On January 10, Beijing time, the Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 127-119, and in this campaign, the Lakers started in addition to James, and other players can be said to be too hot-eyed. Not only are the starting points of the two sides vastly different, but more importantly, when James exploded, the other starters were sleepwalking.
In this campaign, James scored 35 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists on 14-of-19 shooting. However, despite James' outstanding performance, let's look at the statistics of the other four starters, Westbrook had only 6 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists on 2-of-12 shooting, Munch had 7 points on 3-of-13 shooting, Bradley had 7 points on 2-of-10, Stanley Johnson had 1 of 4 for 1, and four starters other than James had 8-of-39 and 22 points.
As a result, the Lakers starters have a total of 57 points, and the embarrassing thing is that the scores of the substitute players are even higher than the starters, and the Lakers bench players score 62 points in this game.
Compared to the embarrassment of the Lakers starters, the Grizzlies' starters scored in four double figures, with Bane scoring 23 points, Jackson 21 points, Morant 16 points, Anderson 14 points, and Williams 9 points. As a result, the Grizzlies' starters scored a total of 83 points.
In terms of starters alone, the Grizzlies starters are 21 points higher than the Lakers. If it were not for the Lakers' bench players in the last quarter, then perhaps the Lakers would face a fiasco today.
What is even more embarrassing is that in today's game, the Grizzlies' starters have a combined plus-minus of +73, while the Lakers' starting players have a total of only -98, of which James -30, Munch -15, Bradley -20, Westbrook -22, Johnson -11.
Therefore, such a victory is something that the Lakers do not want to see after 4 consecutive wins, but james alone still can't move the whole team!
