James: I like excellent ATO tactics. If the coach allows the coach, you must trust the commander on the field.

June 19th, today, Lakers forward James' podcast program "The Brain of the Field" aired the 13th episode of the second season, and James and host Nash talked about many topics. The topic of this issue is for fans' Q&A.

Fans: "How important is it to design good tactics to let the stars play freely on the court?"

James: "I like excellent ATO tactics (post-suspension tactics). Of course, you design the opening tactics and the tactics that start the second quarter. I think during the game, when the pause happens, a good ATO catches the opponent's team off guard. I think it's cool and flexible. I always appreciate the coach. If the coach draws a set of tactics and we execute it on the court, you will praise it, it's really good, it's really cool!

"But to answer the second part of the question, you have to have that kind of player, he will be a continuation of the coach on the court, he knows the intention you want to convey, knows the way you want to play, and he also knows how to make good use of the technical characteristics of each player. If you have a player who can not only get yourself into the state, but also arrange and arrange teammates on the court according to tactical arrangements, then you let him go and trust him and let him play freely. You know he will help the team and it will also benefit the individual performance of the players on the court. He will make sure they are not on the court doing things that are not good for their game, or things that are not suitable for their technical characteristics. This is to know people and make good use of them. If you have that kind of player, that's great. So I think this question depends on your staff composition. But as I said, having a coach who designed a great ATO tactic after the timeout caught the opponent team off guard, I thought that was cool. ”
