The Clippers faced the Nuggets in a game where it was evident that the team members were somewhat distracted. This was because their team leader, Leonard, once again missed the game. This left fans speechless as they saw Leonard absent during the match. According to the Clippers, Leonard's absence was due to personal reasons. A fire broke out in Los Angeles, and Leonard stated that he wanted to return home to be with his family. He was unable to participate in the game, which left everyone speechless, especially since Leonard had only just returned to play two games. Now, he was missing another game due to personal issues. As a team leader, this decision seriously raised doubts about his professional attitude. This is not all; there is now significant infighting within the Clippers. Players are dissatisfied that Leonard, who receives the highest salary in the team, often does not participate in games. Instead, these supporting players work hard every day, enduring criticism from fans for poor performance, while Leonard, who should be giving his all for the team, has not stepped up. This also explains why the Spurs chose to give up on him years ago. As a superstar, Leonard has significant personality issues. He frequently causes conflicts with the team and likes to operate behind the team's back. This led the Spurs, who nurtured him, to choose to let him go in the past. Now, the Clippers have suffered the consequences and can only silently accept this outcome.

Why is Klay unwilling to end his career with the Warriors? What are the reasons behind abandoning the reputation of being a one-team player? The Warriors offered Klay a contract worth about $25 million per year, but he and his team were not satisfied with this figure. They hoped to secure a more lucrative deal based on his performance in the games. In the following two crucial seasons, however, his performance did not meet expectations. Despite this, the Warriors still proposed a renewal contract for two years totaling $48 million, which is undoubtedly a contract above market value for Klay at present. Recalling the previous five-year contract worth a total of 190million,thatwasbasedonthe190 million, that was based on the 190million,thatwasbasedonthe40 million standard in 2019. Klay seems to insist that his value is around $30 million and also hopes to obtain a long-term contract, which makes it difficult for the team to accept. If Klay's annual salary were $10 million, every team in the league would compete for him. If it were $15 million, championship-contending teams would join the competition. At $20 million, teams would need to consider carefully. And once it reaches $25 million, perhaps only the Warriors and a few other teams willing to pay high prices would consider it. As for a $30 million Klay, he might just have to find a cool place to stay. From an objective perspective, the renewal contract offered by the Warriors aligns with Klay's current market value and does not take advantage of emotional factors to lower the price. There were rumors that…

However, Hield, who was introduced by the Warriors during this year's offseason, had a poor performance in this game that really needs to be highlighted. In this game, Hield completely lost his way, coming off the bench and playing for 18 minutes and 26 seconds. He shot 7 times but only made 3 shots, with 5 three-point attempts resulting in just 1 make, ultimately scoring 7 points, grabbing 3 rebounds, and dishing out 3 assists. As a result, Hield, who shone at the beginning of the season, has now fully revealed his true form. According to statistics, Hield's average scoring trend from October to January is: 21.2 → 13.2 → 8.5 → 8.0! It should be clear that during the period when the Warriors performed best this season, many Warrior fans believed that Hield had the ability to fill the void left by Klay's departure. Moreover, Hield's value is lower, making him more cost-effective than Klay. However, recently, Hield's performance has become increasingly worse, which has completely changed everyone's perception of him. So why did Hield suddenly lose his touch? The main reason is still too much pressure. It must be said that the reason for Hield's decline is that opponents have been studying and defending against him, which is an important factor. Moreover, during the Warriors' consecutive losses, the pressure on Hield has increased day by day, causing his performance to fluctuate. Just take the last two days as an example, Hield was severely scolded by Draymond Green, probably leaving a significant shadow on his mind. At the end…

