James's physical talent since his debut has made many people think that this buddy can't go far. But when he was 36 years old, James beat Curry, George, Dansis and others to occupy the first MVP ranking. He is still the omnipotent James.
Does James really play by his body? How does James maintain high efficiency? The three transformations of James' career became the key. James's first transformation was after his rookie season. In the rookie season, James constantly attacked the basket with his super physical talent, but because of the single attack mode, James did not bring much change.
In the second season of his career, James began to add something for his Arsenal. He is no longer obsessed with physical talent, and he doesn't want to be a hero who beat 5 with 1. James began to try more pick-and-roll cooperation and free cutting. This change made James more difficult to defend. The most direct influence is that James began to become elusive. He led the Cavaliers to the finals for the first time.
Old Zhan's second transformation was in the finals of 20 1 1 after being taught by a lone ranger. James's performance is very poor, especially his singles ability and dependence on the ball, especially the ball between him and Wade. In this case, James found Olajuwon, and he mastered more ways of inside attack. He is no longer James who can't finish back-to-back singles efficiently in the face of barea. Wade's decentralization gave James more possession of the ball, and James also exercised more in passing and controlling the ball, which also made James's skills more comprehensive and won him two championships.
Old Zhan's third transformation began with the Lakers. With the growth of age, James can still feel like James in the playoffs, but it is an indisputable fact that CDs are cooled and elongated because of excessive use. In this case, James began to polish his three-pointers, increasing the number of three-pointer shots. Since last season, three-pointers have become James' conventional weapon. This season, James averaged more than six 3-pointers per game and shot a career-high 40%.
Why can James, 36, remain efficient? Self-discipline keeps his body at its peak, and the technical shortcomings make it difficult for him to defend. The experience of the game makes it easy for him to control the game. It was really easy for James to win 20+. Perhaps, as many fans said, James is becoming more and more important now. Perhaps the Lakers' contract renewal is not enough to retire James. Maybe the Lakers should prepare for the next contract extension.
