Xu Jingyu: Tactically, James is now the Lakers’ fourth player, and Ayton’s status may be slightly higher than him.

November 24th Today’s basketball commentator Xu Jingyu talked about James in the program "If You Have the Ball".

Talking about who James is on the Lakers in terms of tactics, Xu Jingyu said: "James is at this age, after all, he is 41 years old. He has no personal pursuit of his ranking in the team. He does not take the initiative to control or ask for it. I feel that this is exactly what makes James great. Because with his current status Given his age and condition, if he still has to do everything, become the first or even second scoring point in the team, and become the absolute core of the ball, it will not only be faceless, but even a bit embarrassing.

"What we see now is the huge sense of tolerance in James's heart, and he is willing to sacrifice personal data for the sake of the team. At the beginning of this season, James did experience a steep decline in shots and data, but this was a choice James made on his own initiative.

"In terms of tactical status, calmly speaking, James is now the fourth in the team. The first two, Luka and Reeves, are obviously the real core brains of this team. They dominate the ball more and can create a lot of fouls and free throws in every game. As for Ayton, with him or without him, the Lakers are completely different. For both teams, his significance to the Lakers on both ends of the offense and defense, judging from the overall situation, may be slightly higher than LeBron James

"But I think that at James' age, he takes the initiative to delegate power and sacrifice, which is exactly worthy of respect, and I think there is no need to avoid it. "
