On April 9, Beijing time, the Los Angeles Lakers officially announced that James bid farewell to this season early due to an ankle injury, and the Lakers had the last 2 regular season games left, against the Thunder and Nuggets. Still, james has created a miracle this season.
He played in 56 games for the Lakers this season, averaging 37.2 minutes per game, scoring 30.3 points, 8.2 rebounds and 6.2 assists, shooting 52.4 percent from the field.
According to statistics, in the history of the NBA, James became the first person to average at least 30 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists per game in a single season after becoming Jordan, when Jordan also did this in the 1988-89 season.
After deciding to say goodbye to the season early, James also updated the social media dynamics to respond to the matter: "Grateful for all the love everyone has for me, I originally hoped to end the season with a victorious posture." This season, I've given everything on the pitch. Guys, see you in the fall. #第20年 #Chasing Great #I Am King. ”
It is worth mentioning that since James announced his farewell to this season in advance, this also means that he has withdrawn from the scoring champion battle, and at present, the scoring king is likely to be produced between Embiid and Alphabet Brother.
