On January 12, Beijing time, before departing for Sacramento, the Lakers arranged a team training session to prepare for tomorrow's away game against the Kings. Wei Shao missed the training due to cold symptoms, but his test result was negative, which did not affect his going to the airport to meet the team.
The Lakers officially posted the latest training photos, and James's expression was domineering. Official caption: King Energy. The 37-year-old does always feel full of energy. This is his 18th season of averaging 25+ points per game, a statistic that is also far ahead in history. In second place is Durant (13 seasons), followed by Kobe, Jordan and Malone.
Wei Shao was absent from training due to illness, and Vogel sighed: "Fortunately, he is negative. "At the moment, Davis has not returned and the team certainly does not want to see another star who cannot play. Vogel said Westbrook's biggest adjustment this season is james' long time on the ball. "Playing with James is different from everyone else," Vogel said. He believes westbrook has made some progress in integration over the past few weeks as James play as a center.
Speaking of Davis, Vogel said the interior will have plenty of time to be in the fifth spot when he returns. James also won't go out of the center altogether. The future direction is for Davis to play the starting center, and James to play the role of a substitute center. It seems that under Vogel's line of thinking, Howard and Jordan Jr. have basically no chance to play.
Vogel also revealed that Nunn had a personal training session today, but there is no official comeback timeline yet. Nunn has never played since joining the Lakers and has been recuperating from injuries. Another piece of good news is that assistant coaches Fitzdale and Penpersie have been released from quarantine, and the Lakers' coaching staff is more neat.
