This morning, James tweeted: "#湖人国度, I apologize, I promise we'll get better!" Subsequently, Lakers player Munch retweeted the tweet.
Old Zhan is apologizing to the fans who have followed him all the way, for the first half of the Lakers' record, but also for the negative state on the court.
A 37-year-old man, standing up and apologizing to the fans, to be honest, is quite sad.
This situation is easily reminiscent of Kobe Bryant in 2013.
In the 2012-13 season, when lakers owner Buzz Sr. died, Bryant publicly stated at a press conference after the death of Sr. Bath: "I will definitely bring the team into the playoffs, which is my promise to The Old Bath."
In the next game, Kobe Almost played for more than 45 minutes, 30+ raised hands, 40+ as simple as drinking water.
In the end, Bryant fulfilled his promise to the elder Buzz and led the Lakers into the playoffs, and he broke the Achilles tendon for this. Bryant's career also ushered in a faulty decline in that year.
The old section of the past, the old Zhan of today, the same purple gold, the same sigh.
As team leaders, responsibility is deserved, and in addition, all we can do is wish old Zhan not to encounter injury problems.
Taking advantage of this, he also talked about "two hands and a stall" that many fans like to say.
On this point, I would like to explain that any player has a mental explosion, which usually occurs when the game is not smooth, or when the big score is behind.
Different players perform differently on the pitch.
When Adu and Curry's mentality explodes, it is specifically manifested as ignoring it and throwing the ball, in this case, the shooting rate of the two is often not too high, and you can clearly see the frustrated expression on their faces.
When Wei Shao's mentality exploded, it was specifically manifested as anger,
The amplitude of the action increases, the temper rises instantaneously, and it is easy to get angry with others, such as yesterday's vignette with Gordon.
When the alphabet mentality explodes, it behaves similarly to Wei Shao,
The difference is that his anger is not reflected in words, but more in confrontation.
When Harden's mentality explodes, he will enter a state of autism of "who am I, where am I, what am I going to do".
During certain rounds, you will have a "groove, what the hell is he trying to do" idea.
When James's mentality exploded, the direct performance was negative, which was specifically manifested in the sluggishness of the defensive end and the three-point surge on the offensive end.
This kind of mental explosion will be faced by any player, but it is a direct reflection of the different emotions.
Therefore, the fans' evaluation of "James is not defensive" is actually biased.
He was only in a state of screwing in a very small number of moments when his mentality exploded, and most of the time, James's defensive effort and effectiveness were above the league's average level.
To take the most straightforward example, this season James averaged 36.7 minutes per game, ranking in the top three in the league; averaging 1.6 steals per game, and the last time James averaged this number, it goes back to eight years ago, when he was only 29 years old; and averaged 1.2 blocks per game, which is his career highest.
You can say that James is old, you can also say that there are more moments when his mentality explodes,
But it is obviously unreasonable to say that such a player is completely undefended.
Finally, I would like to talk about the meeting.
During this time, some people held meetings with Wei Shao, some people held meetings with Aking, some people held meetings with Vogel, and even the boss Jenny Bass and other small shareholders were all held meetings.
This is very normal, losing, their own fans have anger, others wait to see jokes, the most direct form of expression is not a meeting?
Competitive sports have always been to admit defeat, and to stand upright when beaten.
Lao Zhan made a promise, not only a promise to the fans, but also a game with his own competitive state.
If he can win this game, he will usher in another peak, if not, it will not be. No matter what, quietly accompany him to fight for the last time. This is also the last desperate attempt of the 37-year-old man.
