On December 13, Beijing time, the Lakers defeated the Magic at home 106-94, winning two consecutive wins while returning to the sixth place in the West! Looking back at the game in the absence of the thick eyebrow brother, the first two quarters of the game magic team held a slight lead, to the third quarter of the magic team attack suddenly power outage, James led the team to play a 23:0 attack wave, the last quarter lakers once again repelled the Magic team's counterattack, and finally won the game.
In this game, the Lakers' Westbrook, Tucker Jr. and Anthony jr. all played well, but the biggest contributor to the Lakers' victory still belongs to James. He played 37 minutes and had 30 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 blocks on 12-of-20 shooting, making him his first 30+ triple-double of the season. In the third quarter, James scored 14 points in a single quarter and sent three big caps in a row on the defensive end, helping the Lakers complete the reversal and seal the win.
After the game, journalist Lakers Daily posted James' statistics for the past 7 games, james averaging 30 points + 7.7 assists + 6.7 rebounds + 1.8 steals + 1.1 blocks per game. In six of his last 8 games, james has cut 30+ in six of his last eight games, and James will turn 37 in less than 3 weeks.
This performance of reverse growth also shattered some people's doubts about his decline in state. In response Vogel said after the game that the key to liberating James' offense is. Vogel said the team narrowed the lineup, only one big man or no big man on the court, and after the space on the court was changed, he asked James to create more breakthrough channels.
And the most critical factor is Jordan Jr., according to the data, after Jordan Jr. was removed from the starting list, the Lakers' offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency have entered the top ten of the league, and the net win score of 100 rounds is the 5th in the league in the same period. And Jordan Jr. was the starting center when the Lakers were offensively and defensively efficient but at the bottom of the league, with a 100-game net win score of 24th in the league.
Of course, for a superstar like James, it's really easier to stay on the offensive end. Because the offense is active, the breakthrough ability is reduced, and you can shoot more points in the middle and long distance. But still have to lament the greatness of James!
