Recently, rumors about the potential trade of the Kings' backcourt core, De'Aaron Fox, have been rampant. This is mainly due to the team's poor performance this season. The Kings made a big trade in the offseason to acquire DeMar DeRozan, hoping to make further progress, but they failed to live up to expectations. They suffered consecutive defeats and their locker room was in chaos. Ultimately, head coach Mike Brown was fired, and the team fell into another low point. Fox also put pressure on the team through his agent, hinting that he might consider leaving. As a quasi-All-Star level player, Fox is still very popular. Reports suggest that if Fox wants to leave, teams like the Rockets and Spurs will pursue him vigorously. The Rockets, in particular, seem to be particularly interested in Fox, as they are in need of a star player who can perform in clutch situations. Therefore, they are expected to be one of the top contenders for Fox. American media has also confirmed this news, stating that the Rockets will lead the race for Fox. In recent days, an article by Eric Pincus, a salary expert at Bleacher Report, pointed out that NBA rumors indicate that Fox may push for a trade before the February 6 trade deadline, and the Kings may consider all options. One team stands out as their most likely trading partner: the Rockets. The journalist also provided a very informative trade proposal: Kings receive: Reed Sheppard, Cameron Whitmore, Jeff Green, Jaxson Hayes, Jock Landale, 2027 first-round swap rights, 2028 first-round pick, 2030…

The NBA's new season has been underway for more than two months. Which team's performance has disappointed us the most? In the Eastern Conference, it was the Bucks and the 76ers at the beginning of the season. At that time, both teams were struggling to win a game and ranked at the bottom of the East. However, as the season progressed, they found their rhythm and started winning games. The Bucks even won the NBA Cup championship and have now climbed to fifth in the East. The 76ers, although their record is not as good, ranking 11th, they have recently been winning more than losing. Embiid, Maxi, and George are gradually developing chemistry, and it can be imagined that the 76ers' ranking will rise in time. In the Western Conference, it's the Suns, Kings, and Pelicans. The Kings are a strange team. During the offseason, they assembled a trio of Fox, DeRozan, and Sabonis, with Monk coming off the bench. No matter how you look at it, they should be a championship-level team. However, their current record is a mess, worse than last season. They were even swept by the Lakers. According to the latest reports, the Kings are willing to trade Fox, which suggests they are preparing to rebuild the team. The Pelicans are even worse to look at, with a record of 5 wins and 29 losses, ranking dead last in the league. Last season, they made it to the playoffs. The Pelicans are basically on the verge of disbanding. Now, Ingram and Zion are both on the…

On January 4th, Beijing time, the Lakers played against the Hawks at home. The game ended with the Lakers successfully defeating the Hawks 119-102. It was not easy for the Lakers to win this game, as there were a large number of turnovers in the game. The Lakers had 18 turnovers in total, but this time the Hawks only scored 14 points from turnovers. Therefore, the Lakers did not lose too many points in this regard. Moreover, in this game, the Hawks' three-point shooting was poor (6 out of 34), so the Hawks had an extremely difficult game. After the Lakers won the game, they rose to fourth place in the Western Conference, while the Hawks dropped to seventh place in the Eastern Conference after losing. In this game, we can also see that the Lakers have made significant progress. This season, the Lakers' defense has been poor at times, but now they have defensive continuity. So when the Lakers' offense is not going well, they can stabilize the situation on the court through defense. At the same time, the Lakers often suffered in rebounds during this season, but in this game, the Lakers had a significant advantage in rebounds, grabbing 56 rebounds in total, while the Hawks only grabbed 39 rebounds. The Lakers also grabbed 17 offensive rebounds in the game, giving them more offensive opportunities. Although some people felt sorry for the Lakers sending Russell away, it seems that the Lakers made the right choice from now on. After all, Russell's defensive flaws are too obvious, and Smith's…

