On November 27, the NBA regular season continues. So far, Lakers star James has returned for three games, and he has helped the Lakers win all three games. At the same time, his return has brought a very obvious improvement to the Lakers' offensive end.

In the three games back, James averaged 32 minutes per game, scoring 17.7 points, 5 rebounds, 8.7 assists, 1 steal, and 0.3 blocks. He shot 52.5% from the field, 33.3% from the three-point range, and 52.5% from the free throw line. It is worth mentioning that in these three games, James and the Lakers have maintained a complete victory.

According to statistics, since James' comeback, the Lakers' average points per game have increased from 116.3 points to 127.6 points, an average improvement of 11.3 points per game.

At the same time, NBA reporter Jason Timpf talked about the offensive changes of the Lakers after James returned: "A Lakers trend in a small sample: the Lakers' transition offense performance improved significantly after James returned. Before his return, the Lakers were almost in the bottom five in the league in any statistics of transition offense. In the three games after James joined, the Lakers averaged 28 points per game through transition offense, which is close to the top five in the league. This undoubtedly brings a much-needed boost to the team."

When talking about his physical condition, James said bluntly: "I feel better and better now, and I feel better and better. I said that my physical condition will get better and better with every game, and the game has once again impressed me. Proving this, I started to feel better and better."

In addition, after scoring 25 points in yesterday's victory over the Clippers, James is still 474 points away from reaching the 51,000-point career mark (regular season + playoffs).
