On May 8th, 20 17, Beijing time, the Celtics defeated the Wizards by tiebreak, and the team reached the Eastern Conference finals after four years, facing the Cleveland Cavaliers who had been resting for many days. Judging from the current lineup configuration of the two teams, it is quite difficult for the Celtics to beat the Cavaliers in the series. This time, James has a number of playoff data that will break the record, three of which will surpass Jordan and become the first person in NBA history.
Beyond Jordan to become the scoring king in the playoffs: At present, James scored 5847 points in the playoffs, second only to Jordan in history, and 140 points away from the god of basketball. This year's playoffs, James was in full swing, averaging 34.4 points per game, the second highest in his career. If James plays like this, I'm afraid he will surpass Jordan in G4 and become the first person in NBA history.
More free throws than Jordan in the playoffs: when James started running to the basket with the ball, the only thing that could stop him from scoring was a foul! Throughout his career, James scored 1422 free throws in the playoffs, ranking second in history. Currently, it is 465,438+0 behind the first Jordan. For him who averaged free throws 1 1.5, Dong will definitely surpass him without any suspense.
In addition to scoring and free throws, in the Eastern Conference finals, James' total steals will surpass Jordan's (James 37 1, Jordan 376), ranking second in history, second only to Pippen's 395; In the three-point hit list, James also ranked fourth in history with 309 three-points, and Dong will definitely have the opportunity to tie with Ginobili and Ginobili for second place in history.