The Thunder have won again, defeating the Knicks 117-107 in a remarkable comeback, securing their 14th consecutive victory and solidifying their position as the undisputed first in the Western Conference. Despite trailing by 14 points at one point, the Thunder managed to turn the game around, demonstrating the qualities of a true powerhouse team. This 14-game winning streak has set a new franchise record for the Thunder, surpassing the previous record of 13 consecutive wins held by their predecessor, the SuperSonics. The Thunder are truly championship contenders, possessing all the necessary components for a title run. Their core player, Alexander, is capable of leading the charge and is currently the second favorite for the MVP award, only behind Jokic. Their frontline is bolstered by Holmgren and Hatton, while the wing positions are occupied by Jay, along with Caruso and Dort. Once Holmgren recovers from his injury, the Thunder will be unstoppable. Against the Knicks, the Thunder effectively showcased two key strengths. The first is their ability to deliver decisive blows, thanks to the supergiant Alexander. Hatton's dominance in the paint also left the Knicks in awe. They really didn't want to let Hatton go, but they had no choice. Hatton's relentless rebounding and his playmaking abilities make him akin to a blue-collar version of Jokic. The game was indeed thrilling, with both teams locked in a stalemate in the first quarter. The Knicks' starting lineup, featuring Brunson, Bridges, Hart, Anunoby, and Towns, were in full swing, with Thibodeau heavily relying on these five players, maintaining an eight-man rotation. The Thunder,…

Although the Golden State Warriors traded for Schroder, his shooting form has been inconsistent since joining the team, resulting in fluctuating team performance, making it difficult to say that the Warriors have made an absolute profit. Recently, the Warriors lost to the Cavaliers and Clippers, and Curry wanted to lead the team out of their slump against the Philadelphia 76ers' trio lineup featuring Embiid, Paul George, and Maxi. In the game between the Warriors and the 76ers, Curry and Schroder started off playing exceptionally well, continuously sinking three-pointers to help the Warriors take the lead. Although Embiid and Maxi were scoring both inside and outside, the 76ers remained behind. Kuminga, Wiggins, and Curry continued to explode, with the Warriors leading by 16 points at halftime. In the second half, the 76ers relied on Embiid and Paul George to score points, but the other players were unable to contribute. The Warriors, on the other hand, had a collective outbreak, with multiple players contributing, even Draymond Green scored consecutively. The Warriors entered the final quarter with a 25-point lead, and Curry hit two more three-pointers, causing the 76ers to concede defeat. Both teams then used substitutes for training, and the Warriors eventually won by a large margin of 34 points. Embiid shot 8 for 19, scoring 27 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 2 blocks, with a negative plus/minus value of -25. Paul George shot 7 for 12, scoring 19 points, 2 rebounds, and 1 assist, with a negative plus/minus value of -26, the lowest in the game. Maxi shot…

NBA regular season focus match, Lakers vs. Hawks! The Lakers are playing back-to-back games, with Davis returning and James and Eyebrow joining forces to lead the team, determined to defend their home court and continue their winning streak. The Lakers are in good form now, with their star players performing well, so there should be no problem winning if they play normally. The Hawks are seventh in the East, with a record similar to the Lakers. If the team wants to beat the Lakers, the performance of the perimeter is key, as it will be difficult to limit the opponent defensively, and they can only rely on offense. Starting lineup: Lakers: Reeves, Christie, Hachimura, James, Davis; Hawks: Trae Young, Daniels, Jaylen Johnson, Lissach, Capela. Trae Young started with an iron shot, Davis shot and grabbed himself, Reeves counterattacked fast, Trae Young free throw, Lissach ate the cake, Daniels stole and scored a one-dragon, the Hawks made a 6-0 comeback.

Throughout the long history of the NBA, there have been many players who have played until they are 40 years old, but those who can maintain a high level of competitive form and still serve as core players are rare. Players like Carter and Nowitzki at this age have already moved to the second line, playing the role of mentor to young players. However, among these veterans, the most outstanding performer is undoubtedly "Forty-Year-Old Man" James. This season so far, the 40-year-old James has averaged a comprehensive set of data with 23.9 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 8.9 assists per game, with a shooting percentage as high as 50.2% and a three-point percentage of 38.2%. At the same time, James has recorded 8 triple-doubles this season, second only to Jokic's 13. It must be admitted that even in his 22nd season, James is still one of the best players in the league. Although his athletic ability cannot match his younger days, he can still influence the game with his experience and skills. Such an all-round performance is something even Jordan at the same age could not achieve. In the recent Lakers' home victory over the Trail Blazers, James once again proved that his "fuel tank" still has plenty of reserves. In this game, James made 15 of 25 shots, including 7 of 10 from three-point range, scoring a luxurious 38 points, 3 rebounds, and 8 assists, leading the team to victory in the absence of Davis. After this game, James broke several records, let's take a look together. After scoring 30…

