On January 22nd, Beijing time, in an NBA regular season game, the Philadelphia 76ers suffered their seventh consecutive loss at the hands of the Denver Nuggets. The 76ers were suppressed by the Nuggets from the start of the game, with the score difference widening to over 20 points by the end of the third quarter, and the fourth quarter quickly turned into garbage time. Without Embiid, they have lost 8 out of 9 games. Currently, the Philadelphia 76ers have five players on the injury list: Martin, Lowry, Embiid, Little Martin, and McCain. Embiid's injury report on January 17th showed that he needed another 7-10 days of rest, and his swollen knee would be re-examined after 7-10 days. Due to this away game, Embiid continued to miss playing against the Nuggets. His last appearance in Denver was back in 2019, nearly 2000 days without playing a game at the Nuggets' home court. The last time Embiid played here, Harden was still with the Rockets. However, in Embiid's last three games against the Nuggets, he averaged 40.7 points, 11.3 rebounds, and 6.3 assists. Philadelphia fans defended him, believing that it was unnecessary for Nuggets fans to mock Embiid. Despite this, Nuggets fans printed missing person flyers to mock the Emperor. Without Embiid, the 76ers were already trailing by 10 points at halftime. Jokic easily scored 18 points with 6 out of 9 shots, adding 5 assists, 3 rebounds, and 2 steals. It felt like Jokic hadn't even broken a sweat. Porter Jr. had 11 points, Braun had 12 points, and Strus had…

In a recent intense training match, NBA star Joel Embiid suffered another major setback in his career. During what appeared to be a routine confrontation, he had a minor physical encounter with Paul George, but it was this seemingly inconspicuous touch that caused Embiid to fall in pain, unable to get up. After examination, the 76ers' interior pillar had to announce that he would undergo surgery, effectively ending his season. This incident has drawn wide attention in the basketball world. Paul George, upon learning of Embiid's injury, felt depressed and apologetic. He stated in an interview that he never intended to end Embiid's season, as the contact on the basketball court was quite normal. He only lightly touched Embiid, not expecting such serious consequences. George's words revealed his helplessness and regret over Embiid's condition, sincerely hoping that Embiid could recover soon and return to the court to continue contributing to the 76ers. This event also sparked discussions about Embiid's physical condition. Many believe that Embiid's fragility is related to his long-term struggle with injuries. Since the beginning of his career, Embiid has been battling injuries, forcing him to change his playing style, shooting more three-pointers from the outside to reduce physical confrontations. However, even so, injuries have continued to plague him, making his career uncertain. For Embiid's future development, experts suggest that he lose weight to reduce the pressure on his knees. Considering that his team does not need him to play the center position, Embiid might try to transform into the tallest guard in the league. Such a change…

On January 18th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continues to progress. As the schedule deepens, the rankings on the Eastern and Western Conference standings have gradually stabilized, and the playoff situation is basically clear. However, compared to the Cavaliers and Thunder leading the entire league, teams like the Celtics, Knicks, Grizzlies, and Rockets following closely behind, the 76ers, who spent a whopping $700 million last offseason to create a luxurious trio of superstars, not only failed to perform at the level expected of a championship contender this season, but instead fell to the bottom of the league at the start of the season, currently ranking fifth from the bottom in the East and failing to even make it into the play-in tournament. In fact, as a frequent participant in the Eastern Conference playoffs over the past few years, the 76ers' level is far from what it is now, especially after absorbing the top-level 3D George, who excels in both offense and defense, during the offseason, along with tough players like Oubre, the 76ers' paper strength is enough to compete with the Celtics. However, no one could have anticipated that after signing a max contract with the 76ers during the offseason, George and Embiid began to stagger their appearances, starting from the preseason, they began to take turns nursing injuries, playing intermittently without regard for the team, and even Embiid was once forced to withdraw from the selection for this season's regular-season awards due to attendance issues. However, Embiid himself doesn't seem to care about this. He even openly stated…

