Can you imagine? This season's Celtics, hailed as the "most stable championship favorites," were unexpectedly crushed at home by the Kings, who were missing their core player! Did they underestimate their opponent? Or did the Kings suddenly transform into a super team overnight? This match, dubbed the "biggest upset of the season," not only shocked everyone but also sparked a deep reflection on the entire league's landscape: have we overestimated the Celtics? Honestly, the moment the result of this game came out, many people were probably stunned. The Celtics, with star players like Tatum, Brown, Porzingis, and Holiday, should have locked in the suspense of the game. But this team, which usually emphasizes "multiple scoring points," suddenly experienced a collective "power outage." Throughout the game, only three players scored in double digits, and their offensive performance was so lackluster that it made the home fans suffer like running a marathon. To put it bluntly, the Celtics' loss was not due to being overwhelmed by the opposition but because they ruined a good hand themselves. On the other hand, the Kings have left an impression of "not quite enough to be considered top-tier, yet better than many" throughout the season. However, in this game, they had a party-level explosion. The Kings' "four giants" - DeRozan, Sabonis, Monk, and Murray - combined for 86 points, 38 rebounds, and 21 assists. Not only did they directly defeat the Celtics head-on, but they also delivered the most perfect game of the season for the Kings. Especially Sabonis, with 28 rebounds in a single game,…

Paul George is unhappy with his team's arrangement and publicly complains about being tired of his current role. It seems that George has started causing trouble again before the end of this season, openly complaining about the role set for him by the team. Generally speaking, once such remarks unfavorable to team unity are made public, it usually means that the team is not far from disbanding. Here's what happened: in a recent game between the 76ers and the Pelicans, the 76ers lost to the Pelicans with a score of 115-123. In this game, Paul George played for 35 minutes, shooting 10 out of 22, including 5 out of 12 three-pointers, scoring 25 points and 11 rebounds. After this game, the 76ers ranked 11th in the Eastern Conference with a record of 15 wins and 21 losses. After the game, George was interviewed by reporters and frankly stated that he is tired of playing the five position in defense. George said, "I am used to running, chasing, and fighting through screens in defense. Honestly, I am tired of playing the five position; it's not enough for me. However, head coach Nick Nurse wants to see a style where I use my abilities to block the middle, cut off penetration and passing routes, and match up against big men. But I still prefer to match up against smaller players and wing offensive players." In summary, George believes he can do more. However, data doesn't lie, and George's performance this season has been mediocre! The 34-year-old George averages 16.5 points, 5.8 rebounds,…

"James is almost 40 years old and still has to rely on him to desperately support the team, what's wrong with the Lakers?" Recently, this question has been frequently asked among Lakers fans. The once prestigious team now has a record of 20 wins and 16 losses, ranking sixth in the West, which doesn't seem bad, but placed in the competitive middle of the West, this up-and-down record is really worrying. Especially consecutive losses to the Mavericks and Rockets without their main players, it's really confusing. Where did the Lakers go wrong? Is it because the lineup is too weak, or are the players not performing well? In fact, at the core of all these problems is Anthony Davis. The Lakers have had many issues this season, but one thing must be acknowledged: James is really trying his best! At the age of 40, he still plays the role of "superman" in every game. Whether it's scoring, organizing, or stepping up in key moments, he almost has to give his all in every game, otherwise this Lakers team might just collapse. Can you imagine? A nearly 40-year-old veteran still maintains an average score of over 25 points, and has to do everything himself in key moments, from grabbing rebounds to defense and offense. Such performance should be the responsibility of "superstar" Anthony Davis. But due to Davis' low morale, James has to work tirelessly like a "full-time king," much like a retired old man who still has to go home to farm for his family, which is both touching and…

Why is a team with four giants being beaten without any resistance by a team lacking their star player? The Clippers' defeat is not just a loss in one game, but a comprehensive setback. And Westbrook, the former Clippers cast-off, has used a revenge match to stomp on his old club's wounds. What makes this game so dramatic and eye-catching? The biggest highlight of this game is undoubtedly Westbrook's performance. In three quarters, he easily scored 19 points, 6 rebounds, and 8 assists, leading the Nuggets to crush the Clippers without Jokic. Westbrook's brilliance is not only reflected in the statistics; he used a "rocking doll" celebration to mock the Clippers fans and waved to the audience with a big laugh when he left the court. Westbrook heard the boos and sarcasm from the Clippers fans loud and clear, but he responded with his performance: "I am the player you abandoned, but I am the winner today." Honestly, Westbrook's performance this season has been inconsistent, even criticized for decision-making errors and chaotic rhythm in many games. But facing the Clippers, he seemed like a different person, playing both calmly and aggressively, as if his whole body was written with one word - "unwillingness." His former club once gave up on him, even willing to make space to bring in Harden, and today, Westbrook showed them that his value is no less than Harden's. This is a revenge where emotions and competition intertwine, and Westbrook won. This season's Clippers can be said to be "unable to eat chicken, but the rice…

In the glittering constellation of basketball, there are two brilliant stars - Curry and Durant, whose radiance illuminates the entire league and has sparked endless discussions among fans. Who holds a higher historical status? This is akin to a war without smoke, continuously burning on the basketball court. Curry, the legendary figure of the small-ball era, was destined to rewrite the history of basketball from the moment he stepped into the league. His games are like a splendid feast of three-pointers, each shot making the audience's hearts leap to their throats. On the court, Curry's agile figure weaves through the opponent's defense, with his adept dribbling skills as if the ball were an extension of his body. His eyes are always fixed on the basket, searching for the best shooting opportunity. When he stands beyond the three-point line, slightly bending his knees, his wrist gently flicks, and the basketball becomes a precise projectile, soaring through a beautiful arc and sinking cleanly through the net. His three-point shots are not just a means of scoring but also a display of art. Looking back at Curry's career, his statistics shine like stars twinkling in the night sky. Averaging 24.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.5 steals, and 0.3 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 47.2%, a three-point percentage of 42.5%, and a free-throw percentage of 91%.

Translation of the article content into English: In terms of scoring, who is better between LeBron James and Michael Jordan? Let's take a look at some data. Jordan made a total of 24,537 shot attempts in his career, scoring a total of 32,292 points. In the same number of attempts, James scored 33,918 points, which means James scored 1,626 more points than Jordan. So, does this mean James has a stronger scoring ability than Jordan? Jordan averaged 22.9 shots per game, while James averaged 19.6. Moreover, Jordan's average free throws were 8.2, which is also higher than James' 7.6. This is the fundamental reason why Jordan won the scoring title 10 times! Jordan achieved high scoring through high volume shooting, there's no denying that! During the same period as Jordan, Karl Malone was second on the scoring list five times, but he only had one season with an average of 20.1 shots. For the rest of his peak years, it was basically around 19 shots. However, during Jordan's 10 scoring titles, his average was around 23.5 shots, which is 4-5 shots more than the second-place Karl Malone on the scoring list. How could he not have more scoring titles? Jordan is also the second-highest average shooter in history, with Elgin Baylor being the first. Let's talk about the opponents faced by James and Jordan. What kind of opponents did James face? The Spurs' GDP combination, with Duncan being the best power forward in the league, Parker being the second-best team, Ginobili being the sixth man, and Popovich as the coach.…
