Anthony, once a forward demanded by former Manchester United manager Ten Hag upon his appointment, has experienced a dark period at the club. In this season alone, he has only managed to score one goal in 13 games, spending most of his time as a substitute. Manchester United is eager to resolve the situation with this underperforming player and has proposed a solution: subsidizing his salary to facilitate a loan move for Anthony. Spanish media outlet Relevo's renowned journalist Matteo Moretto reported that Real Betis is interested in securing Anthony on loan but without an option to buy. Betis is looking for a short-term loan during the winter transfer window to assess his performance. This arrangement is indeed cost-effective, considering Anthony's relatively high wages. By loaning him out with United covering part of his salary, Betis can manage the financial aspect, and given Anthony's young age and peak years ahead, he has the potential to excel. Anthony himself is keen on joining a team that can offer him consistent playing time, allowing him to re-establish himself. Despite his technical abilities, Anthony's physicality and speed have not been favored in the Premier League, where he struggles to compete against stronger opponents. This has hindered his ability to dribble past defenders and create scoring opportunities. A move to La Liga, where the physical demands are less intense, could provide Anthony with the opportunity to prove himself. Manchester United also hopes that he will rediscover his value and can be sold off sooner rather than later.

On January 16th, Beijing time, the Golden State Warriors faced off against the Minnesota Timberwolves in an intense match. The Warriors emerged victorious with a close score of 116-115, ending their two-game losing streak. Following this victory, the Warriors' ranking in the Western Conference jumped from 12th to 10th, surpassing both the Suns and Spurs to secure a spot in the play-in tournament area. Stephen Curry, the Warriors' point guard, had an outstanding performance, making 7 out of 12 three-point attempts and going 4 for 4 from the free-throw line, scoring a total of 31 points and dishing out 8 assists. Notably, the 36-year-old Curry also set a unique record in NBA history during this game, becoming the first player to achieve such a feat since the league's inception 78 years ago. In the first quarter, Curry started strong, hitting all four of his three-point attempts, scoring 12 points and contributing 3 assists, leading the Warriors to a significant 34-12 lead. Perhaps due to the large point difference, the Warriors became somewhat relaxed. In the second quarter, the Timberwolves launched a scoring spree, with Edwards hitting multiple threes to reduce the gap to 13 points. It's worth noting that the Warriors have been in poor form recently, dropping to 12th place outside the play-in tournament area. However, Curry stepped up at this critical moment, his precise three-point shots piercing through the opposition like sharp swords. After the game, Curry admitted that the team has been at its peak for many years and has full confidence in overcoming any opponent. In…

Jokic once again delivered a triple-double with an all-around performance, living up to his title as the most versatile center in NBA history.

NBA regular season continues to compete, the Lakers host the Nets at home. The Nets experienced a 59-point disaster in the last game, and this incomplete lineup did not show signs of a rebound. Simmons initiated and organized the offense, but unfortunately, the whole team lacked a particularly stable scoring point and could not provide continuous output. Russell came off the bench with poor shooting as well. With Davis absent, the Lakers' offense and defense were greatly affected, struggling to have smooth cooperation, and they played relatively hard. However, with James hitting a buzzer-beating three-pointer, the Lakers temporarily led by one point at the end of the first quarter with a score of 24-23. In the second quarter, the Lakers' state slightly improved. They exerted defensive pressure and seized opportunities for transition. Reeves was active with inside drives and outside shots. However, Christie missed frequently and had an icy touch. The team's overall performance was average, and they could only maintain the upper hand due to their opponents' support. The Nets truly took advantage of any opportunity, and their scattered scoring basically maintained the status quo. At halftime, they trailed by six points with a score of 45-51. Returning to the second half of the game, it remained close, with neither team possessing the ability for a decisive burst. It was a difficult and intermittent battle. The Nets, with their incomplete lineup, showed resilience, and the young players fought fiercely, all wanting to seize the rare playing time. The Lakers' shooting dropped to freezing point again, but the only good…

On January 15th, Beijing time, in the home game against the Nuggets, the Mavericks lost to the Nuggets with a score of 99-118. The two teams had just played each other before, and although the Mavericks suffered a reversal, they also showed their strength in the game. This time they met again, with Irving returning, the Mavericks hoped to avenge the Nuggets. This game was crucial for them, as another loss would widen the gap in wins and losses with the Nuggets, who currently lead by 1.5 games.

