Live Bar, January 7-NBA regular season, Lakers 130-114 Eagles. After the game, James talked about why his role is closer to scoring this season when interviewed by reporters.
James explained: “It depends entirely on the composition of the team. It depends on who is on the court to find out what you can do. Due to the current composition of our team, especially the absence of heavy eyebrows, Lonnie Walker and rives for several weeks, I must score a little more points. But at the same time, I have to make sure that other people are involved and everyone keeps attacking. This is the composition of the lineup and its current development (decided).”
“In my career, this (scoring) is not my habit, and I have never seen such a duty. Therefore, I just let nature take its course and fortunately it works well. I don’t want to cheer just for cheering, it’s never my game style. I always want to maintain efficiency, reasonable shot, perfect shot, keep pace, always keep the threat of attack, and then start like this.” James continued.
In this game, James played for 33 minutes and scored 25 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists in 19 shots and 10 shots, plus or minus +12. So far this season, James has averaged 28.9 points (9th of the league) 6.7 assists (16th of the league).
