar to lead the team to go further, I think this superstar is me, and of course, with a cephalosporin coach, I will go further!!
