If you saw LeBron James play for the first time the day before yesterday once morest the Kings, we wish you a great discovery of what we call the Internet, but you’re probably thinking that this rusty old guy has nothing to do here. The joys of the Lakers circus of the pre-season, but this night once morest the Suns the King really launched his season, as if someone still doubted his level because of his canonical age.
The stats of this preview of the future first round of the 2023 Playoffs are right here
It’s been official since… always, there’s always something going on when the Lakers are on an NBA one-night schedule. For this second pre-season match, the Darvin Ham team had decided to rest a weakened Anthony Davis and we will not comment on this info, and three changes were noted in the angelino starting lineup. Pat Beverley in place of Kendrick Nunn, just to test the Beverley / Westbrook death pair a little more, Wenyen Gabriel in place of Damian Jones in the role of the guy who is useless, and Austin Reaves in place of Anthony Davis, because this ultimate crack can carry out any mission on Earth, we will come back to it . Suns side? Back from a slap in the face of an obscure Australian team and everyone on deck, except of course a Jae Crowder on the start.
Suns versus Lakers is the assurance of offensive fireworks, talent and recent rivalry helping, and the first quarter will be a blessing for any human being who is not a defense minister. Devin Booker and Chris Paul pound, but what interests us here is not the presence in purple of Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, sorry huh, but rather the first quarter of LeBron James, 37, all his teeth but not all his hair, an LBJ who had to correct the situation following a rare and unimportant 0/7 in his first game.
It won’t take long for the King to reclaim his crown.
Shoots of the parking lot or even of the logo (that of Vegas is very big, make no mistake regarding it), trailers at the speed and power of the TGV that we know, and following ten minutes LeBron has already scored around 1000 points.
The ???? goes coast-to-coast.

At his side Russell Westbrook slams a big air-ball at the throw but is aggressive, Pat Beverley makes us hit bars chest-bumping his new best friend every two actions but one of the heroes of the night with the face of a High School Musical actor and named Austin Reaves. The Golden Gerard of these Lakers 2022-23 recovers rebounds between the clouds and stuffs the friends with vintage caviar and will finish the game with 6 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists (7 in the first quarter alongside the bosses), 3 steals and 2 counters in 36 minutes, AR benefiting just like a very good Kendrick Nunn and a combative Gabriel from big minutes to warm up for the recovery. LeBron James? As usual he will only play the first half for a total of 23 points at 8/11, with disconcerting ease hidden between the non-existent defense and, perhaps a little, a talent that we do not present. over for nineteen years now.
A good big Lakers – Suns from behind the bundles, during which Chris Paul will have talked a lot, weird, during which Landry Shamet and Jock Landale teased the strength of the Phoenix bench (not at all), and during which we sweated with happiness by seeing Torrey Craig to pose screens in our screen. That’s regarding all, because we too have to gain strength, and the Lakers too because they are playing once more tonight once morest the Wolves. Ah yes, Suns win, raise your hand if you don’t care.
