As the NBA regular season continues to progress on January 5, 2025, the changes in the Western Conference standings have become increasingly noteworthy. The Nuggets managed to reverse the Spurs with a score of 122-111 in overtime, while the Warriors defeated the Grizzlies 121-113 at home. These two games not only brought intense competition to the fans but also caused dramatic changes in the Western Conference landscape. The game between the Nuggets and the Spurs was destined to be a tough battle. Despite the Nuggets' upset in the previous match, where Jokic failed to lead the team to a comeback in the final moments, today's game saw the Nuggets quickly adjust their state, especially with Jokic's heroic performance. In the first quarter, Jokic quickly entered the game, scoring 14 points in a single quarter to lead the Nuggets to keep up with the score. Although the Spurs suddenly increased their efforts in the third quarter, with Wenyamama leading the team to a 37-27 single-quarter result, instantly widening the point difference to double digits, the Nuggets did not give up easily. In the fourth quarter, the Nuggets relied on a 12-4 offensive climax to reduce the score to just 3 points, entering a white-hot stage of the game. At a critical moment, Porter hit an important three-pointer, helping the Nuggets tie the score at 104-104. The subsequent game was full of suspense, with Watson making one of two free throws to help the Nuggets level the score. Although Jokic's last-second shot missed, the game went into overtime. In overtime, the Nuggets…

NBA regular season, the Rockets defeated the Lakers 119-115 at home. In this game, the Rockets completely played well in the first half, crushing the Lakers to maintain the lead. Although there was a slack in the third quarter, they were still able to stabilize their advantage in the final quarter and eventually narrowly win against the Lakers. Two players had perfect scores throughout the game. Green scored 33 points with 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and he scored double digits in both the first and third quarters. In the final moments, Green could continuously make key shots, which helped the Rockets stabilize the point difference. His performance is commendable, and it's estimated that he would convince countless people. Amen was also a major focus, scoring a season-high 23 points and a career-high 16 rebounds, completely playing like an interior player. He also caused James to commit an offensive foul in the final moments, which is also commendable. VanVleet, Whitmore, Adams, Holiday, and Tate all had passing performances. VanVleet didn't have many highlights throughout the game, but he made a crucial steal in the final moments, scoring 15 points with 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block from 5 out of 11 attempts, which is still acceptable. Adams was still a major focus, although he was just a substitute, he had 7 offensive rebounds in 16 minutes and caused multiple rebound fouls on his opponents. The help this veteran provided to the interior was too terrifying. Whitmore's performance in this game was also quite good, as he once…

On January 6th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued. In today's Western Conference matchup, the Lakers lost 115-119 to the Rockets on the road, ending their two-game winning streak with a record of 20 wins and 15 losses. Facing the young Rockets, the Lakers started very poorly. The Lakers scored 22 points in the first quarter but allowed the Rockets to score as many as 36 points on defense. In the second quarter, the Lakers still had few options and were pulled away by the Rockets to a lead of up to 22 points. In the third quarter, James exploded with four three-pointers in a single quarter, once helping the Lakers close the gap to just two points. However, due to being pulled away again by the Rockets at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers ultimately missed out on a 22-point comeback. For the Lakers, it was a great pity that they failed to complete a 22-point comeback today. In the final moments of the game, the Lakers were not without chances to win. With 38 seconds left in the game, the Lakers were only down by 4 points, but James was called for a foul after pushing down Armoni Brooks on offense, missing a good opportunity to catch up. After the Rockets missed a shot, James made a layup to reduce the deficit to 2 points. The Rockets' Zhou Qi made one of two free throws, giving the Lakers a chance, but the Lakers' sideline ball was intercepted by the Rockets. Christie passed to James, who…

Another Loss! Netizens Call for Trading Edwards! Timberwolves Become the Biggest Joke in NBA Scoring an astonishing 53 points yet still losing by 14 is a rare occurrence. The Timberwolves lost 105-119 to the Pistons. In this game, Hua Zi shot 16 out of 31, including hitting 10 three-pointers to score 53 points, both career highs. The rest of his teammates combined for 18 out of 49 shots, scoring a total of 52 points... This is what it means to be a lone tree unable to hold up the sky; just look at Hua Zi today. Everyone then looks back at the trade before the start of this season, where the Timberwolves suddenly used Towns to swap with the Knicks for Randle, DiVincenzo, and a first-round pick, and they can't help but laugh. The Timberwolves only made it to the Western Conference Finals last season, but they immediately dismantled their core lineup. So far this season, they are ranked 10th in the West with a record of 17 wins and 17 losses. Despite having no choice, it's still hard to understand. Due to failed trades, the Timberwolves have fallen into difficulties this season. Now many people are calling on Hua Zi to follow in the footsteps of his brother Butler, proactively apply for a trade, and leave the cold Minnesota to bring his talent elsewhere to start a new chapter in his career. Speaking of the Heat, their internal chaos recently led to a big loss of 100-136 against the Jazz, who are at the bottom of the West. Sometimes,…

Translation of the article content: When it comes to the NBA's all-time greatest lineup, most fans would probably answer with the "Magic, God, Emperor, Buddha, Shark" combination. However, this is ultimately a subjective topic, and everyone has their own understanding of the strongest lineup, as the saying goes, "A thousand people have a thousand Hamlets." As one of the greatest coaches in history, Popovich has also shared his own list of the all-time greatest lineup. So, let's take a look at who made Popovich's list. Point Guard: Magic Johnson Magic Johnson is widely recognized as the greatest point guard in history, known for his excellent basketball IQ and organizational skills. He led the Lakers to five championships in the 1980s, was named FMVP three times, and created the glorious SHOWTIME era. Shooting Guard: Michael Jordan Jordan's abilities need no further elaboration; two three-peats, six FMVPs, five MVPs, ten scoring titles—these honors alone are enough to prove why he is called the "Basketball God." Small Forward: Kobe Bryant Despite Kobe's multiple playoff victories over the Spurs, Popovich's appreciation and recognition for Kobe is always evident, even publicly stating that aside from Duncan, the player he most wanted to coach was Kobe. Kobe's abilities are undeniable; he led the Lakers to five championships, was named FMVP twice, MVP once, and set records such as 81 points in a single game, 62 points in three quarters, and four consecutive games with 50+ points. Power Forward: Hakeem Olajuwon As the leader of the four centers in the 1990s, Olajuwon is known for his incredibly…

It's worth noting that in terms of career games within the 10-30 point range, James is also the first in history.

He is full of positive energy on and off the court, but he was betrayed by his wife and had to divorce. He is Damian Lillard, who is constantly moving forward in the face of doubts and breaking them. Born on July 15, 1990, in Oakland, California, one of the cities with the highest crime rates in the United States, Lillard grew up in a place filled with drugs, guns, and crimes. However, compared to most NBA players, he was relatively lucky. He was born into a happy and complete family, always accompanied by his parents. Under their strict education, Lillard never got involved in bad habits. When Lillard wanted to play basketball, his parents fully supported him, even spending money to send him to basketball training classes. But most of the time in life, you can't have both fish and bear paws. Some NBA players have excellent physical talents, but they didn't have good conditions to practice when they were young. Lillard had…
