On December 31, Beijing time, in an NBA regular season game that ended today, the Lakers lost 106-108 to the Timberwolves, and James failed to get a victory on his birthday night. There were two points in this game that caused discussion among netizens after the game: one was James's three-point line, and the other was the tactics of Ham's final attack.
First of all, let's talk about James's three-point line, although James has been denying stepping on the line in an interview after the game, but judging from the zoomed-in slow motion, James did not step on the line when he stood still before the shot, but when he jumped out, the toe pressed down to step on a little line, about 1 millimeter.
Then there is 1 left in the gameFour seconds later, the Lakers' last attack, Ham arranged a James's back-to-back tactic, but Gobert came over early to wrap up, causing James to miss a shot in regular time, and finally missed the equalizer again.
After the game, many people questioned Ham's tactics of arranging James to ask for the ball in the low post for the last attack, and what is more interesting is that not only netizens, but even Zai Bush and James are puzzled by Hamm's last attack tactic.
When Hamm laid out this tactic during the pause in the game, the thick eyebrows were really confused, looking at Hamm and James on the other.
And James's expression was even more ugly, when he saw that Hamm's tactics were like this, he pursed his lips and shook his head, obviously not understanding why Hamm would arrange such a simple tactic.
In addition, there is a more interesting thing, after James's three-point draw was blown on the line, James hugged his head and was very annoyed, while Ham was smiling at this time, looking without a trace of sadness and chagrin, just like an outsider.
