On January 26, Beijing time, the comeback of thick eyebrows gave the Lakers a shot in the arm, and this morning, they beat the Nets 106-96 on the road. Despite not scoring much, Thick Brow sent 4 blocks this game and became the patron saint of the Lakers' restricted area. In the past 17 games that Thick Brow missed, the Lakers only achieved a record of 7 wins and 10 losses, and after the return of Thick Brow, the Lakers finally seem to have returned to the dawn. In this game, three of the Lakers players performed very well.
The first was James, the second was Munch, and the third was Reeves. Reeves played 25 minutes, 1-of-3, only 2 points, although the scoring and shooting rate are not high, but he picked up 5 rebounds and delivered 6 assists, plus-minus +13 third on the team. Reeves has been very aggressive in this game, helping the team to get offensive rebounds many times, and his performance is in stark contrast to the lifeless Lakers in the past period. Munch had 7-of-13 in the game, had 22 points, five rebounds and two assists, and there were no turnovers, and he was second on the team with a plus-minus of +14.
Munch played 14 minutes off the bench in the first half, shooting 5-of-8 and scoring a team-high 16 points plus 3 boards and 2 assists on 4-of-7 three-pointers. In the second half, Munch still maintained a good feel, and his 22 points were already the second highest points in the team. Munch carried the team's offensive flag in the first half of the average offensive state of Westbrook and Thick Brow, sharing the pressure of James, and he was just a player with a basic salary, but he did what a tens of millions of contract players should do. James is undoubtedly the Lakers' best player of the game.
In this game, the 37-year-old James returned to his childhood, the sword is not old, he played 34 minutes, 14 of 21, cut 33 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals, and there was no mistake, James's plus-minus value of +10 ranked first among the starting players of the two teams, in the fourth quarter, James made two consecutive steals, and staged a good play of flying dunks, directly making the away fans turn against each other, and the Barclays Center was also caught in a carnival of mountain and tsunami. As a result, James achieved 30+ for the 22nd time this season, ranking first in the league, followed by Embiid with 21 times, and the third is the alphabet brother (19 times).
At the same time, this is also the 1076th consecutive career double-figure, breaking the NBA record, in addition, James's career regular season playing time reached 51373 minutes, surpassing Nowitzki (51367 minutes) to rise to the third in history, the top two are Abdul-Jabbar (57446 minutes) and Carl Malone (54852 minutes). It is worth mentioning that after this game, James set an unprecedented record, he became the oldest player in NBA history (37 years and 26 days) to win 25+ in 18 consecutive games. At the same time, only James in NBA history has been able to achieve 25+ in 18 consecutive games after playing 12 seasons.
There are three main reasons why James has achieved what he has achieved today, the first is talent, the second is hard work, and the third is self-discipline. James' body is very rare in NBA history, and his efforts are much harder than the average superstar. In addition, James's self-discipline beyond ordinary people is also an important factor in his success. There has been no scandal in nineteen years, and it has remained at the peak, such a James, deserves to be loved by fans.
