Ten years ago, an 18-year-old boy posted a sentence online: "My teacher said she would visit me at Cobb County Jail in five years." Unexpectedly, this boy who was once predicted by his teacher to end up in jail became the third overall pick in the NBA two years later, a distinguished alumnus of a famous university five years later, and won the NBA championship and Finals MVP at the age of 28, earning a total of $182 million. However, this young and successful man first fell in love with a female internet celebrity 17 years older than him, and later had a relationship with a female basketball player embroiled in domestic violence allegations, which confused many people. He is Jaylen Brown, the star of the Boston Celtics. Born on October 24, 1996, in Alpharetta, Georgia, Brown comes from a well-off family. His father, Marcelus Brown, was a professional boxer whose career began in 1989 and ended in 2016 after successfully cultivating Jaylen into the NBA. This boxer, who had been active in the ring for 27 years, always emphasized the importance of dreams and beliefs through his actions. Brown's mother holds a Ph.D. and has taught at universities. She always stressed the importance of education and knowledge. Before playing basketball as a child, his main task was to finish homework and write book reports. Growing up in such an educational environment, Brown not only became a dominant force on the court but also an academic achiever. In his senior year of high school, he ranked among the top five…

NBA regular season, the Rockets defeated the Mavericks 110-99 at home. Although the Rockets trailed in the first quarter, they were able to complete a comeback and extend their lead with their performance in the second and third quarters. They also managed to stabilize the Mavericks' counterattack in the final quarter, ultimately securing the victory. After the game, three players received perfect scores. Dillon's performance is getting better and better, and he has become an all-around player on both offense and defense. Defensively, he was able to lock down Irving, making it very difficult for him throughout the game. Offensively, his scoring ability is also good, as he scored 19 points and 6 rebounds. He also made several key shots, fully demonstrating his value. Shen Jing was also crucial, as he could continuously score in the final moments to help the team maintain their advantage. He scored the highest of the game with 23 points, plus 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and his plus-minus was also the highest of the game. Shen Jing has also become much more committed defensively, which is a point worth praising. Whitmore also played the role of a trump card. In this game, he efficiently scored 18 points with 7 out of 9 shots, including three-pointers and dribble drives, and he also completed his defensive tasks. The talent he displayed is not bad, and he deserves continued heavy use. Green, Smith, Holiday, and Adams all had passing performances. Green still had the old problem of starting strong but fading, with too many turnovers in the…

Houston Rockets Secure a Dominant Home Victory Over the Mavericks, Maintaining Their Position in the Western Conference The Houston Rockets secured an impressive home victory against the Dallas Mavericks, solidifying their position as third in the Western Conference. In this match, the Rockets limited the Mavericks to just 99 points while scoring 110 themselves, showcasing both their defensive prowess and offensive capabilities. Despite veteran Fred VanVleet's subpar performance, with only 5 points from 1 out of 8 shots, the rest of the team stepped up, including the typically underperforming bench players. Notably, the Rockets' strong second-quarter and third-quarter comebacks were largely attributed to the efforts of several key bench players. Among them, small forward Whitmore stood out, scoring 18 points in just 24 minutes on the court, with a shooting efficiency of 7 out of 9 attempts, including 3 out of 4 three-pointers. His game-high plus/minus rating of +12 underscored his significant contribution to the team's victory. However, in a post-game interview, Whitmore appeared less than thrilled despite being the second unit's top scorer. He modestly suggested that his contribution was minimal and expressed curiosity about what the future holds. While he was pleased with the win, Whitmore also conveyed a desire for more consistent playing time. When asked if he had secured stable playing time, he responded negatively. Whitmore's comments hinted at deeper concerns. His outstanding performance in this game demonstrated his value to the team, yet he remained resentful over coach Udoka's initial lack of faith in him. Although he harbored no ill will towards Udoka, Whitmore, as…

In a previous NBA regular season game, the Houston Rockets defeated the Dallas Mavericks 110-99 at home. After this game, the Rockets' record improved to 22 wins and 11 losses, continuing to rank third in the Western Conference; while the Mavericks, who suffered a three-game losing streak, saw their record drop to 20 wins and 14 losses, falling to fifth in the West. During the game, the Rockets' backup center Steven Adams performed slightly below par. Adams played for 7 minutes and 23 seconds, shooting 3 for 2, scoring 4 points and 4 rebounds with a plus-minus of -2. Although Adams managed to score some points on the offensive end by taking advantage of opportunities, his performance in other areas was quite average. His defensive performance was particularly poor, with his shortcomings in mobility still clearly visible, and his actual defensive effectiveness on the court was not particularly ideal. As a result, the team's situation when Adams was on the court was also quite average, with his plus-minus being negative. Overall, Adams' contribution to the team in this game was still relatively limited, and he was unable to provide more support. The coaching staff's trust in him is also somewhat limited, as evidenced by his relatively limited playing time. Throughout the season so far, Adams has played in 20 out of the first 33 games, averaging 10.3 minutes per game, with an average of 2.6 points, 4 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.3 steals, and 0.2 blocks, along with 1.1 turnovers and 1 foul per game, shooting 61.8% from the field and…

With this victory, the Rockets improved their record to 22 wins and 11 losses, firmly securing third place in the Western Conference, just half a game behind the second-place Memphis Grizzlies, intensifying the competition for the top four spots in the West. Game Review:‌ The Mavericks started strong in the first quarter, leading the Rockets by six points with a score of 30-24.

