The upcoming game between the Rockets and the Pelicans is already causing fatigue just by looking at the injury list. On one side, the Rockets are slightly injured but still fighting with high spirits, while on the other, the Pelicans are missing key players, leaving their team incomplete, much like a car missing a few wheels - can it run steadily? This time, the match between the Rockets and the Pelicans is not only a competition on the basketball court but also a major test of the teams' resilience and adaptability. The Rockets' performance at the beginning of the season has truly impressed fans. Currently ranked in the top four in the West, although occasionally upset, who dares to say they are not strong contenders for the playoffs? This time, Alperen Sengun's left knee is slightly sore, Tari Eason is still recuperating due to injury management issues from last season, and Steven Adams appears on the injury list from time to time. However, these minor troubles are like drizzle to the Rockets; after it passes, the sky is still blue. Are the Rocket fans silently cheering for the team in their hearts, feeling that these minor injuries are nothing? Looking at the other players who cannot play, such as Jose Alvarado, this short guard who usually excels in steals, passing, and shooting, is now resting due to injury, which is no small loss for the Pelicans' backcourt. There's also Daniel Theis and Carlo Matkovic, plus Jordan Hawkins with a waist injury; these five people cannot play, directly reducing the Pelicans'…

In this strong matchup, OKC easily overwhelmed the five giants of New York, and the game entered garbage time after three quarters, with SGA scoring 39 points in three quarters and clocking out. Before this game, the NBA's official MVP rankings had been updated: SGA, Jokic, Giannis, Wembanyama, and Tatum were in the top five, and SGA finally ended Jokic's eight-week streak at the top of the MVP rankings. After suffering a loss in Cleveland, SGA started the game with fierce momentum, scoring 13 points and 3 rebounds on 8 shots with 5 made and 3 free throws made, without any assists.

On January 11th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season saw the Nuggets defeat the Nets 124-109 at home, sweeping the Nets for the second time this season. Jokic returned to the court after missing two games due to illness, going 13 of 19 from the field for 35 points, 12 rebounds, 15 assists, and 4 steals. He played both offensively and defensively, making an unreasonable 2+1 without looking at the basket, with a +33 plus-minus rating, delivering another MVP-level performance; Westbrook had 25 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists, with a +21 plus-minus rating, as Jokic and Westbrook both recorded triple-doubles again. Due to illness, Jokic missed consecutive games against the Celtics and Clippers. Today, Jokic returned to full health and immediately displayed his dominance in his first game back; in the first quarter, he ravaged the paint, continuously scoring points, and even made an unreasonable 2+1 without looking at the basket, going 6 of 8 for 14 points in the quarter, grabbing 3 rebounds, and dishing out 4 assists, showcasing his versatility. In the second quarter, Jokic played very relaxed on the court, with Westbrook, Struthers, and Watson providing firepower. The Nuggets won the quarter 33-23, overtaking the score by 10 points.

Life is always filled with regrets, and everyone experiences them. Just as the saying goes in poetry, "People have joys and sorrows, and the moon has its phases of brightness and darkness." There are always some players in the NBA who evoke a sense of pity, such as Allen Iverson and Tracy McGrady, because although their career influence is significant, it always feels incomplete due to the lack of a championship ring. Among current NBA players, there are also three such individuals: Chris Paul, James Harden, and Russell Westbrook. Chris Paul Paul was selected fourth overall in the 2005 draft, and he has now played for 19 seasons. Throughout his career, he has been close to winning the championship four times. Perhaps it's a matter of fate that he hasn't been favored by the gods. He has won the steals title six times, the assists title five times, made the All-NBA First Team four times, and the All-NBA Defensive First Team seven times. With over 12,000 assists, ranking third in history, and 2,664 steals, also ranking third in history, and scoring 22,608 points, ranking 36th in history, do these honors still make you doubt him? If he can secure a championship in the future, he will undoubtedly rank among the top five point guards in history. James Harden Harden entered the league as the third pick in the 2009 draft and has played for 15 seasons. Apart from the championship, Harden has won almost every honor, including MVP, Sixth Man of the Year, scoring titles, assists titles, and All-NBA First…

Dear fans and friends, hello! This time, I'm going to delve into Howard's private life, as he has gotten himself involved in another illegitimate child scandal! After joining the Taiwanese league, Howard found himself embroiled in yet another paternity scandal within just a few months. A well-known commentator, Yang, boldly revealed on his show that Howard had an affair with a Taiwanese girl, resulting in her pregnancy. When she showed up with a big belly, she came looking for Superman Howard for an explanation. When Howard first joined the league, many netizens felt something was amiss. Given Howard's usual style, his reasons for joining a lower-tier league might not have been pure. Many fans and media speculated at the time whether Superman Howard was there for the Taiwanese girls? Who is the beauty that caused Howard to "crash"? Her identity quickly piqued everyone's curiosity. After Howard joined the team, he interacted frequently with several cheerleaders. However, according to league rules, Howard should not have initiated contact with these cheerleaders. But according to media analysis, the most likely person to have had an intimate relationship with Howard and become pregnant is probably the cheerleader known as the "Peach Goddess," Zhuangzhuang. This beauty had previously engaged in intimate interactions with Howard. She even took the initiative to send him her sexy photos, and they exchanged contact information. Given Howard's character, how could he resist such proactive and enthusiastic Taiwanese girls! Moreover, Zhuangzhuang's figure is quite outstanding, fitting the aesthetic standards of Westerners. Once during Valentine's Day, someone exposed Howard's frequent visits to…

