The Lakers defeated the Pelicans 123-108 to win the crucial card game that hit the playoffs. The Lakers led by 15 points in the first quarter, led by 35 points at halftime, and shot a team-record 15 three-pointers in the half, showing strong offensive firepower, and you can also see how big the potential of the Lakers is. You know, James is still waving a towel on the sidelines in this game, and if you replace Troy Brown with LeBron, the picture is simply too beautiful to see.
After the game, James posted on INS that he was "eager to make a comeback!" And Lakers coach Hamm said: James's injury will be re-evaluated a week later, and before that, I hope that the thick eyebrows can show better performance.
The Lakers will next play the Rockets, Lone Ranger, and Magic, all of which are relatively weak. If the Lakers can achieve three straight wins in the near future, they will be fully up, and their fate is in their own hands, and the first six are just around the corner.
Recent analysis by the US media pointed out: it is not unattainable, and the following three conditions must be met in order to catch up:
- Entering the league before the age of 20;
- Debut is the peak, the peak period ≥ 18 seasons;
- There can be no major injuries that result in season reimbursement;
And there are four players in the current team who are expected to catch up: 1, alphabet brother: 28 years old, 15942 points; 2, Wiggins: 27 years old, 12152 points; 3, Tatum: 24 years old, 9521 points; 4. Doncic: 23 years old, 8841 points.
If I want to say, James is now as long as he plays, he is constantly creating all-time total scoring records, it is still a little difficult to catch up with the total scoring record of Old Jame, but the various youngest scoring records of Old James are the easiest to break.
As modern basketball shoots more and more, the pace is faster and faster, the scoring explosiveness is getting stronger and stronger, there will be some rookie stars with crazy scoring performance, it is estimated that it will not take many years for his record of the youngest in the early stage to be broken, but the more back it is, the safer, mainly the length of the career This is a very harsh condition, like the physical fitness of the old Zhan, by the time of the Lakers has begun to appear irregular injuries, the number of missed games in a few years has exceeded the sum of his previous ten years, This will put forward higher requirements for the career length of stars who want to catch up with him in the future, like Harden, who averaged 36 points per game this season, just a few short years have passed? This is on the basis that he has not experienced devastating injuries, and by the end of each star's career, the transformation of role status, or the influence of the game on the field, will greatly reduce or marginalize their playing power. However, maybe in a few years, a person with physical fitness and scoring ability similar to Lao Zhan will appear, but it is too difficult and difficult, and there will be too many uncertainties in the career of ten or twenty years.
Let's take a look at the key figure in the Lakers' roster today - Beasley. In the Lakers' win over the Pelicans, Beasley shot 8-of-16 from the field, 7-of-12 from three-point range, and chipped in 24 points, three assists and two steals. Beasley is a real pitcher, so why does Beasley have huge offensive ups and downs?
First of all, Beasley's ability to grasp open positions is quite high, but when faced with tight defense, his shooting percentage is average, that is, his strong shooting ability is average. When he overtakes him, the rest of the team will be afraid of him and will target him to defend. So Beasley will be ironed for several consecutive games, as long as you watch the live broadcast, you will find that Beasley holds the ball at the three-point line and is often wrapped. But once Beasley has been ironed for several consecutive games, the opposing team will relax and will no longer defend Beasley, as it did today, so Beasley explodes. Once Beasley explodes, his three-point shot can directly knock the opponent down.
The Lakers successfully threw off the baggage of 47 million before the trade deadline, and each of the reinforcement players is critical, with three points and defense, coupled with the mopping output of Davis and James and key ball ability, the previous starters, such as Schroder, White Rivers, Hachimura, etc. were put off to the bench, and the depth of the lineup was quite OK.
In terms of the team's ceiling ability, the Lakers, Warriors, Suns, and Clippers are the only ones in the West, do you have any questions?
