After the game, the two old boys immediately found each other, first looked at each other and smiled, and then hugged each other.

James, who won, patted Curry as a comforter during the hug, and Curry glanced back at James after the two separated.

In the post-game interview, James did not forget to tease Curry, when asked if he was tired after double overtime as the oldest player in the league.

James said bluntly: "I don't think so, we have a lot of young people on the team to keep me young, and competing with young people like Kuminga keeps me young, and Curry keeps me young (hahaha), and we're the two oldest players in the league." ”

Then James returned to seriousness, expressed his respect for Curry, and bluntly said that when he is old, he will say to his grandson: "I would say that I competed with one of the best players of all time, and then tell them how Curry made me better." ”

However, from the perspective exposed by the media after the game, Curry was still very regretful and unwilling to lose, and Curry, who was still smiling during the greeting, tore his jersey directly before returning to the player tunnel.

Warriors coach Kerr was also very unhappy with the loss, Kerr said after the game: "I would have liked to comment on how many free throws the opponent made, but my mom is here, I don't want to do that, I won't say the free throw ratio is 43-16, and I won't say Curry made three free throws in 43 minutes." ”

It is worth mentioning that during the live broadcast of the game, the broadcaster also gave this data specifically.

He pointed out that the Lakers took 705 more free throws than their opponents this season, ranking first in the league, and the Warriors took 497 fewer free throws than their opponents, ranking last in the league.
