May 9th, today, the podcast "Brain of the Field" founded by Lakers forward James aired the fifth season of the second episode. James video-linked with the host Nash and talked about many topics.

Speaking of the Lakers' defense against Edwards in the first round, James said: "We try to change the defensive strategy as much as possible because you can't let great players face the same defense all the time. Even if you try to double-team him, he has the ability to get rid of double-teams, break through double-teams, and show creativity. And he is still very strong, not the kind of player who can easily limit it by double-teaming and tough confrontation. He has accumulated experience over time, is strong, has a low center of gravity, has excellent ball control, and has very accurate shooting. In addition, he trusts his teammates and allows them to perform better. Listen, we must praise the Timberwolves, they are really an excellent team."

(Note: Nash revealed that this episode was recorded before the Warriors vs. Rockets' Title Seven)
