James has been fantastic this season, averaging a new recent-year high of 29.1 points per game. Unfortunately, the Lakers' lineup has fluctuated greatly this season, Westbrook has been unable to integrate, Davis has been injured again, and there is no clear comeback date. In this context James was under a lot of pressure. The All-Star Game is over, James and the Lakers can use this time to rest well, in order to impact the playoffs, will James erupt and evolve into full strength?
The Lakers only have 24 games left this season, of which 14 games will be broadcast live in the United States, and ESPN, TNT and other platforms will broadcast the Lakers' games. James is in the spotlight again, and many fans in the second half of the season will be concerned about a topic: whether the Lakers can reach the playoffs under James, after all, the Lakers are currently only in the ninth place in the West, and the winning rate is not even 50%. The team's record is not up to standard, and there is pressure to impact the playoffs, and the United States will also broadcast live. In this context, it is a kind of pressure for many stars, but it is a kind of motivation for James.
We all know that James is a big-scene player, and looking back on his career, we see that James's big-scene performances are countless. In the 2012 playoffs, James, who played for the Heat, met in a narrow way, and the Green shirts once led 3:2, and if they lost another game, they would be eliminated. If he is out for two consecutive years, James will definitely fall into the criticism of people. On the edge of the cliff, James slashed 45 points and beat his opponent on the road. That year, James and the Heat also won the championship smoothly.
The 2016 Finals were a classic, with James and the Cavaliers being defeated by the Warriors at one point, trailing 1-3. As a result, in the following game, James scored 40 points in two consecutive games to help the team equalize, and the seventh game was won on the road to win the only NBA championship in team history. In the spotlight and high-intensity games, many stars will fail, but James does not care about this. He likes people's attention and he likes pressure, which pushes him forward better. After all, James was in the spotlight before entering the NBA, and his game was already famous in high school. Countless media will chase James, and countless fans will come to the scene to watch James play the game.
The 18-year-old James may have had the mind that a lot of professional players have played for 10 years. He's at a good time in the media and on the pitch, always handling everything. Therefore, the fans love him, the media also respects him, he has always been the darling of the people, and the national live broadcast is always indispensable to James. And, when the team has a moment of crisis, James always comes forward. We all know how strong James is when he transforms into an all-out James.
Now the Lakers need to win, need to improve the winning percentage. James may have unsealed in the second half of the season and scored consecutive points. Davis can't play because of injury, and James will definitely take on more scoring tasks. Of course, the other players of the Lakers also need to stand up to help James, and it has been too much for James to play so much. Old Zhan is 37 years old. The Lakers should take a long-term view and properly preserve James's physical strength and energy. After all, winning in the playoffs is the real winner.
