The Pelicans' offense, James continues to play pick-and-roll with Davis.
This time TT collapsed early to the basket, and Davis' cut did not directly create an opportunity.
But right at this moment, James made a surprising choice. Instead of calling for Davis' screen, he directly broke past Covington to the basket, causing Jokic's defensive foul.
The foul call was somewhat forced.
But that's not the point. The point is that Covington, the "James terminator," couldn't keep up with James' speed!
Is this...a new drug again?
Hansen recalled the feeling James gave him tonight, and connected it with the words James said this season, as well as his performance, making it hard not to draw such a conclusion.
However, all speculations are subjective judgments; the truth requires practical testing.
While James was taking free throws, Hansen greeted Covington.
James hit both free throws, making the score 2-6, with the Pelicans still holding the advantage.