The NBA regular season continues with the Cavaliers hosting the Thunder at home. The two teams are evenly matched in strength and fought fiercely, with the outcome only being decided in the final moments. Ultimately, the Cavaliers narrowly defeated the Thunder 129-122, ending their opponents' 15-game winning streak and welcoming an 11-game winning streak at home. This battle has made it clear that these four players are simply too strong. Cavaliers center Allen dominated the paint with powerful dunks and defensive blocks, doing as he pleased inside. He was particularly crucial in key moments, continuously fighting for rebounds, grabbing 8 offensive rebounds on his own while the entire Thunder team only managed 9. His dominance is undeniable, as he went 11 for 9 from the field, 7 for 10 from the free-throw line, scoring 25 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 steals, with a plus-minus of +7. Cavaliers power forward Mobley is tall, tough, and possesses great mobility. In a critical moment, he successfully executed a one-on-one move against Hartenstein, securing the victory. A versatile forward who excels on both offense and defense is highly sought after. He went 13 for 8 from the field, 5 for 7 from the free-throw line, scoring 21 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block, with a plus-minus of +8. Thunder center Hartenstein was the most important acquisition during the Thunder's offseason, addressing their weakness in the paint. Today, facing the Cavaliers' twin towers, he played hard and aggressively. Against the zone defense, his mid-range jump shots posed a dilemma…

Currently, the Shandong Taishan team has reconvened for winter training, but there is still no definitive news about the team's reinforcement, especially in terms of foreign aid. Fans are still looking forward to the team welcoming significant new signings. However, recently, instead of waiting for a major signing, Taishan fans have been drawn to the news that one of the team's foreign players is about to officially transfer and leave. He is none other than the league's golden boot winner, Leonardo. According to media reports, due to Taishan's decision to dispense with Leonardo, Shanghai Port is now planning to buy out his contract for reinforcement. This has undoubtedly raised questions from Taishan fans, who question why the team would let go of such a capable foreign player and instead bring in a player like Pato? In the 2023 season, Leonardo had an outstanding performance at Changchun Yatai, and during the summer window of that season, there was actually hope for his return. However, Taishan ultimately chose Pato, a player under the Korean agent closely associated with Choi Kang-hee. Last season, fans were also eagerly anticipating Leonardo's return, but Taishan did not choose to bring him back. Instead, they introduced Zeeka at a record-breaking price for the Chinese Super League. These moves by Taishan have caused dissatisfaction among fans. Recently, according to reporter Miao Yuan, Taishan's decision not to recall Leonardo was not based on tactical considerations or salary caps, but rather closely related to Choi Kang-hee's personal recruitment strategy. Since Choi Kang-hee took over as coach of Taishan, he has…

Thank you for your support! On January 4th, air currents fluctuated on the Seattle route, causing flight delays. After hours of anxious waiting, Fiket walked out of the airport calmly and took a car to the Staples Center alone. Outside the stadium, several stray dogs were laughing and chasing each other, adding to the warmth and tranquility of the night in Los Angeles. Fiket stood at the entrance of the arena, gazing at the championship banner hanging above the gate for a long time, as if from another world. The waves of the first championship in 07 came surging, and at that moment, James' grand ambition was extinguished by an airball, and he was looked down upon by the Lakers. Sixteen years have passed, and this arena, which once had no connection with him, now carries unparalleled glory. Fiket unconsciously clenched his fists tightly, and this fiery force is driving him to move forward bravely. In the stands, amidst the noise, James stood up expressionlessly and slowly walked towards the player's tunnel. A little boy wearing an Anthony Davis jersey suddenly noticed the hero approaching and widened his eyes, almost speechless with excitement. James nodded slightly and smiled warmly. This heroic image that only exists in fiction is accumulated bit by bit through…

Only 26 Years Old! Scoring 24 Points and 20 Assists! Creating an NBA Legendary Record, Officially Surpassing Irving!‌ Trae Young, a rookie of the same year as Luka Dončić, was selected by the Atlanta Hawks with the fifth overall pick in the first round of the 2018 draft, starting his NBA career. In his first season, he averaged 19.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 8.1 assists, successfully being selected to the NBA All-Rookie First Team! In his second season, his personal statistics soared to an average of 29.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 9.3 assists, officially making him an All-Star. In the following two seasons, he continued to play high-quality games, entering the All-Star team for three consecutive years and leading the team into the playoffs for three consecutive years. However, due to the shortcomings of the Hawks' lineup, they were unable to go further in the playoffs!‌ During this process, Trae Young set multiple NBA records for the youngest player in history. According to statistics, so far, Trae Young's career total score has exceeded 11,000 points, making him the second-youngest player in NBA history! Trae Young only needed 436 games to achieve 11,000 points + 4,000 assists, also making him the second-youngest player in NBA history. Currently in his career, Trae Young has scored at least 30 points and 10 assists in 84 games, ranking fourth in NBA history alongside Westbrook! It is worth noting that he is only 26 years old, and this season is only his seventh!‌ Today! Trae Young played a historic game against the Jazz. The Hawks…

