Comeback, comeback.
James has missed the last seven games due to a left groin strain, during which the Lakers have a 3-4 record.
James made his comeback debut against the Bulls, who are ninth in the East but only have a win rate of about 40%.
Everyone thought that the bull was a soft persimmon, but they never thought that they could handle it at will, and they would not give Ah King face.
At the end of the first half, the Lakers trailed the Bulls 62-65, and James, who had been absent for a long time, shot 2 of 8 and only scored 5 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal, and the offensive efficiency of 25% shooting rate was greatly unqualified for him.
In the second half, the Bulls went from strength to strength, beating the Lakers 39-27 in the third quarter, extending the lead to double digits, and blasting 104 after the first three quarters.
In the last quarter, the Lakers still couldn't stop the offensive momentum of the Bulls.In the end, it was a 146-115 defeat, losing by as many as 31 points......
In the end, James played 31 minutes, shooting 7-of-16 and scoring 17 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 5 turnovers, Doncic had 34 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 7 turnovers, and Reaves had 25 points and 5 assists.
Over there with the bulls,Keady scored 15 points, 10 rebounds, 17 assists and 8 steals and a quadruple-doubleIf it weren't for the Lakers surrendering early with about 7 minutes left in the final quarter, he might have made a number of steals, but unfortunately there was no if.
Although the game was a fiasco, the good thing is that the Lakers can get Bronny playing time again, hitting all 4 iron shots in 6 minutes, and relying on free throws to score 2 points.
There is no need to worry about the state of the Lakers at all, everyone knows what level the fully healthy version of the Purple and Gold Army is, and when James adjusts to the rhythm of the game, he will naturally be able to break through, and he must not be a game.
It is worth mentioning that after losing to the Bulls, the Lakers' ranking fell to 4th in the West, and the Nuggets rose to 3rd, and the competition between the two teams showed a white-hot trend!
