The proof that LeBron would have asked a referee for help vs. warriors

NBA

In the Playoffs of the NBA even the smallest detail is essential when it comes to defining a closed game and to prevent the player who best defended Stephen Curry fall into lack of problems, LeBron James y Anthony Davis they would have asked a referee for help in Game 1 Los Angeles Lakers vs. Golden State Warriors.

¡Oh, oh! Jarred Vanderbilt He earned LeBron’s praise during the 2022-23 regular season, and faced with the challenge of being Curry’s main defender, the forward limited the Warriors figure to 2-of-10 shooting from the field and 1-of-5 3-pointers with two steals. But… Had it not been for some apparent help from the referees he would not have been available for the end of the first match.

With two steals and two blocks in the Los Angeles Lakers’ win against Golden State Warriors by 117 to 112, Vanderbilt was one of the most outstanding players of the game in defense. LeBron James y Anthony Davis They knew they couldn’t lose him in the fourth quarter due to foul problems, so… Did they ask a referee for a hand?

The last period of Game 1 was between Lakers y Warriors, the clock showed that there were five minutes and 56 seconds left and Curry decided to penetrate the paint with a couple of dribbles. And one! The Golden State star scored two points and was called for a foul while Jarred Vanderbilt marked it. Five fouls for the defensive figure of the Los Angeles team? No! And then LeBron and Davis appeared.

Allen Stiles, of the station 95.7 The Game (The Game), published a video with more than 710,000 views on Twitter in which supposedly LeBron James and Anthony Davis ask an umpire for help so they don’t call Jarred Vanderbilt’s fifth foul and instead give it to ‘The eyebrow’. “Anthony Davis and LeBron told the refs to foul AD instead of Vanderbilt’s fifth and they really listened, the Warriors were cooked tonight,” Stiles posted.
