At the age of 36, Curry, Durant, and James are all facing different challenges in their careers. Curry's inconsistent performance this season has led to questions about whether he is starting to decline. In the 24 games he has played so far, he has scored less than 20 points in 9 games, with a decrease in various statistics compared to last season. Despite his efficiency being average, he is no longer able to control the game with his three-point shots as he used to, and his fluctuating state is the main reason why the Warriors are currently ranked 11th in the West. Facing top teams like the Celtics, Cavaliers, Clippers, and Nuggets this season, Curry has not performed well. If this trend continues, it will undoubtedly reduce his chances of being selected for the All-NBA Team. Durant, who entered the league two years earlier than Curry but is the same age, has played 20 games this season, averaging 27.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.2 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 51.5% and a three-point percentage of 42%. From an individual standpoint, Durant remains one of the best scorers in the NBA today, with both efficiency and output being outstanding. However, due to injuries and other factors, the Suns are currently tied for tenth in the West with a record of 15 wins and 15 losses, similar to the Warriors' situation. Lastly, let's take a look at James' performance at the age of 36. In the 2020-21 season, James averaged 25 points, 7.7 rebounds, 7.8 assists, and 1.1 steals,…

On December 29th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued with the Warriors facing off against the Suns at home in a back-to-back game. In this match, Curry and Green made their return, and both teams were locked in a seesaw battle, with the Warriors taking the initiative and leading by some points. Beal and Durant led the Suns in catching up on the score, and after that, both teams were in a seesaw battle, with the point difference never widening. In the end, the Suns couldn't hold on in the crucial moments. Ultimately, the Warriors defeated the Suns 109-105, ending their three-game losing streak. In this game, Curry and Green returned, and Schroder continued to start. Beal started hot, while the Warriors relied on Curry and Kuminga to continuously score points, successfully overtaking the point difference and leading by 7 points in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Suns began to exert themselves, and the Warriors made consecutive mistakes. The Suns unleashed a 26-7 run, directly overtaking and widening the point difference. Fortunately, Green hit a three-pointer to stop the bleeding, followed by Curry hitting a buzzer-beater, and at halftime, the Warriors narrowed the gap to 61-65. After changing sides for the second half, neither team could continue their fiery shooting from the first half, both falling into a stalemate, with the point difference never widening, and the third quarter ended with the Warriors trailing by 5 points. Entering the final quarter, the Suns still held the initiative on the court, but in the crucial moments, Kuminga…

On December 29, 2024, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Phoenix Suns at home with a close score of 109-105, successfully ending their three-game losing streak. The outbreak of Kuminga and Curry's return became the key to the game, while the Suns' mistakes and unstable offense ultimately led to their loss. This victory for the Warriors is not only a win but also reflects several important facts. Here is a review of the game's highlights and seven undeniable truths. Kuminga's Explosive Performance Kuminga displayed an astonishing individual ability in the game, scoring 34 points and grabbing 9 rebounds. Especially in the last quarter, his crucial scores helped the Warriors achieve a comeback. This performance proved Kuminga's growth in critical moments and showed his potential to become a core player in the future. Curry's Steady Return Despite just recovering from an injury, Curry's return still brought significant help to the Warriors. He contributed 22 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists throughout the game, especially with some key scores in the final quarter that helped stabilize the team's lead. Curry's presence undoubtedly enhanced the Warriors' overall offensive level. The Suns' Offensive Efficiency Falters Although the Suns have two major offensive weapons in Durant and Beal, their offensive mistakes in critical moments ultimately cost them the game. Beal and Durant showcased their powerful offensive capabilities in the first three quarters, but the Suns failed to seize the opportunity in the final moments and were eventually overtaken by the Warriors. The Warriors' Teamwork and Resilience This game also reaffirmed the Warriors' strong teamwork abilities.…

