The Lakers and Warriors' giant showdown, James' milestone night. Unfortunately, today's Lakers no longer have the strength to compete head-on with the Warriors. Losing to the Warriors, everything was expected. It's just that this kind of losing method is still a bit disappointing.
Although the Lakers are a big three team, but the thick eyebrow brother is unstable, unpredictable, Wei Shao has long been useless, the sense of existence is zero, and there is only James who can carry the team forward.
In the first half, James was indeed brave, he wrestled with the likes of Wiggins, Curry and Cumminga, and fell behind many times, but he chased only 3 points. At the end of the half, James made 7 of 12 shooting and 2 of 3 three-pointers with 18 points, 6 boards and 4 assists. By this time, his career total (regular season + playoffs) had reached 44,149 points, equaling Abdul-Jabbar. In the second half, he only needed to score 1 point to become the first person in history.
In the middle of the third quarter, James broke the record with a three-pointer. However, the overall disadvantage of the Lakers cannot be compensated, although the two teams are a tug-of-war, the Warriors are more like controllers. The Lakers started with a wave of 7-0 in the last quarter, giving the Lakers hope of winning. However, James' solo performance of pulling his crotch began.
At the crucial moment of the last 5 minutes, James repeatedly missed shots, frequent mistakes, Thompson rushed three-point rain crazy to chase points, Curry hit the winning layup in 46.2 seconds. However, the Warriors also gave the Lakers a chance, and a penalty from the referee added suspense to the game. In 2.4 seconds, James got three free throws, and if he could make all three free throws, the two teams still had a chance to go into overtime.
Unfortunately, James made 1 of 3 free throws, and the Lakers lost lonely. In the whole game, although James got 26 points, 15 boards and 8 assists, he shot only 9 of 27 from the field and 3 of 10 from three-point range. In the last quarter, he shot 1 of 10, only 3 points and 6 boards, and 3 turnovers.
Although James broke Abdul-Abdul-Jabbar's all-time record, scoring 25+ points in 22 consecutive games, setting a career-long record, etc., his lack of strength in the final quarter and the missing key free throws made this game a humiliating mileage. As he gets older, James's physical strength and condition will fluctuate more and more, and perhaps in the future, people will have to adapt to these performances.
