In today's game against the Blazers, the Lakers lined up James as a starting center for the second time this season, resulting in a 139-106 victory, and James' performance just after his 37th birthday was also shocking. James received widespread acclaim, and former NBA player Horry also quipped that James wanted to make a thick brow substitute?
In this game, James started 29 minutes, shooting 16 of 26 from the field, including 5 of 10 three-pointers, 6 of 9 from the free throw line, 43 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists, 2 steals and blocks each, and zero turnovers. It's amazing that a 37-year-old player can perform like this.
After the game, James gave a wired interview to Spectrum Sportsnet on the sidelines. During this time, former Lakers player Horry quipped that James found his new position in the fifth position, "Is this your new character?" "Are you going to tell AD (referring to Anthony Davis) to go to the bench after his comeback and compete for the best sixth man?" ”
Hearing this, James couldn't help but laugh. Horry went on to exaggerate that James was so good at playing center forwards that he could even surpass Olajuwon to become the best center in history.
In fact, the Lakers let James serve as a center has caused great controversy. Just before this game, former NBA coach Sam Mitchell complained that the Lakers who let James play small forwards were the best Lakers when he was visiting the "NBA TV" program, after all, the Lakers also have thick eyebrows and Howard's internal lines. Especially against the Blazers, the Lakers' reduction in height was a waste of their advantage.
But the truth hit Coach Mitchell in the face. Lakers coach Vogel, who is back in this game, said that when James plays the fifth position, it will make the game easier, and the Lakers will continue to test this lineup in the future.
