NBA regular season Lakers home game against the Wizards, although the Wizards ranked last in the East, but do not forget that this is also an NBA team, a group of NBA players playing, as the saying goes, there are no weak teams in the NBA, the Lakers dare not slack off at all, showing the main lineup to play. In this game, James played for 35 minutes, scoring 21 points, 10 rebounds, 13 assists, and 2 steals, surpassing Pippen with these 2 steals to reach a total of 2309 steals in his career, rising to seventh place on the historical steals list. So far this season, James averages 0.9 steals per game, which translates to about 80 steals per season based on this data. Taking into account James' contract situation and his own willingness to play, we will still see him next season. That is to say, with the remaining forty games this season and eighty-two games next season, he can get around 110 steals, surpassing Morris Cheeks, who ranks sixth, without any suspense. However, it will be a bit difficult to surpass Gary Payton, who ranks fifth. Therefore, James' final steal count will rank sixth in history, an achievement that is worthy of admiration. After all, as a forward, he relies on his excellent ability to read the game, predict the opponent's passing intentions in advance, and ultimately complete the steal. It is not easy to accomplish such a feat that many outstanding guards have failed to achieve. The top five players are: 1st: Stockton 3265 2nd: Kidd…

The Spurs are aiming to rise this season and make it to the playoffs, but the challenge is significant due to the fierce competition in the Western Conference, where numerous strong teams vie for playoff spots. Even the Suns' trio of stars can only manage to rank tenth in the West, while the Warriors sit at eleventh. The Spurs have a record of 19 wins and 20 losses, placing them twelfth in the West. To enter the Western Conference play-in tournament area, the Spurs must surpass both the Suns and the Warriors, a task that is easier said than done. Recently, there has been a remarkable breakout from a Spurs rookie, who has been averaging 26 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists per game. Coach Popovich's decision to bet on this player seems to have paid off, and the guidance of Paul has helped him quickly emerge as a key player. Currently, the most consistent performer for the Spurs is undoubtedly the first overall pick, Wenyamata, who averages 24.7 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.1 steals, and 4.0 blocks (leading the league) per game. Wenyamata has shown significant improvement in scoring this season, with impressive three-point shooting and steadily improving mid-to-long-range shooting efficiency. His defensive blocking ability is particularly sharp, even stronger than last season when he averaged 3.6 blocks per game, leading the league. This season, he maintains an average of 4 blocks per game, significantly ahead of other players. The Spurs rely on Wenyamata for their interior game and on Paul and Castle for their perimeter play.

The Clippers achieved a remarkable 59-point victory in an NBA game, with a score of 102-51 at the end of three quarters. The Clippers dominated the Nets at home, leading by double the score after three quarters, which was truly astonishing. While it's understandable that the Clippers scored 102 points, it's surprising that the Nets only managed to score 51 points. Is this still an NBA team? It seems they didn't want to win, but there was no need to perform so poorly; it's too embarrassing. Before the third quarter ended, Tyronn Lue replaced the starters with substitutes, showing great confidence as he knew the opponents couldn't possibly make a comeback. In the fourth quarter, the Nets tried to catch up on scoring, aiming to reduce the margin as much as possible, otherwise, the score would be too unsightly. However, contrary to their hopes, the Clippers' substitutes showed no mercy. They were determined to seize the opportunity and perform well, so they certainly wouldn't let up. The Nets' mentality collapsed, with Cloney being ejected from the game, losing both the game and their dignity. The Clippers continued to score, with the point difference reaching 58, causing everyone to stand up for a group photo to commemorate the moment. Paul, did you see that? It gets worse; the Nets still struggled to score, while the Clippers seemed to score effortlessly, with Coffey hitting a three-pointer and Hyland scoring consecutively, increasing the lead to a massive 64 points. In the end, the Clippers celebrated a significant victory, defeating the Nets 126-67 by…

A major upset occurred at the Nuggets' home court! Can you believe it? The fourth-ranked Nuggets in the West were actually overturned by the tenth-ranked Spurs! MVP favorite Jokic scored 41 points, 18 rebounds, and 9 assists, but it was all for naught! On the other side, "French Little Giant" Wenban Yama sealed his legend with 35 points and 18 rebounds, plus 4 assists and 2 blocks! Wow, these stats are simply explosive! This game on January 4th, 2025, is destined to go down in history! Before the game, everyone thought the Nuggets would win easily. With Jokic leading the charge and in top form this season, the Spurs didn't seem to have much else besides Wenban Yama. But who knew that this young man would lead a group of little brothers to give the Nuggets a lesson! Gordon and Sohan were injured, so the Nuggets' starting lineup was Murray, Westbrook, Braun, Porter, and Jokic; while the Spurs had Paul, Vassell, Castle, Barnes, and Wenban Yama. Looking at this lineup, fans thought there was no suspense in the game. The game started with Porter giving the Nuggets a good start, making a layup with ease. But the Spurs quickly responded, with Castle and Wenban Yama scoring inside and out, launching an 8-2 run to give the Nuggets a wake-up call. Jokic saw that this wouldn't do and immediately began his scoring show, operating inside and scoring 4 points in a row. But Wenban Yama, this kid, was like cheating, impossible to guard! He shot from beyond the three-point line and…

The Lakers faced off against the Spurs at home, a match that should have been a routine regular-season encounter but ultimately turned into an intriguing "drama." On one side were the traditional powerhouse Lakers, still relying on the James-Davis duo to struggle, while on the other were the up-and-coming Spurs, led by No. 1 draft pick Wembanyama, showcasing their astonishing potential. The question arises: how far can the Lakers go with this lineup? And will the young Spurs seize the opportunity to rise and welcome a new era? As the No. 1 pick in the 2023 draft, Wembanyama was undoubtedly the highlight of the game. He once again demonstrated his dominance over the game with a comprehensive performance - 23 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks. In particular, his streak of hitting at least one three-pointer and recording one block in 29 consecutive games directly set a new NBA historical record. It's worth noting that such a combination of stats means he can score effortlessly on offense and efficiently shut down opponents on defense. His ability to attack and defend well evokes memories of the legendary Spurs figure, Duncan. However, Wembanyama possesses more modern basketball flexibility, with his three-point shooting making him a threat from the perimeter. Nonetheless, his physical condition remains a double-edged sword - whether his slender frame can withstand the high-intensity competition of the NBA remains to be seen. But based solely on his performance so far this season, the future potential of this No. 1 pick is virtually limitless. He is not…

The Houston Rockets have now become the second strongest team in the Western Conference, with their winning percentage consistently ranking second in the West. After defeating the Memphis Grizzlies, the Rockets achieved a small three-game winning streak, with their winning percentage and form steadily improving. Udoka clearly stated in an interview that Jalen Green and Shen Jing have been performing outstandingly and stably recently, serving as the core pillars of the team.

The current defensive system of the Rockets is also built by Udoka, centered around Dillon Brooks, Jabari Smith, Amen Thompson, Tari Eason, Tate, and VanVleet. This season, the Rockets' defensive efficiency ranks third in the entire league, with both Jalen Green and Shen Jing's defense entering the top 70 in the league.

Are defensive specialists generally less likely to be overpaid and underperforming? Gobert's offensive scoring ability has significantly declined, and his defensive stats are not as good as before, so people think he is very overpriced.
