On January 8, Beijing time, the Los Angeles Lakers host the New York Knicks. LeBron James, who was ill in the game, played an outstanding role. He contributed 31 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals. The total number of steals in his career reached 1984, which surpassed Allen Iverson to No. 13 in the NBA history. James' performance helped the Lakers to a 117-87 victory over the Knicks. Although Davis's injury has clouded the Lakers' March, as long as James is still there, the purple and gold team can still hold up their banners and sing triumphant songs. This season, facing a team with a winning rate of less than 50%, the Lakers remain unbeaten 21-0, and Zhan Mei's output is crucial. But now the purple and gold army is too dependent on Davis and James. Once one of them is injured, it's a failure to wait for them. Today's Knicks are in average combat effectiveness, and James and Howard are in good competitive condition, so the Lakers don't have too much trouble. If a team like Lone Ranger and Utah can beat the Lakers, let alone the clippers, rockets, bucks and other teams, the purple and gold need to adjust their lineup. According to team reporter Kelly, it's only a matter of time before the Lakers' new star leaves, according to sources. At the beginning of the season, Kuzma has been regarded as the third stable scoring point of the Lakers, but so far, Kuzma's condition is not stable. Compared with the highlights of rookie season, Kuzma's high-level data in these two seasons has declined significantly. In his first season, Kuzma hit 36.6% of the three-point goal, down to 30.3% last year. Although 34.6% of this season's data has rebounded, the per efficiency of 10.6 has declined to some extent compared with the previous two seasons. For other teams, Kuzma's personal scoring ability is undoubtedly its greatest value. In addition to being able to provide firepower, Kuzma's cost-effective rookie contract is also attracting other teams to make deals. With some of Corzine's and cook's support contracts in mind, the Lakers could probably raise $8.5 million in Kuzma's deal. As a trade, the rules allow the Lakers to bring back up to $13.5 million in salaries. Judging from the current situation, the purple and gold army prefer one person, he is king's fierce general Bogdanovic. As we all know, bergdan is a stable shooter, with a certain offensive ability to hold the ball, the ability to attack without the ball is not bad, in addition to his three-point projection is also urgently needed by the Lakers. The Los Angeles Lakers' main team is very strong, but their backup offensive ability ranks last in the league. If bergdan succeeds in joining, he can supplement the offensive firepower for the team's second team, and share the offensive pressure of LeBron James, which can also increase the probability of the purple gold team winning the championship.
