James returns to the king. Although James returned to the Lakers in his first game and lost to the Bulls, it is still good news for the Lakers.
A game doesn't mean anything. James has been recovering from injury for a long time and still needs time to find form. Against the Bulls, James came off the bench and played 29 minutes and 32 seconds, shooting 6-of-11, 7-of-8 from the free throw line, scoring 19 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and making 5 turnovers. It's clear that this isn't James' peak form. The tacit understanding between James and his teammates must also be run-in through the game. When James finds his form and the run-in with his teammates is in place, the Lakers will become a team that cannot be ignored.
The thick-eyed brother said in an interview that although the team failed to win, James felt good. Having James awesome in the next 7 games so they can solve some problems.
James created a medical miracle! According to James, he tore a tendon in his right foot, an injury that usually takes more than four weeks to recover. Two doctors had recommended that James undergo surgery, and once the surgery was done, it would result in James being reimbursed for the season. The two doctors then looked at James's feet again and determined that he was recovering. James said he would check after the season to see if he needed surgery, and he is now sure he doesn't need it.
The tendon tear healed without surgery in just 4 weeks, and James created a medical miracle! Doctors told James he recovered at the fastest rate they'd ever seen.
James's body is indeed very powerful, it can be said that it is an incredible degree. The average person has to recuperate for ten days and a half a month, and when James was young, he stomped his foot with tight laces. It wasn't until he got older that James' ability to fight injuries declined. James is 38 years old, but he is averaging 29.3 points, 8.4 rebounds and 6.9 assists per game this season, which doesn't look like 38 at all.
Although the Lakers lost to the Bulls, they are in good shape. In the Western Conference standings, the Lakers are 37-38 and ninth in the West, just 1.5 wins behind the sixth-place Warriors in the West. The Lakers had an easy schedule for the rest of the season, with 3 welfare games against the Rockets and Jazz. As long as the game with the Bulls, Clippers, Suns, and Timberwolves can be played a little better, it is no problem to keep 8-6. James said that his comeback is to help the Lakers hit the top six in the West, he doesn't want to play the playoffs, he hopes to lead the Lakers to the top six in the West and get a playoff ticket directly.
Even if the Lakers can't finish in the top six in the West, as long as they can play the playoffs, getting a playoff ticket with their strength is almost a sure thing. And in the playoffs, it's a new beginning. The Lakers have a full roster that has the ability to beat any team, including the Nuggets, who are the first in the West, the Suns with Durant, and the defending champion Warriors.
So is the Lakers championship stable? Of course not. While a well-rounded Laker has the ability to beat any team, having a full roster is the hardest thing for the Lakers to do. Injuries are unpredictable, and both James and Bushy Brother have injury concerns. And even if the Lakers have a full roster, they only have the ability to compete for the championship, and the Nuggets, Suns, and Warriors are also capable of competing for the championship. The brave wins when the narrow road meets, and whoever can have the last laugh depends on who is braver.
