The NBA regular season continued, today the Lakers sat at home to meet the Kings, and finally they won the game through James's last-minute consecutive points, and today James once again played 30+ statistics, with 31 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Fourteen of those points were from the fourth quarter.
The Lakers played relatively hard in this game, with the two teams constantly alternating leading during the game. But when it comes to really playing the key moment, the Lakers side still has more advantages. Although James is 37 years old this year, he still has a very big advantage in body when facing the players on the other side. So once the two teams play for the last few minutes, then James is the one who decides to play.
James scored 14 points in eight minutes in the final quarter of the day, and in the final moments he hit the opposing center player hard to the basket to complete the score. Vogel didn't lay out too many tactics in the final moments, just give the ball directly to James and let James finish. James' current body has come to its best form of the season.
Today James's three-point line outside the line is not good, so in the last minute he chose to break through to the inside line to complete the score. James has been in a state of charge for the first three quarters because he has seen the glue of this game and he realizes that this game will definitely play until the last moment. So he reserves a lot of physical strength, just to help the team end the game at the last minute, so you will find that today James is still full of vitality in the last minute. In the first three quarters, James was undoubtedly deliberately accumulating strength.
Through this game, we can recognize that James is still in very good personal competitive form this season. All the rest of the Lakers players need to do is play as well as possible during regular time and don't let the game become garbage time in the fourth quarter. As long as the Lakers can maintain a relatively sticky posture with the other side at the last moment of the game, then James is the one who solves the problem in the last moment. This is where the Lakers have the most advantage over most teams in the league.
At present, the Lakers' lineup is basically close to the full staff. When Davis returns, the Lakers will remain relatively stable after a few more games. The most important thing for the Lakers this year is to avoid injuries to players, especially James and Davis. As long as the Lakers are in good health, they will still be a team to be reckoned with in the playoffs.
