On March 26, Beijing time, when James has risen to the second place in the all-time scoring list, his next goal is to surpass Jabbar to reach the top of the first place in history. It's just that this season James has no hope of surpassing the sky hook, but he still has the hope of hitting the record of the oldest scoring champion in history. With Alphabet Brother and Embiid clocking out of work early in recent games, James' slight lead in the scoring list has expanded, and James has 4 major advantages to impact this year's scoring king.
Top 3 in this season's scoring list (down to two decimal places):
1. James scored 29.96 points
2. Embiid 29.78 points
3. Alphabet brother 29.72 points
Durant averaged 29.7 points per game (less than one)
Advantage one: James currently maintains a slight lead.
If you put the stats only one decimal place, James is currently the only player in the league to average 30 points per game, and Embiid has also averaged 30 points per game for a brief period of time. As for the data after more refinement, James scored 0.18 more points than Embiid and 0.24 more than Alphabet Brother, continuing to lead the way in the first place in the scoring list. Although James' lead is not large, but at least in the leading position, naturally there is a hope to compete for the scoring champion this season.
Advantage two: Embiid and Alphabet Brother are not willing to compete for the scoring king.
Embiid and Alphabet Brother are James' biggest rivals in the race for the scoring king, but apparently so the two MVP contenders, their bigger goal is not the scoring king. Embiid is eager to compete for the MVP and the championship, and the alphabet brother has already expressed that his only goal is the championship. In the recent game between Embiid and Alphabet Brother, both of them clocked in early and did not stay on the court to improve their scores, which also shows that their willingness to compete with James for the scoring king is not strong.
Advantage three: James is in excellent form and has a strong subjective will.
Although James missed the previous game against Philadelphia due to knee pain, James's overall condition is still excellent, allowing him to play, and he still has the ability to guarantee an average of 30 points per game. What's more, James himself has a strong subjective will, he is eager to compete for this season's scoring champion, so that he will surpass Jordan's record at the age of 37 and create the oldest scoring champion record in history.
Advantage four: The Lakers need to turn on the full-strength Zhan mode for the rest of the schedule.
The Lakers are currently only 10th in the West, and they have two next card games against the Pelicans, and only have a two-win advantage over the Spurs behind them. The remaining schedule of the Lakers is too difficult, and if they want to keep a play-off spot, they need James to go all out to open the full-strength Zhan mode to score, so James is expected to hit the high score again, and will also compete for the scoring king this season.
