On January 10, Beijing time, when the 37-year-old James continued his hot state, he not only scored 25+ in 11 consecutive games, but also scored 30+ points in 10 of the last 11 games, but James fell into the predicament of being alone. Although James exploded for 23 points in the first half, 35+9+7 in 14-of-19, especially the crazy 6 offensive rebounds that reached a season high, his teammates collectively hit iron and caused the Lakers to fall behind by 20+ and was also powerless to reverse the situation The third time in the season lost to the Grizzlies.
James continued to set a number of feats with his personal performance in this game:
First, James has scored 25+ points in 11 consecutive games, continuing to break the NBA's oldest consecutive 25+ all-time record.
Second, James has scored 30+ points in 10 of his last 11 games, becoming the first time in the history of a 37-year-old player to be able to do that.
Third, James suffered his first defeat as a starting center, and his five-game winning streak of five previous games against a starting center was ended.
Fourth, James grabbed 6 offensive rebounds to set a new season record, which is also the second highest record of his career, and the career record is 7 offensive rebounds.
Fifth, James has 9888 career assists, surpassing big O Oscar Robertson with 9887 to rise to the 7th place in NBA history, and the next will chase Magic Johnson 10141 times.
In the first three meetings of the season, the Lakers were 1-2, with both sides winning at their own home courts. In the face of eight consecutive wins against the menacing Grizzlies, the Lakers briefly led by 4 points in the first quarter, and the first quarter of the game was able to fight with the Grizzlies to a 27-27 draw, but it was also more with the help of James's personal ability to lead the team forward.
James scored an efficient shooting target of 5-of-7 in the first nine minutes of his debut, scoring 12+4+2 in a single quarter, especially struggling to grab 3 offensive rebounds. In the case that the Lakers' core core thick eyebrow brother has not yet returned, James, as the starting center, continues to do his best to help the Lakers in the first quarter to be able to draw with the Grizzlies.
It's just that as the Grizzlies gradually play the team's offensive advantage, James is in a difficult situation. James hit two more three-pointers in the second quarter and once broke through to meet Jaren Jackson Jr. to complete the block, but he couldn't stop the Lakers from being constantly pulled apart by opponents. James has been efficient in the first half to get 23+5+3 figures of 9-of-13, especially 3-of-3 from three-pointers, but the rest of his teammates have all scored in single digits.
What is even more embarrassing is that when James's 12 points in the first quarter and 11 points in the second quarter continued to perform strongly, and even scored 9 points in the third quarter, the first three quarters have obtained 32+9+5 data, but the Lakers are 20+ behind the Grizzlies. James' first three quarters were powerful enough, but the Lakers' other four starters all scored in single digits, and only Tucker scored 11 points on the bench, while the Grizzlies had scored five in double figures in the first three quarters, which became a reflection of the gap between the two sides.
Although James continued to appear in the last quarter to cut points, the whole game is also a bombardment of 35 + quasi-triple-double data, but it is powerless to stop the Lakers' third loss to the Grizzlies in the season, their 4-game winning streak came to an abrupt end, watching the Grizzlies win 9 consecutive wins to create a team record, but also let James once again become an empty slash.
In the course of this game, the American celebrity Shannon Sharpe complained about the Lakers, "The Lakers except James, no one else is playing hard, which is really embarrassing." "It turns out that the Lakers' losing night is just like the famous mouth, the Lakers lost unjustly.
