In the world of basketball, every bounce may be the beginning of a story, and every whistle may tell a little secret behind it. For the Lakers, this game against the Nuggets is not just a win, but a battle against an unseen force.
Tell us about the background of this game. The Lakers faced Game 4 of the series against the Nuggets, and with this victory, they kept a glimmer of hope for a comeback. But it wasn't just an ordinary win, there were so many interesting details behind it.
For example, the imbalance in the referee's decision-making. In this game, the number of free throws was 25 to 18, and the Nuggets led by 7 free throws. And cumulatively from the previous games, the Lakers have lost a total of 16 free throw opportunities. Some people say that this is a coincidence, but behind the coincidence, is there some kind of intention?
Many have speculated that the league seems to prefer to see the Nuggets sweep the Lakers 4-0, and such a script would be more eye-catching. But they overlooked one person, and that was James. At the age of 40, he doesn't want to see his team swept by their opponents like this. He decided to change his life and rewrite this seemingly predetermined script.
Zhan Huang played 39 minutes this time, frantically attacking the basket, but strangely, he only got 2 free throws in the whole game. Compared with the Nuggets' 11 free throws, the gap is too obvious. But James doesn't just have to wit his opponents on the court, he also has to fight against those unseen forces.
In addition to the league's playbook and unequal penalties, James also had to confront his coach. There was a key shot in the game, the referee misjudged, and the ball that should have belonged to the Lakers was given to the Nuggets. At this time, James was in a hurry, jumped and punched to put pressure on the coaching staff, asking to challenge the referee's decision. But coach Hamm was indifferent, and the situation was simply laughable.
Despite all these headwinds, Zhan Huang still led the Lakers to win this game. This is not only a technical victory, but also a victory of will. He has not only defeated his opponents, but also those forces that are invisible to the outside world.
In the world of basketball, winning is never easy, especially when you're not only fighting against opponents on the court, but also against various forces off the court. But Emperor Zhan used his strength to prove that no matter how difficult it is, as long as there is determination, there is always the possibility of reversal.
This game may be recorded on the pages of basketball history, not only because of the basketball itself, but also because it shows the indomitable spirit of a great player in the face of adversity. James' victory is not only a victory for the Nuggets, but also a victory for all invisible pressures. He proved that a true champion is the key to finding victory in all kinds of difficulties.
