LeBron James is the larger than life figure of the NBA. After his points record last Tuesday, he is taking things a little easier because of an injury. As a spectator, he sees his Lakers win against the Warriors. Because he’s there, a viewer can hardly believe her luck.
National basketball player Dennis Schröder distinguished himself as his team’s best pitcher in the 109:103 success of his Los Angeles Lakers in the North American professional league NBA against the Golden State Warriors. The Braunschweiger came up with 26 points and thus made a significant contribution to the first success of the Lakers after the last three defeats. Schröder’s teammate and superstar LeBron James, who is suffering from an injury to his left ankle, was not on the floor again.
The team used the players D’Angelo Russell, Jarred Vanderbilt and Malik Beasley, who were only brought in in the past few days. Mo Bamba and Vom Reed, on the other hand, have not yet been used. Russell started and had 15 points, Vanderbilt impressed with 12. Beasley, on the other hand, did not have a good evening, missing all six of his three-pointers and staying on four points.
Although LeBron James was not on the floor, he was also in the hall and caused enthusiasm with his mere presence. The visitors to the game sitting next to him could hardly believe their luck and were amazed at their neighbors. “I got the tickets three months ago because I thought LeBron could break the record in that game,” the teenager told ESPN, adding, “I didn’t know if he was even going to travel with the team. When he then sat down I’m really not as tall as him, all I saw was his shoes and then I look up and there’s LeBron James and I was like oh my god the greatest player in basketball history is sitting next to me. I was completely freaked out and thought, This is the best moment of my life.”
The only other German winner in the games on Saturday night was Isaiah Hartenstein, who won 126-120 with the New York Knicks against Utah Jazz. Hartenstein came up with six points and a strong 14 rebounds. The Knicks, seventh in the Eastern Conference, are still in the running for the playoff spots.
On the other hand, the brothers Franz and Moritz Wagner suffered a home defeat. With Orlando Magic, the team lost in the Florida duel to the Miami Heat with 103:107. Franz Wagner came up with ten points, bank player Moritz contributed 14 points. As 13th in the East, Orlando is one place behind the Indiana Pacers, who lost 113:127 at the Washington Wizards without international Daniel Theis.
The highly acclaimed first joint appearance of the two star players Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic at the Dallas Mavericks was not successful. With the top duo in the lead, the Texans lost 128-133 in overtime to the Sacramento Kings. New signing Irving had 28 points, Doncic 27. Dallas international Maximilian Kleber was not on the floor.
