On February 28, Beijing time, the Lakers lost to the Pelicans at home 95:123 in the regular season, and the team is now once again tasting the taste of the regular season losing streak. It is worth mentioning that in the current Western Division record list, the Lakers' list ranking is currently 9th in the West, and the Pelicans are ranked 10th in the Western Division, if the two teams maintain the current regular season record win rate, then the Lakers will play off against the Pelicans, so to some extent, the win-loss of this game can actually be regarded as the early stage of the playoff.
One thing to say is that the tone of this game is exactly that the Pelicans crush and hang the Lakers, and the game is therefore also early into garbage time. However, it is interesting that as the lakers' home leader star, James actually played a total of 36 minutes in this campaign, and still played 6 minutes in the fourth quarter of the game, thus completing the data grab of 32 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists in a single game, shooting 56.5% from the field. Of course, the number of james mistakes in this game is as high as 7, and the plus-minus value on the court is also the second lowest -22 in the Lakers' team.
For James to play strong in the final quarter despite the team's sharp drop in the score, the famous commentator Skip taunted after the game: "He (James) brushed some easy points in garbage time to chase the top position in the scoring table." As we all know, James's season average score is ranked 3rd in the league, and now the NBA regular season scoring champion battle is undoubtedly very fierce, considering James's current season average of 29 points per game, he is also very likely to hit the top of the season scoring throne.
To be fair, James had a total of 11 points and 1 rebound in the fourth quarter, but according to the actual situation of the game, the fourth quarter at that time was indeed garbage time, so it is no wonder that Skip is now so sarcastic. However, compared to the other players of the Lakers, James's overall performance is still the best in the whole team, in the case that the thick eyebrow brother is currently unable to play in the NBA regular season, and Wei Shao is also continuing to pull the crotch, James has actually achieved his limit, after all, James is now 37 years old, he has really done his best for the team!
