LeBron James puts Grizzlies in his pocket and sends message to Lakers

LeBron James didn’t give chances to Grizzlies and left the lakers in a comfortable situation in the playoffs of the NBA. The star entered the court on Monday night, the 24th, went up to his rivals and scored a 20/20. The player’s offensive and defensive performance caught everyone’s attention and even the athlete himself.

Called “old” by Dillon Brooks in previous matches, LeBron showed that this is not the case. He may even be a veteran, but he managed to score 22 points and grab 20 rebounds, in addition to giving seven assists in the Lakers’ victory against the Grizzlies, by 117 to 111. With that, after the match, the star celebrated the positive result a lot.

“I just try to be the best I can offensively, but more importantly defensively. That was the mindset tonight. I managed to make a few plays. … My teammates told me I didn’t have a 20/20. It’s the first time I’ve done this in my career, so it’s really cool I think.“, said the number 6 of Los Angeles.

It is worth noting that LeBron James was decisive in the final stretch of the match. He scored the most important point of the game and took the confrontation into the additional minutes. He hit a layup late in the last quarter and helped Los Angeles go 13-7 in overtime.

I’ve been part of moments where you know you can get a decisive play or a kill shot. I felt like that game, it wasn’t going to close the door, but there wasn’t much light at the end. I just let the emotion out”, he completed.

With the Lakers leading the aggregate (3-1), the Los Angeles team returns to the court next Wednesday, the 26th, at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), to take an important step towards qualifying for the NBA playoffs. The team will have the chance to open three victories of difference against the Grizzlies and follow with morale towards a place in the final of the main league of the world.

Grizzlies are choking on LeBron James!

“It always comes down to game plan discipline. I mean, LeBron has been really strong on the right since he came into the league 20 years ago. He takes the right hand and we have two guys on that side who are supposed to help each other and we don’t execute that. It’s that simple. Discipline in the game plan, we needed it for 48 minutes and the lack of it let us down“, he explained.
