The third shot is about Reeves. In the game against the Warriors, Reaves, who returned to the bench after a timeout, ignored head coach Ham's high-fives twice, and it can be seen from the picture that Reaves is unhappy with Ham.
The fourth shot is about James, in the game against the Rockets, during the pause of the game, Rockets head coach Udoka actively communicated and communicated with the Rockets players, while Lakers head coach Ham was just in a daze on the side, and when he passed by James, James shook his head helplessly and stared at death.