On January 11, 2025, Beijing time, the Knicks, with a record of 25 wins and 13 losses, faced off against the Thunder, who had 30 wins and 6 losses. This was the second meeting between the two teams this season. In their first encounter, the Thunder defeated the Knicks at home, ending the Knicks' nine-game winning streak. The Knicks were eager for revenge today. The Thunder lost to the Cavaliers in their previous game, ending their 15-game winning streak. They also hoped to bounce back. Both teams are very strong, so who would win today's game? The Knicks were without Miro, starting with Brunson, Bridges, Hart, OG, and Towns. The Thunder were missing Chet and Caruso, starting with Alexander, Wallace, Dort, Jalen, and Harten. In the first quarter, both teams played with high defensive intensity in the first five minutes, making it difficult for either side to score. The Knicks only managed to score through Brunson's two free throws, while the Thunder scored through Jalen's layup, resulting in a 2-2 tie. Brunson and Hart then scored four points, giving the Knicks a 6-2 lead. Alexander responded with a mid-range jumper, reducing the gap to two points. After a timeout, Jalen and Dort scored five points, allowing the Thunder to take a three-point lead. Brunson scored five points in response, but Alexander and Isaiah Joe combined for five points, keeping the difference at three points. Hart and Towns scored, while Alexander continued to score, with Wiggins, Dort, and Isaiah Joe also contributing, extending the lead to 14 points. At the end…

Some people may think that Jalen Green is not domineering enough, but his playing style is not lacking in domineering. He is modest as a person and domineering on the court, which is at least the type of player I personally like very much. Second is endurance C. No matter how capable you are, it's useless if you can't get on the court. Green has been with the Rockets for more than three seasons, and his appearance rate has always been guaranteed. This may have a lot to do with his youth and physical fitness, which is also very important for our team. There are still many problems with Green. But during this period, the progress on both offense and defense is visible to the naked eye. Maybe it really hasn't reached everyone's expectations, fortunately, our team's current record is good, so we might as well give Green some more time, maybe he will surprise us. In fact, it is exactly the same as playing against the Timberwolves. The Grizzlies let Shenjing play alone, and they try to recover on the offensive end from Shenjing. This rhythm continued until the fourth quarter, which was actually a successful comeback. Shenjing could only score 1 point in the end because he couldn't keep up, but Jenkins didn't take Green into account. In the final fourth quarter, he scored 8 points out of 18, pulling the rhythm back. This is also why various platforms rate Green higher than Shenjing, whether it's defense or offense, both are steadily improving. Overall, the 21 twin stars…

Breaking News! Fox May Join Spurs, Will the Western Conference Landscape Change?‌ This season's Spurs are like a sailboat navigating through stormy seas, with some glimmers of hope but still searching for the strong wind that will push them to the peak. So far, the team's record has significantly improved from last season, undoubtedly the result of the collective efforts of the entire team. However, a closer look at the team's lineup reveals that the guard line is still a significant shortcoming, much like a sailboat with a sail not sturdy enough to maintain stability in strong winds. In the fiercely competitive Western Conference, every game is a tough battle. Opposing guards often find themselves unopposed, scoring at will against the Spurs' defense. This not only repeatedly puts the team at a disadvantage in terms of points but also places immense defensive pressure on the frontline's Wenyama. Although Wenyama is gifted and can build a barrier in the paint while possessing the ability for outside shooting, he cannot do it alone. He urgently needs a capable backcourt partner to share the burden and create more offensive opportunities. The Spurs management is clearly aware of the urgency of this issue and their desire for change grows stronger. After all, having a potential star like Wenyama is akin to holding the key to the championship door. A good key requires a fine lock to maximize its effectiveness. Thus, rumors and speculations about the Spurs' actions in the trade market abound, with the possibility of Fox joining the Spurs receiving considerable attention from…

On January 11th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued with the Nuggets hosting the Nets. Despite the absence of several key players for the Nets, they started off strong and took control of the game. However, the Nuggets fought back to take the lead and extended their advantage, leading by as many as 22 points at one point. The Nets made a comeback attempt in the fourth quarter, narrowing the gap, but ultimately fell short. In the end, the Nuggets defeated the Nets 124-105. The Nets' performance was commendable, as they initially took control of the game with multiple players contributing. Unfortunately, the lack of a primary scorer proved costly, resulting in a 19-point loss. A total of seven Nets players scored in double figures, with Keon Johnson leading the way with 22 points, Martin adding 19, and Simmons contributing 10. Several role players seized the opportunity to showcase their abilities, but it wasn't enough to avoid a crushing defeat. On the Nuggets' side, Murray's early exit due to injury did not deter Jokic, who continued his dominant form, being in a league of his own on the court. In 38 minutes of play, he shot 14 out of 21, accumulating 35 points, 12 rebounds, and 15 assists for a triple-double. His plus-minus rating of +33, along with four steals, were all team highs. Jokic was unstoppable on the court, solidifying his status as the top player in the paint. This was his 15th triple-double of the season, ranking first in the league. Westbrook also had an impressive outing,…

Over the entire game, Haliburton played 35 minutes, shooting 8-for-10, including 2-for-4 from beyond the arc and 7-for-7 from the charity stripe, tallying 25 points, 2 rebounds, 10 assists, and 3 steals, with a plus-minus of +18. Isaiah Joe came off the bench to shoot down the Knicks with 8 three-pointers. In the first half, he played only 13 minutes, shooting 8-for-11, including 6-for-7 from downtown and 1-for-1 from the free-throw line, amassing 23 points and 1 rebound. For the whole game, he played 30 minutes, shooting 11-for-16, including 8-for-11 from three-point land and 1-for-1 from the free-throw line, exploding for a season-high 31 points, along with 1 rebound and 2 assists. Alexander, currently atop the MVP rankings, continued his dominant play, scoring 39 points in just three quarters. In the first half, he shot 8-for-12, converting all 3 free throws, scoring 19 points with 3 rebounds and 2 assists, leading his team to a…
