On January 3, Beijing time, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Timberwolves at home with a 5-point advantage, but a worrying scene in this game still happened; it is reported that James continued to consume physical energy in this game, played 39 minutes, got 26 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, and his score stopped at 30+ performance, which can be seen that James is really tired. It is worth noting that this is also the first time that James has scored less than 30 points in the past 8 games. Even so, with the performance of this game, James has 6 statistics to hit a new high this year, which not only triggered countless media and fans of heated discussions.
Some media joked that in the face of such a Lakers, James really can't move; through this year's game, James has no way to continue the 30+ scoring data, it seems that James is old, it is time to consider the idea of retirement. In the previous 7 games, the 37-year-old James has cut 30+ performances in a row, becoming the first record in the history of the NBA for 30+ consecutive games in the 19th season, breaking the record of the oldest consecutive 30+ games in the NBA.
James, who scored only 4 points in the last quarter, frequently supported his knees with both hands to alleviate the lack of physical fitness; especially in the final critical moment, James missed two free throws due to physical decline, in addition to the cross-waist rest on the court, when have you seen such a James? In addition, from the data point of view, James is still the king of the performance, since the 19 seasons of his career, James 6 data to create a new high in recent years, namely: average 28.5 points per game (the highest since 2010), shooting percentage of 52.3% (the highest since 2018), three-point shooting rate of 37.4% (the highest since 2014), 20.2 shots per game (the highest since 2008), 1.8 steals per game (highest since 2012), Averaged 1.1 blocks per game (highest since 2009).
Now James, if there can be some immediate combat strength around, but also not to the field overdraft body, James is not 20 years old; if the Lakers continue to overdraft James, the consequences and the end is only one, continue to consume James's career, it is better to choose not to break or stand, in the twilight of James's career, Stud's future draft picks, trade that is, the strength of the strength to strengthen, for James to share the worries while impacting the championship.
