Recently, there was a picture of James that was very popular: Wei Shao sat next to James, looking at James with a confused face. James, on the other hand, took a piece of paper and looked down intently. Not the fans say that James is looking at the data in the game, and even the famous parallel goods leader Kwame Brown has publicly questioned James!
Kwame Brown said: "This tells us why the Lakers lost... In high school, all the high school coaches in the world can attest that they don't let players look at the data sheet on the bench, especially when losing, what can the data sheet teach you? You also have to play the rest of the game, not collect the rest of the data. So LeBron looking at the datasheet is simply horrible, and no player should follow suit... Bryant would never do that. ”
Now it seems that James' looking at the data in the game is a foregone conclusion. But is James really just looking at the data in the game just to understand his own data? In the game between the Lakers and the Heat, there is a detail that can indicate that James's data is watched, but it may not be his personal data.
In the final moments of the game, Lakers player Bradley caused an offensive foul on Adebayor. At this point, the camera is given to James, who makes a "6 fouls" gesture and then points his thumb down to signal that Adebayor has been sent off. From this detail, we can know that James knows the situation on the court very well. Obviously, James is paying attention to the data on the court, and "Fat Ding Basketball" feels that there is nothing wrong with it. James's concern may be the number of fouls these opponents, the shooting rate of this game and so on, which is conducive to his judgment on how to play on the court.
Opponents who have a low shooting rate today, bad feel, and can be properly put down when defending. Opponents who are not in good shape today and have more mistakes can force him to hold the ball as much as possible. Whoever has foul trouble can target him for a dozen. Or look at your teammates who feel good and give him more passes...
So looking at the data in the game is actually a good thing. What kind of data is on paper everyone does not know, and it is inappropriate to subjectively think that James cares about personal data. James is not the kind of player who brushes up on data, and just by looking at the number of times James has a quasi-triple-double, you know that he doesn't care about data at all. James himself said publicly in an interview: "I've never deliberately chased a record... It's like looking at a table and saying, 'Break this record, break that record,' I've never thought of it that way. Every time I break a record, I'm just as surprised as my family. Just like the first two days I completed the record of 30+10+9, I didn't even know, after the game my mother shared it with me I didn't know. ”
Stars like James, personal data, personal honors, team honors are all soft, do you think he will care about a 2 points, a rebound or an assist?
