On January 26, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. In a focus battle that just ended, the Lakers defeated the Nets 106-96 on the road, avoiding two consecutive losses, while the record became 24-24, and the winning percentage returned to 50%!
The Lakers were able to win today, and James is naturally the biggest contributor. In the whole game, James played 34 minutes, 14 of 21 shots, including 2 of 8 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, and one person scored 33 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals, all 4 of which ranked first in the team!
In the first quarter, James scored consecutive baskets, scoring 8 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists on 4-of-6 shooting in a single quarter. It is worth mentioning that after scoring 8 points in the first quarter, James's total score reached 36389 points, which has narrowed to within 2000 points from Abdul-Jabbar's NBA total scoring record!
In the second quarter, James reduced his playing time, but still managed to cut 7 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist on 2-of-3 shooting. In the third quarter of the game, the Nets shrank to only 2 points at one point, and James hit consecutive long-range shots, scoring 12 points in a single quarter, leading the Lakers to a 14-point lead after three quarters.
In the final finale, the Nets again narrowed the point difference to single digits. James stepped forward again, finishing steals and slicing brilliant dunks on two consecutive rounds. Such physical qualities are simply hard to believe that he is a 37-year-old veteran. With James' consecutive steals and dunks, the Nets were no longer able to chase points, and the Lakers won steadily.
It has to be said that as a 37-year-old veteran, James is still refreshing our perception of him. He's tied Kobe Bryant in his appearances today, and he's one step closer to Abdul-Jabbar in his total score chase, and he's still creating his own legend. According to the schedule, the Lakers will challenge the 76ers on the road on January 28, and they will strive for two consecutive wins.
