On April 3, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. In a Western Focus game yesterday, the Lakers lost 111-114 at home to the Pelicans, suffering a five-game losing streak. James made a comeback in this game, scoring 38 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, and scoring 21 points in the third quarter.
It is worth mentioning that in yesterday's game, James hit a total of 3 three-pointers, which helped him (524 three-pointers) surpass Pope and rise to the 5th place in Lakers history, and the 4 people in front of him were: 1. Kobe Bryant (1827) 2. Fisher (846) 3. Van Exel (750) 4. Scott (595). To be sure, if James continues to play for the Lakers next season, he is expected to continue to climb the list.
In addition, in the NBA's all-time three-point list, James ranked 11th with 2140 three-pointers, and tied for 9th place in history were Pierce and Lillard, who hit a total of 2143 three-pointers. Not surprisingly, James is very likely to finish the rest of the season and finish in the top 10 of the all-time three-point list!
In another statistic, though, James was slightly embarrassed. According to statistics, James and Curry have conceded 32 three-pointers each in key moments of the season (a time when the difference between the two sides is within 5 points in the last 5 minutes of the game), which is tied for the most in the league. According to statistics, James' three-point shooting rate during this period is 26%, and Curry's is 18%. In the final moments of yesterday's game, James got a chance to draw, but his three-point shot was deflected.
So far this season, James has averaged 30.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.1 blocks, 52.4 percent from the field, 35.9 percent from three-point range, and 161 three-pointers per game, and 2.9 three-pointers per game. He's very hopeful of getting the NBA leading scorer this season. If elected, he would be the oldest leading scorer in NBA history.
