LeBron James (38) of the Los Angeles Lakers had a historic moment.
On the afternoon of the 8th (Korean time), Lebron broke the NBA record for the most points scored in a home game against the Oklahoma City Thunder held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California, USA.
Lebron scored a career-high 38,388 points with a fade away shot with 10.9 seconds left at the end of the third quarter. With that score, he broke the previous record (38,387 points) held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. It was the first record in 39 years since Abdul-Jabbar broke Wilt Chamberlain’s record in 1984.
LeBron needed 36 points to break that record. In response, LeBron appeared with the hair band he had worn in his heyday, revealing his spleen determination.
LeBron fired his will to break his record by launching an active offensive from the beginning of the game. However, with 5 minutes left in the first quarter, Lebron faced a crisis when he was hit in the face by an opponent Josh Giddy’s elbow while trying to break through. Fortunately, LeBron is back after a timeout break.
LeBron, who finished with 8 points in the first quarter, succeeded in 3 out of 4 shooting attempts in the 2nd quarter alone, added 5 free throws, and scored 12 points, starting to pick up the pace in earnest.
He took a step closer to the record by making consecutive three-pointers to the rim in the third quarter as well. He made a 3-point shot with 7 minutes and 56 seconds remaining, leaving only 8 points to break the record. 슬롯사이트
After returning to the bench and taking a breath, LeBron returned to the court with 2 minutes and 14 seconds left. And as he tucked in the closing midrange jumper, he scored just two points.
Then, he succeeded in scoring in the last attack he attempted before the end of the third quarter, and finally had the honor of breaking it while Abdul-Jabbar, the previous record holder, was watching.
The Lakers team and the NBA Secretariat took time to commemorate LeBron shortly after breaking his record. And he rejoiced with his family.
