The Lakers are currently in a difficult situation, having just lost to their local rivals, the Clippers. Anthony Davis, also known as "Brother Mei," performed poorly, with the center Zubac dominating the paint. The Lakers really need a legitimate center, as Davis does not want to face off against true centers; he is a power forward and does not wish to engage in the physical battles of the giants. Although the Lakers recently signed a center, Trey Jamison, who stands at 211 cm, he is essentially a minor player on a two-way contract. Having been cut by the Pelicans and being an undrafted rookie, he lacks significant fighting ability. Therefore, Pelinka's signing of him seems to be more about deceiving fans and himself. The Lakers have other frontcourt players like Wood, Hayes, and Koloč, but none of them are true starters. Wood is known for his defensive lapses, Hayes is slow and loves to jump without much skill, and Koloč is so thin that he flies away with a single push, lacking any real physicality. Thus, while the Lakers appear to have three centers, they actually have no one in the paint. Davis is now the starting center because Hachimura and James play as forwards. However, Davis has always been resistant to playing center, both during his time with the Pelicans and after joining the Lakers, which is an open secret. Recently, there has been a very good center on the market who is involved in trade rumors: the Mavericks' Gafford. Multiple sources have revealed that the Mavericks want to…

NBA regular season is in full swing, with the Lakers hosting the Nets at home. Facing a struggling Nets team, the Lakers failed to assert their dominance and had a tough battle that went down to the wire before ultimately securing a narrow 102-101 victory over the Nets, earning them a two-game winning streak. James: 12 out of 17 shots made, 29 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 block, 2 steals, with a plus-minus of -11. After this game, he has accumulated 827 points, 263 rebounds, 309 assists, 16 blocks, and 28 steals in the regular season. Rivers: 13 out of 23 shots made, 38 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, with a plus-minus of +1. After this game, he has accumulated 592 points, 142 rebounds, 204 assists, 36 steals, and 4 blocks in the regular season. Hachimura: 4 out of 10 shots made, 10 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, with a plus-minus of +3.

Today, there were quite a few NBA games with impressive performances from various star players such as Alexander, Turner, Booker, DeRozan, and Harden. However, when it comes to selecting today's best player, there is no doubt about who deserves the title. Let's take a closer look at the specific situations. In a game where the Clippers easily defeated the Trail Blazers, Harden had a great start in the first quarter, scoring 12 points with 4 out of 8 shots, including 0 out of 4 three-pointers, and 4 out of 4 free throws. Throughout the game, Harden played only 29 minutes, shooting 7 out of 16, 1 out of 8 three-pointers, and 4 out of 4 free throws, accumulating 19 points, 2 rebounds, and 6 assists. With today's 19 points, Harden's total career points reached 26,700, just 10 points shy of ranking 14th on the all-time scoring list (held by Oscar Robertson). Turner, the center for the Pacers, transformed into a high-caliber cannon, showcasing both offensive and defensive prowess. In the first half alone, he shot 6 out of 10, made 5 out of 7 three-pointers, and scored 2 out of 2 free throws, accumulating 19 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, and 1 block with a +14 plus-minus rating. Over the entire game, Turner played 37 minutes, shooting 9 out of 16, making 8 out of 11 three-pointers, and scoring 2 out of 2 free throws, totaling 28 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, and 2 blocks. The Suns managed to secure a victory against the Wizards, despite…

Sleep tight, because when you wake up, it's another big win! That's right, this is the Rockets we know and love. After easily defeating the Nuggets, the Rockets have now won five consecutive games. What was supposed to be a tough stretch of games turned out to be a breeze for them. Under Udoka's guidance, these young players have become a force to be reckoned with, showing real potential for greatness. In the game against the Nuggets, the Rockets' star player Jalen Green continued his explosive form. He's been on fire recently, scoring an impressive 34 points in just three quarters. His shooting efficiency was impeccable: 10 out of 16 from the field, 6 out of 10 from beyond the arc, and a perfect 8 for 8 from the free-throw line. It's clear that he's playing at an incredibly high level. Besides Jalen Green, Alperen Sengun has also been delivering consistently. Since becoming a starter, the Rockets have gone 9-1, which speaks volumes about his impact. Sengun's defense has been particularly noteworthy, and there's a real chance he could make the All-Defensive Team this year. In the recent game, he had 11 points, 9 rebounds, 4 steals, and 2 blocks. His performance has been nothing short of spectacular, especially considering his height of only 201 cm. The chemistry between Jalen Green and Sengun has been a joy to watch for Rockets fans, as they continue to push each other to new heights. However, it's not just these two who have been shining. Another player who has recently found his groove…

