It only took three and a half quarters for the old and spicy Lakers to let Texas Xiaoqiang surrender, but as he grew older, Lao Zhan, who was gradually questioned as a data brush, once again felt mediocre and only scored the lowest 16 points in the season.
Since many fans feel that Lao Zhan just wants to break through the 40,000-point mark as soon as possible and become the first Mr. 40,000 points in NBA history to officially retire, so in their opinion, Lao Zhan is playing now, but he is just living for the record, and as for the team's record, whether it can enter the playoffs has long been irrelevant. But is that really the case?
Although Lao Zhan didn't score much in this game, he still had 7 assists, and as long as there was a gap under the basket to insert, Lao Zhan would definitely not hesitate to score points by attacking the basket with high difficulty.
As for why Lao Zhan can't even score 20 points, and many times he doesn't have the desire to attack with the ball, it does have something to do with young people and role players playing well. Several outside shooters in this game, Plath, Reddish, Reaves and Christie not only all scored double-doubles, but also had better shooting percentages than Lao Zhan. In this case, Lao Zhan really has no need to continue to be jealous with young people.
As for Lao Zhan's inactive scoring points, look at Dillon, who has been provoking Lao Zhan, who is busy and busy, and only 10 points are in the account. What's more, Lao Zhan also has his own charge buff aura, as long as he can play a catalyst role, as long as the team present has the momentum to grab points, it seems to be enough.
Such a comparison is by no means comparable to Miura Chiliang, who is the data and record brush, and who is the pillar who can really lead the team forward, but all the old fans who know about penalties can see at a glance.
Not to mention Miura Chiliang, even an era-level player like Messi Ronaldo can only play in the five major league-level leagues throughout his career, but he can't do it. But Lao Zhan has been a leader since he entered the league in 2003, and his high salary has not changed, even if the 40,000-point mark is really the end of his career, Lao Zhan is not climbing over, mixing up, and passing, but just like a crowned king, he has stepped over like a pure master.
