James: Both physically and mentally exhausted after the G4 game, because he lost the life-and-death battle rather than the full second half

May 10th, today, the podcast "The Brain of the Field" founded by Lakers forward James aired the fifth episode of the second season. James video-linked with the host Nash and talked about many topics.

Speaking of outside criticism of Redick for not substitution in the second half of G4, James said: "No one of us has questioned the decision of JJ and the coaching staff. Of course, players like Vincent and Vanderbilt who have brought us many outstanding performances will definitely feel that way, because they are competitors, and we all feel that we can make some opportunities on the court. This is not a decision based on the players' inability to complete the task, it is a decision based on the feeling and situation of the game. Regarding this decision, no one looked at JJ and the coaching staff. Damn, it was our fault that we didn't hold on."

When asked about his feelings in the second half and after the game, James Said: "I was very dedicated at that time, and I didn't feel very tired, and I didn't take the initiative to ask for substitution. If the coach substitution, I would accept it. We had the opportunity to tie the score 2-2 away. The opponent was a strong team. The coach decided to take a gamble, and we agreed to bet this game, but we didn't end up playing enough effective rounds. After the game, I felt exhausted and my mind was full of 'fuck hell', but this was purely because it was a life-and-death battle for the playoffs, not because I played the second half. I was so tired that I was exhausted because I devoted myself to the game in 48 minutes. It was definitely not that I played 24 minutes in the second half, but that we had the opportunity but couldn't grasp it."
