On December 31, 2021, LeBron James celebrated his 37th birthday. Although everyone can't fight against the natural laws of the world, and people's bodily functions will always gradually weaken with age, 37-year-old James doesn't seem to plan to give up the throne just like that. Although he was spoiled by the Grizzlies and Morant on his birthday, James, who returned to Los Angeles, scored 43 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists, repelled the Blazers, and delivered a late victory for his 37th birthday.

Last season's CBA League was full of regrets for the Liaoning team. As the most favored team by the media last season, the Liaoning Men's Basketball Team has the highest level of CBA whether it is the performance of young people, the introduction of domestic aid, or the introduction of foreign aid. However, the young marshal Yang Ming, who fought for the first time in a wealthy battle, did not seem to be used to it. In the finals, he lost to the more mature Guangdong team. Looking back at the entire finals process, the biggest problem exposed by the Liaoning team is the lack of inside ability. Zhu Rongzhen's ability is not enough to appear in the finals for longer. Han Dejun's competitive state has entered an irreversible decline as he ages. The Liaoning Men's Basketball Team had only Fu Hao as the team's fifth position in the final battle of the second game. This directly led to the team's loss of defense and the unfavorable situation of the Guangdong team's rebounding completely controlled by the Guangdong team. However, the problem of inside lanes is not so easy to solve for the wealthy Liaolan. Before Zhu Rongzhen arrived on the team, Han Dejun did not even have a full-time substitute. Under such circumstances, Liaoning fans also missed the team’s "domestic warcraft" Li Xiaoxu more and more. Finally, after a full 358 days of rehabilitation, Li Xiaoxu returned in the warm-up match between Liaoning and Jilin and was in very good condition.
