James is the strongest leader! He boasted about Killing Rivers after the game! And accurately judge opponent tactics!

Original/Oxygen is a metro

On December 16, the Lakers killed the Lone Ranger in overtime. In this game, rookie Rivers scored a key three-pointer and a 0.9-second quasi-kill, which is the second rookie to shoot a quasi-kill after Durant in 2007. Davis was average in this game, but there were still a lot of points in the second half. Westbrook completed redemption from the last minute of the fourth quarter to the last few seconds of overtime. James played 43 minutes, shooting 9-of-19, 4-of-9 from three-point range, 24 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal.

James had a bad foot in this game, although he continued to play with his shoelaces as usual, but after all, he was old and had an old injury, so he later closed the fight and did not let go. However, this has not affected James's contribution, James's contribution comes from many aspects, first of all, of course, the data level, whether it is efficiency or scoring, it benefits the Lakers.

The second is the tactical level, after James broke out, let the Lone Ranger abandon Davis and change to James. But James is the least afraid of the bag clip, so the lone ranger is concerned about one or the other. James also accurately predicted opponent tactics, specifically involving Lone Ranger head coach Kidd. Kidd was James' favorite point guard before and had teamed up with James to win titles with the Lakers.

In an interview after the game, James said he never decided in advance how to play and would crack any holes in his opponent's defenses — james' versatility and confidence can be seen here. James said he's been scoring for the past few weeks, so the Mavericks will shrink the penalty area to prevent him from breaking through. James also knows what Kidd does relative to himself, and all he has to do is trust his teammates. Here, James praises Ellington and Rivers. He was so proud and excited about The Rivers that he killed: Very proud and excited for AR15 (Rivers' Lakers internal nickname) !

James also talked about the Big Three, which he said hasn't really run into yet, but there's already a trend in this game. As long as they still play like this, then the Lakers can become more powerful. James also trusts all of his teammates, having said before that he likes every player in the dressing room. In this game, James said they trusted any Lakers player, including Rivers, as can be seen from the final attack.

James' role with the Lakers is also reflected at the locker room level, which is his third contribution. As we all know, James is the strongest leader, recognized in the Lakers, the league and history. Lakers head coach Vogel also added, saying that James told the team after the game that everyone should be confident. Confident Rivers can score accurate killers, confident Westbrook can play well, get rid of the topic of being discussed trades or substitutes, and confident Davis can restore the dominance of the 2020 season. As for James, he's always confident, but he doesn't need to be like Jordan and Kobe Bryant and rely on crazy shots to illustrate this.
