The Lakers are out of the game! James s back is moving, kissing his beloved wife and returning to the locker room in despair

On May 1, the Lakers G5 lost to the Timberwolves 96-103 at home in the NBA playoffs, and suffered a severance of 1-4. The Lakers were officially eliminated; in the G5 life and death battle, James played for 40 minutes, made 9 of 21 shots, scored 22 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, and hugged his opponent after the game and left the court lonely.

In the first round of this year's playoffs, the Lakers were eliminated by the Timberwolves in 5 games, 1 win, 4 losses, 1-4 in 5 games, James G1 scored 19 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, G2 scored 21 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists, G3 scored 38 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, G4 scored 27 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists, and G5 scored 22 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists in the life-and-death battle. After the G5 game, James hugged Randall and other Timberwolves players, greeted his opponents and left the field lonely; in the player channel, James kissed Savanna and returned to the locker room, the background was full of frustration and despair, and it was too helpless to stop in the first round again.

James was discussed and eliminated in his first round with a home advantage in the first round. He played in two consecutive years. In the seven-year Lakers career, James has not entered the playoffs twice, stopped in the first round three times, and stopped in the Western Conference Finals once, leading the team to win the 17th championship in team history in 2020.

In the 2024-25 season, James played 70 regular season games, averaging 34.9 minutes per game, scoring 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 1 steal. At the age of 40, he still had 14 single games and 40+ in 2 single games. Currently, the total score of the regular season is 42,184 points, ranking first in history.

James led the Lakers to advance to the playoffs as the third in the Western Conference, but was defeated by the Timberwolves 1-4 in the first round. He played in one round for two consecutive years, and his hope of pursuing his fifth championship in his career was shattered early.

Last summer, James signed a two-year, $101 million contract extension with the Lakers. After playing this season, there is still one year left for the contract with the Lakers, with a player option worth $52.62 million.

James has played for 22 seasons. What decision will James make this summer? I can only wait and see.
