The Lakers beat the Pistons on Feb. 14, and new signing Dinwiddie made his debut and performed well. Although Garnett said that the Lakers were wasting James' last peak, he believed that the lineup formed by the Lakers management could not win the championship, and James did want to continue to win the championship, but James would not put too much pressure on his teammates, so at this stage when the Lakers' record is still quite delicate, he does not want to disclose whether the Lakers can compete for the championship.
In his post-game interview, James first announced that he would miss back-to-back games. Not only does James not put too much pressure on his teammates, but motivates them, so James often praises his teammates. James has praised from the perspective of the whole team, for example, he said that in this game, the Lakers reduced turnovers, shared the ball on the offensive end, everyone was in good shape, and the defense was united.
James also praised his teammates alone. Quadringwiddie: Dinwiddie is still fitting into the system, but his defense, passing, and off-ball are too good for the Lakers. James hasn't forgotten about his injured teammates either, saying Vanderbilt, Reddish and Vincent are still important components of the Lakers' playbook.
James was asked what the Lakers' plans are for the next schedule, and he said that he has no specific plans, he just wants to play well. Because everything goes naturally, as long as you play well, you can control the game that you can control. The NBA is competitive and there are a lot of opponents, and he won't be in the Lakers position here. James said that while it's important to set goals, they're not there yet. After all, if James wants to set a goal, it must be to win the championship.
