On March 6, Beijing time, the NBA field ushered in a focus battle of the National Live Broadcast, the Los Angeles Lakers sat at home to meet the Warriors, both teams are in poor condition, and they also hope to end the losing streak on each other, and finally after 4 quarters of intense competition, the Los Angeles Lakers laughed to the end, because they have a god-like James today.
For most of the game, it was the Warriors who took the lead in the score, and even though James scored 40 points in the third quarter, the Lakers still belonged to the role of a catcher. In previous games, if James's three consecutive quarters of outbursts still could not establish a lead for the Lakers, then when James's physical strength declined in the fourth quarter, the Lakers would have a hard time winning.
But this game is different, James still has a god help in the 4th quarter, and it is his consecutive three-point shots that allow the Lakers to achieve a score reversal. And when the game entered the final minute, the Lakers, who were only three points ahead, had not yet dragged the victory into their pockets, and it was James who stood up, and it was his breakthrough point that allowed Anthony to hit the most critical three-pointer, and then the Warriors took a foul tactic, but James's steady two-point shot, so that his score was fixed at 56 points, also helped the Lakers take away the victory.
The game was James' career night, setting 12 individual records, including becoming the oldest NBA player with 55 points and 10 rebounds in a single game, the fourth in history to still score 50 points at the age of 37, and the only superstar in NBA history to score 50 points before and after the age of 21.
But under james's horrible performance, the Lakers can only win the opponent thrillingly, mainly because the help provided by other teammates is not enough. Westbrook scored 20 points in the game and shot more than 50 percent from the field, his best performance in recent games, with another veteran, Anthony, contributing 14 points and hitting three-pointers in the most critical moments. But these three veterans alone are not enough for the Lakers to easily beat the opponent, and the young players in the team have not been able to share the pressure for them, especially Tucker, who is expected the most by the Lakers.
After the end of last season, the Lakers let go of extremely powerful players such as Caruso, Drummond and Bradley, and used the small salary space to provide Tucker with a three-year, 30 million contract, because the Lakers believed in Tucker's potential and thought that he could grow into a very good player in the Lakers, thus being able to carry the future of the Lakers.
But Tucker's performance this season has been disappointing, averaging only 9.3 points and 3.2 rebounds per game, shooting 41% from the field, shooting only 27.5% from three-point range, very inefficient, and very physically very good Tucker, this season's defensive efficiency is only 140th in the league, he can not even become a qualified role player. Tucker's performance in this game was even worse, scoring 2 points on just free throws in 18 minutes of playing time, and there was a scene that was most unacceptable to fans.
In the final moments of the 1st quarter, Tucker's attack with the ball was snatched, and his first choice was not to retreat quickly, but to shake his body and walk back slowly, allowing the Warriors to easily counterattack and score. Such a scene made the commentator Su Qun teacher can't look down, and directly evaluated what Tucker was doing after losing the ball and shook his head and tail to quickly defend ah. After Tucker renewed his contract with the Lakers, not only did his personal performance decline, but his enthusiasm was even more intolerable, and such a player could not make people have high hopes for him.
When the departing Caruso and other players played well, Tucker's performance was getting worse and worse, especially such a negative game attitude, which has made him one of the negative assets of the Lakers, and the Lakers could not even send him away in the first round before the trade deadline, so Tucker became one of the obstacles to James' championship in the last year of his career, and in the next offseason, how to send away Tucker and Westbrook will become the biggest problem for the Lakers management.
