Refusing multiple teams, designated to join the Lakers! The purple and gold army has made a big profit, you are indeed worthy of more respect This scene is really heart-wrenching.

They are satisfied with their current playoff position, but secretly they are making a fortune from the…

In the perception of many people, Joe Tsai is just the head of Alibaba and the man Ma Yun trusts the most. However, few know that Joe Tsai has another identity, which is the owner of the American NBA Brooklyn Nets. In 2019, after achieving financial freedom, Joe Tsai spent a whopping 3.5 billion to buy an NBA team, becoming the first Chinese owner in NBA history. Subsequently, Joe Tsai gathered three giants: Harden, Irving, and Durant, earning a staggering 1.8 billion in four years! Facing the doubts of everyone, Joe Tsai rose to the challenge and created his own investment legend. It was in 2019 when a Russian tycoon, due to poor management of his team, decided to sell one of his NBA teams. As soon as the news broke, Jack Ma, the head of Alibaba Group, was ready to make a move. Without hesitation, Joe Tsai directly invested 2.35 billion US dollars to acquire the ownership of the NBA Brooklyn Nets from this tycoon. Following that, Joe Tsai also spent 1.15 billion US dollars to buy the Barclays Center. Through these actions, Joe Tsai demonstrated his determination to enter the sports industry. Joe Tsai's bold move shocked fans both at home and abroad. No one could have imagined that this Chinese super-rich would spend so much money and become the first Chinese owner of an NBA team. Only Joe Tsai's friends were optimistic about him, saying, "This is exactly like his moves in the capital market, seizing the opportunity and making a decisive move!" Everyone was looking forward…

The Pistons lost to the Warriors with a score of 104-107, ending their five-game winning streak. The Warriors became the first team to defeat the Pistons in 2025! It's not that the Warriors played particularly well today; it's just that the Pistons were lacking a bit of luck. They were so close, just a little bit short, and Curry and Green, these two core players, almost helped the Pistons defeat the Warriors. Throughout the game, Curry shot 5 out of 21, made 2 out of 14 three-pointers, scoring 17 points, 10 rebounds, and 6 assists. Green shot 3 out of 9, missed all 3 three-point attempts, scoring 7 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists. It's surprising that despite Curry's 2 out of 14 three-point shooting, the Warriors still managed to win. Do you think we'll see Curry return to his former glory this season? However, in the second round of All-Star voting, Curry did surpass Doncic and returned to the starting lineup. This is mainly because Doncic has been injured and out for several games recently, with no significant performance otherwise. Curry's performance this season has indeed been somewhat unsatisfactory! Averaging 22.8 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 6.1 assists, there is an obvious decline in scoring. Of course, Curry's popularity has also significantly declined, mainly due to the Warriors' poor record this season. And this year, the Warriors' struggles are no longer solely due to Curry's hard work without support from his teammates. In competitive sports, everyone admires strength! Curry's current situation is similar to Durant's. Do we all miss those…

This game was a crucial battle for positioning, as the Rockets were second in the Western Conference before the game, while the Grizzlies were third, with only a 0.5-game difference between them.

In the first half of the first quarter, the Rockets' offense was very fierce, with Shen Jing almost shooting without missing, and Green and VanVleet also contributing. In less than 7 minutes, the Rockets led by 12 points at 33-21; however, in the middle and later stages, the Rockets' shooting accuracy showed a noticeable decline, and the Grizzlies once reduced the gap to only 5 points.

However, he still contributed a comprehensive stat line of 17 points, 10 rebounds, and 6 assists, becoming the core of the Warriors' victory. On the Pistons' side, Cunningham put on an impressive performance, scoring 32 points with 6 rebounds and 8 assists, but unfortunately failed to lead the team to a comeback.

Just a couple of days ago, the NBA Western Conference witnessed a series of matches that sparked a thrilling and captivating battle. Let's take a look at the newly crowned Kings. After dismissing Mike Brown, interim head coach Doug Christie has led the team to an impressive three consecutive victories. In their most recent game, six players scored in double figures, with Monk putting up an outstanding 31 points as they defeated the formidable Grizzlies of the West. This victory not only showcased the Kings' new state under the new coach but also indirectly assisted the Rockets in their ranking. The Grizzlies were already second in the West, and this defeat added a touch of suspense to the subsequent ranking battles. However, the state of the Kings' flag bearer, Fox, remains perplexing. There were rumors that the Rockets were interested in trading for him using assets like Sheppard, yet in this game, he only managed to score 23 points, remaining in a slump. Whether this is due to the impact of trade rumors or other reasons, it has indeed sparked speculation among fans. Other Kings players like Sabonis, however, performed exceptionally well, proving that they are not a team that relies solely on individual brilliance. Another heavyweight team, the Clippers, received the long-awaited good news - Leonard and Harden are set to return. This…

In terms of this season's dark horse teams, the East is Cleveland, and the West is the Houston Rockets. In fact, after the first 37 games, they achieved a record of 33 wins and 4 losses, and are currently on a 12-game winning streak. Judging from the current momentum, they seem invincible. Additionally, in the Eastern Conference standings, Cleveland firmly occupies the top spot, six games ahead of the Celtics. Considering Cleveland's strength this season, these six games represent a significant gap. In other words, the rest of the Eastern Conference teams are essentially competing for second place this season, as first has already been reserved by Cleveland. In fact, no one expected at the beginning of the season that Cleveland would perform so aggressively and achieve such results. As for the Western Conference, the Houston Rockets are the biggest dark horse team. After finishing their first 37 games, they have a record of 25 wins and 12 losses. Although not as dazzling as Cleveland, considering that the Rockets were in rebuilding mode in previous seasons, their rise to second place in the West this season has successfully placed them among the top-tier strong teams. Moreover, it's important to note that the Rockets have solidly maintained their position in second place in the West because they defeated their main opponent, the Grizzlies. Therefore, when everyone sees the Rockets' game state and the results they've achieved, it's undeniable that their years of rebuilding have finally shown hope, even though there are still some issues with the team, at least they've managed…

Breaking News! Leonard Leaves Team! Lakers Game Canceled! Today's NBA regular season saw the Clippers suffer a crushing defeat to the Nuggets, with a final score of 103-126. The game was devoid of suspense, as the Nuggets led by 14 points in the first quarter, continued to dominate the Clippers in the second, and further widened the gap in the third. By the fourth quarter, the game had essentially turned into garbage time, ultimately resulting in a loss for the Clippers. This loss is particularly regrettable for the Clippers, as they faced the Nuggets without their two core players, Jokic and Gordon. This match was also a crucial positioning battle between the two teams. Prior to this game, the Clippers were tied in record with the Mavericks and Lakers, and only half a game behind the Nuggets. A victory could have propelled them up three positions, from seventh to fourth in the Western Conference. Unfortunately, they missed this golden opportunity. Leonard has only played two games this season. According to renowned journalist Haynes, following the large-scale evacuation due to wildfires in Los Angeles, Leonard left the Clippers to reunite with his family, with no immediate plans to return. Haynes reported on X, "Leonard is about to leave the team. Sources tell me he will take care of his family in the Los Angeles area who were forced to evacuate due to the wildfires." According to American media reports, strong winds fanned the flames that swept through the Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles on Tuesday night. Over 30,000 residents in…
