In today's game, James's performance was outstanding. Throughout the game, James played 37 minutes and shot 12-of-26, including 3-of-10 from three-point range and 4-of-5 from the free throw line, totaling 31 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block. In the crucial final final showdown, James frantically cut 14 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, including two three-pointers. It's no exaggeration to say that James dominated the game in the final quarter, which also helped him reap the MVP calls from the Lakers' home team.
After the game, James updated his social media, posting two of his own on-field highlights and writing: "What am I? I'm in trouble!!!! "It can be seen that James is very satisfied with his performance in today's game.
In today's game, there are two clips that highlight James's wisdom. At the beginning of the game, James, who played as the starting center, did not jump the ball, and he directly turned around and gave up the ball when the referee threw it, participating in the half-court defense.
However, in the final moments of the game, James forced Harkless to grab the ball in a key scramble. Whether it started because of saving physical strength or not having confidence in his own jump, James pulled the jump back in the final quarter!
After the game, the Lakers officially released James's departure photos, which was a scene that was lamentable. As a 37-year-old veteran, James still carries the heavy responsibility of moving the team forward, doing his best every night, which is enough to earn him the respect of the fans.
According to the schedule, the Lakers' next game will be at home to the Hawks on January 8. For James, he will get a valuable 3 days off.
