On April 1, Beijing time, when James hung up the exemption card due to injury for two consecutive games, is there any hope for him to hit the scoring king this season? With the letter brother and Embiid on the same day to bomb a high score, especially the letter brother hit the 44 points of free throws to kill the Nets, he not only surpassed Embiid to rise to the second place in the scoring list, but also a slight gap of only 0.02 points away from James, so that the suspense of the scoring king was once again breeding, and the current 3 people averaged 30+ per game to create the league's first record in nearly 16 years.
Top four in this season's scoring charts:
1. James: 30.13 points (only 55 games have been played so far, 3 games are still missing)
2. Alphabet brother: 30.11 points
3. Embiid: 30.00 points
4. Durant: 29.64 points (the number of games is not enough, the final season average score, the total points need to be divided by 58 games)
Headwind 1: James has just 0.02 points left in the lead.
With the alphabet brother scoring 44 points and Embiid scoring 37 points, the gap between them and James is narrowing. Before today, Embiid and Alphabet Brother had played 62 games to score 1853 points, resulting in an average of equal points per game. With Alphabet brothers scoring 44 points, the average points per game increased to 30.11 points per game, while Embiid improved to 30 points per game, which is only 0.02 points and 0.13 points away from James.
It is worth mentioning that the top three players in the current scoring list all average more than 30 points per game, becoming the first time since the 2005-06 season in the NBA, when Bryant scored 35.4 points, Iverson scored 33 points, and James scored 31.4 points.
Headwind 2: James' injury recovery is unknown and he will be disqualified if he is unable to play another 3 games.
According to the criteria for selecting the top scorer, 70% of the competitions are required, that is, 58 matches are required. James has only played 55 games so far, and if his knee injury doesn't recover well, he won't be able to play at least three games and won't qualify for at least 58 games. Even if the average score is calculated by dividing the total score by 58 games, James has no advantage, similar to Durant, who does not play enough games, so he will lose.
Disadvantage 3: If James returns, the decline in form will also affect the average score per game.
Even if James can come back and play at least 3 games after that, he needs to continue to maintain an output of 30+ per game, after all, the alphabet brother behind him and Embiid are only slightly different in points per game. Once James recovers from his unsatisfactory state of decline, it will cause his average score per game to continue to decline.
Disadvantage 4: If the return of the thick eyebrow brother may affect James's "grab points".
According to US media reports, James and Thick Brow brother are expected to make a comeback against the Pelicans tomorrow, but James needs to decide whether to come back based on the recovery of his knees before the game. If the thick eyebrow brother returns, his presence will take a considerable part of the offensive scoring, and it will also affect James' impact on the scoring king.
James' 37-year-old is expected to impact the second scoring champion of his career, but many unfavorable factors also affect him to hit the record of the oldest scoring king in history, and whether he can break Jordan's record of the oldest scoring champion in the history of 35 years old is looking forward to.
