On March 13, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. In yesterday's Lakers 122:109 win over the Wizards, James played 37 minutes and shot 18-of-25, including 6-of-9 from three-point range, 8-of-8 from the free throw line, and slashed 50 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists!
It was James' 2nd 50+ in 6 days and he set a series of great records. Among them, James slashed 50+ with a shooting percentage of more than 50%, a three-point shooting rate of more than 40%, and a free throw shooting rate of more than 90%, which makes him the youngest player in NBA history (20 years and 80 days) and the oldest (37 years and 71 days) to do it, which is simply incredible.
After yesterday's game, some American media turned over James's remarks 9 years ago. James once said, "If I want to, the top scorer every season is mine!" So far in his career, James has only won the scoring championship once (2007-08), but this does not hinder James's super scoring ability. After scoring 50 points yesterday, James topped the league's leading score with 29.7 points per game, and if he can maintain that advantage until the end of the season, he will become the oldest leading scorer in NBA history.
Perhaps feeling relaxed after winning, James frantically updated his social media after yesterday's game. He posted photos of himself at yesterday's game and promoted his personal show "The Shop." It is worth mentioning that James also forwarded a highlight that Irving once scored 57 points in a single game, when the two played for the Cavaliers together. James wrote: "I witnessed his greatness in the best position in that arena. ”
According to the schedule, the Lakers will challenge the Suns on the road tomorrow. The Lakers currently have a record of 29 wins and 37 losses, and for them, every next game can not be lost.