The NBA regular season is nearing its halfway point, with intense competition in both the East and West. In the West, the Thunder are leading the pack, followed closely by the Rockets. The rest of the teams are engaged in a fierce battle, with the Grizzlies and Nuggets vying for third place. Eight teams - the Clippers, Mavericks, Lakers, Timberwolves, Spurs, Kings, Suns, and Warriors - have a maximum win difference of only 2.5 games. Even though the Suns and Warriors have fallen from first place in the West, they still have an advantage due to their early-season performance. However, it's becoming increasingly unlikely that either team will make the playoffs this season. The Warriors' Curry is getting older and lacks support in ball handling, while the Suns rely solely on Durant and Beal for scoring, lacking depth in other areas. This season's Eastern Conference competition is more intense than in recent years. The Cavaliers are looking down at the competition, while the Celtics, as defending champions, maintain their framework but are overly obsessed with shooting. Holiday is declining, and Porzingis is not integrating well, relying heavily on Tatum's scoring and Horford's system. This season may be their last chance to win the championship. Other teams like the Knicks and Magic are performing steadily, while the Bucks and Heat are catching up. Even the Pistons, who have been tanking for several years, now have a win rate exceeding 50%, providing more excitement. However, there is one team that started the season as a "championship favorite" but is now seriously considering…

The NBA regular season is nearing its halfway point, with the Eastern and Western Conference standings largely taking shape. In the West, the Thunder are expected to secure the top spot without much competition, while the gap between second-place Rockets and twelfth-place Suns has not been completely closed. The Kings, who were on the brink of collapse, have managed to catch up with the eighth-place Warriors after a five-game winning streak. Meanwhile, the Mavericks, who were fourth in the West just half a month ago, have been swallowed up in the chaos following a recent five-game losing streak. If we consider a scenario where Doncic is out for a month and Irving is out for two weeks, the Mavericks could very well drop out of the top ten in the West. On the other hand, the situation in the East is clearer, with the Cavaliers and Celtics, two powerhouse teams, holding onto the first and second spots in the regular season rankings, which are unlikely to change. The Knicks should have no problem securing third place, but Thibodeau's seven-man rotation will likely not hold up through the playoffs. Additionally, the Magic, despite missing their two core players, are still holding onto a spot in the top four in the East, while the Bucks and Pacers have quietly caught up. However, the 76ers, who were considered one of the favorites to win the East before the season, have only managed a record of 14 wins and 20 losses so far, placing them eleventh in the conference. While they are not far…

On January 3rd, Beijing time, the NBA regular season saw the Warriors host the 76ers. The Warriors' starting lineup for today's game was Wiggins, Green, Davis, Schroder, and Curry. The 76ers started with George, Martin, Embiid, Lowry, and Maxi. Looking at the strength of both teams, it seems that the 76ers have a slight advantage, with Embiid, George, and Maxi making their starting lineup top-tier in the league. The Warriors' starting lineup has not been performing well recently, so it remains to be seen if they can return to normal levels today. The 76ers' bench is not particularly strong, while the Warriors' bench features players like Kuminga and Murray, clearly superior in strength to the 76ers'. The first quarter began with Curry hitting a three-pointer right away, showing hot form. Schroder assisted Green to score and also hit two consecutive three-pointers, helping the team achieve a 13-4 scoring run and forcing a timeout from the 76ers. After the timeout, although the 76ers started scoring, the Warriors were always able to respond in time. Today, the entire Warriors team is in good form, especially Schroder, who is exceptionally hot, playing very decisively and proactively - this is the Black we hope to see as Warriors fans. The 76ers' scoring was intermittent, and Embiid still seemed to have physical issues, making scoring difficult. Compared to his peak performance, he is far behind. Not only is Embiid's state poor, but the others are also quite average, feeling like the 76ers are playing in a disorganized manner. The Warriors won't show any mercy, with…

The Philadelphia 76ers faced off against the Golden State Warriors in a back-to-back away game. The Warriors' starting lineup included Wiggins, Green, Davis, Schroder, and Curry; while the 76ers' lineup featured George, Martin, Embiid, Lowry, and Maxi. In the first quarter, Curry and Schroder of the Warriors unleashed a barrage of three-pointers, quickly building a lead with a 13-4 run that forced a timeout from the 76ers. Upon resuming play, the 76ers struggled to find their rhythm from beyond the arc, while the Warriors continued to score from multiple players, rapidly extending their lead into double digits. Even after Coach Kerr made substitutions, the Warriors maintained their offensive momentum, going on another scoring spree. In contrast, the 76ers were unable to produce any points, ending the first quarter trailing 19-35, a deficit of 16 points. During the second quarter, with both teams rotating their lineups, the Warriors continued their relentless attack, pushing the lead towards 20 points. As the game seemed to be slipping away, George stepped up to stem the bleeding with his individual scoring ability. The two teams exchanged baskets, with the score at 36-52 as they entered a timeout. Returning to the court, the 76ers attempted to close the gap, with Gordon hitting a three-pointer and Embiid drawing fouls for free throws, prompting another timeout from Coach Kerr. After the break, both teams engaged in a tough battle, with Embiid completing a 2+1 play and Curry responding with a three-pointer. Wiggins added a layup, helping the Warriors maintain a 15-point lead and stabilize the situation. The half…

