At 39, the fan favorite that year was that the Warriors' 38 (Iguodala) averaged 2 points per game, and the Lakers' 38 jumped like the Rockets. By the age of 39, James should calm down some, but 23-24 season, 39 years old state seems better than 38 years old James.
On December 8, the semi-final of the mid-season championship, the Lakers played the Pelicans, this game, in the words of the commentators Wang Meng and Wang Shipeng, the Pelicans' chance is in Zion, if Zion can play well and drive the team, the Pelicans can win, because they did not think that the Lakers would arrange who to guard Zion, because James is 39 years old. If he's guarding Zion and running the offense, it's a little disrespectful of a 39-year-old man.
But after the opening scene, Zion began to complain, for the simple reason that the 39-year-old man really did not think of himself as a human being. An opening defense into 2+1, the whole game for Zion's defense, let the fat tiger feel the uncomfortable feeling of hand grip, the whole game, the fat tiger got 13 points, 2 rebounds, 3 mistakes and 3 fouls data, look at the 39-year-old, 9 of 12, 4 of 4 three-point shots, got 30 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, the data is James in 23 minutes to get, By the end of the third quarter, the Pelicans had given up 39 points and the game was no longer in doubt.
Big win opponents, interesting is that in the game, when James hit the three-point shot against Zion's defense, James's shout to Zion also made the fat tiger laugh, which also made many fans curious, what did James say to the fat tiger? Obviously, Zion is not Durant, not a bowl of bathwater can make him happy. After the game, the Fat Tiger responded that James is a funny guy and I enjoy such confrontations. James, for his part, said he wasn't talking trash, telling Zion, "You've done a great job at your age." James for Zion's affirmation, but also let the fat tiger laugh, but think about it, James is not in and fat tiger said this is still my era?
By winning this game, James is getting closer to cashing in on his $500,000 bonus for leading his team to the championship. With a spot in the Finals locked up, how much money do Lakers players now get? It is reported that the team entering the final, the guaranteed bonus is $200,000 per person, and is after tax, it is worth mentioning that, because it is the first season of the championship, the beautiful owner of the Lakers Jenny Bass also put words if the Lakers win, the team will reward, the Lakers have the opportunity to increase a large number of bonuses, we also believe that under the incentive of the prize, Lakers fans will soon be able to shout those five words.
