This back-to-back win resulted in a net victory of 88 points, tying the NBA record for the largest point differential in consecutive games, which is absolutely insane! During the match against the Blazers, the Clippers' performance was nothing short of perfect. Despite Leonard's absence, the team's offense remained unaffected. Players like Harden, Powell, and Zubac stepped up, with Harden scoring 19 points (7 out of 16 attempts), grabbing 2 rebounds, and providing 6 assists. Powell, even more impressively, scored 23 points (7 out of 12 attempts), grabbed 5 rebounds, and provided 3 assists. Zubac also had an outstanding performance with 10 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 blocks. Their on-court chemistry was evident, as they executed quick passing and cutting maneuvers, as well as long-range three-point shots with precision. The Clippers maintained an impressive shooting accuracy of 56%, including a 43% success rate from beyond the arc (10 out of 23 attempts), making it difficult for the Blazers to keep up. The Clippers' teamwork was also on full display during the game. On defense, they rotated quickly and communicated effectively to limit the Blazers' scoring opportunities. On offense, players trusted each other, refrained from hogging the ball, and made smooth transitions to find the best scoring chances. This team spirit allowed the Clippers to maintain control throughout the game, ultimately securing an easy victory. Looking at the Blazers, they faced a tough challenge in this game.…

Last night's CBA regular season game saw Guangdong defeat Fujian 116-92 away from home, delighting Guangdong fans with an impressive display of three-point shooting. The team shot 19 out of 30 three-pointers, achieving a success rate of over 60%. Players like Huang Rongqi, Zhang Wenyi, and Bazley were on fire, contributing to the team's best single-game three-point performance this season. This allowed Xu Jie to rest more, as Fujian could only hold on for three quarters before surrendering, turning the fourth quarter into a training session for Guangdong. Guangdong won the game relatively easily, and after the match, Du Feng was very satisfied with his team's performance. Following the victory over Fujian, Guangdong received three significant pieces of news. First, their ranking has become more stable; currently, they are on an eight-game winning streak, sitting at eighth in the standings. They are just one point behind fourth-placed Qingdao, with a good chance of finishing in the top four by the end of the second stage. Du Feng also expressed his hope that the team can maintain this winning streak until the end of the second stage. The second piece of news is that Xu Jie's injury is not serious. In the previous game against Guangzhou Long Lions, Xu Jie scored a difficult 2+1 layup over Guo Ailun in the fourth quarter but unfortunately sprained his wrist upon landing. Due to the large deficit Guangdong faced in the first half, Xu Jie had to switch to personal attack mode and did not get much rest, playing for 45 minutes and aggravating…

This season's NBA regular season has quietly passed the halfway point, with fierce competition in the West. The top three teams have remained unchanged for over a month, with the Thunder firmly in first place, the Rockets' losses largely unexpected, and the Grizzlies maintaining a win rate of over 60%, with everyone contributing. In addition, the Mavericks have plummeted since Doncic's injury after Christmas, leading the 12th-placed Spurs by only two games. If Doncic returns during the All-Star period, the Mavericks may have to climb from 12th in the West. The Suns and Warriors maintain a 50% win rate, two teams that have fallen from first in the West, both with obvious problems but unable to solve them. For example, the Suns want to trade Beal, but Beal is not willing; after Kuminga's injury, Curry lacks someone to carry the ball, making each game very tough. The Lakers are inconsistent, and it's hard to understand the team's direction, knowing only that Davis is tired at the five position, and LeBron sometimes feels his age. However, among this group, one team has been particularly stable, hovering between 5th and 7th place, which is the Clippers. To be precise, when Harden leads the team alone, he supports the Clippers' lower limit to a win rate exceeding 55%, and Leonard's return seamlessly connects, slowly putting the team on track. A 59-point victory and a 29-point victory! Despite being ruthlessly suppressed by the league, you are really going for the championship this season. Starting with the Clippers' recent two big wins, due to the…

Why is it that in today's CBA news, the excitement of the games seems to be overshadowed by various dramatic events off the court? From star player Zhou Qi's emotional outbursts on the court to referees once again becoming the focus of conflict, from the frequent changes in foreign players to the internal management crisis of Beijing Shougang, a series of issues that appear independent are actually like dominoes, reflecting the growing pains that the CBA cannot avoid in its journey towards professionalization. Is this a problem with the players or the league? It's worth our careful consideration. Zhou Qi has once again become the center of public opinion. In a crucial game for Qingdao Men's Basketball, he was ejected from the game after receiving technical fouls for his dissatisfaction with the referee's decision. This incident quickly sparked heated discussions, and there were even reports that he would likely face an additional suspension. However, this is not the first time Zhou Qi has become the center of controversy due to emotional outbursts. As early as the 2021 playoffs, he was fined for questioning the referee's decision on the court, leading people to jokingly say, "Zhou Qi's performance and temperament are always equally unpredictable." There is no denying that Zhou Qi is undoubtedly a top player in the CBA. At the center position, he has led his team to victory multiple times with his height and basketball IQ, and is even the "pillar" of the national team. However, his emotional management issues are like a scar that keeps recurring. Whether it's…

Ultimately, Guangdong team did not give their opponents any chance, sealing the victory with a commanding 24-point advantage. What were the reasons behind Guangdong team's easy and decisive victory?

