He finished his fourth triple-double of the season and his 103rd career. The reporter Truder praised it, and after the comeback, James was still the same James. Interestingly, James picked up the thermos several times during the game to drink water.
James made a comeback and, after missing five games in a row, was finally back on the court. However, coach Vogel revealed before the game that James' left knee injury has not yet healed, but the desire for old Zhan to come back is too strong.
After a 5-game suspension, James showed no signs of rust after his comeback. With the Knicks starting with an offensive climax and the Lakers trailing by 18 points at one point, James stepped forward. Advancing with the ball in the backcourt, facing Burks' defense, Old Zhan turned around, killed to the basket, pushed the opponent away, lost his body balance to advance the ball, the referee did not whistle, old Zhan raised his hands to express dissatisfaction.
Then James once again hit the inside line, received a thick eyebrow pass, he accelerated straight to the basket, the Knicks' defense was useless, and the old Zhan easily scored the ball.
Back in the second quarter, James' outside three-pointers also opened. At the end of the half, James shot 7-of-10 and had 15 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, which really didn't look like a person with a knee injury.

In the third quarter, Munch broke out, scoring 18 points in a single quarter, and the Lakers completed the rebound. Old Zhan paddled a section, but in the fourth quarter of the decisive victory, Old Zhan made another effort to harvest the game. As soon as he came up, he hit a super-far three-pointer, and then he turned over and jumped on a jumper, breaking through the layup and then going in.
It is worth mentioning that in a chase counterattack, Old Zhan also showed his hands back, although the opponent's early foul is not counted, but this buckle makes people feel that Old Zhan's injury should be no big trouble.
