19 in 0, James's words after the game were distressing, he didn't believe that he was old

James had a terrible individual performance in back-to-back games against the Timberwolves today. He scored just 10 points on 4-of-16 shooting and didn't score anything from beyond the three-point line. 0-of-4 three-pointers in the game. You must know that this is James's 19 consecutive three-pointers missed, and in the last four games, James has shot 0 of 19 from beyond the three-point line. And his three-point shooting percentage has dropped from 44 percent to 34 percent. That's a 10 percentage point drop.

I believe anyone can see that the main reason for James' current decline is that his physical strength cannot ensure that he can play an efficient offense on the court. When a player's stamina drops, his movements will be distorted. For example, today James did not completely squeeze Reid out of the confrontation in the process of breaking through, but directly chose to throw a layup, and was finally directly capped by Reed. This is the result of physical exhaustion. If James has the physical strength of a 30-year-old, maybe Reed was directly knocked away by James, and James could easily complete a layup without using throwing techniques.

Including when a player is physically exhausted on the court, his shooting consistency will also seriously decline. The reason why James has been shooting so badly from three-point shooting during this period is, in the final analysis, limited by physical strength. James has not chosen to rest, and the NBA schedule is very dense, often two days and one game, and even back-to-back games. As a result, James simply couldn't recover his physical strength in a short period of time, and he played almost every game in a physically challenged situation. After all, he is already 40 years old and is no longer a young man in his early 20s. Those young people don't feel tired in the slightest.

And after today's game, James also talked about his poor performance, when the reporter asked him how to change, James's words were extremely distressing. James' answer is to train, train more.

But many fans know very well that training will not help James to be more effective. James' current inability to shoot is not because he doesn't train hard enough or because he doesn't have enough time to practice, but because his physical strength can't support him to hit those shots. James has always been a training maniac, and if he didn't train enough, we probably wouldn't believe it. A short period of training is unlikely to improve his shooting accuracy. So James said these words more as a sign of his disobedience. Or that he himself never believed in the fact that he was old, and the older a person is, the stronger he will become.
