Ritchie Paul: James is eager to compete for the championship. He hopes that every remaining season will be meaningful

In this regard, famous speaker Skip updated his program "The Skip Bayless Show" and talked about his understanding of this matter.

He said: "Now let's make it clear, I guess Richie Paul's ambiguous statement of LeBron's dissatisfaction may have implied that Doncic did not provide enough support in the final quarter of the key game. After all, the performance of both of them in the third, fourth and fifth games was awful, but in my opinion, James and Doncic cooperated well during the regular season. James seemed to enjoy the feeling of retreating to the second place, with less spotlight and less pressure. In this way, he could maintain his form better at the end of the 22nd season. Unfortunately, in my opinion, LeBron was still the one who overdrawed this time, not Doncic. Although I was sitting here, I He also often jokes about Doncic's 'double chin' and fat on his waist and abdomen. After Redick was eliminated, he said 'some people have to develop a championship figure', which is obviously Luca. "

" And LeBron James, who has the right to decide when he will play and when he will end, insists on playing 35 minutes per game in the past three regular seasons. 35 minutes, no exaggeration. Why? I guess he wants to leave a way out for himself - if he gets bad again in the playoffs, it can be used as an excuse. He has needed such an excuse every year in the past three years. Playing too hard in the regular season, he will naturally lose his strength in the playoffs. Yes, this is the third consecutive year that he has collapsed in the end of the playoffs. "
