On March 1, the fierce battle between the Lakers and the Wizards became the focus of the basketball world. The match was held in Beijing time and fans were eagerly awaiting. James is just 40 points away from completing his big 411 project, and this time, his goal seems to be close at hand.
However, with 4 minutes and 25 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the referee's decision caught the fans off guard. James broke through the baseline and forced a kill, but the referee chose to remain silent. Shamet and Kuzma's fouls were ignored by the referee and sent the whole stadium to a boil. The referee's black whistle raised questions about the outcome of the game and made it harder for James' desire to complete the 411 project.
In the face of the referee's unfairness, James could only smile helplessly. His teammates also felt the tension of the game, and Coach Hamm was even more furious and indignant at the referee's decision.
However, the outcome of the game cannot be changed. The Wizards hit a crucial three-pointer in the final minute to tie the score. The Lakers' last offense was unsuccessful, and the game went into overtime. James faced an overtime chance, but he still needed another 13 points to finish his big job.
Eventually, at the end of regular time, James scored 27 points, four rebounds and eight assists in the game. In this game, the referee's decision became the biggest point of controversy and a hot topic among fans.
Although the result of the game was not satisfactory, James's hard work and fighting spirit still moved people. His 411 project may not have been completed in this game, but for the basketball world, his greatness has been remembered in history.
