On December 29, Beijing time, the NBA regular season Lakers played against the Rockets. Throughout the game, James shot 11-of-19 and 3-of-5 from three-point range, finishing with 32 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds. In this battle, James is also a record.
In the face of the Rockets, the Lakers gave up the Magic Beast and Little Jordan, which is the five-shot full-time, and James is playing the fifth position a lot of the time.
Although the five small sacrifices defense, but also let the Lakers open the offense, and the Rockets is a rather poor defense team, this team's young players are quite inexperienced defensively.
With 1:56 left in the half, the Lakers attacked in the halftime position, and James played Nwaba in the low post. At this point, melons are standing outside the three-point line, drawing wood's defensive attention, Munch crosses the run and, importantly, Westbrook cruises to the basket. This made it difficult for the Rockets to pack Zhan Huang, James used the advantage of his body, crushed Nwaba to the basket, suddenly retreated to jump shots, hollow into the net.
That's five small powers that can open up offensive space and give James more chances to single out. In this way, James efficiently cut 18 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in the half.
In James' previous career, the last time he suffered a six-game losing streak was in the 2014-15 season, when he was still in the Cavaliers, but only played one of them due to injury. The longest career losing streak was an 8-game losing streak in a rookie season.
James, who will usher in the 37-year-old tomorrow, naturally does not want to celebrate his birthday with such embarrassment. Therefore, not only the offensive end, but also the defensive end of the old Zhan is also doing his best, returning in the second half, a volleyball hat fan flew to Nwaba, the on-site commentator shouted: "How old is he?" ”
In the fourth quarter of the tiebreaker, after the Rockets tied, James stepped up and forced himself to the basket. With 1 minute and 40 seconds left, James hit two free throws and two shots. With 1 minute and 18 seconds left, James cut a dunk in the air, and then, there was a layup, scoring 6 points in a row, killing the game. Back from a timeout, James made two free throws to seal the win. James then rebounded and completed a triple-double, his third triple-double of the season and his 102nd career triple-double. James made two free throws again, ushering in the 36,000-point milestone, and the Lakers laughed to the end.
