Beijing time on October 12, 2020. Game 6 of the NBA Finals was held at home to the Heat, when the Lakers led the Heat by a big margin of 3-2. The scene of the Lakers' defeat at G5 must be remembered by every fan. At the end of the game, James stood on the pitch and looked into the distance, as if he were thinking about something. In this game, James played well, and his hands were hot, shooting 15 of 21 in the whole game, scoring 40 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists.
A domineering scene on James' court
James can get such data, it can be said that he does not know which opponent he can lose. But in fact, James's Lakers did lose, they lost to the Heat 108:111, while the Heat core Butler on the other side, equally hard, had a big triple-double stat of 35 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists. In this campaign, the Lakers role players are almost collectively dumbfounded, the iron of the iron, the delivery of the ball, and most importantly, the key moments are always so uncompetitive.
After the G5 loss, old Zhan silently looked into the distance
G5 ended, all the public opinion pressure came to the Lakers, as the lakers' boss, James is bound to take the Lakers to break through the Heat defense line. For every Lakers player, G6, like a decisive battle, once the sixth game is lost, followed by entering the grab seven, at this time, the Heat have won two consecutive games, morale is great, grab the seven series is considered to be ten to nine stable.
In the Lake Heat Battle, Pope broke through with the ball and attacked
Look at what kind of players James leads on the Lakers side. Rondo always dared not attack with the ball, Kuzma sleepwalked continuously, Green played iron everyone knows, Carosso played from the development league, Howard retired several times, and Morris just made a fatal mistake in G5. Only Davis, the field can easily connect with the old James, assist James to go further. By the way, Green, who is known as the "Crouching Dragon Phoenix" with Green, still played well in the Finals, and the Lakers' last three games to win the championship can average fifteen or sixteen points per game, which can be said to be a good proof of himself.
Old Jen is bound to win on the field
At the start of G6, the world did not know whether this Lakers team could extinguish the fierce Heat, and in the end, they did it. The half-time score was exaggerated to 64:36, announcing the victory of the game in advance, cutting through the iron, refusing the Heat to drag the series into the seventh. James even got a triple-double in the final game, 28 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists, once again creating history and breaking through miracles. This is a 35-year-old Zhan Ah, still able to fly in the sky, tractor-like crushing the Heat defensive line, and even want to be younger than he has developed a super organizational ability, James, still trying to improve himself, without the slightest intention of backing down.
The Lakers won the championship, and zhan mei and the two were interviewed by the media after the game
The Lakers won the championship and relived James's career of career 1.0 more than a decade ago, and the memories appeared like fragments. Those memories of the past, or colorful, or eclipsed, nine times in ten years to reach the finals, the Lakers only reached the top three times before winning the championship. The not-so-high winning percentage of the finals has become a reason for many people to belittle Lao Zhan. Looking back on this today, everything becomes less important.
James set makeup to shine a smile on his face
James first came to the NBA and his first season had already shown people his unparalleled potential. The 03-04 season was an era of high-quality defense, when NBA rules placed much lower demands on defenders than they do today. In the process of the attacker holding the ball to move, the defensive player can use his hand or forearm to act on the body of the player holding the ball, which greatly limits the frame breakthrough players like James.
But even so, James can still play the basic data of averaging 20.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists in his rookie season, shooting 41.7%, which is worthy of becoming the best rookie. James, who averaged 20.9 points per game in his rookie season, was ranked 13th on that year's scoring list, and at that time, the number one was still Tracy McGrady, who was at the peak. Then again, the Cavaliers, which helped James start his NBA journey, last season, the record was 17 wins and 65 losses, no boss support, no core players, the typical swing team, waiting for the arrival of James.
And in this era of high defensive intensity, extremely unfriendly to forward singles, and malicious empty cut prevalence, James can still play 20 +5 +5 super rookie data, helping the Cavaliers to upgrade to the middle and lower reaches of the league, this year, the Cavaliers regular season record is 35 wins and 47 losses, James even if he failed to be a god, can also be said to be a surprise.
Moving into the following year, the 04-05 season, James' overall stats rose, contributing to the Cavaliers' astonishing numbers of 27.2 points, 7.3 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 2.21 steals in the second season of his career. The following year, James was already able to break the wrist with the top five of the league in absolute strength, and the only people who could stabilize the little emperor at this time were KG, Duncan, Iverson, Nowitzki and Xiaosi. The Sharks had reached the end of their careers that year, with their form in full swing, and Nash was also paddling in the regular season, and James the following year had left the two far behind.
James entered the All-Star starter and won the best second team in the second year of his rookie, and the basic and high-level statistics were all at the top of the league, which can be said to be satisfactory, but his luck was still not good, and he did not make the playoffs. You know, LeBron's teammates have improved a lot this year, including center Z Zaydrunas Irgoskas, who is as tall as 2 meters 21, and in terms of strength, he can compare with another partner in james' Cavaliers, Lefour, but big Z is obviously not suitable for James's style of play, and in the end James failed to lead his teammates into the playoffs the following year.
If the bloody rain must have been calm before the arrival, then James's career actually officially kicked off in the 05-06 season. The third year not only bursts of talent, but also experiences and masters the overall situation of the NBA. The 21-year-old James averaged 31.4 points, 7.0 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game, second only to Iverson, the world's best little guard, and 0506 Kobe Bryant, who was unbeatable at the time.
In addition to individual performances, the 06 Cavaliers also had a year of leaps and bounds under James, with a 50-win finish in second place in the East. However, at that time, the team was still poorly compatible, the players were not running in enough, and james needed players who had good adaptability with him and had higher requirements. Despite their first-round playoff victory over the Wizards, who owned the Great General Arenas, they lost to the Pistons, who were the number one in the regular season at the time, in the second round, and fought until they finally lost in the seventh round. Judging James' season, it can be described as almost perfect.
From the beginning of the 0607 season, although James's status in the regular season has declined, the data has shrunk to a great extent compared to the previous season, but entered the playoffs, the wind review reversed, the first round 4-0 swept the Wizards, the second round of 6 games to solve the Nets, to the Eastern Conference Finals again to face the Pistons, James left an eternal classic: G5 slashed 25 consecutive points to kill the Pistons, 48 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists. 22-year-old James, single-core to lead the team to the Finals? But God didn't take care of this shining new star, and in the Finals, facing the experienced Spurs, James plunged headlong into the Spurs' elaborate trap. The Spurs all united, took out James's major technical flaws and pressed them to the ground, coupled with the gap in the two teams, and there was a style of restraint, and in the end, the Cavaliers lost 0-4 is no doubt.
Having said all this, the next James actually does not need to do too much analysis, gradually moving to the peak of the league, becoming the leader of the NBA, and Making a legacy of the baton of the era with Kobe. If the 1.0 generation James is just the data creator of the body explosion, the devil who makes all kinds of leap dunks, and the 2.0 generation of old Zhan has accumulated more experience and played more reasonably, but there is no lack of the momentum of 1.0 young Zhan. It is probably not surprising that at the age of 35, he can still maintain the peak state of his career and create a stunning achievement of nine finals in ten years.
