NBA: Grizzlies-Star Dillon Brooks ätzt gegen LeBron James – US-SPORT NBA BASKETBALL

Attention to the record holder? nope

At 93:103 against the Memphis Grizzlies not only conceded the Los Angeles Lakers 1-1 in the best-of-seven series. There was also teasing for superstar LeBron James (38).

NBA star etches against LeBron!

During the game, a private feud developed between the Lakers superstar and Grizzlies star Dillon Brooks (27). Both players exchanged a few words several times. Brooks said of the altercation after the game: “I don’t care, he’s old. I like to tease and I don’t respect anyone until they’ve given me 40 points.” He didn’t. James scored 28 points, making him the best scorer on his team.

Brooks went on to state that he would have preferred to face a younger LeBron as it would have been a “more difficult task”. Brooks: “He’s not on the same level as he was in Cleveland or Miami. I would have liked to have experienced it myself, but now I have to settle for it. Let’s see if he’s looking for one-on-ones or if he prefers to stand on the perimeter and take three-pointers.”

There was little support for James from the rest of the Lakers. Anthony Davis (30) was unable to continue his strong performance in the first game, while Dennis Schröder (29) remained without a point in the 15 minutes of action. The Grizzlies played without the injured young star Ja Morant (23) and still impressed with a strong performance. Center Xavier Tillman impressed with 22 points and hit his first six shots in the first quarter.

On Sunday (4 a.m.) the two brawlers meet again – this time in Los Angeles.

On the other hand, Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards (21) had an outstanding evening with 41 points, but the Timberwolves could not stand against the offensive power of the Nuggets.
