Three games in the dynamics of LeBron James and Luka Doncic and it seems that they have already found a strategy in which both players are comfortable and in line. “Who gets the last shot?” is probably the most difficult to respond, but the superster duo seems clear about it in the future.
Last Wednesday, for example, it was the NBA top scorer of all time who had the opportunity to make the last shot, but the 22-year-old veteran missed two attempts from outside the arch that might link the game. This meant that the Hornets defeated the Lakers team 100 to 97.
It was the Slovenian Lebron that served with 6.3 seconds, but later the press told that their roles were interchangeable. “He had it going, so we clearly go to him,” Luka explained. “I think it will go both sides. Once he will be he, once me. So I think it depends on how the game goes. “
Nevertheless, Gabe Vincent, before the last two shots of James, had earned an attacking rebound and served the 40-year-old, who again missed. Although the veteran missed in clutch moments, he had already hit 16 points in the fourth quarter, while Doncic had 5 points on 2-out-5 shooting.
“As a coach you are excited that you have two boys who can be the passer -by and be the man who gets the pass,” said Los Angeles coach JJ Redick about who gets the last shot. “But it felt like LeBron, especially in the fourth, just found a nice rhythm, and I really felt comfortable with that. And we have two good. “
The resident of Cleveland admitted that he “felt pretty good” when his coach told him he would get the ball to have the last attempts of the game. “We are walking the set that JJ sets,” James Postgame shared. “You perform it. And we performed it. We just didn’t make it. “
While Luka placed almost a Triple-Double with 14 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists, he had 6 turnover and he dropped only 5-from-18 that night. “It is clear that it will take some time,” said the 25-year-old. “Today, a lot of rustiness on my part. The game started with about four or five turnover. That cannot happen. So I just have to play basketball in the right way. “
