Lakers news: James continues to evolve, the full schedule is announced, and the rookie injury updates

Jack continued to evolve

Today, Chris Johnson, a well-known NBA trainer, updated social media and posted a video of Lakers star LeBron James training for outside shooting, and wrote: "I focus on preparing for the 23rd season, shoot when receiving the ball, different catch positions, moving footwork training, cardiopulmonary function training, and always be prepared." In the video, James made a fixed-point shot and moved catch shots at various positions. He shot smoothly while shooting continuously, and even made two elegant "golden chicken independent" three-pointers. If James can perform such a shooting performance in the new season, his game with the Lakers will become more competitive.

In the first round of last season's playoffs, James performed poorly in his outside shooting, with a total of 28 shots and only hit 10 goals (35.7% shooting). When the opponent cannot be punished on the outside, the Timberwolves were able to focus more on shrinking the inside. The connection between James and his teammates was cut off, which is also one of the reasons why the Lakers were eliminated. It is obvious that it is not difficult to see from the James shooting training video posted by the trainer that James has put in a lot of effort and sweat on his shooting this summer and has achieved good results. I have to say that in my 40s, James can still put down the glory of a superstar, polish his shortcomings and improve himself in training. This positive and never-ending attitude is really worth learning from.

The complete schedule is announced

Today, the Lakers officially announced the complete season list for the 25-26 season. Several of the more important time nodes are the opening match against the Golden State Warriors on October 22, and the two most popular teams in the league meet with fans; on December 26, the Houston Rockets who faced Sohalai Durant in the Christmas game, and Jen Du again continued to write about grudges and revenge; throughout the season, the Lakers have three consecutive away trips, the longest of which are 8 consecutive away games from January 20 to February 3; on April 13, the Lakers finished the regular season after playing the Utah Jazz. It is worth mentioning that the Lakers have 34 games in the new season, and are tied for the most in the league with the Thunder, Warriors and Knicks, which shows how great its influence and attention are.

Judging from the schedule, the Lakers face a lot of difficulties in the new season. First of all, the Lakers will play 14 back-to-back throughout the season. How to maintain physical strength and sufficient health is a challenge for veterans like James, Smart, and Kleber; secondly, the Lakers have 5 consecutive away games in the new season, 6 consecutive away games and 8 consecutive away games in the new season. Once the team cannot adapt to adapt and enter the correct game state, they may face a wave of consecutive losses; finally, the tie-in number of live broadcasts in the United States not only reflects the attention of the league, but also brings huge pressure. Except for stars like Dong Zhan who are used to big scenes, other players may not be able to adapt to performing normally in the spotlight.

Rookie injury update

At this year's draft, the Lakers selected the forward Adutiero from the University of Arkansas with the 6th pick in the second round. Thiero, 21, is 2.01m tall and weighs 100kg. He plays as a forward on the court. He represents the University of Arkansas in the NCAA League last season, and averages 15.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.7 blocks per game. Tierro has a strong physical fitness and can easily flatten the frame, and has a strong presence on both ends of offense and defense. However, because Thiero suffered a serious knee injury in February this year and missed the Lakers' summer league game, Thiero's injury also touched the hearts of many fans.

Today, according to Dan Woike, a Lakers reporter from the US media "The Athletic", after this period of rest and special treatment training, Thiero's injury has improved significantly. He can already perform some simple shooting and running training on the court, and is expected to successfully participate in the training camp that the Lakers will start at the end of September. With Thiero's physical fitness and athletic ability, there is no problem playing in the NBA, but whether he can enter the regular rotation depends on whether Thiero can show stable shooting ability and ball quotient, which is also what Lakers coach Redick values the most.