George receives the ball and drives towards the top of the arc. At this critical moment when they are trailing by 2 points with less than 30 seconds remaining, it's time for him to step up and play the hero. However, things don't go as planned... He loses the ball halfway through his drive and then jumps into the air, flailing around looking for a foul from the referee. The referee ignores him. On the defensive end, George commits another foul, sending Monk to the free-throw line. This play is very confusing, with both offense and defense being a criminal record. He loses the ball on offense and commits a foul on defense just before the 24-second clock expires. This makes the audience's blood pressure soar, wanting to mock or swear at him. However, after scanning the statistics, they suddenly find themselves unable to criticize because, aside from these two mistakes, George had an excellent overall performance, scoring 30 points with 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block on 11 out of 20 shooting. This can only be described as a typical "George-style game," with moments of smoothness and moments of failure, where smoothness and failure complement each other. It's like getting a full-body massage, humming in comfort, when suddenly a stench hits you, and you see a bowl of hot feces with a bit of diarrhea. What's even more disheartening is that this game was only George's second 30+ point performance of the season. Last time he played aggressively against the Hornets and won; this time... Thanks…

Philadelphia won 125-103 on the road against Portland, currently with a record of 13 wins and 17 losses, securing their fourth consecutive victory and nearing a return to the play-in tournament. We previously mentioned that once Embiid is able to play, Philadelphia has no problem making it into the playoffs in the East. Although Embiid's playing style is soft and he wipes the floor, his ability to maintain the team's lower limit is still there. Due to his fragile body, he uses a guard-style approach; otherwise, Embiid would have retired like Oden. The current issue is still with George. It's unclear whether George's cliff-like decline is due to his age or if his ball-handling rights in Philadelphia are even worse than in the Clippers? George's recent performance has been exaggerated. Today, George shot 4 for 9, made 1 of 3 three-pointers, scored 9 points with 6 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 steal, but also had 4 turnovers and 5 fouls. This is a giant signed for a $50 million annual salary. Obviously, George has proven Harden wrong again because Harden seems to have overestimated George. In November interviews and after two games against Philadelphia, Harden gave his own evaluation of George. Harden said that George and himself are still close, and it's good that he left the Clippers because he's happy and making money in Philadelphia, then he'll get more opportunities than in the Clippers. At the same time, Harden also believes that with George gone, he will get more ball-handling rights and more opportunities. Harden's self-evaluation is accurate; this…

Translation of the article content into English: Jokic is the face of the league today. As a second-round pick, his skills were not top-notch, and his athletic ability was not outstanding when he participated in the draft, so he was not favored at all. If someone had said back then that this chubby second-round pick would become an MVP player in the future, they would have been laughed at. However, he has now become the strongest player from the 2014 draft class. After playing for 10 years, Jokic's total score has exceeded 15,000 points. How many points have other star players from the same draft class, such as Embiid, Wiggins, and Randle, scored? In today's game against the Jazz, Jokic scored a huge triple-double with 36 points, 22 rebounds, and 11 assists, leading his team to victory. As the 2014 draft pick, he has been in the league for 10 years. Starting as a second-round pick, he has become the best player in the league. So far in his career, Jokic averages an unstoppable 21.3 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 7 assists per game, with a total score exceeding 15,000 points. He is the scoring champion of the 14th draft class and also the most accomplished star. Besides Jokic, there is another MVP player from the 14th draft class, Embiid. He was a super rookie back then and was widely regarded as a potential number one pick, eventually being selected third overall. Although he missed early games due to injury, he has maintained top-level personal performance since joining the league. Embiid…