Speaking of Leonard, I believe that NBA fans who like to watch are familiar with him. As a former superstar, Leonard once led the Toronto Raptors to win the first championship in the team's history in 2019. It's a pity that after coming to the Clippers later, he often got injured and played intermittently. After 253 days of hard work to return to the NBA court, he had to leave the team again after playing only a few games. So what exactly is going on? Since last season when he suffered an injury and felt unwell, the Clippers announced that Leonard would be out for the season. It wasn't until recently this season that there was news that he would make a comeback, and this wait lasted 253 days. After his return, Leonard's condition was average, and out of protection, the Clippers only let him play for about 20 minutes. In the first game against the Hawks, he played 19 minutes, shooting 4 out of 11 for 12 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist, helping the team win big with a score of 131:105; in the second game against the Timberwolves, Leonard played 20 minutes, shooting 3 out of 11 for 8 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists, but the team eventually lost 106:108. From these two games, it can be seen that Leonard's state is very average and obviously not as good as his peak period. Especially in the game against the Timberwolves, although he only played for about 20 minutes, his on-court plus-minus value was -17, the lowest…

The battle between Butler and Riley has left the Heat players disinterested in fighting. In a previous game against the Pistons, the team's two core players, Adebayo and Herro, sat on the bench with a look of bewilderment. This is easy to understand; Pat Riley's treatment of the team's veterans made them feel the coldness of losing their lips. Now, Riley, who has been forced to the brink, urgently needs to trade Jimmy Butler as soon as possible. However, Butler's previous remarks have made many teams wary, as spending a lot of money to get a Butler who only plays half a season has deterred many teams. The Heat not being able to maximize their interests is also what Riley finds most frustrating. After the Texas duo withdrew from the competition for Butler, both the Bucks and the Grizzlies expressed interest in trading for Butler. However, Butler's team made it very clear that Jimmy does not want to play for them. For the Bucks and Grizzlies, who want to challenge for the championship, it's not just about getting him; they must get Butler to agree to a contract extension. Otherwise, if he opts out of his contract this summer, these two teams will get nothing. In fact, Butler's desired destination is the Phoenix Suns. The team's owner, Ishbia, and general manager, James Jones, have both stated that they hope Butler can join them. They can also meet Butler's demand for a two-year maximum salary extension. The current difficulty is who the Suns can trade for Butler? Since the team has…

The NBA regular season is full of excitement, and the 2025 San Francisco All-Star voting is in full swing! Over the past 80 days, the league has been fiercely competitive, with stars from different generations showcasing their skills for team records and rankings, as well as All-Star spots! According to the first round of official All-Star voting results released by the NBA, players like Jokic and Alexander from the West, and Antetokounmpo, Tatum, and Towns from the East have almost secured their starting positions with impeccable performances. The arrival of new talent means that many regular starters may have to give up their spots, such as Durant from the Suns, who is finding it difficult to secure a starting position in the Western Conference All-Stars! Curry was once one of the top players in the league, having won 2 championships, 1 FMVP, 2 MVPs, 2 All-Star MVPs, 4 scoring titles, and made 14 All-Star appearances, ranking 7th in NBA history. He also made 12 All-Star starts, ranking 4th in NBA history, behind Jordan (13 times), Kobe (18 times), and James (20 times). In the past four seasons, Durant has been selected to the All-Star starting lineup for four consecutive years, showing his "Death God" aura as he gets older and more stable. However, the problem lies in the fact that while the "Death God" may still be able to wield his scythe, he no longer has the power to lead the troubled Suns to create waves in the league! In the new season, the Suns have started strong but have…
