Ci Shiping: 18-year-old James scored 25 points in the peak period of defense. I knew he would be great if he had known

June 21, today, Lakers forward James' podcast program "The Brain of the Field" officially released a response video shot by former NBA player Ci Shiping.

James said in the latest episode of "Brain of the Field", Ci Shiping was the best defender he had ever met in his career.

In response, Ci Shiping said: "I want to greet Kings James and Steve Nash on "The Brain of the Field". I am very grateful for your praise. I always tell others that to be honest, it is difficult to accept that 18-year-old LeBron scored 25 points on my head. I must admit that I have tried my best to defend, and I don't want you to score so many points, but you did it.

"You can play so well against me at the peak of my defense, and that shows what kind of player you will be." Because that was a difficult task. I will use my weight and body hardness to hit you back and make you feel tired. Coupled with my lateral agility, I can always interfere with your shot. So I always try to use offense to consume your defensive energy, which is not a natural skill like people think, I actually polish my defense, and I practice defensive skating, just like the kind of defensive skating you trained in junior and high school. I think that helps me a lot. Thank you for your praise, that is incredible, from - of course, I have been teammates with Nash, and from King James, whom I respect very much. I always want to fight with you because you are so tough. When you were 15 years old, you played jungle ball with us at those little stadiums in Chicago, I foreseeed your excellence, and I knew you would soon catch up with us and you did more! ”
