The Christmas Day game has concluded with the Nuggets losing to the Suns by a score of 100-110. The match was filled with ups and downs; the first quarter had a close score, the second quarter remained competitive, the Suns took control in the third quarter, and although the Nuggets played well in the early part of the fourth quarter, they made frequent mistakes and their shooting accuracy dropped significantly, ultimately leading to their defeat. In terms of statistics, Jokic scored 25 points, grabbed 15 rebounds, dished out 2 assists, and made 2 steals, while Westbrook put up an impressive stat line of 17 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, and 4 turnovers. Porter contributed 22 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 turnovers, and Murray added 13 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists with 4 turnovers. In fact, the two teams have faced each other before, with the Suns losing by a significant margin of 27 points. However, in this game, it was unexpected that the Nuggets were unable to come out on top. Looking at the entire game, the Nuggets lost primarily due to four reasons. Firstly, they had a high number of turnovers, with a total of 16, mainly in the latter half of the fourth quarter, which led to their downfall. Secondly, the Nuggets' outside shooting was severely off, with only 8 successful shots out of 29 attempts. Thirdly, the Suns clearly had experience dealing with Jokic and focused on cutting off his connection with his teammates. Despite Jokic's ability to score high points, he was unable to effectively…

In the first game of the second stage of the CBA regular season, Guangdong team lost to Guangsha team as expected with a score of 92-103. It was originally a strong dialogue, and last season in the playoffs quarter-finals, Guangdong eliminated Guangsha with a score of three to one. So why did it become an expectation? The reason is very simple. Because the foreign aid policy has changed this season, with four quarters and seven rotations, the proportion of foreign aid for the team's victory is greater. However, Guangdong team has so far been very unsuccessful in choosing foreign aid this season, with poor vision. The team's performance has been greatly affected, with a temporary record of six wins and five losses, ranking outside the top eight. The results of the first stage announced the failure of Barton's trial, Bazley performed moderately, with low cost-effectiveness, and both were cut. The team then signed with Arms, who received high praise from the outside before his debut, with some even calling him a combination of Marshon Brooks and Willis. However, after the club cup match, he was stunned, averaging only 14.3 points, 2 rebounds, and 4 assists in four games, lacking ball-handling offensive ability, unstable shooting, and poor defense, disappointing fans. Du Feng talked about Arms needing time to adapt to the league in an earlier interview, but when facing Guangsha in the official match, he made only 1 out of 7 shots, scoring only 2 points, 1 rebound, and 2 assists, and did not get playing time in the fourth quarter,…

While Li Qiuping has stepped back, he still offers pointers on the court, which led to the team losing their first game of the stage. New coach Lu Wei had strong opinions about this and later decided not to listen to Li Qiuping's advice, subsequently unleashing a streak of 9…

Here it comes! Lakers' 3 first-round trades are here! Snatching from the Warriors, Thunder, and Nuggets!? Heavy news! Here it comes! Here it comes! Here it comes! They really came! The Lakers' interested team strides towards us with a strong pace, proudly and confidently! They are full of sincerity, with a majestic demeanor and money in their pockets!! Money! Money! Money! Important things need to be repeated three times! NBA insider reporter Xiao S talked about the Lakers' potential trade situation on a show. "My sources within the Lakers' management told me that they are willing to put out those (three first-round draft picks) in potential trades, but they hope to get one or more players they believe can immediately integrate into the current team, and continue to play under Coach Redick's guidance for the next 3-5 years." Yes, those three first-round picks that were cherished like treasures, the Lakers have finally decided to put them up for trade. In the past, many teams coveted the Lakers' three first-round picks, only to be rejected by the Lakers without mercy. Those three first-round picks were the last hope of the Lakers' village, the final bottom line, as valuable as LeBron James and Anthony Davis, and no one could sway them. However, two consecutive years of No. 17 draft picks made the Lakers realize the reality. One Xi Fei was not even as good as the crown prince and was directly sent to the cold palace, while one Ke Zong only looked beautiful, and the most pleasant surprise was the undrafted rookie…

In the world of football, there is a classic saying that roughly translates to: "Arsenal never fails to disappoint when it comes to underperforming!" This description seems particularly apt for Arsenal this season, as they seem to have started dropping the ball even earlier, since they never really got their act together! Under Arteta's guidance this season, Arsenal has been lukewarm and lacking in passion. After 17 league rounds, they have achieved a record of 9 wins, 6 draws, and 2 losses, accumulating 33 points and temporarily ranking 4th. They have already fallen 9 points behind the league leaders, Liverpool. It appears that Arsenal will once again aim for a top-four finish this season, despite the fact that Guardiola's Manchester City has faltered and Chelsea has risen impressively. At this juncture, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta made a surprising statement, claiming that their squad is one of the weakest in the Premier League this season! Such words are truly shocking! Is this the Spanish manager trying to excuse the poor results, or is it just his level of rhetoric? It's too... too corporate! Looking at Arsenal's current lineup, each position boasts either the best or close to the best two-player configuration in the entire Premier League. How can he say it's thin? The defense has a surplus of players, with the likes of Zinchenko, worth 30 million euros, and Kjell, worth over 20 million euros, unable to even secure a substitute spot. Sterling, earning 100,000 pounds a week, is only fit for rotation in the League Cup. Moreover, Arsenal's total wage…

