The Olympic semifinals between the United States men's basketball team and the Serbia men's basketball team were staged in the early hours of this morning, and in the end they still won 95-91. James and Curry performed very well in this game, with a total of 52 points, 20 rebounds and 12 assists, of which Curry scored 36 points and hit 9 three-pointers, and James contributed a triple-double with 16 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists.

The end of this game means that the United States men's basketball team is one game away from winning the gold medal, and they will face the host France men's basketball team in the next game. The United States men's basketball team has a clear advantage over the France men's basketball team, especially in terms of outside configuration. If the United States men's basketball team can win the Olympic gold medal in the next game, which player is most likely to win the Olympic men's basketball MVP award through the journey of this year's Olympic Games?

After this game, James has led the United States men's basketball team in all three statistics of points, rebounds and assists in this Olympics. And according to the Olympic MVP ranking given by FIBA, James is the number one. That is to say, as long as James can play smoothly in the next game, the United States team can successfully win the gold medal, and James basically locked the Olympic MVP award.

James has touched countless accolades in his career, but this one has never been earned. Because the award was reintroduced at the 2020 Olympics, when Durant won the honor at the Tokyo Olympics.

If James wins the Olympic MVP award at the age of 39, his entire basketball career will be much more complete, and he can say that he has no regrets in this year's Olympic journey.

It has to be said that at the age of 39, James still shows strong dominance on the field. In such a United States men's basketball team full of young players, it is still necessary to rely on these three veterans to play critical moments. The same is true for the Lakers. We can't imagine what the Lakers will be like without James in the future, and maybe they will become a team that can't compete in the playoffs every year.

So for the Lakers, they have to make the most of the time when James can still play. Try to grasp the rest of James's peak as much as possible. Through some trade reinforcements, try to challenge for the championship again in the new season as much as possible. If James had finished his career with five championship rings, it would have been even more satisfying for the fans, as he could proudly wear one hand over the ring after he retired.
