On February 21, Beijing time, the 2022 All-Star Game was officially held. Played by James against Durant, Curry scored 50 points today, and James eventually beat Durant 163-160.
In today's game, James, as the "host", received the biggest cheer in the whole field. Throughout the game, James played 36 minutes and shot 11-of-24, including 2-of-11 three-pointers, for a total of 24 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists. It should be noted that since the All-Stars took the captain's side, James' record has become 5-0, remaining unbeaten!
In the final moments of the game, Durant chased the score to only 1 point, and at the critical moment, James faced the defense of LaVine and Embiid, and he rolled over and back to hit a two-point shot to complete the shootout! After the hit, James was excited. Being able to complete a deadlock at the Cavaliers' home field means a lot to James!
Meanwhile, in today's game, James delivered 8 assists, and his All-Star assists came to 106, becoming the third player in history to deliver 100+ assists on an All-Star, the top two being Paul (128) and Magic (127). After scoring today's 11th point, James completed the career All-Star Game 400-point milestone, which ranks first in NBA history.
I have to say that for James, this year's All-Star Game is really meaningful. He played for the Cavaliers for 11 seasons and led the team to the first NBA championship trophy in team history. In addition to being elected captain, James was awarded the NBA's 75 biggest stars at halftime. Being able to receive these accolades at the Cavaliers' home stadium is both a coincidence and an honor for James.
