NBA News: Isaiah Hartenstein dodges about LeBron James and gets praise from players

The L.a. Clippers have decided the first city duel of the season against the Los Angeles Lakers for themselves, including thanks to Isaiah Hammerstein, who made LeBron James in the final portion of himself a few times old. Meanwhile, the Lakers continue to try it with LeBron as a center.

The German came to 11 points in 16 minutes (5/7 FG), 7 of them scored the national player in the final quarter when the Lakers presented their small lineup with LeBron James as a center. All his 7 counters in these minutes earned the 23-year-old against the Megastar of the Lakers, including a powerful slam as he caught LeBron on the wrong foot.

Isaiah plays a great season for us, also praised Clippers-Guard Luke Dennard, with the Hardstand spending most of the time in the field. He always stays positive and always plays hard — no matter how it stands.

Hard stone Himself gave the praise to Point Guard Eric Bedsore. He made my life easy. In the second quarter he came to me and said what he sees. That helped, and later we went more Pick'n'roll. This was the right means against the porous defense of the Lakers, especially James seemed several times disinterested in defense and allowed Hart stein slight degrees.

Los Angeles Lakers experiment with LeBron as a center

James themselves also gave this arms. I played badly in defense as a center, explained the 36-year-old after the game. It was not the first time that LeBron overstretches the five clothed, for James could do this variant. But he had to communicate more than the last man.

Against the clippers and Hammerstein, this only partially worked, in nine minutes with LeBron as a center, the Lakers achieved exactly one point more than the opponent. The minutes with Anthony Davis (+6 in 18 minutes) or Dwight Howard (+4 in 3 minutes) were designed positively, only the phases with Davis and Howard were more than much lost (-15 in 18 minutes).