On January 4th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continues to burn with passion, bringing us a match between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Atlanta Hawks. The Lakers, as a team that has won 17 championships, have introduced several new players this season, aiming to break out of the Western Conference. Prior to the game, they ranked 6th in the West with a record of 19 wins and 14 losses, narrowly defeating the Trail Blazers at home in their last game without Anthony Davis. The Hawks, as an emerging force, have had ups and downs this season. They were 7th in the East with an 18-16 record before the game, suffering a 19-point defeat to the Nuggets in their last away game, desperately needing a victory to boost morale. This is a clash between powerhouses from the East and West, with the Lakers led by LeBron James and Anthony Davis, and the Hawks by Trae Young and Dejounte Murray. Who will emerge victorious? Let's wait and see. In the end, after four quarters of intense competition, the Lakers defeated the Hawks 119-102 at home. Player ratings: two perfect scores, six passing grades, and two struggling! As a team with a rich heritage, the Lakers' performance this season has seen both highs and lows, which is closely related to the aging of star players like LeBron James and other starters. To achieve their seasonal goals, the team brought in new players like Milton and Finney-Smith, but their recent performances have not been satisfactory, falling short of expectations. On one hand,…

The Lakers defeated the Hawks 119-102 and have now climbed to fourth place in the Western Conference. LeBron James scored over 30 points more times than Michael Jordan, making him the first in history. In the game, he played for 30 minutes, made 13 out of 20 shots, including 2 out of 5 three-pointers, scoring 30 points, 3 rebounds, and 8 assists. After the game, James finally regained his confidence, saying that he still has fuel in the tank and will continue playing without mentioning retirement again. Interestingly, at the beginning of this year when the Lakers were facing difficulties, James had talked about retiring. At that time, James was extremely exhausted because he felt responsible for his words. He had put himself in a difficult situation by saying that he would play all 82 regular-season games, including back-to-back matches. As a result of this statement, even when tired, James felt embarrassed to take a break. Eventually, he became cautious and was later criticized by J.J. Redick. In an interview, Redick directly stated that it wasn't good news for the Lakers if James played all 82 games. Redick also believed that an exhausted James could not help his teammates on the court. Ultimately, James was forced to rest by the Lakers, and after one game where Davis led the team to victory, James was still somewhat dissatisfied, saying that he wanted to play but the Lakers did not allow it. Looking back now, Redick's criticism seems to have been effective. Since Christmas, after resting, James' physical energy has recovered, averaging…

NBA regular season is in full swing, with 30 teams making a strong push, and the league's landscape is beginning to take shape. The competition for various regular-season awards has also entered a white-hot stage. So far, Giannis Antetokounmpo leads the scoring chart with a slight advantage over Towns, who leads the rebounding chart by a narrow margin over Sabonis. Trae Young has a commanding lead in assists, while Daniels leads the steals chart with an absolute advantage, and Wembanyama leads the blocks chart by a wide margin! At the same time, the race for the regular-season MVP is quietly undergoing subtle changes. In the first two months of the new season, many superstar players have taken the lead in the MVP race with their stable and efficient performances. The most popular among them is Jokic, a three-time MVP winner! Since winning the championship, the Nuggets have been cutting down their roster, but Jokic always finds ways to keep the team competitive! In the new season, Jokic played 30 games for the Nuggets, averaging 31 points (third in the league) + 13.2 rebounds (third in the league) + 9.7 assists (second in the league) + 1.7 steals + 2.3 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of 55.3% and a three-point shooting percentage of 47.9% (first in the league). The Nuggets are currently ranked fifth in the West with a record of 19 wins and 14 losses, just half a game behind the fourth-placed Lakers (20 wins and 14 losses). It can be said without exaggeration that as long as the Nuggets…
