The Barclays Center will never have the prestige of Madison Square Garden, and the Nets will never have the audience of the Knicks, but LeBron James never misses a date at the “Big Apple”. For his second trip to New York of the season, the Lakers winger dazzled everyone with his accuracy, his leadership and even his showmanship down the home stretch when he planted two dunks in ten out of two seconds. interceptions.
A journalist asks him if it was the presence of Anthony Davis, behind him, who pushed him to take risks in defense, and to attempt these two interceptions. Sitting next to him, the interior laughs and LeBron too.
“I would have liked to say it was thanks to AD, but he was not on the pitch when I did that” points out LeBron James. “Now, when you have a candidate player every year for the DPOY title, and whatever his playing time, you can actually try things that you wouldn’t do if he wasn’t there. Because you know you have protection behind you. Or in front of you depending on the situation. “
Facing the very naive Nets, LeBron James signs an 18th straight game at 25 points and more, with 33 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. All without the slightest stray bullet, with an impression of ease, no doubt effectively due to the presence of Anthony Davis at his side. The Lakers released a certain serenity, and it was rare for several weeks.
In the front row, Anthony Davis has only one wish: to adapt to LeBron James who explained earlier this week that he was in one of the best periods of his career.
“I’m a basketball fan, and I was impressed… It was fun to watch” recognizes the interior of the Lakers. “Now I try to complement him so that he has less pressure to bear. It’s my job, and it’s all of our jobs to make sure we help him, and take the pressure off him. “
