Today, the Lakers had a local derby and they traveled to the Clippers to take on the Clippers, and they defeated the Clippers 122-97. In this game, the Lakers' new signing Doncic was also watching from the sidelines. Although Doncic will not be able to appear today, according to the reporters at the front, Doncic's comeback will not be too far away.

Today, all the players of the Lakers seem to want to show the face of the Lakers in front of Doncic, and the Lakers made a total of 18 three-pointers today, shooting 48.6% from three-point range and 55.6% from the field. A total of five players on the team scored double-doubles today, three of whom scored more than 20 points, and James scored 26 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 steals today. The Lakers have played very well in the last two games without Davis, showing extreme form on both the offensive and defensive ends.

James was in excellent form today, scoring 26 points on just 13 shots in the game, and he hit 8 of 11 free throws from the free throw line today. Today, Doncic watched James' performance from zero distance off the court. He repeatedly applauded James and his teammates off the court. Seeing that the 40-year-old James can still sprint and run with all his strength on the court, constantly hitting the basket, maybe Doncic finally realized the meaning of self-discipline at that moment.

Only a very disciplined James can still play this explosive performance at the age of 40, so many fans hope that Doncic can learn this kind of self-discipline when he is next to James. I also hope that James can infect Doncic through his own training in daily training, so that he can start to become self-disciplined.

Not long ago, someone cited the data of Doncic and James in previous seasons, although Doncic's data is a little inferior compared to James, but the gap between the two in points, rebounds, and assists is not particularly large. This is enough to see that Doncic is also capable of playing very proud historical numbers at James' age in the future, of course, provided that his career is long enough. Perhaps around James, Doncic will understand what self-discipline will bring him. If he wants to leave his name in the first few pages of NBA history, he may need to change something. For Lakers management, they need to cherish James' remaining one to two years and the changes James has brought to Doncic as a mentor.
