On January 5, Beijing time, a video of James encouraging Wei Shao in the locker room a few days ago was exposed. In the video, Lao Zhan was emotional and gave a speech in the locker room, focusing on encouraging Wei Shao.
"What I'm trying to say is that everyone has to believe in themselves, Russell (Westbrook) threw two threes and then a key goal." James said excitedly.
The game was a showdown for the Lakers to beat the Lone Rangers in overtime. In that game, Westbrook received a pass from James in the final moments of overtime and shot a big heart three-pointer. Obviously, James means not to be discouraged even if you lose it, and not to lose confidence even if you are not in good shape, but to continue to work hard and find yourself.
This is the responsibility of the leader, and it also reflects James's trust in Westbrook. In fact, in the showdown between the Lakers and the Kings, there was also such a scene in the second quarter of the game.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Wei Shao dribbled the ball through the half, he passed the ball to the melon, and the melon returned to the old Zhan. After Old Zhan received the ball, Wei Shao made a false cover, forming a misplaced opportunity. James gave the ball to him, meaning he singled Jones.
Wei Shao looked a little hesitant and returned the ball to Old Zhan. After James received the ball, he immediately gave it to Westbrook. At this time, Wei Shao understood the meaning, pulled away the singles and used the speed to pass the opponent, killed under the basket, and scored the ball. This is James' trust in Westbrook. It is worth mentioning that this trust has also helped Wei Shao gradually enter a better state, looking forward to the recovery of thick eyebrows, the combination of the big three and then starting again, and the Lakers really returned to the right track and impacted the championship.
