Zhan Huangbang 30+7+9 created another miracle! The Lakers held the 9:6-0 law in the West

On February 24, Beijing time, James, who missed the last game, ushered in a comeback, and in the game against the Spurs, he played an all-round performance, shooting 13 of 22, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 30 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, with a game-high plus/minus of +21. Brother Bush had 28 points and 13 rebounds, Russell had 22 points and 6 assists, Hachimura contributed 17 points and 7 rebounds, and Reeves contributed 10 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists. The Lakers' starting lineup is getting better and better, and the team's regular rotation is gradually stabilizing.

The Lakers were at a critical juncture in the battle for position, on this day the Warriors beat the Hornets to move up to ninth in the West, but the Lakers returned to ninth in the West after beating the Spurs, and the Warriors were only 0.5 wins behind the Lakers.

The Lakers have reached the stage where they have to sprint, and the competition for a spot in the Western Conference play-offs is fierce, and a higher ranking means a better advantage in the playoffs.

The main purpose of the Spurs this season is to practice, Wembanyama played 27 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 steals and 5 blocks, showing his talent to the fullest, and he only played 31 minutes.

James made two three-pointers in this game, and the Lakers' career three-point shooting tally reached 751, surpassing Van Exel's (749) to move into third in team history, the first two being Kobe Bryant (1,827) and Fisher (846). Three-point shooting is not James' strong point, but he didn't expect his work with the Lakers for a few years, and the number of three-point shots in the Lakers' career has rushed to the third in team history. In addition, James ranks first all-time in scoring double-doubles in 1,201 consecutive games, and the second-place scoring double-double that still exists in the current roster is Embiid's 169-game scoring streak.

James recently suffered an ankle injury and missed the last game on the road against the Warriors, and the Lakers lost a crucial card battle, casting a shadow over the playoff spot. In this game, James returned, and he played with ease on the court.

James is very efficient offensively while also constantly feeding his teammates. He paused slightly after a successful steal, saw Prince pass through the opponent on a fast break, and immediately passed the ball to the opponent, who scored an easy layup, and also made a foul, playing 2+1.

He instigated 3 attacks in a row, and Brother Thick Mei easily ate cakes to score. James finished with 10 points, four rebounds and six assists on 5-of-9 shooting in the half. James also had a humiliating scene in this game, with Spurs player Branham attacking with the ball and James making up for the defense. Branham violently blocked James, and it is worth mentioning that Branham is also from St. Vincent-St. Mary's High School and belongs to James's younger brother.

James played steadily, and he singled Sochan many times in this game. The Lakers took the initiative with greater strength. However, the Lakers also had an unsatisfactory situation in the second half, and the Spurs attacked fiercely and once narrowed the score gap to only 3 points, which made the Lakers break out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, James, Bushy Eyebrows, Russell and Hachimura were stable enough to hold on to the victory.

The Lakers have been getting better with their current starting set, and since coach Darvin Ham started on Feb. 4 with Russell, Reaves, James, Hachimura and Bushy Eyebrows, the Lakers are 6-0 with a full five. The Lakers lost to the Nuggets on Feb. 9 without Russell. The Lakers lost to the Warriors on Feb. 23 without James.

When the Lakers' starting five are all on the court, the Lakers are undefeated since Feb. 4. Lakers coach Darvin Ham has experimented with a lot of lineups this season, starting with Russell, Reaves, James, Prince and Bushy Eyebrows at the start of the season, and his initial idea was to shoot as many shots as possible around James and Bushy Eyebrows.

But Prince isn't actually a power forward, and his defense isn't tough enough, he's more of a small forward. The Lakers' roster didn't work well defensively. Ham then experimented with a variety of lineups, but still stuck with Prince's start. Later, Ham finally figured it out and replaced Prince with Vanderbilt, and the Lakers rebounded. Unexpectedly, Fan Debiao then suffered a serious foot injury. Ham then pushed Hachimura into the starting line-up.

Its practical Hachimura starters were originally the starting lineup that the outside world was more optimistic about, but Ham experimented with it for most of the season before he woke up and used this set of starters.

The Lakers now have a 31-37 record and are ninth in the West, the Warriors are 29-26 and 10th in the West, the Suns are 33-24 and eighth in the West, the Kings are 32-23 and seventh in the West, the Mavericks are 33-23 and the Pelicans are fifth in the West. As for the top four teams in the West, the Lakers are basically hopeless to catch up this season. It can be said that the six teams between 10th and 5th in the West will battle it out for a playoff spot in the remaining games.

The Lakers' prospects for this season are still in suspense, and the most important thing for them is that James and Bushy Eyebrows stay healthy. James now has a hidden ankle injury and the situation is not very favorable.
