25 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists, which is the result of James's game against the Nuggets, although his shooting efficiency in this campaign is not high, only 9 of 23 shots in the game. But in the Lakers lineup, James's performance is one of the few players on the team to play well, as the core of the team, but also as a 37-year-old veteran, James once again poured everything on the court and did everything he could. However, it is a pity that the two fists are difficult to fight with four hands, the overall performance of the Lakers is not good, the team can not stop the Nuggets to play, the Lakers' performance on the defensive end is useless, so that the Nuggets have a lot of opportunities to easily score. In the end, the Lakers also suffered a 37-point fiasco on the road, ushering in a three-game losing streak.
It is worth mentioning that losing 37 points in a single game is also the second largest loss record of James' career, in James's long career, he has lost a lot, but it is very rare to lose more than 35 points in a single game, and this season his team has lost 37 points, which is indeed somewhat incredible.
After the game, players were required to participate in post-game media interviews according to league rules, and James chose to refuse to participate in post-game interviews after this game. It was also the third time this season that James had not given a post-game interview, after james was ousted against the Pistons and the other after losing to the Bulls. The refusal to be interviewed after the game is enough to show that James is clearly not satisfied with the outcome of the game, and he himself is also annoyed about why the team suffered such a fiasco.
James' refusal to attend the post-game interview is understandable because the Lakers have been so bad lately, and this game is the worst game the Lakers have played in recent times. The data shows that the Lakers have lost 8 of them in the past 13 games, and in these 13 games, James has scored more than 25 points, he is also the oldest player in the history of the league with the most 25+ consecutive games, in the case of creating history, the team continues to data, in the past period of time, the 37-year-old James is too difficult, his high score performance has not changed the status quo of the team.
In the past period of time, James' performance can be described as very good, and he has tried his best in the game, becoming the team's single-game scoring champion many times, stepping forward at key moments and trying to use his own offense to drive the whole team to play. However, it is a pity that James's efforts have not brought too many victories to the team, the Lakers' current defense is too crotchy, there is no clear defensive tactics, and the tactics at the offensive end are relatively single, in the face of stronger teams, the Lakers are difficult to handle their offense, and the team will often suffer fiasco.
In the past month, the Lakers have suffered six consecutive losses against teams with a winning rate of more than 50%, and the last time the team won more than 50% was last year. From this aspect, it is enough to see how bad the current Lakers are performing.
In the author's opinion, the current problems of the Lakers cannot rely on James to solve it alone, and now it is difficult for him to help the team get back on track with his personal ability. This season's Lakers want to play the performance expected by the outside world, and they need to rely on the whole team to play. This Lakers team needs to improve and improve in many ways, especially defense, and if the team wants to impact the playoffs and even win the championship, they need to have a big improvement on the defensive end.
