It’s about being ready for the next challenge – LeBron James after Game 3 win against Golden State Warriors

 

Los Angeles Lakers bounced back in style in Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinals against Golden State Warriors on Saturday night. The Lakers bested the Dubs by 127-97 but their talisman LeBron James admitted that the job is not done yet.

Akron Hammer wants to stay in the moment and keep up the good show in the ongoing series against Steph Curry’s men. In fact, the Lakers had suffered a 127-100 thrashing against GSW on Thursday night but they were at their absolute best to give a fitting reply in Game 3.

James added 21 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists and played a key role in his team’s convincing win against GSW. The veteran advised the new generation to stay away from social media as there are always different opinions, which can change in a jiffy depending on the performances.

“For the young guys that haven’t been a part of the postseason or haven’t had much experience in the postseason, just stay off the TV and stay off social media,” James said.

“You win a game, everybody is the greatest player in the world; you lose a game, they’re throwing dirt on you. It’s literally that simple. It’s all about training your mind for the next challenge. And, ‘What’s the next challenge? This game is over with, we played well. OK, cool. But we got another on Monday.'”

Meanwhile, the Lakers’ other big man Anthony Davis is not even on social media and said he hasn’t heard about his critics.

“I’m not on social media,” Davis said. “My teammates are not talking about it, my circle, my inner circle is not talking about it, so I have not [heard about it]. It’s crazy.”

In fact, Davis was not at his best for the Lakers in Game 2 of the series after having putting up a good show in the opening game against GSW.

“The same shots I had in Game1, I had in Game 2. I made Game 1, I missed Game 2,” he said. “The same shots I had in Game 2, had in Game 3. And I missed in Game 2 and I made in Game 3. So, I look at it as I just missed shots. I didn’t do anything differently.

“I know, especially at this time of the year, I put it all on the floor and that’s all I can do.”

The fourth game of the series between these two teams will be played on Monday night.
