James: I’m in great shape, but my basketball fitness can only be restored by playing more games

Today, the Lakers defeated the Jazz 108-106 in an away game and ushered in their fourth consecutive victory. After the game, Lakers forward James was interviewed.

The reporter mentioned that James raised his hand to ask for a rest due to physical problems in the second quarter. James said: "Second quarter? The first quarter, the second quarter, the third quarter, and the fourth quarter."

When asked about his current physical condition, James said: "I said, the four-day rest period is not conducive to this. We have trained several times and held several competitions. But the only way to restore basketball physical condition is to play basketball games. My current body shape is great. But as for my conditioning - and it's not good for me to play my second game back in Utah, the altitude effect is also not good as each game goes on, I'm getting better and my conditioning is getting better, but, honestly, this week was like. In my training camp, I had no chance to train with my teammates during the training camp and preseason, so I am still trying to get back into shape."

In this game, James played 34 minutes and scored 17 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists on 8-of-18 shooting.
