On April 23rd, Beijing time, the Los Angeles Lakers beat Memphis Grizzlies 111-101 in the first round G3 of the NBA playoffs. After the game, LeBron James said that when Tommy Tam was expelled, he said "protect the jewel in the crown".
James said of Tommy Tam’s expulsion: "I tried to stand up because I wanted to protect the jewel in the crown and then move on to the next round.".
In the third quarter of this game, James was "attacked" in the crotch by Tommy Tam, and Tommy Tam was directly expelled for a second-class malicious foul.
After the game, Dillon Brooks talked about the malicious foul on James. He refused to be interviewed and said, "I’m fine, I don’t want to say anything".
Before leaving, Tommy Tam played for 19 minutes, made 3 of 13 shots, scored 7 points, 2 rebounds and 1 steal. It is worth mentioning that after the last game, Tommy Tam once provoked James: "I don’t care about this. He is too old. I have been waiting for him to spray me. When I fouled for the fourth time, he wanted to say something. I deliberately angered him. I don’t respect anyone unless he can score 40 points on my head."
As a result, in this game, the data of James and Tommy Tam were strongly contrasted. James played for 35 minutes, made 10 of 20 shots and made 5 of 7 free throws, and got 25 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 break and 1 hat. James also became the only player in NBA history who played 25+5+5 in a single game at least 100 times in the playoffs, and James did it 145 times in total.
