On January 14, 2025, Beijing time, the Lakers hosted the Spurs at home. The Spurs were without Sohan, and this was the third meeting between the two teams this season. In the previous two meetings, the Lakers won both times when playing away, including a 18-point victory over the Spurs last time, so the industry believed that the Lakers would defeat the Spurs again. The Lakers led by 10 points at halftime, which looked promising. However, the Spurs completely defeated the Lakers in the second half, winning the third quarter by 11 points to level the score difference, and then beating the Lakers 37-13 in the fourth quarter to win by a 24-point advantage. The Lakers won by 18 points in their last away game against the Spurs, but lost by 24 points at home this time. What caused this? There are multiple reasons, one of which is crucial, even fatal. This reason is the departure of a Lakers player. This player performed outstandingly in the last game against the Spurs, being the key contributor to the Lakers' big win, and that player is Russell. In the last game against the Spurs, Russell came off the bench for nearly 26 minutes, shooting 7-for-11 (3-for-6 from three-point range) for 17 points, 1 rebound, 5 assists, and 1 steal with no turnovers, and a plus-minus of +19, the highest in the game. Russell was recently traded by the Lakers to the Nets (in exchange for Finney-Smith and Milton). After Russell's trade, some people said the Lakers would regret it because although Russell's…

In the ever-changing landscape of the NBA, a single loss may not seem extraordinary. However, the Lakers' crushing defeat against the Spurs with a score of 102-126 has left their owner, Jeanie Buss, utterly furious. The reasons behind her anger go beyond what the scoreboard reveals. The unexpected wildfires in Los Angeles have become an accidental "spark" for this defeat. Due to the wildfires, the game was forced to pause, giving the Lakers players an extended five-day break. This seemingly pleasant holiday actually disrupted the team's rhythm. The halt in training significantly reduced the players' performance on the court. While Anthony Davis displayed a stable and excellent state, making 13 out of 18 shots for 30 points and grabbing 13 rebounds, becoming a beacon of light in the Lakers' dark night, other players seemed to have lost their way, absent-minded, and devoid of any desire for victory. LeBron James, the core leader of the Lakers, made 7 out of 11 shots for 18 points, 5 rebounds, and 8 assists, which appears to be standard. However, during the decisive fourth quarter when the Spurs unleashed a mad offensive wave of 37-13, James could not escape blame. He made consecutive mistakes while leading the team, and his shots repeatedly missed, causing the score to widen instantly and plunging the Lakers into an irreversible defeat. This not only greatly disappointed the fans but also angered Jeanie Buss about the team's performance. Reeves, who once shone brilliantly on the court, was brought back to reality in this match. Facing the Spurs' tough defense, he…

The situation for the Warriors this season has been truly terrible, like a roller coaster. They started at the top of the Western Conference but have since plummeted to tenth place. The team also acquired German player Dennis Schroder through a trade, who was originally highly anticipated. However, it now appears that he is not living up to expectations, averaging only 7 points per game with a three-point shooting percentage of just 26%. He is not performing at the level expected of him, and he has even questioned Steve Kerr's tactics. Schroder stated that he has always excelled at dribbling and setting screens, and he very much wants to play pick-and-roll with tall players, which can maximize his threat. However, the current situation is completely different. He is required to run without the ball, and in short, he is unable to do what he used to do. It is clear that Schroder believes Steve Kerr did not use him correctly, leading to a decline in his personal form. Many experts and fans now argue that the reason Steve Kerr has been successful and hailed as the NBA's best coach is mainly because he benefited from Stephen Curry's peak period. In fact, this coach has no coaching ability at all. His coaching ability during games could even be considered mid-to-lower level. In every game, whoever plays well and has good手感, he substitutes them out. Moreover, he always likes to obsess over small lineups, causing the team to frequently be overwhelmed by opponents, with rebounding being abysmal in every game. Even Kevin…

