How much energy can a 37-year-old "advanced" athlete have? The 37-year-old Ronaldo is no longer brave and is still dying of old age, but james, who is also 37 years old, tells you with practical actions that as long as he wants to, age is never a problem.
In the long history of the NBA, only 3 players can achieve a great record, that is, after the age of 37, they can still cut 50+ performances in a single game, one is the "basketball god" Jordan, one is the eternal "black mamba" Kobe, and the other is the so-called "super sixth man" Clafford. In the Lakers' home game against the Warriors, "Emperor" James became the fourth person in this list, he shot 19 of 31 from the field, and in the first three quarters, he only played less than 28 minutes, he had already bombed 40 points, and 56 points set a Lakers career high scoring record.
For James, in addition to scoring 56 points in this game, he also ushered in a milestone, that is, he surpassed Carl Malone in total playing time in his career to become the second person in history, and the first person in history in front of him was also from the Lakers' famous "Skyhook" Jabbar. In this game, the Lakers and the Warriors' desire to win is very strong, the Lakers are in jeopardy from the playoffs, and the door to them will be closed without winning the playoffs, and the Warriors are also eager to win, they have suffered three consecutive losses, and if they lose again, they may fall out of the top three in the standings.
James' performance in this game is dominant, 19 of 31, 6 of 11 three-pointers, 12 of 13 free throws, shooting more than 50 percent of every shot, and more importantly, 10 rebounds. James carried the team forward alone, and at this moment he was like a god, who could question James and say that he was no longer able to do it. James told those who questioned him with practical actions: I am still the first person in the league. However, even though James is brave, the current situation of the Lakers is still not optimistic, the team can not always expect James to be a god every game, they have a lot to do.
