On January 11, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season continued. In yesterday's Western Focus game, the Lakers lost to the Grizzlies 119:127, and the four-game winning streak ended, turning the record into 21 wins and 20 losses, falling to 7th in the West.
Although the Lakers lost, James' personal performance can be described as impeccable. In yesterday's game, James shot 14 of 19, including 3 of 4 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 35 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists with super efficiency, all three of which were the top of the team!
According to statistics, in the last 10 games, James has scored a total of 345 points, which is the highest total score in any 10 consecutive games of his career since 2008. In his last 11 games, James has scored 30+ in 10 of his games, averaging 34.2 points, 9.5 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game. So far this season, James has shot 62 percent from two-point range (a career high), 37 percent from three-point range (third highest in his career season), and 79 percent from the free throw line (a career high)!
Because of this, although the Lakers' results are not very satisfactory. But in the best of the week, James was nominated, unfortunately losing to Morant. It is worth mentioning that in the past 7 games, the Lakers' record is 5 wins and 2 losses, and their only two defeats are due to Morant's Grizzlies.
In addition, earlier today, according to Shams, the Lakers have been eager to get strong reinforcements because the results have not met expectations, and their targets include Turner of the Pacers and Grant of the Pistons.
So far this season, Turner has averaged 29.7 minutes per game, averaging 13.1 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 2.9 blocks, shooting 51.8% from the field and 35.7% from three-point range, including the highest average in the league per game!
