On March 20, Beijing time, today the Los Angeles Lakers continued their road trip and went to Washington to challenge the Wizards! The Lakers once held a 16-point lead in the game, but Porzingis ushered in a big explosion in the last quarter, leading the Wizards to a wave of decisive moments and reversing the Lakers to win!
In this game, James had 38 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, and in the second quarter, with a layup, he surpassed Malone in his career regular season scores and rose to the second place in history, and the next player to catch up is Karim Abdul-Jabbar, who is still behind by 1440 points and is expected to surpass Abdul-Jabbar and be crowned the all-time scorer next season.
After the game, James also talked about it, James said: "I don't think too much about whether I can become the all-time scoring king, I just have to play my own way, then something will happen naturally, and I need to try to win the game next." ”
"I've always put myself in a position where I can succeed for most of my career. I wish I could achieve that achievement at some point in my career, but I basically wouldn't think much about it until we got there. James continued. From James's remarks, it can be seen that he is not deliberately pursuing the total scoring champion in NBA history, and fans have also said: "James Versailles." ”
Because once he becomes the NBA's all-time total scorer, then James will once again improve his historical status, and O'Neal has also said that once James becomes the NBA's all-time total scorer, then he is willing to call him the best in history. For James, it's only a matter of time before he becomes the NBA's all-time scoring champion. He was doomed to be unable to overwhelm Jordan in height, at least slightly superior in length, and was considered a success.
If you average 25 points per game, James still needs 58 games to surpass Abdul-Jabbar, which is next season. When talking about how to have an evergreen career, James said that it is to stay in good shape, try to maintain good health, try to avoid injuries, and play as efficient as possible.
If James can play for another two or three years, then his regular season career total scores will be expected to exceed 40,000 points, which is probably a record that has never been done before!