Super Big Clash! 7 People Ejected! Ranked Third in NBA History!‌ Do you still remember many of the major fights in NBA history? For example, the 2004 Auburn Mountain Palace incident and the Madison Square Garden brawl in 2006, etc. Those who have watched the game and experienced these scenes are definitely old fans. With the continuous development of the NBA, the passionate collisions in the game are becoming less and less. According to O'Neal's point of view, it is a mode of shooting three-pointers when going out and falling down when touched. It is rare to see some conflict events, let alone multiple conflicts. However, on the eve of the end of 2024, a major conflict occurred. On December 30, 2024, in an NBA game between the Rockets at home and the Heat, there was a super big conflict with 7 people ejected. In the final moments of the fourth quarter of the game, Van Fleet committed a violation while serving from the sideline and was ejected for complaining about the referee's decision. Later, Amen Thompson and Herro had a quarrel. Amen pushed Herro to the ground. Rozier and Hayesmith rushed up to tangle with Amen immediately, and Jalen Green also impulsively joined the melee. In the end, 7 people were ejected, including the Rockets' Amen Thompson, Jalen Green, head coach Udoka, assistant coach Sullivan, and Van Fleet who was previously ejected. Herro and Rozier of the Heat were also ejected. In NBA history, 7 people were ejected in a single game, ranking third, only behind the Auburn Mountain…

With the trade deadline approaching, the market has once again heated up. Following the Warriors and Lakers' trades to strengthen their teams, the Rockets have become a focal point of attention due to the rumors surrounding the departure of Kings' backcourt core, De'Aaron Fox. American media outlets have proposed a 9-for-3 trade deal for the Rockets, which local Houston media have praised with a high B+ rating. They also suggest a more perfect three-party trade, advocating for the sale of Green and retention of the "White Wizard." The reason behind Fox's involvement in trade rumors is primarily due to contract renewal issues and the Kings' poor performance. The Kings had hoped to complete an early contract extension with Fox during the offseason, which could have been worth $165 million over three years. Under the guidance of his agent, Rich Paul, Fox rejected the contract as they aimed for a 229milliondealoverfouryearsinthe2025offseason.IfFoxweretomaketheAll−NBAteamthisseason,hewouldevenbeeligibleforasupermaxcontractworth229 million deal over four years in the 2025 offseason. If Fox were to make the All-NBA team this season, he would even be eligible for a supermax contract worth 229milliondealoverfouryearsinthe2025offseason.IfFoxweretomaketheAll−NBAteamthisseason,hewouldevenbeeligibleforasupermaxcontractworth345 million over five years with the Kings. However, following the acquisition of DeMar DeRozan in the offseason, the Kings' performance has not improved; instead, there are signs of collapse. In the first 34 games, they only managed 15 wins, ranking fourth from the bottom in the West, and may not even qualify for the play-in tournament. In mid-December, Rich Paul flew to Sacramento to meet with the Kings' management to discuss the future of the team and Fox. Subsequently, head…

In the lead-up to the new season's early renewal deadline, the Rockets have offered two young players in their squad contracts worth hundreds of millions of yuan. The contract amounts are approximately 33 million yuan per year for Green and 36 million yuan per year for Shen Jing, with Green's contract lasting for 3 years and Shen Jing's for 5. It is understandable that the Rockets' strategy was to retain these two young players, who were selected by the team. Last season, Green did show some impressive performances at certain stages, but he still lacked consistency. However, in order to successfully keep this second overall pick, the team provided him with a player option for the final year. This is probably an acceptable outcome for both parties. As the flames of the new NBA season are about to ignite, the Rockets have completed a last-minute signing: the team has successfully renewed the contracts of two promising young stars - Jalen Green and Shen Jing. Jalen Green, the second overall pick from 2021, has been regarded as a core player to be cultivated for the future since being selected by the Rockets. The Rockets have signed a three-year, $106 million early renewal contract with Green, with the third year being a player option. Unlike many high draft picks from the same year who signed five-year long-term contracts, Green's choice appears particularly wise. This not only provides him with short-term financial security but also leaves ample room for his future career development. Green demonstrated remarkable scoring ability last season, especially during the…

End of 4-game winning streak! Maxi 22 out of 9, Fox 35+5, George fouled out with 6 fouls, 76ers face reality On January 2nd, Beijing time, the NBA 2024-25 season regular season continued, with the Sacramento Kings hosting the Philadelphia 76ers. This was the first matchup between the two teams this season, and they had split their two meetings last season, showing similar strength. It's remarkable that after a recent four-game winning streak, the 76ers' overall record reached 13 wins and 17 losses, rising to 11th in the Eastern Conference. With one more win, they would enter the Eastern Conference play-in tournament area, finally getting back on track. Moreover, according to the latest power rankings released by the NBA, the 76ers ranked 18th, making it into the top 20 for the first time since the initial rankings, which could be considered a double celebration. In contrast, the Kings have been on a downward spiral, currently holding a record of 14 wins and 19 losses, ranking fourth from the bottom in the West, which is quite surprising. In the latest power rankings, the Kings have fallen to 23rd in the league, basically at the level of tanking teams, which is absurd. After all, during the last offseason, the Kings just brought in their third superstar, DeRozan, with no intention of aiming for the number one draft pick. Now, they can't even reach the threshold of the play-in tournament. Additionally, the team's best coach in the league, Mike Brown, was fired by management, becoming the scapegoat for poor performance. Before the game,…
