On March 6, Beijing time, the Lakers defeated the Warriors 124-116 to end a four-game losing streak, the Warriors lost 14 of them in their last 16 games, after this battle, the Warriors also lost their second place in the West, and the Grizzlies have been 0.5 wins ahead of the Warriors because they defeated the Magic. LeBron James played a phenomenal performance in this game, with 56 points and 10 rebounds in the game.
Speaking about his knee injury after the game, James said: "I can feel that my knee is still uncomfortable, but as long as I play, it means that I have work to do." If it really hurts so much that I can't stand it, I won't be on the stage. (It is clear that the 37-year-old LeBron is still fighting with an injury, and he is also in doubt before the game.)
He also said: "I don't care about scoring 56 points, I only care about all of us beating the Warriors in the second place in the West together, and I'm happy to win." He also talked about his secret to maintaining his body – sleeping more, and he said: "The first thing I did when I went back was to sleep and rest, and after this victory I could sleep more peacefully than I had on the previous nights." ；
James set multiple records in this game, two of which were the only ones in history. 1. He is the oldest player in NBA history to score 55 points + 10 rebounds; 2. He is the only player in history to score 50+ before the age of 21 and 50+ after the age of 37. These two statistics are enough to show how long James's peak is, and he can fly in the 19th season of his career.
Perhaps many people only remember that he scored 56 points in this campaign, in fact, he has three dunks in this campaign, and less than 2 points are left in the last quarter to complete an air relay dunk, as a 37-year-old athlete's physical fitness is his biggest drawback, his physical fitness is often difficult to maintain a high standard in the whole field, but in this campaign, he paid everything to help the Lakers get out of the predicament.
After this game, James averaged 29.4 points per game, plus 8.1 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.89 blocks, shooting 52.2% and 35.4% from three-point range, and he was only 0.1 points away from Embiid, who ranked first in the scoring list, in other words, he still has hope of winning the scoring championship this season, and winning the 37-year-old will be the first in history, and the current 37-year-old Abdul-Jabbar, who averages 14.3 points per game, is in second place, you know the gap.
