The 37-year-old man played a crazy game again, 13 of 24 in the whole game, bombarded 32 points, 9 assists, 8 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 blocks, shooting 54.2%, 17 points in the last quarter to defeat the Hawks, and finally the Lakers beat the Hawks 134-118 to win 4 consecutive wins. After entering 2022, the Lakers remain unbeaten and are now firmly seated in the sixth place in the West, And LeBron has also entered the MVP discussion, and the latest official website MVP list James rose to seventh.
However, the reputation of the team's other star Russell Westbrook is not good, this game he swallowed 6 fouls for the first time in the season and was blown off, 4 of 14 in the whole game, 1 of 3 free throws, 9 points, 11 rebounds, 13 assists and 3 turnovers, shooting 28.6%, another night of giant iron, if there is no six crimes, the battle is likely to be a triple-double.
But don't overlook a detail, the turtles +22 plus-minus when the team is the first, James +4, Munch +14, Bradley +15, Stanley +4, the Turtles are on the floor when the Lakers are crazy to beat the Eagles, although he is not allowed to defend, assists to help the Lakers easily open the point difference.
After the game, Vogel also said: "Westbrook helped the team set the tone of victory through extra passes, which is a key factor for our team to win at a high level of competition, and he set the tone for us to win in the first half.
In fact, this game God Turtle also has a highlight moment, in the second quarter of the singles Collins to complete the mid-range 2+1 is very good, this time the free throw Wei Shao also grasped. The previous three consecutive wins against Westbrook, although the data is not good, the plus-minus value is really good, the Battle Kings +17, the Timberwolves -2, the Blazers +29, and the four games Westbrook +64.
During the four-game winning streak, Wei Shao averaged +16.5 per game first, ranking second was Munch +11.5, and Munch was the second scoring point during the four-game winning streak, but the plus-minus was still inferior to the Turtle, which shows that Brother Gui is not without merit. 0-of-9 from three-pointers in four games was one of the heroes who won.
The last four consecutive wins, Westbrook averaged 32.8 minutes per game, scored 15.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal, 0.5 blocks, 4 turnovers, shooting 39%, three-point shooting rate of 0%, just look at the data is indeed hot eyes, can see some details to explain his role.
This ball is the epitome of Wei Shao's cooperation with Lao Zhan this season, looking back at the moon to give Lao Zhan a violent buckle, the degree of tacit understanding between the two is really getting better and better. The turtle can hold the ball and organize, which does reduce the pressure for LeBron a lot.
