D'Angelo Russell and Kyrie Irving
D’Angelo Russell has made his way back into the NBA headlines. And the reason is his much-needed and amazing career performance in Game 6 of the first-round series between the Los Angeles Lakers and Memphis Grizzlies. D’Angelo Russell helped his team to secure a spot in the Western Conference Semifinals as he led them to win the series 4-2 against the Grizzlies with a 40-point dub at 125-85.
The Los Angeles Lakers hosted the Memphis Grizzlies at the Crypto.com Arena for Game 6. The match-up was supposed to be pretty contested and close. But surprisingly, the Lakers had different plans as it turned out to be a one-sided game with D’Angelo Russell leading the way on the offensive end. The Lakers built themselves a lead early in the game. And, through three quarters were leading the Grizzlies with 33 points.
In the third quarter, they outscored the Grizzlies by 41-25, and the final quarter was passed on to both teams’ benches. D’Angelo Russell gets the most credit for the dub as he led the charge and dropped 31 points, four assists, and two rebounds. He was backed up by LeBron James (22 points), and even Anthony Davis did the needful by contributing with 16 points, grabbing 14 rebounds, and swatting five shots.
It was a playoff-career night for D’Angelo Russell, and somehow the basketball world knows the reason behind his greats and heroics. They believe it was the presence of Kyrie Irving in the building, who has been linked to the Lakers for the past couple of seasons. The fans, though, aren’t all wrong with their theory, as the rumors of the Lakers landing Kyrie Irving are fresh and have real chances to turn into reality this season.
Twitter claims Kyrie Irving is the reason behind D’Angelo Russell’s career performance
The Internet never disappoints with its theories; this time, even the dots are connecting. As D’Angelo Russell and Kyrie Irving will be Unrestricted Free Agents this summer, the former’s job is in serious danger. LeBron James has been allegedly recruiting Kyrie Irving to the Lakers for a while, and this summer, he might finally get it done. This can see D’Lo being relocated from Los Angeles.
However, the offseason drama is still months away. For now, the Los Angeles Lakers are in the Eastern Conference Semifinals and are looking to land a title. Interestingly, the fans want Kyrie Irving to attend every game they play going forward so D’Angelo Russell keeps balling out, and the Lakers can win the championship. Find below some of the many reactions posted by fans seeing Russell ball out with Irving in the building.
The road ahead of the Lakers isn’t easy. They’ll face either the defending champions, Golden State Warriors, or the hungry underdogs who aren’t giving up anytime soon, Sacramento Kings. D’Angelo Russell, LeBron James, and Anthony Davis will have to ball out if they want a spot in the conference finals, or it will be an unfortunate end for them.
