The Lakers suffered a second straight loss to the Kings 116-125, after which the Lakers have fallen to eighth in the West. This game the Lakers were reversed again, the first half once led by 14 points in the third quarter collapsed, "Lake Three Collapse" really deserved a wave of 3-16 into a dilemma, the last quarter under the leadership of LeBron was difficult to chase 2 points in 1 minute and 36 seconds, but the Lakers' defense was flawed, and Wei Shao chose an unwise three-pointer to finally overturn the failure.
Old Zhan played 39 minutes, 13 of 29, 3 of 12 three-pointers, 34 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 block, shooting 44.8%, 25% from three-point range, and the efficiency was not good, but he scored 12 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block of 5 of 9 in the last quarter.
According to ESPN statistics, James has won 19 30+ league first times this season and won 11 30+ games in the last 12 games, but after losing to the Kings, James only won 10 wins and 9 losses in 19 games, in other words, LeBron taking 30+ does not bring much good win rate to the Lakers. The remaining 23 games the Lakers have a record of 11 wins and 12 losses, and the gap is not large.
In addition, there are only two seasons in which James has won 50% or less than 50% of the first 42 games of his career, the first is James' rookie season with 14 wins and 28 losses, and the second is this season. It is clear that this record is not satisfactory.
After this campaign, James averaged 29.1 points, 7.5 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1.67 steals, 1.13 blocks, shooting 52.4%, three-point shooting rate of 36.6%, his average score per game is the highest in the past 12 years, and his average of 29.7 points per game in MVP in 2009 was the previous season with higher scoring, who would have thought that LeBron could have such a scoring performance at the age of 37?
According to data experts, James' two-point shooting rate is a career high of 62.4%, and the free throw shooting rate is a new career high. LeBron has really tried his best.
Westbrook's recent form has been very sluggish, scoring no more than double-figures in three games and shooting just 20 percent from the field. But after the game, James also defended him, saying: Russ just can't shoot, he found a good opportunity, he is also training hard, every player will go through the trough, we still trust him.
However, Wei Shao's downturn has made many reporters dissatisfied. CBS reporter Sam Quinn said: LeBron is 37 years old, brother. He didn't have many peaks anymore. If you can't trade Westbrook, at least dare to make him a cold bench in key moments, because in the last four games he has shot less than 30%. (He's satirizing the Lakers for wasting LeBron's peak)