Last season, many believed that the "post-Easy era" had begun, and young center Xu Xin should have had the opportunity to shine. However, Zhou Qi unexpectedly joined the team. This powerful interior player occupied a lot of playing time, leaving Xu Xin with only scraps of opportunities, never really getting the chance to show his skills. This season, the situation changed again. Zhou Qi went to the Beijing team, and it was originally thought that Xu Xin's opportunity had come. However, the newly arrived Wang Shaojie mainly played at the No. 4 position, and the interior competition remained fierce. Xu Xin still did not get enough playing time, which made the Guangdong fans who were full of expectations very anxious, and they all voiced their grievances for Xu Xin. As the season progressed, Xu Xin's playing time became scattered. Especially recently, after Bazley returned to the team, the three foreign players of the Guangdong team were all big men, making the interior very crowded, and Xu Xin had even fewer opportunities to play. By the time of this round's match against Shenzhen, the "Guangdong Derby," this local derby carried the expectations of many fans and also had many unknown factors. At a critical moment, Coach Du Feng made an important decision to give Xu Xin a rare opportunity to play, and perhaps this time would be a good opportunity for Xu Xin to change his fate. The game officially started, and Xu Xin walked onto the court with firm steps, his eyes filled with a burning desire to prove himself.…

NBA regular season continues, with the Phoenix Suns suffering a 117-122 loss on the road against the Atlanta Hawks. In this game, the Suns started off well offensively but were unable to exert pressure defensively, trailing by 2 points at the end of the first quarter with a score of 31-33. In the second quarter, their defense showed no improvement, and as their offensive state declined, their disadvantage gradually increased. At halftime, the Suns were down by 8 points with a score of 56-64. In the third quarter, the point difference quickly widened to over 10 points, but fortunately, the Suns found their offensive rhythm again, not allowing the Hawks many counterattacks. They launched a 29-13 run, instantly turning the situation around. However, in the fourth quarter, the Suns' offense became unstable once more, relying only on their star players to barely maintain their lead. Combined with poor defense, they ultimately lost their advantage and the game. After the loss, the Suns' record stands at 19 wins and 20 losses. So where exactly did the Suns lose this game? Perhaps the data can provide us with some answers. Kevin Durant shot 13 out of 20 from the field, 0 out of 2 from three-point range, and 5 out of 7 from the free-throw line, scoring 31 points with 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks, and 3 turnovers. Today, Durant's performance was almost impeccable. He played efficiently and consistently, delivering an impressive display on both ends of the court despite his high minutes. This is reflected in the statistics.…

NBA regular season continues to be played, with the Rockets hosting the Grizzlies at home. The Rockets have been in good form recently, securing a three-game winning streak. In this game, the Rockets' offensive performance was average, but fortunately, Green's efficient play helped the team keep up with the score, trailing 23-30 in the first quarter. In the second quarter, Green continued his stable performance, and White Magic, who came off the bench, also performed efficiently, with the Rockets trailing 57-60 at halftime. In the second half, both teams fought fiercely, but in the final quarter, the Rockets once trailed by 13 points. Fortunately, Green led the team with a 14-2 run to narrow the gap, and in the end, Amen made a free throw to seal the victory. Green has proven that as long as he has the ball, he can perform, having scored over 25 points for five consecutive games. He is now a true scoring weapon with high offensive efficiency (a shooting percentage of 72.2% in this game), capable of driving and shooting, creating fouls, and not shying away from key shots, scoring 10 points in the fourth quarter alone. This season, Green has scored over 30 points in seven games, with the Rockets maintaining a perfect 7-0 record in those games. He finished the game with 42 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 steal on 13-of-18 shooting, including 5-of-6 from three-point range. Today, it was entirely Green's individual effort that carried the Rockets' offense; without his outstanding performance, the Rockets would have lost much earlier.…

