After five missing games, James is finally back today! Facing the Eastern Powerhouse Knicks, Zhan Mei plus Munch, the big three Qi Fawei successfully led the team to victory. This is James's strength and confidence, with him in Los Angeles there will always be hope! After the comeback, James led the team out of the predicament with a perfect performance of 29 points and triple-doubles, and was also the well-deserved MVP of this game.
In fact, the fatigue of the Lakers in the entire first half still feels more obvious, and the momentum is completely suppressed by the opponent. At the end of the half, still trailing by 15 points, the Lakers finally woke up like a dream in the third quarter, Munch fired frequent cannons from the outside, James and Thick Brow repeatedly hit the Knicks penalty area, the Lakers played a super attack wave, a net win of 18 points in a single quarter, and the defensive end was also very hard, so that the opponent only got 13 points. The Key Fourth Quarter Lakers also once firmly grasped the advantage in their own hands, but unfortunately, the successive mistakes and free throws in the last moment buried a good game, and the game was forced into overtime. Fortunately, the Lakers were finally able to withstand the pressure and still pocket the game victory! It is worth mentioning that in extra time, Saiwei Shao was pressed on the bench by Vogel throughout the whole process.
The Lakers' new version of the big three came out, James thick eyebrows and Munch three people combined to bomb 86 points, and the three of them hit more than 50% of the shooting rate, which is also the highest positive and negative trio in the starting lineup. Trident stats: James 29 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists, Thick Brow 28 points, 17 rebounds, 3 steals and 4 blocks dominate both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, Munch 29 points. This campaign Wei Shao performance is a bit embarrassing, the efficiency of 10 shots is really a bit hot, only 5 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists in the game, three singles to pay tribute to Green. Former men's basketball national player Wang Shipeng said that James's thick eyebrows and Munch dragged Wei Shao out of the conference room! I have to say that Wei Shao's current performance is really disappointing, and it seems that it is difficult to find a solution. It can only be said that James's return is indeed effective, and the Lakers have stopped the decline of the losing streak.
Nothing is more important to the Lakers than a healthy James. This game also proves the value of James, and the role of old Zhan in the team is to fix the needle of the sea god, that is, the spiritual leader. The Lakers' next schedule is not easy, the Bucks, the Warriors are still waiting behind, I hope James to stay healthy, thick eyebrows and Munch to maintain the state, leading the Lakers to take a wave of consecutive wins, the Lakers refuel, I believe everything will get better and better!
