Born on September 19, 1991, in Canton, Ohio, USA, McCollum's older brother Eric McCollum is three years older than him. Since he can remember, his brother has been playing basketball and often plays with small basketballs, making him fall in love with this sport. It is worth mentioning that his brother later became a professional player and once scored 82 points in a single game in the CBA, still holding the record for the highest single-game score in CBA history. When he was young, McCollum developed slowly and was often beaten by his taller and stronger brother, which made him determined to polish his basic skills. When he defeated his brother with skillful dribbling and stable shooting, he also became the core member of the school team with his solid skills. The only thing that bothered him was that he grew too slowly, and he was the shortest player on the school team…

China's men's basketball team is currently in full swing! As one of the league's giants, Zhejiang Chouzhou Financial Leasing Men's Basketball Team has recently suffered consecutive defeats, which has hindered the team's momentum. Especially the home defeat against Shenzhen Marco Polo Men's Basketball Team, which is ranked lower, has also drawn a lot of criticism. There is no way because many of the team's main players have recently been injured. Especially the absence of captain Wu Qian has had a great impact on the team's strength. Speaking of Wu Qian, I believe everyone has a deep impression of him! In the domestic league, Wu Qian has a nickname called "Wu Curry"! What does this mean? It means that his three-point shooting is as accurate as NBA star Curry. In history, Wu Qian's three-point shots reached 1210, tying with men's basketball veteran Wang Shipeng, ranking fifth in history. He is also ranked first among current domestic players. It can be seen how powerful his three-point shots are! Also because Wu Qian performed well, he became the captain of Zhejiang Chouzhou Financial Leasing Men's Basketball Team. Under Wu Qian's leadership, Zhejiang Chouzhou Men's Basketball Team once won the regular season championship in the 2022-2023 season. Unfortunately, they lost to the defending champion Liaoning Men's Basketball Team in the finals and finished as runners-up. Even so, the runner-up also created the best record in the club's history. And as captain, Wu Qian was indispensable! Therefore, Wu Qian also receives top salary from Zhejiang Chouzhou Financial Leasing Men's Basketball Team. Wu Qian did not…

He is the big good man in the NBA.

He has also given gifts to his teammates many times, participated in community care activities to help many people, and at the same time used his influence in the basketball and rap worlds to help the underprivileged speak out and fight for better rights for them. At the same time, he is also a good man.

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…

The recent CBA games have left me with four words to describe my feelings: angry and awkward. Why angry? The games have lost their essence! Diving, flopping, malicious fouls - it's like an "Oscar-worthy performance" scene, where the games lack passion and even become laughable. Is this basketball court for playing or for showcasing acting skills? And why awkward? We were expecting intense matchups and tactical brilliance, but what happened? The referees' whistles are incessant, and the games are disrupted by various unsightly actions. If we continue like this, not only will the games' appeal plummet, but the league's reputation will also be at risk. This wave of "foul fever" naturally makes Zhao Rui a hot topic. In a game between Guangdong and Shandong, Zhao Rui, dissatisfied with the referee's decision, directly collided with the referee and threw a towel. This behavior stunned not only ordinary viewers but also live commentators. As a result, the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) handed down a punishment: a five-game suspension plus a 100,000 yuan fine. Basketball enthusiasts might feel a jolt upon hearing this punishment. If such behavior occurred in an international league like the NBA, Zhao Rui could face a year-long suspension or even career implications. But what is the CBA's stance? It seems akin to a parent telling a child who has made a mistake, "This time, you're just punished by not having dinner!" Some netizens jokingly comment: With such lenient punishment, isn't it just encouraging him to "do it again next time"? In fact, fans are no strangers to Zhao Rui's…

Translation of the article content into English: On January 5th, there were 15 football matches and 6 NBA basketball games. Here is an analysis of the results: Football Matches:‌ Elche vs Las Palmas: The confidence in the Segunda Division giving a handicap to La Liga is quite strong. However, the handicap of 0.25 goals was not stable, fluctuating between a draw and 0.25 goals. Therefore, it is recommended to bet on a double chance of a draw or home win, with a preference for a narrow victory for the home team. Monza vs Cagliari: Both teams are fighting for relegation points, with Monza playing at home. Despite Monza's previous victory at home with a 0.5 goal handicap, this match struggled to maintain even a 0.25 goal advantage, dropping back to a draw. This indicates a lack of support for the home team, so a draw is predicted. Fulham vs Ipswich: Fulham has significantly improved their form, achieving seven unbeaten matches. Ipswich, despite a recent 2-0 win over Chelsea (which seemed like Chelsea let them win), still has a significant gap in strength compared to the home team. Fulham gave a 1 goal handicap to Ipswich, showing great support. However, considering their last encounter was at level odds, the current high opening by two levels and low water for the home team might put too much pressure on Fulham to perform. A draw is suggested. Lecce vs Genoa: Genoa has achieved four unbeaten away matches, contrasting with Lecce's recent 2-0 loss to Como. Initially, both teams were at level odds, showing…

Time seemed to stand still at that moment, with the air in the Rose Garden Ballpark filled with tension and anticipation. James leapt high, the basketball drawing a perfect arc before swishing through the net! The crowd erupted in thunderous applause as he scored 38 points! This was not an ordinary number; it symbolized another breakthrough for Lao Jian, heralding the birth of a new milestone in NBA history. At 40 years old, for most basketball players, this would mean the end of their career or even retirement to enjoy life. However, for LeBron James, 40 is just another new beginning. He remains like an untiring lion, galloping on the court, using his repeated brilliant performances to declare to the world: Is Lianpo too old to eat? The answer is affirmative! Look at his recent game statistics: 38 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists—these are not the numbers of a 40-year-old veteran but rather those of a superstar at the peak of his powers! Not only can he score, but he can also organize attacks and connect the team, being the absolute core and soul of the Lakers. Compared to other players of the same age, James' performance is nothing short of miraculous, which stems from his decades-long rigorous training, strict dietary control, and positive mindset. He is like a perpetual motion machine, tirelessly running, jumping, and fighting on the court, embodying the meaning of "an old horse still harbors ambitions for a thousand miles." He not only inspires his teammates but also encourages countless young players, becoming their role model.…

