LeBron James turned into a 'four-quarter guy' Goal to play 82 games, reasonable focus and selection



LeBron James (LA Lakers) is 39 years old this year. He is the leading player in the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

It is certain that it will be the last stage of the Olympics. It's the end of his career. Of course, the heyday has passed, but it still retains the appearance of 'the heyday'. That's the case at the end of the game.

He is a basketball genius. His basketball IQ is the highest ever.



He revealed one clear goal just before this season.

ESPN said on the 21st (Korea time) that LeBron James has announced his goal to play in all 82 games this season, his 22nd season.



This media outlet needed JJ Redick's protection, of course. The offense is being coordinated through Anthony Davis, who has a career high of 31.1 points'

James, on the other hand, has a career low of 27.4%.



So did James lose control of the game.

There are still too many variables to draw this conclusion. Rather, James's dominance of the game has an impact.

It's because of the fourth quarter score. The media has 30.8 points, second in the league in scoring in the fourth quarter. James is averaging 6.7 points in the fourth quarter this season, accounting for about 29% of his points.'

In other words, James is taking a strategy of relaxing and playing until the third quarter and then focusing on the fourth quarter. It is a clearly intended part.

I'm at an age where I can't put everything into it throughout the first to fourth quarters. Of course, there are weaknesses in physical strength and activity. However, he remains focused and powerful in the fourth quarter.

It is the driving force behind him to play 82 games. It's flowing as LeBron James intended. The Los Angeles Lakers are 14-10 and ranked third in the West. It's an unexpected performance.
