LeBron James played 39 minutes, 19 of 31, 6 of 11 from three points, 12 of 13 from the free throw line, 56 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block, shooting 61.3%, 54.5% from three-point range, leading the Lakers to beat the warriors in the second place in the West, ending a long four-game losing streak, this game LeBron James must be the Lakers' biggest winning hero, but the second credit should be given to Anthony.
32.3 seconds before the end of the game, the Lakers 119-116 only led by three points, James with the ball to break through attracted the defense of the three people, James scored anthony in the bottom corner of the right side, Melo hit a three-point shot, the Lakers led 122-116 to 6 points, this three-pointer actually declared the Lakers to win.
Then Curry missed a key three-pointer, Wiggins fouled James, James hit two free throws and Wiggins continued to miss three points, and the Lakers sealed the win. So Anthony's three-pointer is too important for the Lakers, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the second person to win.
The Banana Boat Brothers really gave strength, Merlot substituted 25 minutes in the whole game, 5 of 8, 3 of 3 three points, 2 of 3 free throws, 14 points, 8 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block, shooting 62.5%, three-point shooting rate of 66.7%, and 6 points, 3 rebounds and 1 steal in the last quarter, he was the best helper of old Zhan, and Wei Shao only had 2 points in the last quarter.
After the game, Anthony talked about winning three points, he said: "LeBron told me to go to the bottom corner, I knew that something was going to happen, something good was going to happen. LeBron's performance tonight was phenomenal, he carried the team on his shoulders, he was extraordinary, what else do you want me to say?
In an interview with Anthony after the game, he said: "I have accepted to be a pure scorer, and I put Durant in this. I have to do it, I'd rather just do what I'm good at, and I know I should do it. I'm going to be one of the big scorers of all time, and that's the misconception that people sound like. At the end of the day, you can be the best defender, you can be a rebounder, a blocker, but there are also people who need to be scorers to put the ball in.
LeBron is different, he can organize, he can grab rebounds, he can defend, and he can score 56 points at 37, he is different obviously, but I am a pure scorer.
