The NBA regular season is coming to an end today, and fans are dazzled by seven games in one day. And the derby in Los Angeles, the clash between the Clippers and the Lakers has become the focus of attention.

However, the Lakers' amazing performance in the final quarter led the team to a counterattack, making this game a memorable chapter.
James: A magical moment to step back in time
In the matchup between the Lakers and the Clippers, James' counterattack was shocking. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Clippers led by 21 points, but James hit back-to-back three-pointers from the outside to quickly chase down to just five points. At critical moments, James continued to dominate the offense and defense, and finally the Lakers successfully counterattacked. James scored 19 points in the final quarter, contributing 34 points, 6 rebounds, and 8 assists in the game, and the cooperation with thick eyebrows, Russell and other teammates made it difficult for the Clippers to parry. This game is not only the Lakers' victory over the Clippers, but also James' personal counterattack, which makes people can't help but recall the magical moments of 2018.
The initial roster of the American Dream Team
As the Paris Olympics approach, the roster of the American Dream Team is gradually emerging. According to reliable sources, the U.S. coaching staff has almost finalized that James, Durant, Curry, Embiid and Tatum will be the core members of the Dream Team. The news has attracted a lot of attention, and fans are full of anticipation for the performance of this super squad. And players like Holiday and Booker are also considered to be the focus of the team's offense and defense.
Lillard sparked controversy again, and Brother Alphabet became the focus
However, the determination of the American Dream Team roster has not been without its challenges. Lillard eliminated teammate Antetokounmpo in a recent speech, a move that caused quite a bit of controversy. Brother Alphabet responded generously to this, expressing respect for Lillard's choice. However, Lillard sparked controversy again in his subsequent remarks, saying that he would no longer be best friends in three weeks, and the team changes made the Bucks strange. This event left the final spot on the American Dream Team roster in suspense.
