In this campaign, James had 35 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, shooting 14-of-19 from the field and 3-of-4 from three-point range. But Westbrook scored only 6 points, Anthony 7 and Howard 7. For James, he is the lone hero of the Lakers, no one can help him, James can only wait for Anthony to return. As for the Grizzlies, they got nine straight wins.
It seems that the Lakers are full of superstars, including James, Westbrook, Anthony, Howard and others. But in fact, only James has the form, Anthony and Howard are old, and Westbrook has never played the best level.
In this game, James had ideas, and even, James and the opponent player Bane broke out into a skirmish. At one point, James' three-pointer was 3 of 3, which was very brave. Seeing James fighting on the inside, it's hard, he's 37 years old.
In the first half, James scored 23 points, but the Lakers were sluggish, trailing the Grizzlies by 13 points, 52-65.
In the third quarter, James struggled to support, but the Lakers were the only one who could score, and there were more than 4 minutes left in the third quarter, and the Lakers were more than 20 points behind, and finally sent Howard. But in the third quarter of the game, 83-107, the game lost suspense.
In the fourth quarter, when there were 8 minutes left, James and other main players were replaced, and the Lakers sent a full bench lineup, trailing by 27 points, although in the last minute, the Lakers bench performance was remarkable, chasing the score to single digits, but it was too late, the Lakers had dug too big a hole before. In the end, the Lakers ended their 4-game winning streak.
In this game, James suffered a mileage "sadness", and he came to the 7th place in the NBA's all-time assist list!
As the boss of the team, James' performance is impeccable, but the people around him can't help him. The Grizzlies are the 4th in the West, and it can be seen that the Lakers as a whole and the Grizzlies are far behind.
The Lakers have no more brilliant performance except for James' attack. The core of the Grizzlies is Morant, but the rest of his teammates dare to handle the ball. But on the other hand, the Lakers, except for James, the rest of the people have no creativity.
