Rui Hachimura makes his feelings about Memphis known
The Lakers star LeBron James was resting in the previous match of the Lakers vs the Milwaukee Bucks. The Lakers somehow managed to get past the mighty Bucks without their ace. However, the Grizzlies pressed hard on the Lakers, and the need for James to step up was very evident. LeBron responded to his team’s call and was supported by the young laker Rui Hachimura.
Hachimura delivered a great performance against the Grizzlies and kept up his dominance in the city. Later on, he revealed the secret to his dominant performance in a postgame interview. “I think it was a good team win. Bron was out last night, AD was out tonight but we played together and we trust each other… I am not gonna lie, I am not a very big fan of this city. I have always had a great memory here,” said Hachimura. The young Laker credited his dislike of the city for his repeated great performances.
