Yu Fei left the court, catching the towel thrown by his teammate.
Various TV stations all displayed his stats.
15 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 1 block in a single quarter, these stats essentially indicated that every scoring play by the SuperSonics in the first quarter was connected to him.
"I think LeBron's performance is no less than Frye's,"
ESPN's Mark Jackson said convincingly, "He got 8 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists in the first quarter, and because the Lakers have more scoring options, LeBron doesn't need to carry the main offensive output like Frye does."
Hearing this, Jeff Van Gundy couldn't help but be sarcastic, "I believe LeBron has the ability to score 100 points in a single game; he just doesn't want to be a selfish player."
The SuperSonics did not want to leave Durant to face James alone.
After a six-minute break, Brandon Roy was put back on by Karl.
Unexpectedly, at the start of the second quarter, Roy and Durant had a bit of a disagreement.
