The NBA regular season continues, and today the Lakers hosted the Kings back-to-back, and they finally won 131-127 against the Kings, and now they have won three in a row. In this game, James personally scored 32 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists, 4 of 9 shots from beyond the three-point line, Davis also cut 31 points and 9 rebounds, and the two of them combined for a total of 63 points to help the Lakers win.
This game is a back-to-back game for the Lakers, and it can be clearly felt that the Lakers still have some problems in terms of physical strength, and there have been many slackness on the court. Including today, Davis also reduced the number of shots he made, which shows that Davis does have some physical problems in back-to-back games. When the Lakers trailed by seven points after the third quarter, the fourth quarter was led by James when Davis wasn't on the court.
It was clear that James thought it was time to make a splash at that point, so he hit back-to-back three-pointers and scored 16 points in the fourth quarter. The Lakers almost relied on his single-handedness to score consecutive points to quickly establish a more than a dozen points lead, and in the end, the Lakers also relied on that one-point lead to suppress the momentum of the Kings. Finally won at home.
In the first two games, James deliberately reduced the number of shots he made, and after the game, he also emphasized the importance of Davis to the team, and he also wanted to give Davis as many offenses as possible. But in back-to-back games today, when he found out that Davis had a physical problem, James still stood up decisively.
After the first two games, many fans thought that James was old, but in fact, today's game can clearly see that James is constantly adjusting his physical strength during the long season. In the first two games, Davis arguably played a dominant performance, and James was also rested to a certain extent. Today, when Davis had a problem with his stamina, James took over the game again. So two people can be said to complement each other and give each other a chance to rest. This is also the advantage of a team having two attacking strengths, they can take turns to get rest, and they can take turns to adjust their stamina.
Through today's game, many Lakers fans have great expectations for the overall prospects of the Lakers in the new season. On the one hand, Davis has been in excellent form this season, scoring more than 30 points in three consecutive games. And James still hasn't declined much at this age, and the Lakers' overall offense has become more fluid, and the half-court offense is more organized and tactical. Such a Lakers team is really expected to return to the championship ranks, I wonder what fans think?
