On March 3, Beijing time, in the Lakers' game against the Nuggets, LeBron James completed an astonishing 40,000 points in the second quarter, a feat that not only won the respect of Nikola Jokic, but also demonstrated the amazing gold content of Zhanhuang's crazy 4 1 1 project.
The Nuggets have beaten the Lakers seven times in a row before, so this game is not only a record for James, but also a win for the team. Before the game, Jokic approached James and said he wanted to prevent him from reaching the 411 milestone, and even claimed that he would only be allowed to score 8 points. This bold statement is truly shocking.
James smiled at this, apparently unimpressed. Jokic's rhetoric lasted only a short time, and James failed to reach his goal of nine points in the first quarter of the game, scoring just five points.
However, in the second quarter of the game, Zhan Huang showed his dominance. He first scored a breakaway layup, and then at the 10:40 mark, he completed a heads-up breakaway and scored his 40,000th career point. This also marked the successful completion of Project 411. Jokic also had to be convinced when James reached 40,000 points, sending him blessings and completely recognizing James' greatness.
However, it is worth noting that at this historic moment, Lakers head coach Darvin Ham did not even realize the need to call a timeout. This is really puzzling. The Nuggets' reluctance to celebrate with James may be understandable, but we really don't understand why Ham didn't call a timeout. James reached 40,000 points and should be given the respect and celebration he deserves.
At such an exciting time, Hamm's actions are truly incomprehensible. May every player get the attention and respect they deserve in future games.
James' great feat is not only a personal glory for him, but also a victory for the team. In the world of basketball, there's never a shortage of exhilarating moments. Do you think Ham should call a timeout when James reaches 40,000 points?
