The Lakers snapped a nine-game winning streak with a successful win over the Knicks on Feb. 4. The Lakers' last two victories are not without glory. In the last game, without James and Davis, the Lakers still relied on Reaves and Russell, two players in the trade scandal, to defeat the Lakers' arch-rival - the Celtics, who have the best record in the league, in Boston. In this game, James and Davis returned, the opponent Knicks is a strong team that has won nine games in a row, and the team's boss Brunson has experienced the last U.S. men's national basketball team and became an All-Star substitute this year.
James performed very well in the game, scoring 24 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block, once again breaking his multiple milestones. Not only did it approach 1,200 consecutive double-doubles in scoring, but it also reached the all-time milestone of 11,000 rebounds in rebounding. What is particularly striking is that James is rapidly approaching the milestone of 40,000 points and 411 feats at this stage, and the NBA official has also started the countdown for him.
It's just 229 points away from 40,000 points, and at James' 25 points per game, it takes less than 10 games to achieve that achievement. Perhaps in Game 9, the opponents are the Clippers, with Leonard, George, Harden and Westbrook. If it's Game 8, the opponent is the Suns, with Durant, Booker and Beal. And the opponent in Game 10 will be the Wizards.
Trae Young has been nicknamed "Mayor of New York" on the internet because he has dominated the Knicks in the playoffs. However, James has an equally good record against the Knicks, winning 12 games and losing just one of his last 13 home games with the Knicks. James was already the "mayor of New York". Of course, the Knicks preferred James to be the emperor of New York, so they were always eager to recruit James. In a pregame interview, James revealed that he considered joining the Knicks in 2010.
Overall, the Lakers' recent performances have been remarkable, and James' individual accomplishments have been breathtaking. The cohesion of the team and the breakthrough of the individual complement each other. In the process, we saw the strength of the Lakers and the extraordinaryness of James. We're looking forward to the games ahead and James' milestones. Do you think James will be able to accomplish 40,000 points in the near future? Looking forward to hearing from you.
