Beijing time on December 13, in an NBA regular season game that ended today, the Lakers won the Magic 106-94, and the gap in this game was larger than the final point difference, the Lakers once led by 23 points, although the Magic launched a counterattack in the fourth quarter, but the Lakers finally relied on the strong play of the star LeBron James, and won the game without any danger.
In the whole game, James played 37 minutes, 12 of 20 shots, including 3 of 7 three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, 30 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 blocks, this is the eighth time james has scored more than 30 points this season, it is worth mentioning that James has only played 16 games this season, but half of the games have scored 30+ points, which ranks first in the league. At the same time, this is also the first time that James has hit a triple-double this season, according to statistics, James broke the record set by Bryant (36 years and 99 days), becoming the oldest player in NBA history to achieve 30+ triple doubles (36 years and 347 days).
After the game, the Lakers couldn't help but praise James's performance, talking about James's dominant performance, Vogel said: "He once again played an amazing performance. LeBron leads the team at every level, and tonight's performance was extraordinary. "He's just being aggressive, he's being aggressive when he's playing the right round and making the right interpretation, then our team will be different." Tonight, he's giving again, and when he does that, and he can do it every night, our team is a different team. ”
As Vogel said, driven by James, the Lakers' recent game status is completely different from before, especially in the third quarter of today's game, they dominated the game at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, it is worth mentioning that the Lakers only let the Magic shoot 8.7% of the shooting rate (23 of 23) in the third quarter, only scored 10 points in a single quarter, and the Lakers lost 26 points in a single quarter. That set the Lowest single-quarter shooting percentage for the Lakers' opponent since Dec. 14, 1999. Even the Magic coach could only helplessly say: "Today is LeBron James's game, he is absolutely putting his will into the game." ”
There is no doubt that even though he is almost 37 years old, even if James has the intention to abdicate, he is still the absolute core of the Lakers. And his performance in these two games to lead the Lakers to play, or will make the thick eyebrows feel a little embarrassed, because in the absence of thick eyebrows, the Lakers not only won 2 consecutive wins, a big win over the Thunder 21 points, a big win over the Magic 12 points, 2 games to win 33 points, while only let the Thunder and Magic get 95 points and 96 points, 2 consecutive games did not let the opponent score more than 100, such a defensive performance is absolutely top-notch.
Before many people thought that the absence of thick eyebrows will make the Lakers' offensive and defensive efficiency plummet, especially the lack of thick eyebrows in the defensive end of the deterrent, the Lakers' defense may become paper paste, but the reality is that without thick eyebrows, the Lakers' defense is better, which shows that the thick eyebrows this season in the defensive end of the Lakers' help is actually not as big as imagined, to put it bluntly, thick eyebrows are really too soft and lazy now, many American media and fans have publicly criticized thick eyebrows.
Of course, it is not that thick eyebrows are not important to the Lakers, but the Lakers really need thick eyebrows to be harder, in the next step, the Lakers are about to open a devil's schedule, opponents include the Nets, Lone Rangers, Bulls, Suns and other strong teams, which makes the Lakers need a strong thick eyebrows, and fans also hope that the Lakers can make the Lakers realize that he has many things to do well and can do better through the performance of these two games.
In any case, the Lakers across the team want thick eyebrows to become the real leader of this team, not a player with a loose attitude and can only rely on James, at his current age, it should be the best time to accumulate honors and compete for MVP.
