On January 30, Beijing time, the Lakers updated the team's injury report, and James will continue to be absent because of sore left knee. James, who is on the sidelines, is not idle, not only making a cameo as an assistant coach on the sidelines, but also working hard to cheer for his teammates. In the last duel with the wasp, the scene where Old Zhan gave up his seat for Wei Shao was also exposed.
With 10 minutes and 56 seconds left in the fourth quarter, when Wei Shao sat directly on the floor on the sideline to rest, Plumlee saved the ball once, rushed out of the bottom line, and almost stepped on Wei Shao.
Then, Wei Shao got up and walked to the bench. Seeing that Wei Shao stood up, James quickly gave him a seat and made room for him. At this time, the staff also handed over the towel, and Old Zhan took the towel and thoughtfully draped it on Wei Shao, which was quite warm.
Such a James has no boss shelf at all. And this battle Wei Shao did deserve such treatment, in the second half of the game, he exploded madly, after hitting 14 points in the third quarter and leading the team to fill the 20-point pit. In the fourth quarter of the game, he exploded further, slashing 16 points.
Especially in the last 2 minutes of the game, Wei Shao won consecutive layups and shot three consecutive points, almost killing his opponent. Wei Shao's crazy performance also encouraged James, who watched from the sidelines. The two walked shoulder to shoulder and talked all the way back to the dressing room.
Recently, Westbrook has been questioned for his poor shooting performance, but in fact, from these moves, it can be seen that James has been supporting him, expecting the Big Three to truly fit together and impact the health of all the players in the playoffs.
