Beijing time on January 11, in yesterday's Lakers against the Grizzlies, although the Lakers regrettably lost, did not win 5 consecutive wins, but the Lakers star LeBron James's explosive performance is still continuing, the whole game, James played 33 minutes, 19 shots 14, including 4 three-pointers 4 shots, 4 free throws 4 shots, bombed 35 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, this is James's last 11 games, the 10th time to bomb 30+ points, This also brings James' average of 28.9 points per game this season, and there is a trend of further improvement.
According to statistics, James has scored a total of 345 points in the past 10 games, which is the highest cumulative score in any 10 consecutive games of his career since 2008, and james has once again set a new record for the highest cumulative score in the 10 consecutive games of the 35-year-old player he has just created (previously 327 points). That is to say, this is 14 years, James's most desperate season on the offensive end, the ups and downs of teammates, Westbrook's lack of strength and thick eyebrows have made James have to take on more offensive responsibility, although the team record is still average, but James has indeed given everything.
Speaking about teammate LeBron James' 30+ scores in 10 of the last 11 games, Lakers guard Ellington said: "I saw everything. He is showing us everything. He's hot outside the three-point line, he's bursting inside, he's playing the number five, he's blocking down, he's blocking, he's playing point guard, he's playing center, and all sorts of roles. To be honest, so far this season, he has done everything for our team. He's all 37 years old, which is incredible. Salute him, no matter what he does, he will continue this performance. ”
Reeves said: "His data is self-evident, and what he is doing is far beyond what the data can show." He was in the locker room, on the bench, constantly talking to us about situations. But I also said that the data shows that he is the greatest player in history. ”
While many people don't agree with Reeves that "James is the best player of all time," there's no denying that James is indeed moving toward that goal, and in fact, in the state James is in, he's very hopeful of achieving a great accomplishment this season that will surpass Carl Malone and become the second-place in the NBA's all-time regular season scoring list.
At present, James's career regular season total score is 36205 points, ranking third in history, 723 points away from the 36928 points of Malone, the second in history, with James's current average of 28.9 points per game, basically only 25 to 26 games can complete the surpass of Malone and become the second person in history to score. At present, the Lakers have 41 games left, as long as James can maintain enough health and form, there is basically no problem in surpassing Malone this season, and at this stage, people are really curious about whether James can surpass Jabbar, or become the first or even the only player in NBA history who can reach 40,000 points.
Of course, for James, personal data is just a natural thing, even if he is 37 years old, his heart is still most concerned about the championship, although the team is not good now, but James has not lost confidence.
After losing to the Grizzlies, James admitted, "I think we've played some really good basketball lately. We hope to continue this trend in the next 41 games. As I said, the best thing about our team is that we're getting back to health, we're accumulating playing time, building some good chemistry... I feel like if we continue to do what we've done in the last week or two, maybe in the last month, then we'll be doing a lot better in the second half of the season than we did in the first half. ”