The Kings defeated the Bulls with a score of 124-119, which for the Kings was just another routine victory in their recent streak. They have recently undergone a transformation and have won seven consecutive games, with a record of 20 wins and 19 losses, temporarily ranking ninth in the Western Conference, only half a game behind the eighth-placed Timberwolves. Moreover, with the Cavaliers losing to the Pacers on the same day, the Kings' seven-game winning streak has become the longest active streak in the league! Basketball Warrior noticed that among the seven victories, there were significant wins such as a 114-97 victory over the Eastern Conference's second-ranked Celtics by 17 points, a 138-133 win over the Western Conference's third-ranked Grizzlies, and a 110-100 victory over the Western Conference's fifth-ranked Mavericks. The Kings even defeated the Warriors by 30 points with a score of 129-99, which was quite unexpected. Why has the Kings experienced a transformation recently when they were once in a precarious position? The most direct factor is the change in the team's head coach. On December 27, 2024, the Kings officially announced the dismissal of Mike Brown, and assistant coach Doug Christie was appointed as the interim head coach. Mike Brown's coaching record for the Kings this season did not meet expectations, with a record of only 13 wins and 18 losses at the time of his dismissal, ranking 12th in the Western Conference, gradually falling behind the competitive Western Conference teams. In addition, according to media reports, during Mike Brown's tenure, there may have been rumors of…

NBA regular season continues to be played, with the Rockets hosting the Grizzlies at home. The Rockets have been in good form recently, securing a three-game winning streak. In this game, the Rockets' offensive performance was average, but fortunately, Green's efficient play helped the team keep up with the score, trailing 23-30 in the first quarter. In the second quarter, Green continued his stable performance, and White Magic, who came off the bench, also performed efficiently, with the Rockets trailing 57-60 at halftime. In the second half, both teams fought fiercely, but in the final quarter, the Rockets once trailed by 13 points. Fortunately, Green led the team with a 14-2 run to narrow the gap, and in the end, Amen made a free throw to seal the victory. Green has proven that as long as he has the ball, he can perform, having scored over 25 points for five consecutive games. He is now a true scoring weapon with high offensive efficiency (a shooting percentage of 72.2% in this game), capable of driving and shooting, creating fouls, and not shying away from key shots, scoring 10 points in the fourth quarter alone. This season, Green has scored over 30 points in seven games, with the Rockets maintaining a perfect 7-0 record in those games. He finished the game with 42 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 steal on 13-of-18 shooting, including 5-of-6 from three-point range. Today, it was entirely Green's individual effort that carried the Rockets' offense; without his outstanding performance, the Rockets would have lost much earlier.…

George's performance in Philadelphia is like a roller coaster, with ups and downs, especially his public dissatisfaction with coach Nurse's arrangement for him to play the No. 5 position, which has caused a great stir in public opinion. Once upon a time, he was in the Clippers, his performance could be said to be at its peak, with an average of 22.6 points, which made people look up to him. However, after moving to Philadelphia, his performance plummeted, making people wonder: Is this still the George we once knew? Coach Nurse's tactical arrangement is undoubtedly the fuse of this turmoil. The decision to let George play the No. 5 position has aroused considerable controversy in the basketball world. George's public dissatisfaction has added fuel to the fire. Imagine a player who is used to chasing small players being arranged to top the center position. It's like asking a cat to swim; it just doesn't seem right. George's teammates were not idle either. Emperor's teasing made people laugh: "If you don't play center, should I, a 2.13-meter-tall small guard, go to the No. 5 position?" Behind this joke lies the team's helplessness and confusion about George's position arrangement. Media comments have further escalated this turmoil. Clippers reporter Esnaashari pointed out mercilessly: "Under the circumstances of poor team performance, George actually dared to say such words, which is too outrageous." These words are undoubtedly questioning George's professional attitude. However, in the game against the Pelicans, George contributed 25 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals, seemingly responding to external doubts with…

