Translation of the article content into English: James has been in the NBA since 03 and can be said to be the best number one pick in the NBA in the past 25 years. So far, his personal honors and influence are unparalleled. In these 7 seasons with the Cavaliers, he has led the team to the conference finals and even the finals many times, but he has never won a championship. This is indeed a very difficult thing for James. Therefore, it is reasonable for James to leave the Cavaliers. He opted out of his contract with the Cavaliers in the 10th season and became a free agent in the market. Let's take a look at some of the offers from the league's teams at that time. When James became a free agent, the league was definitely in an uproar, which is undeniable. At that time, 7 teams were extremely crazy, including the home team Cavaliers, Bulls, Heat, Nets, Clippers, New York Knicks, and Dallas Mavericks. The Cavaliers, in order to keep James, sent out their top management and owners, offering everything to meet James' conditions. Some fans even held up signs saying "Stay here, this is your future." The Mavericks went so far as to create a personal website for James, inviting fans to sign up on it, with the offer set by James himself. The Bulls, Clippers, Knicks, etc., all offered the same conditions, meeting everything James wanted. So why did he choose the Heat in the end? Let's first look at the stakes on both sides.…

The Lakers lost at home to the Cavaliers with a score of 110-122, ending their winning streak. And the Suns lost at home to the Grizzlies with a score of 112-117, suffering three consecutive defeats, and their playoff spot is precarious. After these two key games, the Western Conference has undergone significant changes again. The Suns narrowly lost to the Grizzlies at home, and three consecutive defeats fell into crisis In the first half, the Grizzlies showed strong offensive firepower. In the first quarter, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Bane worked together to lead the Grizzlies to a 36-26 victory in a single quarter, quickly establishing a double-digit lead.

On January 1st, Beijing time, the NBA 2024-25 season regular season welcomes a focus match in the league, with the Cleveland Cavaliers traveling to Los Angeles to challenge the Los Angeles Lakers back-to-back. This is the second meeting between the two teams this season. In the previous match, the Cavaliers defeated the Lakers by 24 points, showing a clear advantage. It must be said that the Cavaliers have indeed emerged as a dark horse this season, currently ranking first in the Eastern Conference and the entire league with a record of 28 wins and 4 losses. According to data released by American media B/R, if the Cavaliers maintain their current win rate of 87.5% until the end of the season, their record for the season will be 72 wins and 10 losses, which is indeed terrifying. Moreover, the Cavaliers are currently on a hot streak of 7 consecutive victories, with an undefeated record of 8 wins and 0 losses against Western Conference teams. In contrast, the Lakers' performance this season can be considered average, currently ranking seventh in the West with a record of 18 wins and 13 losses. However, recently, the Lakers' management completed a major 5-for-2 trade with the Nets at lightning speed, acquiring 3D forward Finney-Smith, which was indeed unexpected. In addition, James also officially celebrated his 40th birthday. This superstar, who has been playing in the NBA for 22 years, is averaging 23.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 9 assists this season, with a shooting percentage of 49.6%, which is indeed amazing. After training yesterday, James also…

An NBA regular-season match-up between the Lakers and the Cavaliers was a focal point of attention. The Lakers have been in good form recently, bolstered by the addition of new recruits Smith and Milton, who were both available to play. Additionally, this game marked LeBron James' first appearance at the age of 40, so the team was keen on securing a victory to celebrate his birthday. The Cavaliers, currently the top team in the league, have an undefeated record against Western Conference teams, with eight wins and no losses, giving them a slight advantage. However, if they were to become complacent or underestimate their opponents, it could prove costly. The Lakers' starting lineup featured Reeves, Christie, Hachimura, James, and Davis, while the Cavaliers started Garland, Mitchell, Wade, Mobley, and Allen. Both teams started off with good shooting, particularly the Cavaliers, who continued their league-leading offensive prowess with a balanced attack that stifled the Lakers and silenced the home crowd. After a rest, James returned with plenty of energy, scoring both inside and outside, showing no signs of his age as he teamed up with Davis to score the team's first 12 points. Reeves made a mistake, and Hachimura missed two layups, leading to jokes about his teammates being CBA level. The Cavaliers capitalized on the Lakers' mistakes, converting on fast breaks to lead 21-12. After a timeout, the Cavaliers maintained control of the game's tempo, with the Lakers struggling on offense, defense, and turnovers, resulting in a 15-point deficit. However, the Lakers did not collapse; when the Cavaliers' bench struggled…