The second phase of the CBA league is nearing its end, with teams actively preparing and competing in hopes of concluding this stage on a high note. During this critical period, some eye-catching developments have emerged within the league. Guangdong Southern Tigers' recent performance has been remarkable, with an eight-game winning streak shining brightly in their season's journey, which also marks their longest winning streak to date. However, the dense schedule and relative lack of depth in the lineup have placed significant pressure on the main players. As the saying goes, "A good sword comes from sharpening; the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from enduring cold." The players strive in high-intensity matches, but injuries quietly arrive. Xu Jie has already encountered injury issues, and the situation for veteran Ren Junfei is not optimistic either. In a game against Guangzhou Long-Lions, Ren Junfei suffered a recurrence of his back injury, which has become a thorny problem. According to Guangdong media reports, he did not travel with the team to the away game, meaning he will miss the upcoming matches against Tongxi and Shanghai. Despite Ren Junfei's advancing age, his role in the team cannot be underestimated. His statistics of an average of 7.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game testify to his capabilities. In tactical arrangements during games, head coach Du Feng often deploys Ren Junfei in crucial fourth quarters, where he serves as the team's stabilizing force, relying on his rich experience to steady the team's morale. His absence will undoubtedly impact Guangdong Southern Tigers in multiple aspects.…

The Los Angeles Clippers have been on a roll recently, with Leonard returning and finding his best shooting form after a few games. The Clippers then went on to win by 59 points in one game and 29 points in another, totaling an 88-point margin of victory in back-to-back games, tying the NBA record for the largest winning margin. Harden, Leonard, and Powell, among other key players, were able to take it easy after playing just three quarters, with Harden excelling in passing and organization, while Leonard and Powell scored easily on offense, making it difficult for opponents to stop them. At 35 years old, averaging 21+6+8, who is the better shooting guard in history between Harden and Wade? ESPN released Harden's statistics for this season (at 35 years old) and compared them to Wade's, asking who is the better shooting guard in history between Harden and Wade? After changing his playing style in recent years, Harden's scoring numbers have indeed dropped significantly compared to his time with the Rockets. However, Harden's current average of 21+6+8 is something that many All-Star guards can't achieve in their entire careers. This season, Harden is averaging 21.4 points + 5.8 rebounds + 8.0 assists + 1.4 steals + 0.6 blocks, with very impressive stats and team records. It's worth noting that Harden's defensive efficiency this season is 106.6, ranking 40th in the league, which is also the best defensive level of his career. Like Westbrook, Harden has transitioned to focus on passing, organizing, assisting, and defense after his transformation. Westbrook's defense has also…

The dreaded situation has finally occurred. Kevin Durant, due to a left calf strain, will have to miss at least two weeks of games. Looking back at the new season's record, the Suns have an impressive record of 8 wins and 1 loss, temporarily ranking first in the Western Conference, which has drawn numerous praises: "Budenholzer is truly a genius in the coaching world! The performance of point guard Jones is also too amazing, with immediate results!" The good situation has overshadowed the serious problems that are actually happening. People only see the excellent record of the Suns this season, but this rapid improvement in record has come at the cost of Durant's body, seemingly prosperous but actually fraught with hidden dangers. In yesterday's game where the Suns narrowly defeated the Mavericks 114-113, Durant unfortunately got injured. He played for 37 minutes and scored 26 points. At the beginning of this season, Durant was in excellent form, repeatedly saving the team from dire situations at critical moments, averaging 27.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 55.3% and a three-point percentage of 42.9%. Regarding Durant's injury, medical expert Evan Jeffries stated that the key lies in the severity of his calf strain. If it is a first-degree strain, he needs to rest for 1-2 weeks; if it is a second-degree strain, he may face an absence of 4-6 weeks. It is worth noting that Durant had already missed all five warm-up matches of the U.S. men's basketball team during this offseason due to a…

Angry! Irving: Nigger! Get out!‌ Embiid's knee suffered a serious injury. This time, it's completely ruined. In yesterday's game between the Mavericks and the Thunder, facing the top team in the West with a four-game winning streak, the Mavericks were under great pressure. Fortunately, in this game, Alexander of the Thunder was absent, and the Mavericks eventually defeated the Thunder 106-98, ending their winning streak. It should have been just another normal game, but it became a hot topic because both sides almost got into a conflict. Here's what happened. In the third quarter of the game, there was an unsightly moment when PJ Washington pulled down Jalen Williams during a defensive play, causing him to fall to the ground from mid-air, resulting in a level one malicious foul! At that time, players from both sides surrounded them, talking incessantly. There was a dramatic moment when a journalist captured the scene, and PJ Washington's expression was intriguing, as if he was ready to fight at any moment! And today, through the interpretation of a lip-reading expert, we have become clear about the dialogue between the two sides. At that time, Caruso pushed PJ Washington away, and Irving came forward to argue, but was pushed away by Joe. Then, Irving said to Caruso: Brother, don't do unnecessary shit, what are you doing? Brother, don't do this! Faced with Joe pushing him away, Irving got angry and said directly: Don't push me! Nigger, get out! You're not that tough! Joe didn't let Irving off either, retorting: Damn, go back! Later, Caruso explained…
