On January 31, the Lakers lost to the Hawks. The Hawks have not had a good run of late, sitting 10th in the East and having been beaten by Doncic for 73 points. However, the Lakers had tough injuries in this game, starting with Davis's groin injury against the Warriors, who retired early in the fourth quarter against the Rockets, and missed this game due to injury. Secondly, Hayes was scheduled to start by Hamm before the game, and Wood was suspected of expressing his displeasure. The second is back-to-back, which is very unfriendly to James, the oldest player at 39.
Although tired, James still got the job done, and his stats were 20 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. But the Lakers can't play only James, but the Lakers can only rely on James to play without Davis.
After the game, James was interviewed about his responsibilities. James said he will try to play quality basketball when he is healthy. James said that in addition to his own play, his task will also help his teammates to play more effectively and improve their efficiency. James said that whether the Lakers lose or win, he has a clear conscience about his attitude.
However, James doesn't think he's perfect, at least in this game, he's not happy enough with his free throws to think he's going to shoot better. As a leader, James has such an attitude, which is an honor for the Lakers.
Despite James' efforts to change the atmosphere of the Lakers, the Lakers are still dead at times, which makes it difficult for Christians. James said that the Lakers sometimes have energy and sometimes they don't, which is known from the fact that their record is hovering around 50%. The Lakers can beat any opponent in any game, but they can also be blown up by any opponent.
