Today, the Lakers beat the Hawks at home to win four straight games, while overtaking the Nuggets and returning to the top six in the West through the playoffs. The Lakers performed well in this game, Munch's three-point shot felt good, Tucker was previously depressed, but now he is strong and violent. James also had a good performance, he slashed 17 points in the final quarter, and also sent assists many times, 32 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks, helping the Lakers stabilize the situation, and the number of steals in this campaign also rose to 10th in NBA history. Wei Shao cut a quasi-triple-double, and the last quarter 6 committed the field. Eagle core Trae Young regretted empty slashing, and they also had no chance to win consecutively, eating until they lost the battle.
The Lakers won four consecutive games for the first time in the season and remain unbeaten in 2022. When James played as a starting center, the Lakers won 5 and lost 0, averaging 127 points per game and performing strongly. In addition to the steals to rise to the 10th place in history, there has never been a 34-year-old player in NBA history who has played a 30+5+5+3+3 game, and today's 37-year-old James has 32 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks, the first person in history.
In addition to James, Munch's performance was very eye-catching, he had 29 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 0 turnovers. He has scored in double figures in the last seven games, 20+ in five games, averaging 21.9 points per game, shooting 62.8% from the field, 48.2% from three-point range and 90% from the free throws. Today's 29 points set a new season high for Munch, after a previous record of 27 points.
Vogel praised him after the game: "What we like about him is that he can create chances and that he is the finisher. ”
The Lakers only had 8 turnovers in the whole game, including 3 by Westbrook, 4 by James, 1 by Johnson, and none of the others made any mistakes. Speaking about this, Vogel said: "We know that if we don't beat ourselves, it will be very difficult for us to be defeated by others. ”
In this way, the Lakers rely on the recent wave of 4 consecutive wins, rising to the top six in the West, which is also what the outside world wants to see, in the absence of thick eyebrows, James plays the center position quite well, and the personal data is excellent at the same time can continue to lead the team to win consecutively, and also out of the previous decline. I also look forward to the next performance of the Lakers, and strive to continue to impact the higher rankings.
