New season focus, James Challenge the historical scoring champion
2022-23 The new NBA season will ignite the war on the 18th US time. The NBA officially listed three major focus points, among which the most eye-catching one is Lakers Superstar James Have a chance to challenge "Tian Gou" Jabbar maintains the league scoring record for 23 years.
After the whole summer of reinforcement, all teams are ready to prepare for the new season. Except for the Warriors who will seek to defend the champion, all their eyes are focused on James. As the No. 1 pick in the 2003 draft, James has played for Cavaliers , Heat and Lakers in the past 19 seasons. He has 4 championship rings and averaged 30.3 points per game last season and is the second best in his career. He is a veteran god of war.
James' total career score so far has reached 37,062 points, leaving only 1,326 points behind Jabbar's 38,387-point record. James's score was only less than 1,200 points in the 2020-21 season, so the outside world believes that this record will be James's pocket.
In addition, the NBA official also pointed out that the top spot in the Eastern Conference has not been successfully defended in the past five seasons, with the Cavaliers, Raptors, Heat, Bucks and Celtics winning the championship. Who will dominate the new season?
Last season, three star match members changed the track in the summer. The former Jazz center Gobert changed to Timberwolves battle jersey, star guard Mitchell defected to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Spurs shooter Murray switched to the Hawks. Whether they can make a fortune in the new owner is also the focus of attention from all walks of life.
Lakers and Suns 3 for 2, Paul joins the Lakers and James joins the first championship in his career
Today, the US media NBA analysis website gave a 3 for 2 trading proposal between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Fenicks Suns. The specific plan for the transaction is: Phoenix Suns won Russell Westbrook , the first round pick in 2027 and the first round pick in 2029; the Lakers won Chris Paul and Jay Crowder.
In some ways, it feels like LeBron James and Chris Paul are destined to play together. Both of them are the best players of this era, and they both have their own unique insights into basketball. If you are a veteran fan, you know that the two of them are probably the smartest basketball players you've ever met. Westbrook has proven to be unsuitable for matching with James last season. The Lakers need a smarter organizer for Westbrook. Although Paul is 37 years old, he averaged 32.9 minutes of the game at the Suns last season, scoring 14.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, 10.8 assists, 1.9 teams have 0.3 blocks, shooting percentage of 49.3% and three-point shooting percentage of 31.7%. In addition, Claude, who was traded, is also an elite 3D player, and this deal will make the Lakers more competitive in the 2022-23 season.
The Fenicks Suns are in a turbulent period now. The team owner is deeply involved in a racial discrimination scandal. Claude demands to leave the team. Ayton is incompatible with head coach Monty. If the team still cannot win the championship next season, these players may be reshuffled.Furthermore, Paul is already 37 years old, which makes him far from the age line of other core players of the Suns, so finding a younger guard to match the existing lineup is also a good choice. The two first-round picks from the Lakers traded are enough to improve their future situation.