Green: Only two players in the NBA today don't need to prove themselves, Durant and Harden are not qualified! As we all know, "Dream Chaser" Green is one of the most annoying players in the NBA today. He punches Gobert and kicks Adams on the court, using all kinds of dirty moves, and even doesn't spare his teammates. Off the court, Green's various shocking remarks have earned him a lot of attention. A sentence like "We were already champions before you came" has made Durant defensive until now. It can be said that whether it's behavior or words, Green always manages to surprise people. Not long ago, Green's remarks once again sparked heated discussions among fans. He stated that there are only two players in the league who do not need to prove themselves, but superstars like Durant, Antetokounmpo, and Harden are not among them. So, let's take a look together. In Green's list, Curry is undoubtedly at the forefront. As the number one "Curry fan" in the league, Green has always regarded Curry as his big brother, following his lead both on the court and in the locker room. As teammates who won four championships side by side, their friendship goes without saying. In fact, Curry's career achievements and influence are also among the best among current players. He is not only the founder of the Warriors dynasty but also the leader of the small-ball era. With four championships, one FMVP, two consecutive MVPs, and the historical three-point king, Curry with such a resume no longer needs to prove…

Surprise Upset! Curry 22 for 9, Durant 31 points + 6 turnovers, both unexpectedly injured and withdrawn, Warriors successfully avenge By Lao Kankanqiu | Edited by Lao Kankanqiu On December 29th, Beijing time, the NBA 2024-25 season regular season welcomes a focus match in the Western Conference, with the Golden State Warriors hosting the Phoenix Suns back-to-back. This is the second encounter between the two teams this season. In the previous match, the Suns defeated the Warriors by 8 points, slightly taking the upper hand. Interestingly, the Warriors have faced Pacific Division teams with a record of 0 wins and 5 losses, without a single victory, including 0-3 against the Clippers, 0-1 against the Lakers, and 0-1 against the Suns, which is indeed somewhat restrained. More difficult is that after the Warriors topped the Western Conference, they only managed to win 3 out of the next 15 games, ranking at the bottom of the league during the same period. They currently hold a total record of 15 wins and 15 losses, ranking 11th in the West, indicating that there must be major issues within the team. Combined with Curry's previous statement to the media that if playing basketball no longer brings him joy, it would be time to retire, it is clear that the Warriors' locker room is not as calm as it appears on the outside. Similarly, the Suns have also been struggling recently, much like the Warriors' trajectory. They once topped the Western Conference standings but then Durant suffered an injury, and the team's performance plummeted. They are…

Lakers 132: Kings 122 - Davis Dominates with 36 Points, Reeves Contributes 20+ to Secure Home Victory In the NBA regular season on December 28, 2024, the Lakers secured a 132-122 victory over the Kings at home, achieving their second consecutive win. In this game, Davis delivered an impressive performance with 36 points, 15 rebounds, and 8 assists, playing a crucial role in the team's success. Additionally, Austin Reeves and Rui Hachimura both scored over 20 points, significantly contributing to the Lakers' triumph. On the Kings' side, DeMar DeRozan scored 23 points with 4 rebounds, De'Aaron Fox contributed 15 points with 3 rebounds, and Monk also had 13 points with 4 rebounds. Despite multiple players scoring in double figures for the Kings, they were unable to stage a comeback against the Lakers' strong offensive push. The Lakers dominated the Kings in rebounds and offensive rebounds, securing 53 and 14 respectively, while the Kings managed only 43 and 4. The Kings committed as many as 15 turnovers, leading to 22 points for the Lakers off turnovers, whereas the Lakers had just 9 turnovers, scoring 9 points off them. This match demonstrated that even without James, the Lakers could still rely on other players' outstanding performances to secure victories. Warriors 109: Suns 105 - Kuminga's Explosion, Curry's Steady Output, Durant Scores 31 in Vain The Warriors defeated the Suns with a score of 109-105. In this game, Curry scored 22 points with 6 rebounds and 6 assists, while rookie Kuminga shone with 34 points, 9 rebounds, and 3 assists, becoming the key…

NBA regular season, the Warriors defeated the Suns 109-105. In this game, the Suns' performance in the final quarter was truly terrible, as they failed to score from field play in the last two minutes, which was indeed unexpected. Under this trend, the opponent was bound to complete an overtaking, ultimately leading to a loss. After the match, they faced three pieces of bad news. The warming up of Beal in this game was a happy result. After all, he made 12 out of 24 shots, scoring 28 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists, which is not a bad efficiency. Moreover, under his leadership, the team remained in a winning position. Even though he couldn't help the team with the last shot, he could maintain such a perfect output on the offensive end, for which the team was grateful. However, Beal and Booker are completely incompatible. During Booker's absence, Beal can perform continuously. Once Booker returns, Beal will be lost. If they continue to be incompatible in the future, perhaps trading Beal is the only option, otherwise it will be difficult for the team to achieve a chemical reaction, which is a worrying aspect. In addition, Buden's coaching in this game was a complete mess, and he led to the loss. Among them, Beal was originally playing well with the bench in the final quarter, but he switched to the starters. In fact, the starters today were not playing well. If they had been brought on later, allowing Beal to continue leading the bench, at least the vitality could have…

