On January 22, Beijing time, the NBA regular season ushered in the showdown between the Lakers and the Magic, and the Lakers were behind for a long time in the first half of this game, and even the Magic played a 16-2 attack wave, resulting in an 8-point trail after halftime. Fortunately, in the second half, the Lakers launched a counterattack, and two veterans James and Anthony led the Lakers to play a counterattack.
In the third quarter of the tournament, Vogel in order to improve the team's offensive performance, took the initiative to replace Howard with Stanley Johnson, played a small ball lineup, this move allowed the Lakers to play a complete release, after opening up the space, James immediately broke through the score, Bradley hit a three-pointer, Johnson, who played the role of center, hit two consecutive three-pointers, and the Lakers played a wave of 9-0 rebound scores.
Then came Anthony's threat, and in the last quarter, when the Magic chased the score, it was melon who hit three-point shots again and again, and also made three-point fouls, making 3 free throws and 3 of 3, and personally cutting 11 points in 4 minutes, and the 37-year-old melon used one shot after another to help the Lakers withstand the pressure. In the final minute of regular time, James staged an empty dunk to harvest the game victory. The final score was 116-105, and the Lakers won.
After the whole game, James and Anthony are the most critical figures for the Lakers to reverse the victory, James cut 29 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, on the contrary, Anthony is not bad, only played 17 minutes to cut 23 points and 3 rebounds, scoring efficiency is outstanding, the two totaled 52 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists, as two veterans who reached the age of 37, each is the 19th season of their careers, James and Anthony's performance is unimaginable, the pair of 74-year-olds, It is the strongest 74-year-old partner in NBA history.
At the same time, this game James broke a number of historical records, the total number of career appearances surpassed Paul Pierce, rising to the 14th place in history, and there were still 2 games to equal Kobe, in addition, James's personal career three-point shots exceeded 6,000 times, becoming the eighth player in history to achieve such an achievement, active players, this number is second only to Curry and Harden.
For the Lakers, they have two treasures at this stage, and the two 37-year-old veterans are still dedicating the remaining energy of their careers to the team. Today's Lakers are still in the 8th ranking of the West, whether they can guarantee the playoffs is not certain, but I believe that once they ensure that they make the playoffs, the value of James and Anthony will be infinitely magnified, and the total 38 seasons of experience is terrifying, which is an advantage that no other team has. In the 19th season of their respective careers, James and Anthony joined hands to compete for the championship, which is a beautiful story, and I hope that they can succeed and continue to achieve a new "good story".
