No heart hurts by the pursuit of dreams, and the whole world will help you when you truly desire success.
preface:
When a team has to rely on a 37-year-old veteran to cut 50+ to win, the situation of this team can be imagined. Today's Lakers Palace has collapsed, and the old emperor sitting in the center of the palace is now a warrior. No NBA player is still in such a situation at the age of 37 in his 19th season, whether it is the court environment or the public opinion environment, James is unique in the entire history of the NBA, but even though the old emperor is exhausted, he is still defending his throne.
The worst public opinion environment
This is James's 19th season in the NBA, as a veteran, it is reasonable to say that fans will be more tolerant of his requirements, but the public opinion environment encountered by James is still the most demanding in the entire NBA. Every game, every round there are countless pairs of eyes staring at him, fans also ask a 37-year-old veteran not to make mistakes in any round of the game, the team loses is James's fault, the team wins James data is not good, fans say he does not deserve this contract, the team wins James data is not good, fans say he hurt the team, even if Durant, Curry, the stars who were playing in the year have not experienced such a bad public opinion environment, but James is experiencing.
But looking at the entire history of the NBA, at the age of 37, you can still average 29.7 points per game, the entire NBA is James, you may not know what the concept of points per game is, the league's first scorer Abdul-Abdul-Abdul-Jabbar averaged only 14.6 points per game in his 19th season, but this is indeed the second performance in NBA history, James is more than double him. Kobe Bryant, who was a contemporary with James, now only averaged 17 points per game, shooting only 36% of the shooting rate, and at that time, no matter how Kobe Bryant went, the fans would give him a warm cheer, and the 37-year-old James was booed by the home fans because of his poor performance. Some people say that James has a maximum salary contract, and it is not right to be scolded for not performing well, and Kobe Bryant was the same as the top salary, why is the treatment very different?
In his 19th season, James played one of the best offensive performances of his career, as if he was old, his defensive pace was slowing down, he couldn't keep an eye on the opponent's arrows, but he always inadvertently told the fans with excellent performance, I am still young, I am not old. Fans also asked James to attack and defend like in 2013, as soon as one aspect drops the chain, James will immediately be denigrated by the fans, it seems that all the previous achievements are worthless, and the MVP obtained before will be confiscated. Looking at the history of the NBA, how many people can beat the age of 37? There are a few people who can stick to their 19th season, the fans are really spoiled by James, after getting used to his efficient play, the fans can not accept James's inefficient play, even if they make a mistake.
The old emperor carried the weight forward
Today's Lakers can be said to be the worst Lakers team since James joined the Lakers for 4 years, although the first year to the Lakers did not enter the playoffs, but the Lakers are gathered a large number of young players, at least the Lakers have a future to look forward to, but this year's Lakers are old and weak, the space for reinforcement is locked by Wei Shao, the Lakers failed this season and there is no room for reinforcement next season, so that people can not see a little hope. The 28-year-old Davis legs are older than James, the time to recuperate is longer than James, the guard line is short, the 37-year-old James instead has to top the center position, in 2015 James because of 4 years of big forward career caused back injuries, but now the Lakers need him to play the inside, he is still the first time to accept this burden.
The purpose of the Lakers' trade to Westbrook is to reduce the burden on James, but James's playing time is still in the top three in the league, and Westbrook is very good, he plays very hard, but his performance is really bad, and there is not even a little place to look forward to. Originally to reduce the burden on LeBron, James had to carry the weight forward. When he scored 50 points to win the Eastern Conference Wizards, Westbrook's performance was really disappointing, only 5 points, even if he scored 10 more Points James would not be able to fight until 50 points. The last time James got 50+ twice in a single season was back in 2009, and 12 years later, the 37-year-old James did not grow old, but caught up with his younger self, which is really thanks to Wei Shao's help.
In the entire history of the NBA, at the age of 37, there are still players who require offensive and defensive integration, and I am afraid that James is the only one. Even if he carries the weight forward, James is still fighting, he does not want to lose and he wants to continue to win. It is this desire for greatness that has led James to play one of the best performances of his career on the offensive end of the season, "No heart will be hurt by the pursuit of dreams, and when you really want to succeed, the whole time will help you." The rejuvenated LeBron is dragging the lakers that are about to collapse, maybe he really can't win the championship again, but his performance fans are in the eyes, maybe after James fans will understand how great it is to average 29.7 points per game at the age of 37, don't wait until he retires before you say you missed the whole youth, please enjoy the last performance of this great star.
epilogue
Today's LeBron doesn't care what the media or the fans say, he just does what he likes to do and plays the way he plays. Maybe the championship is not realistic, but the miracle of 411 is within reach, when James, who is not a super scorer, ascends to the throne of the historical scoring king, we know that he is so great that there will be no next LeBron, 37-year-old He has come to the end of his career, when the little emperor becomes old Zhan, it is also our youth that goes far!