The Houston Rockets announced before their home game against the Memphis Grizzlies that their forward Tari Eason would continue to miss the game. Although Eason has now resumed training, and coach Udoka has increased the intensity of his training on non-game days, it must be said that Eason is still plagued by injuries. He may not be able to play for the Rockets for a while. Although Eason's current injury is not serious, last season's serious injury left him with psychological scars, and he still occasionally feels pain in his left leg. Udoka said he doesn't know when Eason will be able to officially return to the team and play, so Eason has now missed 12 games, and no one knows if he will be able to play in the next game. The Rockets' small forward Jabari Smith has also been out for a week, and may have to miss another month or so before he can play again. The Rockets' schedule in January was already quite tough, with a dense schedule and facing many playoff-level strong teams. However, surprisingly, the Rockets did not fall into a losing streak as a result. Under Udoka's leadership, this team not only had a very good record in January, but after defeating the Grizzlies, they also welcomed a four-game winning streak, maintaining their position at second in the West, with their lead over the third-placed Grizzlies expanding to two wins. This was unexpected by everyone, as many people thought that with the Rockets' weakened lineup and facing so many strong teams, they were…

On January 13th, Beijing time, today's NBA games were very exciting. Stars like Tatum, Towns, Brunson, LaVine, Westbrook, and Jokic all performed well, making them candidates for today's best player. The Celtics narrowly defeated the Pelicans 120-119, with McCollum almost scoring a buzzer-beater at the end. Tatum of the Celtics scored 38 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 1 block on 14-of-30 shooting, but his long-range shooting was poor, going 2-for-10 from three-point range. Jaylen Brown had 16 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists, Porzingis had 19 points and 11 rebounds, and Pritchard off the bench had 11 points and 4 assists, while Horford had 11 points and 7 rebounds. For the Pelicans, Murphy scored 30 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists, Murray had 26 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block, and McCollum went 5-for-15 to score 13 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists. The Knicks defeated the Bucks 140-106, securing a significant victory. Brunson of the Knicks exploded, scoring 44 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists on 16-of-26 shooting, including 5-of-10 from three-point range and 7-of-8 from the free-throw line. Towns also contributed significantly, scoring 30 points, 18 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 steal on 10-of-16 shooting. Hart went 5-for-5 to score 11 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 assists, Anunoby had 11 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists, and 1 block, and Payne off the bench scored 18 points. The Bucks' Antetokounmpo scored 24 points, 13 rebounds, and 2 assists on 10-of-21 shooting, Lillard had 22 points, 3 rebounds, and 5 assists, and Middleton…

When the final whistle blew, the game officially came to an end, with the score firmly set at 105-96. Guangdong team, playing at home, successfully defeated Qingdao team with a 9-point advantage. After winning this game, Guangdong team also ushered in a recent five-game winning streak. Let's talk about it in detail. First of all, we need to talk about the losing Qingdao team. Mentioning this matter, it is inevitable to talk about Yang Hanshen. He played for nearly 38 minutes and made 17 shots in total, hitting 6 times. However, his performance outside the three-point line was poor, missing all 3 attempts, and even failing to make a free throw, with only 1 attempt ending in failure. He successfully scored 12 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, with 2 assists and 2 steals. However, there were some unsatisfactory situations, such as 4 turnovers and a plus-minus value of -12. Looking at the overall data and efficiency on the court, it can only be said that it is a relatively average level, with nothing particularly outstanding. There are even some cases below expectations. Generally speaking, shooting skills still need to be improved. Even if you didn't watch that game, just by looking at these statistics, you can know that Yang Hanshen's overall shooting percentage is not high, especially considering his identity as an interior player. In the current basketball era, that simply won't work. You see, in today's basketball era, the focus is no longer on intense confrontation as it used to be. Instead, basketball is increasingly focusing on shooting. To…
