The old and pretty "melon" has recently added another thing to be happy about! In addition to being named to the NBA's 75th Star, he overtook Malone in the career totals rankings and squeezed into the top ten. However, at the moment of breaking records, he may not be as talkative and funny as he thinks. Counting the warm-up game, the Lakers have sadly swallowed eight consecutive losses and almost overturned the ship again because of Ja Morant's 40 points and 10 assists in a single game - the situation is stuck in the last few seconds and still struggling with free throws. Fortunately, Anthony scored 28 points, Wei Shao turned the team for the first time "double ten", and the final key penalty was also well grasped by Munch and the thick eyebrow brother - all these factors added together, and the Lakers had a hard time winning. Because of this, Anthony can smile more and accept his record night, drawing a happy end in the terrifying waves.
"At this point in time, no matter what the team needs me to do, I'm OK!" When asked about his position on the Lakers before the season, he always had a natural attitude, saying things like "I want to start first" or "it's best to start from the bench." So far in the pre-season, he has indeed started as a substitute and paid the team's reassuring results. Although it was not he who scored the winning penalty, without his "rejuvenation" performance at both ends of the attack and defense, the Lakers probably would not be able to last until the last moment. "I played for 17 or 18 years, but the real time on the bench was only a year, and a lot of things were actually different from what I thought." "Even last year [at Pioneers], I had a lot to adjust – but with my first experience and slow understanding of my mission, everything was pretty cool." "I think it's probably the same over here." Perhaps it is precisely because of this realization, coupled with last year's experience, that Anthony, who took the initiative to change himself, was able to stabilize his rhythm and silently contribute to the team.
With the Lakers and the Grizzlies in the third quarter left in the third quarter, when the Lakers trailed 80-81, Anthony's two consecutive outside shots helped the team return to the lead, and he also officially surpassed Malone's accumulated 27,409 points and jumped to the ninth place in the scoring list. Although this happiness did not last long, after all, Morant sent an assist to tie the score next round, but Anthony did not panic because of this. After a period of silence, he scored 12 points in the fourth quarter to tie, advance and extend the lead. With one minute left, he struggled to grab the offensive rebound generated by Wei Shao's missed hand, quickly making up two points to let the Lakers regain the three-point gap. What is even more blood-boiling is that Anthony also rewarded Morant with a pot. Next, it's the well-known free throw contest. At the end, the score was 119-118, almost without pressure, Anthony still completed the task cleanly and neatly, 2 of 2 penalties, and greeted the hard victory of himself and his team in the cheers of the whole audience.
"The Lakers won for the first time this season" and "James almost injured" games, but we all know that before the Lakers won this victory, it may be the most patient person in the world for them - head coach Vogel, who is not stingy to give Anthony praise, but also slightly exaggerated. "When he reached this milestone, he didn't climb up on a calloused foot." "Judging from tonight's performance, Anthony seems to have just blown the door away." Although this description is a bit doting, we have to admit that Anthony has regained the momentum of the scoring king, especially after breaking the record and scoring 12 points in a single quarter, not to mention how thrilling and compact the game is, and it is really until the last minute to divide the winner. And the importance of this victory for the Lakers with low morale and clashes between teams is really self-evident and worth recalling. In addition to this, we can also see anthony's growth in recent years in this victory. Whether it's getting multiple assists and scoring, being willing to adjust the positioning given to him by any team, or doing hard work to grab rebounds under the basket, these are all changes that we couldn't have imagined a few years ago. Those labels of "self-made king", "ball bully" and even "big name" and so on.
Finally, in this list of NBA career total points, only Anthony and third-ranked James are active players. This alone has been recorded. As for Kobe Bryant and Nowitzki, who used to be Mercedes-Benz in the same arena, they have also retired, but the score gap is a bit much. Now ranked, and the closest to Anthony is O'Neal, with a career total of 28,596 points, so far to save 27,423 points Anthony to go further, may be a little bit of a struggle, but all this may be for him. Especially from the interview, we can know that he is now more concerned about whether the team can win than the score. This kind of reality that the years make people old and the waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves does not consume Anthony's enthusiasm for work, but allows us to see a better him than before.
