On the basketball court, there is never a shortage of sparks and gunpowder, no, James has made waves off the court again. Recently, he pointed the finger at the NBA, saying that the game was not a good game, and it had become a bad taste! It turned out that he felt that the NBA had aimed its eyes at the wallet, and slightly forgot the mood of the fans and the sweat of the players.
James's words are not groundless. He bluntly referred to the current Lakers and Nuggets series, which felt like watching a "designed script." The Lakers are now 0-2 behind the Nuggets, but I have to say that in the second game, the Lakers had a chance to win, but they were killed by the opponent at the last moment, and with a snap, it was like being pushed down from the clouds.
The question here is not just about winning or losing. James pointed out that some of the "strange decisions" in the game were puzzling and begled the question, whether it was a competitive sport or a TV show, not to mention D'Angelo Russell's social media revelation that he said that the NBA let the Nuggets win, which made people chuckle.
James's dissatisfaction with the referee is not a day or two. He mentioned that in recent years, the Lakers have always seemed to be riddled with misjudgments, and key balls are always awarded to the other side, which has put the team in a disadvantageous situation. The referee's whistle is sometimes like a time bomb, and as soon as it goes off, it blows up the Lakers.
The Lakers' current situation can be said to be precarious. If you lose one more game, it will be 0-3, which is basically a direct death sentence. James and his teammates are now pinning their hopes on an impartial referee in Game 3. Everyone is waiting to see if the NBA will give James a face and let the Lakers have a fair playing environment at home.
James's remarks undoubtedly challenged the NBA's management. He's not just speaking for himself or the Lakers, he's speaking for the entire basketball game and the fans. After all, everyone is here to watch the game, not to see how the money is made.
As for the outcome, it will depend on how it all develops. But what is certain is that James's remarks have caused a lot of waves in the basketball world. This is a contest about money, fairness and the soul of basketball, and every basketball fan should be a witness to this contest. In the next game, every pass, every shot, is not only a competition for scores, but also a test of basketball spirit. We'll see if James can use his performance and leadership to lead the Lakers around.
