On January 25, Beijing time, after failing to reverse the Heat, the Lakers' record was less than 50%, and the ranking slipped to eighth in the west. In fact, in this game, James's expression of frustration with his teammates was also exposed, and according to statistics, his average shot this season has set a new high in nearly 14 seasons.
With the Heat, with 7 minutes and 09 seconds left in the third quarter, Ariza held the ball high, James cut into the basket from the other side, at this time, the Heat already had three people on the inside line shrink back to defend, Ariza's passing choice was quite bad.
The former Lakers champion did not opt for a faster direct pass, but instead lifted the ball high and hung the inside line. His passing intention was easily recognized by the opponent, and the empty cut of the old Zhan also lost its meaning, and in this way, Ariza's hanging pass was directly sent to the opponent's hands.
James was fruitless and rather frustrated, apparently unhappy with Ariza's poor pass. After the ball was snatched by the opponent, old Zhan looked very discouraged. Turning around and walking near the bottom line, the Heat launched a quick attack counterattack, and Wei Shao could only use fouls to stop this fast attack.
Today's James is quite burdened without thick eyebrows. According to statistics, James has averaged 20.9 shots per game this season, ranking third in the league, which is his new high since the 2007-08 season. But old Zhan plays without the ball a lot of times, and in the absence of thick eyebrows, he also makes a cameo in the fifth position, but unfortunately, the Lakers have one less passing master, fortunately, the thick eyebrows are about to return, and point guard Zhan may be on the line again.
