Patience paid off for Rui Hachimura
« I didn’t know what I was doing. I was just trying to get away from everyone », describe Rui Hachimura talking about the human tide that washed over him after his game-winning shot at the buzzer last night on the Raptors floor.
An explosion of joy from the Lakers who came to celebrate the last hero of the night. He was also forewarned by a teammate, LeBron Jamesthat he will probably be served.
« He said he would come to me and be ready. I think their trainer… I saw them try to do a two-handed on the AR (Austin Reeves). They were trying to make a sign. So I knew it would really come my way. So I was ready and LeBron made a real pass to me », describes the Japanese.
The latter came out of a “phantom” match against the Suns where he almost didn’t have a serve and in the evening he made only one shot. A match quickly erased by this dream sequence for him. ” This is what every basketball player dreams of. Playing for the Lakers, getting a pass from Bron, it’s completely crazy. It’s a great feeling “, he summarizes.
Impressed with LeBron’s streak
The former Wizards player, who doesn’t remember ever registering such a “buzzer,” adds: “ I think it all comes from our chemistry, from everything we build together. And yes, it was a tough game for us, but we did the job. So yes, that’s a positive. »
Positive because victory is in the end, even if in this story, LeBron James ended his historic streak of games with 10 or more points. « He’s just doing the right thing. That’s what he’s done his entire career: let the game come to him. He never forces anything. I think he made a big layup… I don’t remember, it was in the fourth quarter, right? In the last two minutes », repositions Rui Hachimura.
The end of this series? ” Of course he’s probably thinking about it, but at the same time it’s crazy. Since 2007, right? Yes. That’s crazy. I don’t even know how to describe it. He’s been doing it for a very long time, obviously, but this streak, I don’t think anybody’s ever going to beat it », concludes the author of the decisive frame.
