So far this season, the Rockets have achieved a record of 28 wins and 13 losses, ranking second in the West, while the Pistons have 21 wins and 21 losses, ranking ninth in the East.

Jalen Duren dominated the paint, and the momentum of Jalen Green was disrupted by consecutive turnovers, allowing the Pistons to go on a 14:0 run, trailing 29:40 by 11 points at the end of the first quarter.

Last night, the CBA regular season saw six intense matches, with the results causing a significant shake-up in the rankings. Guangsha narrowly defeated Beijing, Fujian lost to Jilin, Shanxi overcame Guangzhou, Shanghai triumphed over Sichuan, Guangdong easily won against Nanjing, and Xinjiang beat Qingdao. As a result, the league standings experienced a major upheaval overnight. Guangsha, the league leader, maintained its top position, while Guangdong rose to fifth and Xinjiang to sixth. Liaoning, on the other hand, was overtaken by both teams and fell to seventh. Currently, there is a tight competition among six teams for the top four spots, as they all have the same number of points. In the match between Guangsha and Beijing, Guangsha established an early lead and held on to it despite Beijing's attempts to rally. The final score was 94-91 in favor of Guangsha, securing their tenth consecutive victory and solidifying their lead in the standings. Beijing, however, suffered their third consecutive loss and dropped to ninth place. Xinjiang hosted Qingdao in a game that had developed a rivalry-like intensity throughout the season. Xinjiang took control from the start and maintained their lead throughout the game, eventually winning 103-83 and completing a double victory over Qingdao for the season. This win moved Xinjiang up to sixth place in the league, surpassing Liaoning, while Qingdao remained in eighth. Guangdong faced Nanjing in a match that was not as competitive as expected.

In the CBA arena, four matches unfolded like a series of roller coasters, thrilling and intense, even somewhat "ridiculous." Especially the match between Zhejiang and Ningbo, where Zhejiang narrowly defeated Ningbo by 5 points, almost causing everyone's hearts to stop beating. Adding to this, Shandong overcame many strong opponents and made an unexpected rise to second place in the standings. The reversal battle between Beikong and Xinjiang was also thrown into turmoil by controversial refereeing decisions. This series of "crazy events" left fans unsure whether to cheer or shake their heads. First, let's talk about Zhejiang team, which was a game that made people hold their breath. They started off with great momentum but made frequent mistakes, and their three-point shooting accuracy was worse than a blind cat hitting a dead rat. Honestly, 18 turnovers, such a number could keep any coach awake at night. Moreover, their three-point shooting accuracy was heart-wrenchingly low, with only 5 out of 21 shots made, a hit rate of 23.8%! This three-point shooting accuracy is as dry as the desert in Africa. One has to ask, if not for some lucky breaks, how could Zhejiang continue playing based on this performance? Especially the performance of the local players was at its lowest point. Wu Qian, the core of Zhejiang team, played somewhat "sleepwalking," scoring only 8 points throughout the game. He used to score over 30 points per game, but now it feels like he's just a shadow. Cheng Shaipeng also only scored 5 points, a scene akin to an awkward family gathering where…

The situation in the West has once again experienced a dramatic fluctuation. Both the Lakers and the Warriors have shown great resilience, especially in critical moments, where veterans LeBron James and Stephen Curry have once again become the saviors of their teams. On the other hand, the Clippers suffered a painful defeat, which directly dropped their ranking to eighth in the West. The situation in the West is simply chaotic! Let me take you through these matches and see what surprises and reversals these teams can bring us. First, let's talk about the game between the Lakers and the Kings. In fact, at the beginning of the game, the Lakers didn't have many highlights. After all, their performance in the first half was not eye-catching, with only a slight three-point lead, making it seem like this game would keep people on the edge of their seats until the last moment. On the Lakers' side, although James is getting older, he is still firing on all cylinders. With 32 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals, he is truly a versatile warrior who can attack and defend, shouldering the heavy responsibility of the team. The climax of this game is still on Anthony Davis, also known as "The Brow." When it comes to The Brow, everyone should know that this player excels in both offense and defense. However, today he also contributed some surprising moments. In the final moments of the game, Davis missed twice at the free-throw line, almost costing the Lakers the game! Just imagine, leading by 3…

Kawhi Leonard, a name familiar to many basketball fans, is one of the NBA's top stars. In recent seasons, Leonard has been the subject of much controversy due to injuries that kept him out of playoff games, leading to frustration among fans. However, he has recently made a comeback, scoring 23 points against the Brooklyn Nets and 19 points against the Los Angeles Lakers, demonstrating his efficiency on the court. Despite his long absence from games, Leonard's fighting power has not diminished, and he remains an indispensable member of the Clippers. This season, during Leonard's absence, James Harden took on the responsibility of leading the team, helping the Clippers achieve good results. Since Leonard's return, the team has been developing in a better direction, securing four consecutive victories after defeating the Lakers and ranking fifth in the Western Conference. It is well-known that previously, due to injuries, Leonard withdrew from the US men's basketball team and missed the Olympics. At the start of the new season, there were even rumors that he would be out for the entire season. His injury troubles were indeed severe, but he has only recently returned, playing five games with an average contribution of 13.6 points and gradually regaining his form. However, after beating the Lakers, Leonard announced an unexpected decision. Leonard officially announced his withdrawal from the game against the Chicago Bulls. According to the schedule, after today's game, the Clippers will face the Bulls in a back-to-back match tomorrow. As Leonard has just returned and needs time to adjust, he decided to withdraw.…

Shandong Men's Basketball Team has achieved the second place in the entire league this season, and they really need to thank Guangzhou Men's Basketball Team for their clearance sale during the offseason last year. At that time, Guangzhou sent away many of their core players, and Guo Kai joined Shandong Men's Basketball Team. It was originally thought that under the circumstances where Tao Hanlin, an experienced inside player, was present in the team, Guo Kai might not get too many opportunities. However, under the guidance of Qiu Biao, Guo Kai has now replaced Tao Hanlin and become the number one domestic inside player in Shandong. In the recent game where Shandong defeated Jiangsu 102-86, Guo Kai started and played for 33 minutes, shooting 4 out of 6 for a total of 13 points, 10 rebounds, 1 steal, and 2 blocks, with a +24 plus-minus value tied for first on the team with Moore. In the absence of Chris, his partnership with Kumajie in the frontcourt also helped Shandong successfully defend their home court. Although Guo Kai is only 2.05 meters tall, his efforts in rebounding and his positive attitude in defense over the past few years under the tutelage of Guo Shiqiang have indeed won unanimous recognition from fans. This season, he averages 7.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1.2 steals per game in 27.8 minutes of playing time, with a shooting percentage of 56.9%, which is even better than Tao Hanlin (who averages only 6.3 points and 3.8 rebounds this season). During the offseason last year, Shandong Men's…
