Beijing time on January 16, the NBA regular season continued, in a Western Civil War, the Lakers lost 37 points to the Nuggets, the game lost 37 points, creating the second most lost points record of James's career, the first game was the previous loss to the Pacers 42 points, this game James played 30 minutes, 23 shots 9, including 8 three-pointers 2 of 8, 7 free throws 5, 25 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.
After today's game, the famous NBA journalist Skip pointed out James' worst problem: "James' Lakers just suffered their worst loss of the season, losing to the Nuggets by 37 points in Denver. It's hard to believe that the Lakers ranked first in defensive efficiency last year and 17th this season. James' defensive efficiency is in the 200th place, and he's now all offensive and not a little defensive. ”
Skip's voice can be described as a sharp point, for the 37-year-old James, today he is indeed not as capable of attacking and defending as the peak, of course, this is also an inevitable problem for NBA superstars, when Duncan is 35 years old, the offensive ability has been greatly reduced, mainly relying on defense, Kobe Bryant, who has been selected for 9 times the best defense, in the last few years of his career, is also not defensive, when "command traffic" is also from Kobe's defense, and now James, Facing the same situation, it is not that their own ability is not enough, but that their physical strength cannot keep up.
