Many fans said that James should control the ball, pass the ball and help his teammates play. James is not only the best scorer ever, but also a super assistant. Can LeBron James play without the ball? American media NBA data experts gave the answer: According to statistics, all players in the league scored in melee (at least 150 rounds) in the past three seasons, and ranked the average score of each round of melee. LeBron James scored 1.6 points (first in the league), Robert Rump scored 1.53 points (second in the league) and Anthony Davis scored 1.49 points (third in the league). As it turns out, James and Brother Thick Eyebrows are the best combination in the league. 170 million in 3 years!
James took the initiative to delegate power. For everyone’s health, the Lakers signed two inside players.
In the 2022-23 season, both James and Brother Thick Eyebrows were injured in the regular season. James was absent for half a month in November, one month in March, and Brother Thick Eyebrows was absent for more than a month from mid-December to late January. The health problems of James and Brother Thick Eyebrows have increasingly troubled the Lakers during the regular season. Last season, Brother Thick Eyebrows averaged 25.9 points +12.5 rebounds (the first in the league) +2.6 rebounds +1.1 assists +2.0 blocks (the third in the league). In the playoffs, Brother Thick Eyebrows averaged 22.6 points +14.1 rebounds (league leader) +2.6 assists +1.4 steals +3.1 blocks (league leader).
American NBA reporter reported that Brother Thick Eyebrows still has a two-year contract worth 83.7 million yuan with the Lakers. As of August, Brother Thick Eyebrows is eligible to renew his contract with the Lakers in advance, with a top salary of 170 million for three years. Brother Thick Eyebrow is now 30 years old and still at his peak, so the Lakers management will definitely negotiate with Brother Thick Eyebrow in advance. Four years after joining the Lakers, Brother Thick Eyebrows and James joined hands to enter the playoffs three times, win the championship once, enter the Western Conference finals once and stop the first round once. After joining the Lakers in these years, Brother Thick Eyebrows won the championship, realized his dream, and got a top salary of 190 million yuan for five years, earning both fame and fortune. The Lakers renewed their contract with Brother Thick Eyebrows in advance, and they will definitely offer a top salary contract.
In fact, in the 2022-2023 season, LeBron James has begun to actively decentralize and play a game with Brother Thick Eyebrows as the first core of the Lakers. In order to support Brother Thick Eyebrows’ position, James has repeatedly publicly stated his position in interviews. There is no doubt that Brother Thick Eyebrows is now the core of the Lakers. In 2020, Brother Thick Eyebrows may still be second, but now the Zhan Mei group wants to win again. Brother thick eyebrows must become the first core and threaten to become the country’s boss. James also knows this very well, so Lao Zhan took the initiative to give power to Brother Thick Eyebrows.
What’s Anthony Davis’s biggest problem?
NBA experts and fans agree that Brother Thick Eyebrows’ biggest problem is not strength, but health. Although Brother Thick Eyebrows doesn’t have an MVP in the regular season, he is the best insider in the double lineup, and holds the double honor certification of rebounding king and blocking king. Brother thick eyebrows’ power must be used. However, in recent seasons, Brother Thick Eyebrows has been plagued by injuries in both the regular season and the playoffs. For example, the Lakers were eliminated in the first round of the 2021 playoffs because of the injury of Brother Thick Eyebrows. In the 2023 playoffs, James and Brother Thick Eyebrows both played with injuries and played very hard.
Pelinka, general manager of the Lakers, said in the latest interview that James and Brother Thick Eyebrows will both recover from injuries and return to 100% health before the start of training camp in the new season.
In addition, in order to protect the health of Brother Thick Eyebrows, the Lakers signed two inside players in the offseason: Hayes and castleton. Hayes has no chance in the Pelicans, but he will get more opportunities in the Lakers. Castleton is an undeveloped city center. He played very well in the summer games. He broke out in three consecutive games, scoring 21 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks in one game. He did a good job. As expected, castleton will definitely join the team. At the same time, Lakers general manager Pelinka said that he would sign another center, including Wood and Bi Yongbo. I hope James and Brother Thick Eyebrows can continue to play healthy football in the new season.
