In the NBA regular season that just ended not long ago, the Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Golden State Warriors 115-117, and after this game, the Lakers suffered another three consecutive losses, and the playoff situation was precarious, and the Tenth Pelicans in the West have caught up. In this game, although James is the Lakers' scoring king, assist king, rebounding king, but he has an unshirkable responsibility for losing, although after scoring 26 points in this game, James became the historical scoring king (regular season + playoff sum), but the mileage sad night has nothing to celebrate at all.
James shot 9-of-27 in this game, with 26 points, 15 rebounds and 8 assists, and the last time James made such an iron crazy shot seems really far away. The Lakers played great role players today, and as the starting players kept digging holes, the role players filled the holes back. This game Davis suddenly can not play again, in the face of the Warriors such a CBA level of the inside line, he only shot 13 times, only got 16 points and 7 rebounds, you know during James's absence, Davis played O'Neal level data, is the two incompatible?
James' performance in the fourth quarter can be described as a disaster, throughout the fourth quarter James shot 1 of 9, only got 3 points and 6 rebounds, including the basket to play Wiggins was blocked, three points outside the three-point line, squandered the previous lead. In the end, James won a valuable three-point free throw opportunity for the Lakers, but the second free throw did not use the hit, the third time deliberately did not score the free throw, but the tactic did not work out, and finally lost the game. Penalties dropped at key moments, and even the famous skips said that LeBron was the worst free throw among the superstars.
Although he has averaged 29 points per game this season, James' excellent performance on the offensive end cannot hide the fact that he has slipped, and no one can escape the laws of nature, even James cannot do such a thing. Especially in the fourth quarter, James did not finish scoring in a row of continuous impact on the inside line, and the defense could still release people to shoot, and even lost the rebounds in the front court. All the Lakers' mistakes this season can't all be blamed on Westbrook, and James' decline is also an important reason.
This ball Lakers have been very hard, but still have not won, the Warriors' Curry can not always be so inefficient, James now singles rookie Cumminga can not be said to be ten to nine stable, the Lakers this season is most likely to be out of the championship. Although some Lakers fans are still fantasizing that the team can still be saved, but now it seems that this is really a fool's dream, and the Lakers' lows are coming again!