Erling Haaland's signing of a 10-year contract with Manchester City has undoubtedly dropped like a bombshell, leaving many fans in shock. Behind this contract lies a complex situation woven from various factors. From a conventional perspective, given Haaland's age and current health status, signing a 10-year contract seems unprofitable. As time passes, in the competitive and unpredictable field of football, as long as he can maintain an efficient scoring rate and stay healthy, his market value is bound to rise continuously. "Time is a double-edged sword, bringing opportunities while also accompanying risks." Just as this saying goes, a 10-year contract is like a gamble. On one hand, it's difficult to predict the dynamics of the football market over these 10 years; salary structures and player valuation standards may undergo significant changes. History is full of examples where top-paid 10-year contracts often see the player's value significantly reduced after a decade, as new talents emerge in the football world, and technological innovations and tactical evolutions affect the players' standing. However, Haaland firmly signed this long-term contract, which had its own well-considered reasons. First, injuries are always the Damocles' sword hanging over athletes. Although this long-term contract somewhat restricts his future choices, it also provides him with security. Even if he is sold by the team at some point in the future, he will still have a salary for the next ten years. It's like building a sturdy lifeboat for himself amidst the tumultuous seas. Furthermore, Haaland is confident in himself; he will be 34 when this contract expires. With his abilities…

In the Western stage of the NBA regular season, a highly anticipated focus match unfolded passionately as the Lakers faced off against the Spurs. At this point, both teams were mired in a losing streak, like travelers groping in the dark, eagerly渴望 a victory to dispel the gloom and return to the path of victory. Moreover, this was not just an ordinary game, but a crucial battle for positioning. In the fiercely competitive Western Conference, where the gap between the two teams' records is minimal, every game is as precious as gold, especially intra-conference battles where the value of a win can be equivalent to two. Therefore, both sides would undoubtedly go all out, fighting to the death. On paper, the Lakers seemed to have a better chance of winning. After all, they boasted superstars LeBron James and Anthony Davis, whose presence was akin to a stabilizing force, giving the Lakers the potential to turn the tide at any time. In comparison, the Spurs' stars seemed slightly less impressive. Therefore, if the Spurs wanted to pull off an upset in this game, their role players had to perform beyond their usual level, carrying the team forward. The starting lineups for the game saw the Lakers fielding Reeves, Christie, Hachimura, James, and Davis; while the Spurs countered with Paul, Castle, Vassell, Barnes, and Wembanyama. At the start of the game, both sides were somewhat tense, initially experiencing a minute of "clanking iron." Subsequently, Anthony Davis broke the scoring drought first, securing an early lead for the Lakers. Reeves followed up with…

On January 18th in the NBA, two shocking news stories emerged off the court. The Clippers have set their sights on Pascal Siakam of the Toronto Raptors, according to local media in Los Angeles. Siakam, standing at 206 cm tall and born in 1993, currently has a contract worth $35.25 million over three years. This season, he averages 10.5 points and 4.5 rebounds per game, with an impressive three-point shooting accuracy of 36.2%. On the court, Siakam's defensive skills are outstanding, with quick lateral movement and top-notch help defense, often causing significant disruptions to opponents' offenses. However, he is not without flaws; his limited post-up offensive moves and older age restrict his potential. To successfully bring in Siakam, the Clippers may have to offer Terance Mann as part of the trade package. This potential trade has sparked widespread speculation and discussion among fans, who are closely watching the Clippers' next moves and the future direction of Mann. Meanwhile, The Daily Mail reports that the Denver Nuggets are in active discussions with Russell Westbrook about a contract extension, with the team keen to keep him in Denver long-term. Since joining the Nuggets, Westbrook's performance has steadily improved, seemingly finding his peak form. Coach Michael Malone appears to have found the right way to use Westbrook, allowing him to fully leverage his strengths on the court. Westbrook and Nikola Jokic have developed a complementary synergy, with their partnership significantly contributing to the team's victories. Currently, the Nuggets hold the fourth spot in the Western Conference, with Westbrook playing a crucial role in…

As the Spring Festival approaches, the second phase of the CBA is also coming to a close. On January 19th, Beijing time, the 32nd round of the CBA regular season concluded with the last three matches. This night saw three major defeats, with Guangdong, Guangsha, and Xinjiang, all top-eight teams, facing relatively weaker opponents. All three teams easily achieved big victories, inflicting crushing defeats on their opponents. Guangsha maintained its undefeated home record, Guangdong secured an eight-game winning streak, and although Xinjiang only had two consecutive wins, their gains were no less than those of Guangsha and Guangdong. This was due to the return of Zhao Rui and Abudu, as well as the successful transformation of Peterson, giving Liu Wei a new backbone and eliminating the fear of being overturned in the fourth quarter. Xinjiang, sitting at home, defeated Guangzhou Longshi by a margin of 19 points, securing their 16th home victory of the season while sending Guangzhou Longshi to a four-game losing streak. In this match, Guo Ailun continued to play, but his offensive touch was still recovering, scoring only 6 points with 8 assists from 11 shots. In contrast, Zhao Rui unleashed his full firepower, hitting 5 three-pointers. It's worth noting that Zhao Rui's main scoring came in the second half, especially in the fourth quarter. Guangzhou could still give Guangdong a hard time in the previous round, but they lost more decisively in this game. Except for the first quarter when they could still pose some trouble to Xinjiang, they couldn't stir up much trouble in the…
