Brunei James stood with his back to the wall with both hands buried in his experimental shorts, and his practice with the Lakers summer team in the league, his voice seems more confident now after he entered his second season in the American Professional League.
He had to bear the pressure and huge criticisms of playing last season with his father, the star, Liberon James, a season in which Brunei and his father have become his history by becoming the first father and son to play together in the American Professional League game.
Now, Brunei is more guaranteed about his talents and will get what he did when Lakers play the role of Golden State Woorers in the classic California on Saturday in San Francisco.
Lakers will play three games there, then head to Las Vegas in the Summer League in the American Professional League.
This is where the most expecting summer game can be done because Lakers open the procedure against Cooper Flagg, General Selection No. 1 in June draft, and Dallas Martericks on July 10.
Like every last season, James knows that many people will pay attention to that game – for him, and still, and for science.
“Last year, it was a crazy environment for me to intervene and produce it directly, like stress,” Brunei said. “Therefore, I feel this year, I will be able to go out and play freely and know what I will get out and do for me and my teammates. So, yes, I am very excited to be able to play tension.”
Dalton Knecht got some additional shots after training on Wednesday, as it seems that a stroke is impressive as happened last season when he fired 37.6 % of three points during his upward season with Lakers.
Knecht is also looking to play in Las Vegas.
“I feel that we all did not care about those who played [last summer]”It was just going out there and playing. Our fans always appear. We go there all the time, and they are largely Laker fans who sell that arena and show us a lot of love. We are just trying to go out there and try to make an offer regardless of who we play,” Kencht said.
ADOU Thiero Rising, their choice in the second round (36 years old) from Arkansas, who gained in a trade with Timberwolves, with a left knee injury and will not play this summer. Lakers said Thiru in the last stages of his return to play and is expected to be completely cleared of the training camp.
For James, one year of playing in the American Professional League caused a team as it approached this summer.
He appeared in 27 games last season, starting once, and an average of 2.3 points per game in the shooting 31.3 %, 28.1 % of the three -point range.
“James said: “Yes, it is certainly more excitement than nervousness, certainly, I am only ready to go there and play and be better than I was the last time I was playing. Just a mentality of preparing to play and prepare for anything that is thrown into my face, regardless of the role, what I should do in defense, the courage, and everything. Being a good teammate for the new summer league team, things from this. “
Besides making skills, James said that his summer plan is to be in the “elite state” and “to be annoying at the defensive end.”
“This is my main focus, and perhaps why I get a little smaller,” he said. “But I still have 215 [pounds] Ali is still. So, I just run a lot, and get a lot of air conditioning. Then stay on the head of my diet, eat in good health, and be a professional. It is only the second year, so I must close the things that I did not know before my emerging year and I would be better and outperform it. Yes, my main focus is this year, or this summer, was in the elite state. This is what I was talking about with my coach. “
Knecht played in 78 games last season, with an average of 9.1 points more than 19.2 minutes per game.
With the progress of the season, Knecht said the game was slowing down for him and which allowed him to improve.
When Lakers were eliminated from the qualifying qualifiers by Timberwolves, Knecht said he went to work immediately. In his eyes, there was no time to waste.
“Immediately after [playoff] Loss, it has started greatly immediately. “He didn’t take much time, so I was getting a gym, starting at 6 am, and I go with the players at ten o’clock, and then go back at night just to get the largest possible number of shots, just work on my game and my pieces.”
