The Los Angeles Lakers were easily defeated by the Houston Rockets with a score of 135-119 in an away game. After the game, LeBron James also expressed his attitude in the interview that he was not in the mood to answer any questions about Dillon Brooks.
You must know that during last year's playoffs, LeBron James praised Dillon Brooks because he was one of the Grizzlies' best and most consistent players at the time.
At that time, Dillon Brooks had been trying to anger LeBron, saying that LeBron James was "old". However, LeBron James did not pay too much attention to Dillon Brooks' remarks, but responded to the opponent with his performance on the court.
After the end of this game. When LeBron James asked reporters about Dillon Brooks after the game, LeBron James gave a simple reply, refusing to comment on Dillon Brooks.
LeBron James says 'next question'
LeBron James declined to respond to Dillon Brooks' question, citing multiple factors. First, Dillon Brooks pushed Jared Vanderbilt as he was driving to the basket, and later insulted Jared Vanderbilt, who responded and was ejected.
Secondly, Dillon Brooks maliciously injured himself when he was going for a layup. So there’s nothing wrong with LeBron James refusing to respond to questions about Dillon Brooks.
Moreover, Dillon Brooks immediately turned around and laughed at LeBron James after scoring a jump shot while being defended by LeBron James. He was maliciously injured on the offensive end and ridiculed on the defensive end. It can only be said that the 39-year-old LeBron James is too difficult.
Dillon Brooks' offensive performance in this game was indeed very good, but on the defensive end, he almost eliminated Jared Vanderbilt and LeBron James. After the game, even Davis, another Lakers star, stood up and said that Dillon Brooks should be expelled for fouling LeBron James.
The Los Angeles Lakers finally defeated the Warriors in an away game and stabilized their ranking. Now they have lost to the Houston Rockets, which makes it really difficult for the Lakers who want to compete for a playoff spot.
The competition in the Western Conference is very fierce. The Lakers currently have a record of 24 wins and 24 losses, tied for ninth place with the Utah Jazz. The Lakers are now 2.5 games behind eighth place in the Western Conference and 4.5 games behind fifth place in the Western Conference.
