Original/Oxygen is a metro

On December 29, the Lakers played against the Rockets.

The Rockets returned to the future of the two teams of Green and Porter Jr., which added some difficulty to the Lakers to end their five-game losing streak. However, for the Lakers who are still competing for the championship, such a weak team with a strategic mess at the bottom of the ranking will definitely be positioned in the bag, not to mention that they have already completed the sweep of the Rockets in the schedule. In order to win first, James opened up and continued to struggle under the circumstances that he had already worked very hard. This time, James, who turned 37 on December 30, played directly as the starting center. A championship point guard who had an assist king last year is now a starting center.

But James doesn't openly get frustrated, and the attitude he gives is that playing center is no different from playing point guard. James's role as a center is in service tactics, mainly reflected in the defensive end, and the offensive end is still dominated by small forwards or point guards. James will suffer losses against top point guards in terms of pace as he ages, but compared to the center is an advantage, the change of defense can also keep up with the rhythm, and the assumption of naming James will never exist in the history of the world.

James also has a background in playing the starting center, that is, the Rockets are not strong, and the strongest interior line is Wood, which is characterized by aggression in the box. For James, this kind of internal drain on him still seems to be within acceptable range. Wood can shoot three-pointers and has a clear advantage over defenders under the basket when he is not in the right place for James, but his scoring does not allow the Rockets to suppress the Lakers on the court.

The Rockets have a lot of young players, the head coach is not a master tactician, position warfare is a loss, find counterattacks and quickly use misplaced shots can kill the lake artificially. Such a counterpoint is the main test of the Lakers' attention, habits and experience. Howard and Jordan Jr. have certain benefits of being abandoned on the defensive end, Ariza is still in isolation but Bradley's return is good for the Lakers, and the Rockets' style of play is not so expensive for James and Anthony, two veteran centers.

James' feel is on the line and is also punishing the Rockets' defense. The Rockets themselves are even worse defensive, with a position on the efficiency list being the bottom of the league, more than 15 places behind the Lakers. Lakers players also shoot more easily, so those players who can shoot themselves have more than 50% shooting rate in the first half, including James, Anthony and Munch. Other types of players, Westbrook were okay in the first half, with a nearly 100 percent shooting percentage, completely changed the record-breaking under-the-basket playing phenomenon of their own playing against Harden's Nets. He was involved in the Lakers' second pull-off with the Rockets.

Of course, playing center is definitely more expensive than other positions. Wood doesn't pay attention to confrontation, but his mid-range advantage and shooting percentage on the edge of the box will make James feel bad, neither able to block nor defend. James' defensive attitude has been activated, so in the second half there was the iconic defensive fast attack chasing cap that was only played at the peak of the body, and then a round to complete the block steal. Bradley and Munch renewed their status, and as a result, the operation was so fierce that they were overtaken by the Rockets.

James is going through one of the most unstable seasons of his career, as the most all-round and most controllable player in history, in his most all-round season in history, but the most uncontrollable. James, with great poignancy and unsatisfactory wishes, delivered on the proclamation he said more than a decade ago: "If I want to, I can be a scoring champion every season." Fortunately, in this game, teammates can shoot, so the pulling force is average, james can use the Lakers' entire team to attack, so that the Rockets will pay the price of being empty once they are packed or not focused enough. James' scoring and defensive ends continued to threaten with blocks, With Anthony having three points, Bradley having single defense, Westbrook grabbing rebounds and pairing with James.

In the end, james and Westbrook both triple-doubled! Both Green and Porter Jr. are back. The Lakers narrowly beat the Rockets! Back-to-back against the Grizzlies before ending a five-game losing streak!

James had a milestone: the score reached 36,000 points.
