James: I will shoot after I get the ball because I need to be ready to play at any time when playing around Doncic

Today, Lakers forward James attended the media day of the new season and was interviewed by Spectrum SportsNet.

Speaking of my 3-pointer who was taking the ball and shooting during the offseason, James said: "Yes, I think that's part of the player's evolution. The best thing about a basketball player is to understand how to continuously improve his game and have a growth mindset: If your usage rate drops. Or how will you play on the court when you don't need that many opportunities to hold the ball? For me, I don't need to take the ball like I used to, and you have one of the best point guards in history like Luca (Doncic). You have a ball handler like AR (Reeves), and Smart can do it. We have so many players who can do it.

"So how can I still play the effect and influence on the offense? Do what I need to do, that is, shoot whenever I catch the ball, and shoot whenever I am ready to catch the ball. When you play with Luca, you have to be ready to take action at all times and opportunities will appear in every place on the court. So I made all my competitions through adjustments and polished them again, and at the same time I continued to strengthen what I was good at. ”