Undoubtedly, the current Thunder team is brimming with vitality and talent, but how far can they go in the playoffs? The Thunder currently leads the West with a record of 31 wins and 6 losses, but their recent three defeats against the Rockets, Bucks, and Cavaliers have exposed their shortcomings when facing strong opponents. The Thunder is full of potential, boasting many young players who have yet to reach their peak. The biggest challenge for the Thunder is whether these young players can support them in advancing to the Finals. Last year in the playoffs, they were defeated by the more experienced Mavericks. If Thunder General Manager Sam Presti believes that the team needs to bring in an All-Star veteran to help them progress further, he undoubtedly has sufficient draft picks as bargaining chips. Choosing to bring back Kevin Durant, the former star who led the team to the Finals, would undoubtedly be the best choice. Durant's current team, the Suns, is currently in trouble, providing the Thunder with an opportunity to acquire him. If the 36-year-old Durant wants to elevate his historical status, he needs to continue competing for championships, and returning to the Thunder would also be the best choice. What assets can the Thunder offer to bring back Durant? American media outlet "FW" special correspondent Colin Keane has provided a simulated trade proposal between the two teams: Thunder Acquires: Kevin Durant - Annual salary of 51.18 million, contract until 2026, averaging 27.1 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 0.7 steals, and 1.3 blocks this season, with shooting percentages…

Four Consecutive Wins! Green Scores 42+5, Morant Makes 11 of 24 Shots, New Star Rises in Rockets, Grizzlies Suffer Third Defeat By Lao Kan Kan Qiu | Edited by Lao Kan Kan Qiu On January 14th, Beijing time, the NBA 2024-25 season regular season welcomes a key match in the Western Conference, with the Houston Rockets hosting the Memphis Grizzlies. This is the third confrontation between the two teams this season, and the previous two encounters were won by the Rockets, showing a clear advantage. Obviously, the Rockets are indeed strong this season, with the continuous rise of new stars within the team, which has raised the depth of the lineup to a new level. Currently, the team has a record of 25 wins and 12 losses, achieving a three-game winning streak, ranking second in the West, just behind the Thunder. The reason for their impressive performance is closely related to their defense. The data shows that so far this season, the Rockets have an average of 107.1 points conceded and a defensive efficiency of 107.0, both ranking among the top three in the league. In contrast, the Grizzlies are also a dark horse in the West, currently with a record of 25 wins and 14 losses, ranking third in the West. Obviously, this is a crucial battle for positioning, and neither team wants to lose. Before the game, American media ESPN also gave the latest win rate prediction for today's game, with the Rockets having a win rate as high as 51.1%, while the Grizzlies' win rate is only…

Don't ask me this question anymore! Udoka doesn't want to answer questions about Ison's injury situation again. He has repeatedly stated that there have been no changes and no specific timetable for his return. Because Ison can't play, Amane is promoted to the starting lineup. Although Udoka does not appreciate Whitmore's playing style, he still has to use him. Of course, Udoka will also constantly look for opportunities to discipline Whitmore to demonstrate his authority within the Rockets team. Udoka said in an interview that Sheppard scored 49 points in a single game in the Development League but was not selfish and did not force anything. Udoka suggests to Sheppard: "Be aggressive on offense, be confident, and be more decisive in certain aspects. As I said, he needs to control the rhythm of the game and find shooting opportunities through a lot of practice while also accepting some defensive challenges." Udoka also said: "We have seen similar situations with Whitmore. Many times, some players' states stagnate when they get less playing time, but once they truly get the opportunity to play in actual combat, they can quickly enter the state." Udoka admits that Jalen Green is a player with strong scoring ability and hopes he can maintain stability. The Rockets narrowly defeated the Grizzlies to win their 26th game of the season. Jalen Green scored 42 points with 3 rebounds and 4 assists, shooting 13 of 18 from the field, 5 of 6 from three-point range, and a plus-minus of +8. His performance in this game surpassed his older brother…
