After one possession, James tried to take the shot himself.
He forcefully drove against Roger but didn't reach the basket, stopping suddenly at mid-range for a jump shot.
Stupid choice.
A player on the court should avoid doing what they're not good at, because that's exactly what your opponent wants to see.
As expected, the basketball hit the rim.
The game continued, and as time passed, James's awkwardness increasingly grew.
If LeBron James's poor performance in their last encounter was due to his confusion, his helplessness, his fear.
Then tonight, LeBron James undoubtedly proved one thing: even when not lost, he still had no answer for Roger.
It was clear the number 23 from Cleveland played very hard tonight, trying his best to score for the team, but under Roger's defense, all his efforts were in vain.
You wouldn't know the first possession, LeBron James faced Roger drenched in sweat.
