On March 13, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. In a focus battle yesterday, the Lakers beat the Wizards 122:109 at home, stopping a two-game losing streak and turning the record into 29-37 and continuing to rank 9th in the West.
In this game, Lakers veteran James played very well. Throughout the game, James played 37 minutes, shooting 18-of-25, including 6-of-9 from three-point range and 8-of-8 from the free throw line, for a total of 50 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists! This is James' second 50+ in the last 3 games, and his average score per game has risen to the top of the NBA list!
According to statistics, in the past three games, James has cut 50+ in two games and a triple-double in one. Looking at NBA history, apart from James, the only person in NBA history who has been able to do this is Chamberlain (March 5-8, 1963).
In another statistic, James has played as a starting center in 11 games this season, averaging 35.3 points per game, shooting 55% from the field and 40% from three-point range, including two 50+ games. Since All-Star Weekend, James has averaged 33.4 points per game, second in the league, behind Tatum's 34.9 points.
Famous media also compared James and football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. They wrote: James, 37, slashed 50+ twice in a week; 37-year-old Ronaldo scored a hat-trick. As two veterans in different fields, they are still playing out the myth of immortality.
James has averaged 37 minutes per game so far this season, averaging 29.7 points, 8.2 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks, and would set the NBA's oldest record if he can be elected the NBA's leading scorer.
According to the schedule, the Lakers will challenge the Suns on the road tomorrow.
