On January 1, Beijing time, when James continued to open the "Zhan Center" mode, he blasted 43 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks in the 29 minutes of the game against the Blazers, brushing up a series of oldest records in history, etc., which also proved that he was still unsolvable when he was 37 years old.
The Lakers experienced a difficult run-in season, the team's continuous injury impact, and the epidemic caused many players to be isolated one after another, so that the Lakers are constantly in the pain of running-in. Now with the return of coach Vogel and the comeback of Ariza, the Lakers' lineup is relatively more neat.
It's just that in the case that the thick eyebrow brother is expected to need a 4-6 week suspension, it is unrealistic for the Lakers to expect Howard and Jordan Jr. to support the inside line, after all, their age has led to a decline in status, especially jordan Jr. has become a burden, leaving him in deprecation mode again.
In addition to playing the starting center in the two games against the Rockets and the Blazers, James has been directly assigned to play center, and in other recent games, James has also played center position most of the time. James proved that he can play from one to five, especially the oldest record in history with 30+ points in 7 consecutive games, and it is also a testament to the super dominance of "Zhan Center".
In this regard, when former Lakers star and NBA 7 champion Holly connected James, he gave James a high praise, "You mainly play the small ball lineup, I still know a little bit about this." It seems to me that when you play center forward, you seem to have found a new position of your own. You're now averaging 30+ points per game when you're playing center, is that your new team role? Are you going to tell Brother Thick Brow that when he comes back, he will play as a substitute and compete for the best sixth man? ”
For Horry's humorous remarks, James responded with a hearty laugh, no doubt he also enjoys playing center now, James said he is willing to make sacrifices for the team, whether it is playing the number one point guard or the fifth center.
Horry also gave a senior rainbow fart praise to James, "I just want to tell you that when you play center, it looks so good, in my eyes, you may now surpass the big dream Olajuwon (Horry once assisted big dream to achieve two consecutive championships), has become the best center in history, I just want to say this sentence." 」 ”
