Beijing time on March 6, the Lakers finally played a victory today, facing the Western strong enemy Warriors, but also the old opponent of James in the past few years, this 37-year-old James completely killed crazy, the whole game played 38 minutes, 19 of 31, 11 of 6 three points, slashed 56 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, plus or minus +13. This game can be said to be James's personal exhibition game, half of the game, he cut 26 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, just when people thought that James's feel would cool down, the surprise was sent again.
In the third quarter, James scored 14 points and scored 40 points in the third quarter to help the team tighten the score. When James scored 40 points in the third quarter, many people knew that tonight, James may set multiple records, and sure enough. James put on the scope again in the final quarter, hit three consecutive three-pointers in a single quarter, stopped the Warriors, and finally helped the team complete the reversal, narrowly winning 124-116. James' outstanding performance also brought him to eight milestones and set an NBA record, the first milestone, James surpassed Carl Malone in total playing time in his career and rose to second in history. The second biggest milestone, James has scored 26 30+ times this season, the most since the 2017-18 season, setting a 4-year record;
The third milestone, James scored 40+ in the third quarter, the oldest player after Jordan in 2001, setting a record of 21 years; the fourth milestone, James' 56 points to tie the league scoring record this season; the fifth milestone, James' 56 points set a new scoring record for the Lakers' career; the sixth milestone, James' 56 points set a new personal season scoring record; the seventh milestone, James' 56 points were the second highest score among the 37+ players in history, second only to Kobe Bryant's 60 points The eighth milestone, James's 13th career 50+, the second most active players & the 7th most in history; James 37 years old cut at least 55 points and 10 boards in a single game, the oldest player in NBA history, setting a record in NBA history.
I have to say that James's personal ability is indeed very prominent. James broke out for a reason, and just yesterday he said he tends to ignore him when people talk about the best scorer of all time, which makes him very angry, which may be a big reason for James's explosion. Another reason is that this game, he is facing his old rival Warriors, in the past many years of games, James in the playoffs against the Warriors in the game to win less and lose more, before that, the Lakers experienced a wave of 4 consecutive losses, very eager to win this victory, therefore, the Warriors also became his punching bag.
It's amazing that James can still play at the age of 37, and he's a basketball genius in the NBA that has been rare in decades. James can achieve such achievements, can play such data, in addition to their own talent, but also inseparable from his 19 years of hard training. Of course, the constant questioning of James may also have inspired the strongest little emperor. Recently, Bill Simmons said that James will not choose to take a break this season because he wants to break the record of Carl Malone, and then the record of 40,000 points.
James can be said to be the strongest small forward in history, as to whether he can surpass Jordan to become the first person in history, this depends on the number of championships James won before retiring, and the honors he has achieved. James is currently full of honors, but there is still a certain distance from Jordan, and I believe that even if he can't surpass the "basketball god", he will get closer and closer to him. For James' performance, the magician was directly subdued, saying that James's performance was unprecedented.
