On March 14, Beijing time, the Suns played against the Lakers at home, which became a game without suspense. In the end, the Suns beat the Lakers 140-111, the Suns bombed 48 points in the first quarter of the game, leading by 26 points in a single quarter, almost using only one section of the game to dispel the suspense of the game, two and a half quarters of scoring broke the hundred is to press the Lakers' defense to the ground friction, the Sun successfully in James's career industry to give the Lakers a humiliating defeat.
The importance of this game for James is self-evident, and when James assisted Anthony to hit the shot, James successfully unlocked a new achievement in his career, scoring 30,000 + assists 10,000 + rebounds 10,000 +, becoming the first player in NBA history to achieve such an achievement, but the only imperfect thing is that the Lakers lost miserably in James's career, and even a humiliating battle, and James was criticized by the domestic celebrity Su Qun.
In the first half of James's time as the starting center, the Lakers almost did not defend, the famous mouth Su Qun criticized James for this responsibility, he said that it is not unreasonable, Ayton and Booker can be said to make the Lakers' defense useless, Ayton is in the first half of 9 of 11 bombed 18 points and 11 rebounds, even if the Lakers can respond on the offensive end, but the lack of the defensive end is doomed to this game will be a fiasco.
But it's obviously unreasonable to blame all of this on the head of the 37-year-old James, who again scored 16 points in the third quarter of the game with 6-of-9 shooting. And in the past two games won by the Lakers, James has won 50 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, as well as 56 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, for a 37-year-old veteran, you absolutely can not ask him to average 30 points per game at the same time, and then spare no effort in the defensive end, there is no way to require him to show absolute dominance at both ends of the attack and defense, and now the Lakers' problem is in the overall aspect.
Although Davis is about to return, but James admitted that this can not solve all the problems, the current Lakers ranked ninth in the West, the 37-year-old James averaging 29.7 points per game to rank first in the league has obviously contributed everything, you can not ask him to score more than 50 points every night, for the current Lakers, must seek change as a whole, want to finally enter the playoffs, must not put hope only on James alone.
