June 13th, today, Lakers forward James' podcast program "The Brain of the Field" aired the 12th episode of the second season, and James and host Nash talked about many topics.

Speaking of the challenge of players' arrangement of families to watch in the finals, James said: "That's a factor, and I hope the team can say, 'Hey, let's deal with this. You just need to tell us who is coming? We'll arrange flights for them, make sure they have rooms to check in, and we'll count the money later. But let's deal with this. So that you can focus on what you're doing.' For young players, if he's the 7th and 8th man in the rotation lineup, he's playing and is an important part of the lineup, you don't need anything that distracts him from reaching the maximum concentration to help the team win the ultimate prize.

"At the same time, you need to understand your family very much, they have to understand that. I can only speak for myself, my family has always understood the career goals I want to achieve, they never dragged on and never complained, ‘I need to go to the scene, you don’t want me to go. ’Their attitude has always been, ‘Listen, you do your job well, and when you want me to go to the scene, we will definitely be there and support you with all our strength. ’This made me much easier when I left home. Of the four finals I won, I was lucky to have won two of them at home, so it would be easier to arrange them. My two championships at the Heat were: defeating the Thunder at home G5 and winning the Spurs at home. My third championship was won at the former Oracle Arena in Oakland, which was a very difficult away game, but my family went to the scene. The final championship was won at the G5 of the Orlando Park (note: it is actually G6), and some of my family were also watching the game on the spot. So, that's cool. But you need to have a group of people around you who understand you, which can relieve the pressure you face. Because you are already under a lot of pressure when you participate in the finals. ”
