On February 7, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Lakers defeated the Pistons 135-129 at home, ushering in four consecutive wins. The Lakers won this battle is not easy, the two teams fought for two overtime to divide the victory and defeat, James became the key figure in the Lakers' victory, he shot two consecutive three-pointers in the second overtime, killing the game at the same time, helping the Lakers avoid being killed by the Pistons.
Statistically, James shot 13-of-26 from the field, 3-of-7 from three-point range, had 33 points, 5 rebounds, 11 assists and 4 steals, Thick Brow also had 30 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, Schroder 22 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists; Pistons, Grant scored 32 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, Plumlee 15 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, and Dronwright had 22 points and 10 assists.
It has to be mentioned that Josh Jackson, although the Pistons lost, but Josh Jackson's performance is absolutely commendable, this game, Josh Jackson came off the bench, 11 of 20 shots, 5 of 10 three-pointers, 28 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, +13 on the field.
Josh Jackson scored only 3 points in the first half, after the start of the third quarter, Josh Jackson scored 8 points in a single quarter, the key fourth quarter, Josh Jackson again had 13 points and 6 rebounds in a single quarter, and 3.1 seconds later, it was Josh Jackson who forced a layup against Schroder's defense and successfully dragged the game into overtime.
It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time that Josh Jackson has played well this season, just a few days ago in the Pistons' game against the Jazz, Josh Jackson also performed amazingly, he shot 7 of 15, 3 of 7 three-pointers, and had 22 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.
Zooming in to the entire season, Josh Jackson played a total of 21 games for the Pistons, averaging 12.3 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game, compared to josh Jackson's total of 22 games last season, averaging only 9.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game.
This year's Josh Jackson is indeed different.
As the fourth pick in the Class of 2017, Josh Jackson was considered talented in the draft, but over the years, whether in the Suns or the Grizzlies, he did not cash in on his talents, and during the Grizzlies, Josh Jackson was once delegated to the Development League.
In addition to his poor performance on the court, Josh Jackson also got into trouble off the court, not only being arrested for drug use, but also cheating on women 22 years older than himself, and giving birth to a child, even taking drugs in front of the child.
So when the Pistons signed a 2-year, 9.8 million contract with Josh Jackson last offseason, many people thought that the Pistons had made the wrong decision, and as a result, Josh Jackson actually became a surprise, and even head coach Casey praised him: "Josh Jackson is a very talented young man, he is trying to learn to attack with the ball, that needs to take on more responsibility." ”
The so-called prodigal son does not change, the things off the court can not be changed, I hope that in the field, Josh Jackson can regain the style of the fourth pick of the year, 23 years old, even if he can not grow into an All-Star, as long as he can sit in the rotation, it is also a success.
