The Lakers are currently third in the West, and compared with the Jazz, who are the first in the West, they have lost two more games, and the gap is not very large. Although the Lakers don't care about the regular season rankings, as long as they enter the playoffs, staying healthy is the most critical, and Davis has taken several rotations. Like the other superstars, Durant, Alphabet Brother, Leonard, Curry, and Embiid have all taken a break. James for health considerations, rotation is also beyond reproach, fortunately James is not injured, especially after playing back-to-back three games, James is indeed an iron man, is it to get the all-time total scorer as soon as possible and not choose to take a break.
James
If James wants to get the all-time total scorer, he can shoot more and increase his playing time to get more points. If James really wants to show his full strength, it is not difficult to average 30 points per game, but James did not do so, did not suspect the scoring, and even paddled in the game.
James may also be setting an example for other players, players of such a long age, are insisting on playing, young players, afraid of injury, do not play, this is not sportsmanship, you are a professional player, you have to do a good job of professional ethics, no major injuries, you have to play. Consecutive away games, never missed again, playing back-to-back normally. It's a kind of professionalism.
James is not absent for the team to better practice tactics, play a cooperative. The answer is possible, this season the Lakers have changed blood, came Schroader, Harrell, Gasol Jr., Matthews and other players, but also need to constantly hone the lineup, in order to better play the state.
This season the NBA is a shrinkage season, playing up to 72 games, the number of games is not much, in order to get more points to accumulate, you must play more games to get more points. James won last season's championship and has been playing in the playoffs for a long time. Fortunately, the average playing time per game in the regular season has decreased this season, reducing the risk of injury.
James may consider many aspects of the reason not to take a break, first, want to take the historical total scoring king, take advantage of the current can play a good state, as many points as possible, who knows what the state will be in the future, if the state declines, the scoring ability declines sharply, or there is an unexpected injury, it is difficult to get the historical total scoring king in the next season. Second, set an example for young people, and don't choose to take a rotation because you are afraid of injury. Third, for the cooperation of the team, help the new recruits better integrate into the team and play a tactical effect.
James's goal may not be the all-time total scorer, it may be 40,000 points, get 40,000 + 10,000 + 10,000 data, points, rebounds, assists to reach this goal, this is explosive data, it is estimated that after achieving this goal, it is difficult to be surpassed.
