James immediately called for the ball with his back to Jones.
Although Jones is also a defensive player, he's still a guard, and there's over a twenty-kilogram weight difference between the two.
This was like offering up a head on a platter, and James couldn't help but take advantage of it.
However, once he received the ball and started backing down, he realized the situation was different from what he had expected.
Jones might not have been able to handle him, but he was full of tricks.
Jones has never been known for playing clean defense. He could even be considered the opposite of Conley, having once greatly irritated Phil Jackson with his antics.
James was made very uncomfortable, to the point where he turned around with a pronounced elbow, landing it straight into Jones's chest.
The move was vicious, but the referees did not blow their whistle.
