It was hard to pinch the Rockets' soft persimmon to end a bad five-game losing streak, the young Grizzlies poured a basin of ice water on the Lakers, and the 26-16 offensive climax in the last quarter directly completed the reversal, and the Lakers continued to struggle. Facing the Blazers, the Lakers did not want to lose two consecutively, played a 43-26 offensive climax in the first quarter, and have been in control of the game since then, at most they were 35 points ahead of the Blazers, and finally the Lakers won the Blazers 139-106 to avoid two consecutive losses. Damian Lillard lost his watch again, making 18 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists on 5-of-15 shooting, including 8 three-pointers, 1 in 9 free throws.
Lillard's watch may be on leBron James's wrist, just after his 37th birthday, he played 29 minutes and shot 16 of 26 from the field, including 10 three-pointers, 5 from the field, plus 9 free throws, 6 of 43 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Of course, we don't seem to doubt that James has played any outstanding form now, from December 20 to the present, Beijing time, James has scored 30+ points, averaging 36 points, 10.9 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game, shooting 57.8% from the field and 42.1% from three-point range. The fly in the ointment is that the Lakers only got a 2-5 result, and James seems to have a bit of a taste of empty cutting the group.
The Lakers lose, James can not be separated from the relationship, after all, he is the star of the house, but the Lakers lose, and can not be completely blamed on James, although he is not perfect, but definitely played a good enough performance, and in the past seven games, James has made a big change, and even can be said that the Lakers "forced" out another powerful James. We all know that James's favorite system is "one star and four shots", he is a ball-holding type player, good at holding the ball to break through, and then divide the ball to teammates, but now James has become a "one-star four shots" shooter, his three-point ability to catch the ball is already the best in the Lakers.
This season, the Lakers have a total of 17 players who have averaged no less than 1 three-point shot per game, the highest shooting rate is Trevo Ariza's 66.7%, the second is Segu Dunbua's 50%, James is in third place with 41.4%, but Ariza and Dunbua have played 3 and 2 games respectively, which is not highly referential and basically negligible. Therefore, James is the most accurate player on the Lakers' three-point shooting, and among the remaining players, no player has a three-point shooting rate of 40%+, ranking fourth with Carmelo Anthony's 39.8%.
At the same time, James's three-point shooting rate is also in the front of the league, as of January 1, Beijing time, the league has a total of 134 players three-pointers to receive the ball on the number of shots is not less than 80 times, James's 41.4% shooting rate ranks 35th, and only 46 of these 134 players have a three-point shooting rate of not less than 40%. This shows how good James's shooting rate from the three-pointer is. In the past seven games, James has shot 11 of 24 shots, shooting 45.8% from the field, which is more than the season average.
This season, the Lakers' three-point shooting is not outstanding, and there has been a run-in problem between James and Russell Westbrook, but in recent times, James has begun to try more no-ball play, he has made some adjustments and changes, such adjustments and changes seem to make James a quality shooter, if you can always maintain this style of play and efficiency, James really has the hope of impacting the scoring king this season.