After a 2-0 victory over Manchester United, Wolves' new coach Victor Pereira could not contain his joy: In front of 31,407 home spectators, Pereira threw three punches and then roared in celebration with raised arms. Less than 50 meters away in the stands, Wolves fans waved flags and chanted Pereira's name. Such a scene is invigorating. It reminds you of former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, who was equally passionate and fiery. For Wolves, the past four days have been like a long-awaited rain, refreshing and exhilarating. On December 22nd, in the 17th round of the Premier League, Pereira made his debut as Wolves' coach with a clean 3-0 win over Leicester City. After four consecutive defeats in the Premier League, Wolves stopped their slump with one victory. On December 26th, in the 18th round of the Premier League, facing compatriot Amorim's Manchester United, Pereira's 3-4-2-1 formation proved more efficient and cohesive. Cunha scored one goal and provided one assist, while Hwang Hee-chan sealed the deal with a late goal, securing another 2-0 victory and three points. In just four short days, with a 3-0 and a 2-0 victory, Wolves staged an "escape from death." Under Gary O'Neil's coaching, Wolves had two wins, three draws, and eleven losses in 16 matches, accumulating only nine points and ranking second to last, five points behind 17th-placed Leicester City. After two consecutive victories, Wolves surpassed Ipswich and Leicester City, rising to 17th place and escaping the relegation zone. It's still too early to say that Wolves are safe from relegation. However, Pereira's impact on…

Introduction: In the past two years, Shanghai Shenhua has always been under the spotlight of fans' attention. Any news about new signings has caused a stir among the fans, with opinions ranging from support to opposition. Rumors about players leaving the team are also rampant, making it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and we have to wait for an official announcement. With New Year's Day approaching, there has been no news about domestic signings.

We need to find a midfield general capable of changing the course of the game from the cracks. What kind of lineup will Shenhua present in the new season? Fans are anxiously waiting to see if Shenhua can play a winning hand in this limited situation or fall into mediocrity. Everything is uncertain, and only time will reveal the answer. Shanghai Shenhua has been a major focus for fans in recent years, especially when it comes to their signings each season, which always attract a lot of attention. For instance, when the Shenhua team reporter revealed that Minero would replace Marele, it immediately sparked discussions among many fans. There are supporters and opponents among the fans, after all, it's not the fans who are spending money, so they naturally prefer the club to hire more expensive players since they will be paying for tickets to watch the games. At the same time, rumors about Shenhua players leaving are everywhere, from Xie Pengfei to Ma Zhen, and…

As an annual highlight in the NBA, the Christmas Day games feature either championship contenders or teams with high fan appeal, ensuring that participating teams receive significant exposure. Players strive to perform at their best in these globally televised events, as such opportunities are rare, with many never experiencing it throughout their careers. Given the intense focus on both ends of the court during Christmas Day games, achieving impressive statistics becomes more challenging. Throughout history, only ten players have managed to record a triple-double in a single Christmas Day game, with six of them currently active in the league. Let's take a look at these six active players who have accomplished this feat. Austin Reaves (2024) In a game against the Warriors, Reaves scored 26 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, and dished out 10 assists. Since being given a chance by the Lakers as an undrafted player, Reaves has consistently improved, exceeding expectations. In the 2023 playoffs, he averaged 16+4+4 and even 20+ in the Western Conference Finals, solidifying his trust within the team. Despite occasional fluctuations in form over the past two seasons, the Lakers have remained committed to his development, even considering him untouchable at times. This season, Reaves is averaging 17.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 1.1 steals, demonstrating his progress while handling a significant workload. In the Christmas Day game against the Warriors, he proved himself a clutch player by scoring 26 points, grabbing 10 rebounds, and dishing out 10 assists, including a crucial layup to nearly seal the game, becoming the tenth player in history…

At 2 PM in the afternoon, the Liaoning Basketball Team lands in Shenyang! Yang Ming is confident, the club praises the best sixth man, and two players are unharmed! At 2 PM on December 27th, Beijing time, the Liaoning Basketball Team, having completed two consecutive away games with two victories, finally returned home to Shenyang. Head coach Yang Ming, seeing the fans welcoming him at the airport, frequently gave them a thumbs up, planting the image of a warm man in people's hearts, which is also an expression of confidence. Because the next three opponents for Liaoning are tough challenges; we lost to Xinjiang away, the story of last season's semi-final against old rivals Guangdong Hongyuan is still vivid in our minds, and we lost to Beijing Shougang at home, meaning that playing away will be even more challenging. However, we can trust Yang Ming and believe that the Liaoning players will rise to the challenge, turning pressure into motivation to strive for the best results. The Liaoning Basketball Club also specially posted an article to praise the "Lei Feng Army" fan organization in the south, calling them the best sixth man for Liaoning, saying that the victory over Guangzhou was the best gift for them. This is another beautiful story of a two-way relationship between the club and the fans. Fans who watched the game between Liaoning and Guangzhou know that the number of "Lei Feng Army" fans supporting Liaoning at the scene was quite large, and their cheers completely drowned out those supporting other individuals and teams. We…
