(Fatherland) – Perhaps thanks to Draymond Green’s eye poke, LeBron James was able to succeed in a difficult throw, helping the Lakers win against the Warriors in a direct competition for the 2020/21 Playoff ticket. .
The key match between the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers took place exactly as fans expected (March 20, Vietnam time). The tension and fierceness of an “early final” match is reflected in every ball. Even LeBron James was a victim of the heated atmosphere on the field when he was poked in the eye by Draymond Green during a drive to the basket.
Even though his eyesight was temporarily affected, LeBron still accurately performed extremely difficult throws to finish off his opponent. After a crushing 103-100 victory over the Warriors, the 36-year-old striker humorously shared that he saw three baskets after being poked in the eye by Green.

The foul took place at the end of the fourth quarter. When there were only 2 minutes left in the match, LeBron James chose an empty position. He received the ball from his teammates and was about to dunk when he encountered Draymond Green’s intervention. Instead of jumping up to block, the Warriors’ forward rushed straight at the opponent with both hands hitting LeBron’s face. The mid-air collision caused LeBron James to lose momentum, causing him to fall to the floor in pain.
Although the review showed that this was an intentional takedown error, the referees said that Draymond Green only committed a blocking foul. The audience at Staples Center as well as watching on television were very concerned when LeBron fell. An ankle injury is what fans think of when one of James’s legs bears the brunt of the force during the landing phase.
Fans’ concerns disappeared when LeBron James immediately returned to the field. The 36-year-old striker was even more explosive than before colliding with Green. With only 58 seconds left in the match, LeBron threw an extremely difficult shot in front of Stephen Curry. The ball went straight into the basket, helping the Lakers break the balance. The yellow and purple team maintained a valuable gap until the end of the match as well as secured a decisive victory.
After the convincing victory, LeBron humorously shared: “After being poked in the eye by Draymond Green, I actually saw three baskets. I only had to aim for the basket right in the middle.” Perhaps LeBron’s fix really worked when his most important shot brought the victory to the Los Angeles Lakers.

The narrow victory over the Golden State Warriors helped the Lakers get 7th place in the Playoff round. LeBron James will have the opportunity to meet old friend Chris Paul when the number 2 seed Phoenix Suns will face the Lakers in the first round of the Playoffs.
