2022 is here and NBA games are in full swing! In the past two days, many stars have played a very bright performance, and at the beginning of the new year, the Lakers' James broke out, the old Zhan has been 37 years old, he has played in the NBA for nearly 20 seasons, and he can also carry the Lakers forward with his own strength, which is very touching. James is like this, whenever the team encounters difficulties, he can always stand up, which is why everyone admires him. Although Curry and Durant's teams have better records than the Lakers, if they want to choose a player to become the MVP of the 21-22 season so far, I believe many fans will vote for James, because the performance of the old Zhan is incredible.
In yesterday's Lakers' win over the Trail Blazers, the Lakers played their best performance so far this season. Scoring 139 points and beating the Blazers by 33 points, the former champion Lakers seems to have returned, and James has played a 27-year-old dominance performance at the age of 37. James played 29 minutes, shooting 16-of-26, 5-of-10 from three-point range and 6-of-9 from the free throw line, and cut down crazy stats of 43 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
This is James's highest performance so far in the 21-22 season, and it is also one of the best performances of the season, playing less than 30 minutes, cutting 43 +14, even if many superstars in the peak period may not be able to get such data, not to mention, James is 37 years old. How crazy Old Zhan's performance was, the US media made a comparison.
James, who was still in high school at the age of 17, averaged 28 points, 8.9 rebounds and 6 assists per game, and at the age of 27, this was the peak of the old Jan, winning two consecutive championships for the Heat, he averaged 27.1 points, 7.9 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game. And what about 37-year-old James' stats? Averaging 28 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game, in addition to the decline in rebounding data, the assist data has also risen, there is no doubt that at the age of 37, you can still play such a performance, James is comparable to Jordan, or even better.
James is still the strongest player in the league, compared to Durant, the old Jan's performance is almost the same as KD, and Durant is 4 years younger than James. In today's game, Durant played, the so-called loss is not terrible, who is on who is embarrassed, KD missed a few games, the Nets beat the Lakers and Clippers. In the last two games, Durant returned, but both lost, in today's Nets 116-120 loss to the Clippers, Durant 24 shots 11 of 28 points and 9 rebounds, the data is very good, but James 26 shots 43 + 14, KD24 shot 28 + 9, which is strong and weak, has been obvious.
In fact, the biggest gap between Durant and James is that KD is not as stable as James, and he relies too much on shooting feel. In today's game, the Clippers blasted 25-8 in the fourth quarter, and Durant had no choice but to watch the team being reversed and losing. And, can Durant have a performance like James at the age of 37? It is unlikely that the average per game is close to 28+7+7, and in the history of the NBA, there are almost no players at this age to get such data.
Durant has been chasing James all his career, he is the second best star in the NBA in nearly 10 years, but the number one in the list has always been Zhan Huang. I thought James would fall to the peak, KD's era came, but I didn't expect that old Zhan was still at the peak of 37 years old. Durant has not been the first person in the league, not because he is not strong enough, but because James is too strong. It is estimated that when Old Zhan was 38 years old, he could still average 25+7+7 per game, and his personal performance was shocking.
