34 points + 28 points! The Lakers' third big man broke out steadily, James was double happy, and the thick eyebrows set a record
The Los Angeles Lakers are an amazing team, and just when you thought they couldn't, the Lakers upset the likes of the Green Army and the Knicks to make it three wins in a row. When you think that the Lakers will play a weak team and win safely, they are prone to upset losses to weak teams. Playing a strong team is five or five, but playing a weak team is unstable, and the American media NBA celebrities say that strong teams are reluctant to meet the Lakers, because the Lakers' "nerve knife" attribute is easy to punch and kill the master. Now that the NBA trade deadline is approaching, will the Lakers make a trade to adjust the lineup? 34 points + 28 points! The Lakers' third big man broke out steadily, James was double happy, and the thick eyebrows set a record.
Russell, the Lakers' third-biggest man, has been solid lately. NBA reporters reported that Lakers All-Star guard Russell has contributed an average of 24.0 points + 2.6 rebounds + 6.5 assists + 0.8 steals + 0.8 blocks per game in the last 13 games, shooting 51.2% from the field, 46.6% from three-point range (first on the team), and 90.6% from the free throw line. Due to Russell's recent good form (34 points + 2 rebounds + 8 assists per game, 28 points + 4 rebounds + 6 assists per game), the Lakers are becoming less likely to trade him. Moreover, it is not cost-effective for the Lakers to trade chips such as first-round picks and Russell now, and Lakers management is more interested in trading rosters in the offseason.
NBA celebrity A Smith analyzes that the Lakers need health more than trade now, because they have injuries to their core players, James and Davis have minor injuries, Vanderbilt, Reddish and Vincent are all absent, and these injury factors have a great impact on the Lakers. When James + Bushy + Vanderbilt are on the floor at the same time, the Lakers have a net efficiency of +18.6. Last season, the core lineup of Zhan Mei Biao Lila helped the Lakers make a crazy counterattack in the second half of the schedule, but this season the Lakers have struggled to assemble this lineup due to injuries.
James is on the door. American media NBA salary experts reported that James can jump out of his contract this summer offseason and renew his contract with the Lakers for up to three years and $164 million. James and Brother Thick Eyebrows are the box office guarantee of the Lakers, as long as James wants to play in the Lakers until he retires, then the Lakers owner will definitely be willing to give Lao Zhan a big contract. Forbes reported that James earned $123 million in the past year (first in the league), Curry earned $112 million (second in the league), and Durant earned $98 million (third in the league).
This season, the 39-year-old James averaged 24.9 points + 7.3 rebounds + 7.6 assists + 1.3 steals + 0.6 blocks per game, shooting 52.2% from the field. James still has very good stats and quality, and when will he retire? However, James now has a total of 39,797 points in the regular season, and he will surely break the 40,000-point milestone this season. Some say that if James keeps playing, he can reach 45,000 points. It is also said that when Lao Zhan feels that his strength is declining, he will definitely choose to retire, because he will not be a role player again.
Lakers reporters reported that Brother Thick Eyebrows set a small record, and Brother Thick Eyebrows became the first player in Lakers history to score at least 25 points + 15 rebounds + 10 assists in a single game and shoot 75%+ from the field. He has been the Lakers' most important offensive and defensive pillar this season, third in the league in rebounds and fifth in the league in blocks, and has contributed immensely on both the offensive and defensive ends. This season, Brother Thick Mei averaged 24.7 points + 12.3 rebounds + 3.9 assists + 1.1 steals + 2.4 blocks per game, shooting 55.5%.
