Today, the Los Angeles Lakers continue their NBA regular season journey against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers have a special meaning for James because this team is James' hometown team and his first team to play in the NBA. In 2016, James, who returned to the Cavaliers, also won the first NBA championship in team history, which is a return to his hometown.
In this way, James's feud with the Cavaliers is over, and it can even be said that it is full of warmth. A while ago, James also said that he did not reject returning to the Cavaliers to play the final season and then retiring from the NBA. But now facing the Cavaliers, James really has no capital to relax.
The Lakers have now been overtaken by the New Orleans Pelicans, falling to the tenth position in the West, the situation is critical, may fall out of the top ten at any time, and the playoffs cannot be played. In this way, the Lakers can only go all out. James and the Cavaliers veteran Love are old acquaintances, and the two won the championship together in 2016, so they still hugged each other after meeting.
In this game, James tried his best, slashing a triple-double of 38 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists, leading the Lakers to directly break the Cavaliers, and finally won 131-120. In the game, James saw the opportunity to rush to the inside line to dunk, at this time Lefu also wanted to defend him, so James did not have time to dodge, can only take off directly, and deducted Lefu.
Such a domineering scoring method boosted the morale of the Lakers, so the Lakers won the game with a bang. James' barrier to Love is also a reflection of serious play. As an old teammate, James' all-out effort is also a sign of respect, and I believe That Love will understand.
