After the last loss to the Grizzlies, the Lakers' record has fallen to a very dangerous position, and the eighth place in the West is obviously unreasonable for the Lakers with the big three. The Blazers, on the other hand, have been unable to find a sense of winning in the absence of an undecided return time from CJ's injury, and have now lost 3 consecutive games. Today's game between the Blazers and the Lakers can be described as a contest between brothers and sisters.
In the first half, James, who continued to play the Center position of lakers, showed his crushing advantage over the Blazers lineup. He flipped the river on the inside, and if there was help on the outside, 27 points and 10 rebounds were the half-time statistics handed over by James. Under James' strong leadership, the Blazers trailed by 15 points at halftime. In the second half, James continued his crazy performance, and the third quarter of the game had lost suspense. In the end, the Lakers won 139-106 to avoid the Blazers to avoid a losing streak.
Lakers (18-19): James 43 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks, Munch 18 points and 4 rebounds, Anthony 16 points, Stanley Johnson 10 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, Westbrook 15 points, 13 rebounds, 12 assists and 2 breaks, Reeves 10 points, Tucker 10 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, Bradley 5 points, Ariza 3 points and 4 rebounds.
Trail Blazers (13-22): McLemore 28 points, 4 boards, Lillard 18 points, 7 assists and 4 rebounds, Nance 13 points and 9 rebounds, Powell 12 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 breaks, Ellerby 9 points and 6 rebounds, McGreave 7 points and 5 rebounds, Perry 7 points and 4 rebounds, Snell 6 points and 3 rebounds, Dennis Smith 4 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, Little 2 points and 6 rebounds.
James broke multiple records in a row, the first of which was that James became the first player in NBA history to explode with 40 points, 10 rebounds and 5 three-pointers in less than 30 minutes on the game. The second was to tie Jordan, who became the second player after Jordan to be over 35 years old with 40+ points and zero turnovers in a single game, matching Jordan in one game. However, Jordan's career record is 3 times, which is enough for James 2 times.
If the Lakers want to win, they still have to look at James. James has played 7 consecutive 30+ games, but this can not help the Lakers win, unless James plays a 40+ performance, the Lakers can not win. James' performance today also led to the performance of another star player on the team, Westbrook today had a triple-double performance of 15 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists, and he and James combined to contribute 58 points, 27 rebounds and 16 assists.
Wei Shao still made 4 mistakes today, while the Lakers only had 7 times, accounting for more than half. However, this does not prevent Wei Shao from becoming the player with the highest plus or minus value in today's game, and +29 is also one of the best plus and minus games of Wei Shao this season, which can be said to be Wei Shao's representative work this season. James's appearance in the center position instead activated Westbrook, the awakened Westbrook is no longer a pit, and this time Vogel finally made the right decision.
