Yesterday's James, who shot only 3-of-14, only got 11 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, with a plus/minus of -17. Many times the basket was finished, but the last one was just missing, and it just didn't score. His 21.4 percent shooting percentage is the lowest single-game shooting rate James has had since Oct. 31, 2007, and it's been 6,209 days.

However, the good news is that James' all-time record for scoring in two consecutive games has not been interrupted, and he has played 1,225 consecutive games so far, and the last time he scored in single digits was on January 6, 2007.

Why is James so sluggish? After yesterday's game, Lakers reporter Jovan Buha said that James was hoarse in the locker room and had symptoms of a runny nose. James confirmed that he has been battling the disease since last Friday.

However, James' condition has improved, saying: "You can tell in my voice that I'm much better. ”

I'll just say, 40-year-old James, it's normal for him to have ups and downs. If you are sick or have a tight schedule, you will inevitably not perform at your normal level. As long as James recovers, he will still be the one who can carry the team forward.

The Lakers, who have won three in a row, suffered a loss yesterday and felt like a roller coaster at its highest point and suddenly stopped due to a malfunction.

After the loss, no one on the Lakers team felt bad. James and others confirmed that Redick was angry in the locker room after the game.

Facing the camera, Redick said, "I hate losing. ”

And, Redick took the blame, feeling that the loss was his own problem: "If I'm going to be picky, that's probably my problem. We shouldn't have scored 14 points in the second quarter, and that's my fault. ”

I have to say that such a coach is really good. These statements really encourage the players to work harder. If the coach says, 'Hats out,''They're playing better than us,' something like that, it's not going to work.

Due to injuries and other reasons, the Lakers have used nine players in the rotation since the start of the season. Wood is expected to have a new update soon, he has been training recently, but he is not yet fully matched. On October 18, the Lakers reporter reported that the team will update Vanderbilt's situation in two weeks, which should be this weekend, and the Lakers' No. 3 and No. 4 positions need to be able to reduce the burden on James and Hachimura.

Well-known journalist Shams reports that Lakers center Christian · Koloko has passed the physical examination of the NBA fitness testing team and is ready to play. Koloko will begin training with the Lakers this week in what will be his first game since April 2023, having been plagued by blood clot issues throughout his career.

That's great news for the Lakers' development plans, who now have Koloko, combined with the recent successes of Reaves and Knecht. The Lakers are interested in Koloko, and they will offer the center to play alongside Anthony · Davis in the frontcourt.

Koloko, who is 2.16 meters tall and weighs 102 kilograms, was selected by the Raptors with the 33rd pick in 2022, and in the 2022-23 season, he played in 58 games for the Raptors, averaging 13.8 minutes per game, 3.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.0 blocks, shooting 48.0% from the field and 62.7% from the free throw line. In the 2023-24 season, Koloko temporarily left the field due to blood clot problems.

As a center forward, Koloko with thick eyebrows can reduce the defensive pressure of thick eyebrows on the inside to a certain extent.

The Lakers will play the second game of a five-game road streak tomorrow against the first Cavaliers in the East, and they have won four in a row, which is not a small test for the Lakers. James Bronny's first visit to his hometown team as a teammate is worth watching.