The Lakers recently brought in Finney-Smith and Milton, and today the new recruits were finally able to play, with promising results that will improve over time. However, their opponents were formidable, as the Cavaliers, ranked first in the league, were expected to win. Despite playing at home, the Lakers faced a fierce Cavaliers team, leaving LeBron James to acknowledge that time is fair to everyone. The Cavaliers defeated the Lakers 122-110 on the road, securing an eighth consecutive victory. There's not much to say about this game; the Cavaliers' number one ranking in the league is well-deserved, as they have earned it through their performance. Mitchell and Garland in the backcourt, Wade on the wing, and Mobley and Allen in the frontcourt. The bench also boasts strong players like Strus, Nene, and LeVert. The Cavaliers' rise and rebuilding path over the years has been nothing short of miraculous; any misstep could have led to disaster. But the key is that the Cavaliers made the right moves every step of the way. First, in the trade between the Rockets and the Nets for Harden, the Cavaliers used a first-round pick to intercept Allen, a valuable center, and then acquired LeVert. Following this, the Cavaliers began to tank, miraculously snatching Mobley from the Rockets. The Rockets' scouting department hoped to select Jalen Green with the second overall pick in 2021, while the data analysis department believed Mobley was the ideal choice, given the Rockets' tradition of building around a center. Ultimately, the Rockets' owner's son decided to take Green with the second…

After the games, changes occurred in the Western Conference standings. The Spurs hosted the Clippers at home.

On January 1st, Beijing time, after the Lakers' victory over the Cavaliers, James' actions after the game basically cut off any hope of him returning to the Cavaliers for a fourth time, ending his third homecoming trip prematurely and depriving the Cavaliers players of the opportunity to embrace him. The Lakers suffered a crushing defeat at home to the Cavaliers, failing to win even against the league's top team in back-to-back games. This game was actually quite an opportunity for them. They were trailing earlier and had just finished a physically demanding match against the Warriors, yet they still managed to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers. There's not much that can be done about it. The Lakers had been resting and recuperating for so long on their own, while their opponents were at a physical disadvantage. What more could they ask for? In the final moments of this game, James made a move that showed his extreme dissatisfaction with the loss, which also meant that he had no emotional ties with the Cavaliers, as he didn't even bother to greet or acknowledge anyone from the Cavaliers team and immediately left without looking back. Even more surprisingly, James did something unexpected during the game. He didn't wait until the end of the game to leave; instead, he walked to the sidelines and talked to his teammates for a few seconds before leaving. It can be seen that with 10.4 seconds remaining, James turned to the bench, then spoke to his son Bronny for a moment, lifting his shirt and heading towards…

On January 1st, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued with the Lakers facing the Cavaliers at home. LeBron James started the game, becoming the first player in NBA history to play from his teenage years (19 years old and below) to the age of 40. James' first game after turning 40 was against his former team, the Cavaliers, which shows that the person who arranged the schedule understands the hot topics. In the first half of the first quarter, the Lakers were helpless on defense against the Cavaliers' three-point shooting. The Cavaliers continuously hit shots or drew fouls from beyond the arc, leading by 15 points at 29-14 in less than half a quarter. However, the Cavaliers' shooting percentage then dropped, and the Lakers, led by Reeves and Davis, went on a 16-5 run to close the gap. The first quarter ended with the Lakers trailing 30-34 by 4 points. At the start of the second quarter, the Lakers missed several good opportunities, but both teams exchanged scores. Midway through the quarter, Reeves scored consecutively to help the Lakers go on an 8-0 run and take the lead. However, Garland returned and led a 9-0 run to help the Cavaliers regain a 7-point lead.

They relied on Reeves' last-second mid-range shot to end the half trailing 53-58 by 5 points. In the third quarter, Mobley's three-pointer helped the Cavaliers lead by 8 points. But then, the Cavaliers' shooting percentage dropped, and their…