Kawhi Leonard's injury news has been back and forth, but it finally got confirmed today. He made his season debut, and as they say, actions speak louder than words. Indeed, that turned out to be the case when facing the Eastern Conference powerhouse, the Atlanta Hawks. The Clippers' confidence skyrocketed with Leonard's return, and the team's morale soared as they dominated the game. Ultimately, the Clippers secured a 131-105 victory at home, ending their two-game losing streak. We previously mentioned that Leonard's comeback would be a significant advantage for James Harden, allowing him to catch his breath. In recent times, Harden has almost been crushed by pressure. After all, he is 35 years old, not in his prime like he was at 28 during his Houston Rockets days. If it were his Rockets era, Leonard could miss the entire regular season, and Harden could still lead the team to a top-four record by himself. However, Harden's physical condition has indeed deteriorated significantly; he has succumbed to time. The most noticeable change with Leonard's return is that Harden can focus on organizing and setting up his teammates instead of having to do everything himself. However, there is one aspect that seems unreasonable. We initially thought Leonard would replace Dunn's role, but it turned out to be replacing Jones at the power forward position. Tyronn Lue must have had his reasons, but Leonard should ideally play the small forward position to reduce wear and tear. It's clear that Harden and Powell in the backcourt, Leonard at the three, and Jones and Zubac…

Introduction In 2019, CBA's Guangsha men's basketball team spent $4.4 million to bring in Kenneth Faried, known as the "half-man, half-amazing," but upon arriving in China, he not only earned our money but also performed mediocrely and engaged in slandering China after leaving. So, why do foreign players who earn Chinese money engage in discrediting China? Background and Joining CBA of Kenneth Faried This American player, nicknamed "half-man, half-amazing," once dominated the NBA court, making countless fans go crazy. However, when he joined the CBA with a sky-high annual salary, he staged a farce that made people's jaws drop. Faried's basketball career was glorious. In the NBA, he played for many teams, including the Denver Nuggets, Brooklyn Nets, and Houston Rockets. His physical fitness is outstanding, with astonishing jumping ability, often contributing exciting dunks and blocks in games. In 2013, he even won the MVP title of the All-Star Rookie Challenge, which can be described as dazzling. However, with the increase in age and competition, Faried's status in the NBA gradually declined. Just as his career seemed to reach a crossroads, China's CBA extended an olive branch to him. In 2019, Zhejiang Guangsha men's basketball team signed Faried with an astonishing $4.4 million annual salary. This figure not only made people stare in amazement but was also nearly five times Faried's salary in his last season in the NBA. For Guangsha team, introducing Faried was undoubtedly a gamble. They hoped that this former NBA star could help the team achieve success on the CBA court with his rich experience and…

The performance of Lofton in the CBA is enough to see how low the level of Chinese basketball has fallen. It's important to recognize reality and not overestimate oneself just because one can play well in the CBA league. Once you step outside, you'll realize that you're nothing special. The CBA and NBA operate on completely different levels; it's as simple as that. Now we understand the greatness of Yao Ming back then. Lofton is a simplified version of Jokic, with outstanding abilities across the board. However, he lacks distinct features in the NBA, where both his static and dynamic talents are average. In the CBA, though, he's at the top. The CBA is best suited for versatile players who can play a central role, orchestrate offense, and defend effectively. The current CBA is more of a show, an entertainment spectacle. It's absurd to see teams scoring over a hundred points; this isn't a farce, is it? Players circle within their teams, coaches dart around the court, and those in their thirties act as team leaders, manipulating games like performances. Coaches bow and scrape to curry favor, undermining talent. The NBA is the pinnacle of basketball worldwide. What is the CBA in comparison? It doesn't even measure up to the NBA's second-tier leagues, let alone European leagues. The NBA recruits Chinese players for commercial advertising effects. Based on the current level of domestic players, none of them can make it in the NBA. Despite not being signed by any NBA team, Lofton's skills far surpass those of domestic players. American…

Translation: Is the NBA really not being watched anymore? The current season has completed two-fifths of its games. During the offseason, the NBA struck a jaw-dropping partnership with media giants ESPN, Amazon, and NBC. This is an 11-year, $77 billion media rights deal that has led to a pay-to-watch model for fans. However, viewership has dropped by 31% compared to last year. ESPN's ratings have fallen by 28%, and TNT's by 3%. Could it be just because "LeBron is being targeted, Curry is getting fewer opportunities, Harden is struggling, and Durant is exhausted"? The four major stars are all aging, so it's no wonder they're not as popular. In response, Adam Silver said: It's only because other events and hot news have attracted more viewers during this period; the NBA still has many people paying attention. But the real reasons may be even more disheartening for Silver: Legalized gambling, encouraging offense at the expense of defense, a capitalistic game, ignoring the charm of sports competition, and focusing on the business model—Silver is also a significant factor in why the games have become less enjoyable. If he had retained even a bit of Stern's sentimentality, the games wouldn't be this hard to watch. Is this era coming to an end? LeBron is 40, Durant is 36, Curry is 36, Westbrook is 36, and Paul is 39. Even the youngest, Harden, is 35! Shaquille O'Neal retweeted an American media tweet: The era is ending! What will happen after they retire? Who can hold up the future face of the NBA? At present,…
