The Lakers' game against the Kings to win, this game James continued to perform magically, especially in the final quarter, a single quarter scored 14 points, including two key three-point shots, the whole game of 12 of 26 to win 31 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, the Lakers also successfully won 3 consecutive wins.
James has a number of good helpers around this game, the old warcraft Howard 6 of 12, with a double-double of 14 points and 14 rebounds, and the young Tucker also contributed 19 points and 6 assists on 9 of 13.
In addition, MalikMunk's performance cannot be ignored.
The draft template for JR Smith's forward made it 8-of-15 in the game, including six three-pointers and 24 points, four rebounds and four assists. In the final quarter, when James hit two consecutive three-pointers, Munch continued to fire and hit three points, which can be said to be a win in this game with James.
And this is not the first time Munch has played well recently, in the last six games, Munch has done 8 of 15, 24 points, against the Timberwolves, 8 of 14, 22 points, against the Blazers, 6 of 11, 18 points, against the Grizzlies, 6 of 9, 15 points, against the Rockets, 7 of 14, 25 points against the Nets, 8 of 13, 20 points.
6 games and 4 games 20+ points, is the Lakers in addition to James to play the best offensive and most stable player, in the offensive end to maintain a strong enough firepower, the past two games have hit a total of 10 three-pointers, so that Vogel for a long time to maintain the power of the five small lineup with James as the starting center,
It is worth noting that Munch, who played such a stunning performance, signed with the Lakers in the offseason when the annual salary of the contract was only 1.79 million US dollars a year, that is, the basic salary contract, which reflects Munch's value for money, the Lakers This signing can be described as super cost-effective, earning doubled. However, Munch just recently revealed to the media that there are very few teams that really want him in the offseason, and only the Lakers have given enough sincerity, which prompts the two sides to cooperate, from this point of view, it has to be said that the Lakers' senior Pelinka has a good vision, and signs an excellent player with a basic salary.
Can play an excellent projection performance around James, Munch also used this to become a new generation of knife guards in the talk, in the past James in the Cavaliers playing years, JR Smith is his best shooter, has a single game hit 9 three-point state, but also at that time the Cavaliers 1-3 behind the big reversal of one of the heroes. Now that he has come to the Lakers, Munch has become another knife guard by James's side, Munch is only 23 years old, whether it is athletic ability or vitality, it is not worse than the previous JR, and even has better offensive ability to hold the ball.
At that time, JR relied on the excellent performance around James, he had won a big contract, I believe that the future Munch can also do it, 23 years old, as long as he continues to play well, on the lighting stage in Los Angeles, there is reason to believe that Munch's next contract can exceed the annual salary of tens of millions of levels, so as to complete the turnaround, follow James can also play a good performance, the big contract is always indispensable!
