"There can only be one king in Los Angeles, and that king must be King Gigi." James, who is almost 38 years old, has been on the face again, the last game was Donchi's list to eat him, and this one is Reggie's crazy face-to-face show operation! The current situation is that the Lakers must be playing in the playoffs, but a very serious question comes, that is, can the Lakers win in the playoffs? It seems that even in the playoffs, the Lakers are more likely to travel in a round. Davis probably doesn't have to come back if he doesn't come back, and the Lakers player's fishing box is estimated to be ready for the team's management.
It is reasonable to say that James's single-core team is no worse than losing straight to lose, but the reality is that James's single-core team can no longer control the game. Where are the Lakers passive now? It is because James's play has no way of determining the team's win or loss. His 40, 30, and 20 points seem to have little impact on the entire team. Did James play well enough on the game the Lakers lost recently? Not necessarily, playing Bucks James 27 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, the team lost miserably! James 30 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists for the Trail Blazers, 26 points, 14 rebounds and 8 assists for the Warriors, and James 33 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists for the Jazz.
Last time he played Clippers James 21 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists, Pelicans James 32 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, James the Lone Ranger 26 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists, plus today's 26 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, in fact, every game James played well. And it's not that James is exchanging his shots for points, in fact, his shooting rate has always been about 50%, and the efficiency is also very good, but now he can't win the ball. The Lakers' game gives the impression that even if James cuts 50 points, it may be difficult for the Lakers to win a game. What stands out about this? It may be that James's dominance has declined, and his control of the game is not enough.
Obviously, most of the goals lost by the Lakers were collapsed in the third quarter, and the first half sometimes played well, but as soon as the third quarter, the "lake three collapses" began. The offense stagnated defense is worrying, as long as the opponent is a wave, the Lakers simply can't cope. If in the past, James could stand still with his opponents on his own, and now James can't do anything about it. Teammates can't defend himself and worry, and the confrontation will fall down when he hits. Teammates are sluggish in offense, he also can't come up with that kind of performance of more than ten points in the single quarter, the Lakers' third quarter game is generally slaughtered, and James does not have the ability to control the game.
In fact, in terms of James's current age and playing style, it is not difficult to maintain the data of 25+5+5 per game for a season, but it is necessary to play data efficiently and play out dominance, then James's playing time should not actually be more than 35 minutes, more should only play about 30 minutes, better play all his energy. Now that James is averaging 36.8 minutes per game this season, it's clear that his physical strength is a big problem. In many games, James's first half is not bad, and he can also control the rhythm efficiently, especially the breakthrough is very lethal, but once he enters the second half, James's legs will not move, and the bottleneck of physical strength will reach a point.
It's still the same old question, it used to be that James may have been a joke, but this time James may be really old. He can still come up with very good stats for every game, but it has little impact on the whole team. What the Lakers have to do now is not to make James more efficient to get data, but to reduce the burden on James, let James delegate power, and the age thing is always irreversible!