The Phoenix Suns faced off against the Golden State Warriors in a back-to-back road game. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green returned to action for the Warriors, while the Suns were without Devin Booker due to suspension and Jusuf Nurkic was also out. The Suns' starting lineup featured Jones, Beal, Dunn, Kevin Durant, and Plumlee; the Warriors countered with Curry, Schroder, Wiggins, Green, and TJD. In the first quarter, Beal started strong with four consecutive shots made, scoring 10 points on his own. However, the Warriors had multiple players contributing, including Curry who hit a three-pointer early on. The score remained close, with the Warriors leading 15-13 at the first timeout. After the break, the Suns' offense struggled, allowing Curry to hit another three-pointer and take the lead. The Warriors then brought in Kuminga, who scored seven straight points, prompting a Suns timeout with the score at 25-18. Upon resuming play, Durant began to exert himself on both ends of the court, though the Suns unsuccessfully challenged a goaltending call. Durant continued to score through mid-range jumpers and a 2+1 play to keep the Suns in the game. The Warriors, with contributions from Kuminga and Davis, ended the quarter leading 34-27. During the second quarter, both teams rotated their lineups, with Curry and Beal leading their respective teams. Okogie had a steal and dunk, followed by Beal hitting a three-pointer, reducing the Suns' deficit to two points. After Green returned, the Warriors continued to commit turnovers, leading to Okogie drawing fouls and free throws, causing Coach Kerr to call a timeout.…

The NBA regular season game between the Suns and the Mavericks at the Suns' home court ended in an unexpected way. This match, originally highly anticipated for the direct confrontation between Durant and Irving, became a hot topic due to a brawl on the court. The chaotic scene not only left the audience stunned but also left Mavericks star Irving standing there with a basketball, at a loss. NBA players surrounded and swung fists from multiple angles, please pay attention to the referees, Irving was scared. The game started with the Mavericks quickly taking the initiative. Irving was in hot form, hitting consecutive three-pointers, helping the team to a dream start of 14-4. The Suns seemed to be struggling, barely keeping up with the point difference under Durant's leadership. At the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks only led by 3 points, but their firepower was clearly not exhausted. In the second quarter, the Suns' offense completely fizzled out, while the Mavericks expanded their lead to 16 points with a multi-flower attack. The game took a dramatic turn in the third quarter. Nurkic and the Mavericks' Marshall and Washington suddenly erupted into physical conflict during a scramble under the basket. The argument escalated to multiple people swinging fists and shoving each other, with the situation once out of control. The referees quickly intervened to expel the three troublemakers and tried their best to calm the situation. From the video replay, it can be seen that Irving wanted to go forward to understand the situation, but after witnessing the chaotic…

Continuing to create, let's talk about the Hall of Fame and retiring jerseys. Currently, only four people can guarantee this treatment: James, Curry, Antetokounmpo, and Jokic. Durant definitely doesn't qualify. How to say it? Durant won two FMVPs with the Warriors, but he wasn't the leader of the Warriors, which makes it difficult. Of course, the Hall of Fame is definitely locked in. James James has played for the Cavaliers for 11 seasons and won a championship for the Cavaliers. In three seasons with the Heat, he also won two championships for the Heat. Although he is now playing for the Lakers, he also brought a championship to the Lakers. Unexpectedly, at least the Cavaliers will hold a retirement ceremony for James. As for the Heat, I think it might be possible. The Lakers probably won't, after all, there are too many big names in Lakers history, like Johnson, Kobe, etc. If the current number one player in the league doesn't enter the Hall of Fame after retiring, that would be ridiculous. Curry Curry has been playing since the 09 season and has already played for 15 seasons. He is also one of the representatives of one person and one city in NBA history. He has won four championships for the Warriors. At such a level of cornerstone player, if the Warriors don't hold a jersey retirement ceremony for Curry, I believe Warriors fans won't agree. Moreover, during these seasons with the Warriors, Curry has increased the market value of the Warriors by dozens of times, showing the influence of…
