The focus of the NBA Christmas Day game was undoubtedly the matchup between the Lakers and the Warriors, with top-tier stars LeBron James and Stephen Curry both scoring over 30 points, delivering an exciting game for the audience. Ultimately, the Lakers emerged as the winners and took the opportunity to improve their ranking to sixth in the Western Conference, while the Warriors' ranking dropped to tenth. Due to a significant gap in performance from the top of the Western Conference, the Thunder, both teams hope to optimize their rosters. The Warriors' general manager, Bob Myers, hopes to maximize their advantage of strong shooting ability by focusing on adding shooters. The Lakers hope to add a quality frontcourt player to alleviate pressure on Anthony Davis in the paint. In comparison, the Rockets, ranked second in the West, have a better competitive situation, but general manager Rafael Stone stated in an interview with Jonathan Feigen of the American media "Houston Chronicle" that he will not miss any opportunity to strengthen the team's lineup. Recently, American media "BR" suggested that the Warriors, Lakers, Rockets, and Nets should discuss a four-team trade proposal. If negotiations progress smoothly, Kuminga is expected to join James in Los Angeles, while C-Johnson will go to Golden State to assist Curry. The specific trade plan is as follows: The Warriors send Jonathan Kuminga + Li Kair + Kevin Looney to receive Cameron Johnson. The Lakers send Hood-Sefcik + Christian Wood + the Lakers' 2029 first-round pick + the right to swap first-round picks in 2030 to receive Jonathan Kuminga.…

James Harden and Michael Jordan at the age of 35: A comparison that highlights the differences in their careers. Recently, I wrote about James Harden and Dwyane Wade, both at the age of 35, as they are top-tier shooting guards in the league. Now, let's talk about Harden and Jordan at 35. One is still writing his legend, while the other is a legend himself. At 35, Harden is in the twilight of his peak years, having played 15 seasons in the NBA since the 2009 season. He has amassed numerous accolades, including MVP, assists leader, sixth man of the year, and scoring champion. The only regret is the lack of a championship title, despite having two opportunities with the Rockets that fate did not favor him with. Throughout his career, Harden has been known for his high basketball IQ, ability to play within the rules, and comprehensive skill set, including step-back threes and various Euro-steps. His main weakness is underperforming in crucial moments, with solid regular-season leadership but faltering in the playoffs. This season, at 35, Harden averages 22.1 points, 6.5 rebounds, 8.3 assists, and 1.6 steals per game, with shooting percentages of 39.1%, 35.3%, and 88.9%. He has accumulated a total of 24,693 points in his NBA career so far. Jordan, on the other hand, started playing in the NBA in 1984, spending 13 seasons with the Bulls and 2 with the Wizards. In his 13 seasons with the Bulls, he won 10 scoring titles, an efficiency unmatched in NBA history. His skills were virtually flawless, described as…

On December 27th, Beijing time, we continue to focus on the NBA league. In the Christmas Day game between the Mavericks and the Timberwolves, Doncic suffered a calf injury in the second quarter and had to withdraw from the game. Subsequently, after examination by medical institutions, it was confirmed that Doncic suffered a left calf strain and will undergo a re-examination in a month. Before leaving the game, Doncic played for 16 minutes, shooting 9 of 5, 3-pointers 5 of 3, free throws 1 of 1, scoring 14 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal. Currently, the Mavericks are ranked fourth in the West with a record of 19 wins and 11 losses. Irving just said they were building a dynasty, but now Doncic is injured, which will have a significant impact on the team's performance. The situation in the West changes every day, and with their star player out for at least a month, the Mavericks are likely to fall behind. Let's also pay attention to the Lakers, which makes fans very helpless. According to NBA reporters, the Lakers missed a rare opportunity before the trade window. Originally, the Lakers had a chance to get Valanciunas, similar to the Warriors and Schroder's trade, almost a sure thing. However, unfortunately, at a critical moment, the Lakers failed to act in time and missed the opportunity to trade with Valanciunas. Currently, the distance between the Lakers and Valanciunas is growing further apart, and fans are very disappointed. But for now, the Lakers have to focus on Vucevic of the Bulls.…

Breaking News! Dončić Out for a Month, Loses All Award Eligibility On the afternoon of December 27th, Beijing time, NBA insider Shams reported that Luka Dončić suffered a left calf strain and will be re-evaluated in a month! During the Christmas Day game between the Mavericks and the Timberwolves, Dončić was forced to leave the game due to injury in the second quarter. Over the next month, the Mavericks have 16 games scheduled, and Dončić has already missed 8 games this season. This means that Dončić will miss at least 24 games this season, unable to play in 65 regular-season games, thus losing eligibility for all major awards, including the All-NBA Team and MVP. Currently, the Mavericks are fourth in the West with a record of 19 wins and 11 losses, leading the fifth-place Nuggets by two games. With Dončić's injury, it will be difficult for the Mavericks to maintain their top-four position. In the games Dončić has missed this season, the Mavericks have a record of 6 wins and 2 losses. While this win rate sounds high, the sample size is small, as there have only been 8 games. The next month will be a real test for the Mavericks. Dončić's left calf is an old injury that has flared up again; he missed the first three games of the 2022 playoffs due to this injury and did not play in any preseason games this year. So far this season, Dončić has played 22 games, averaging 35.7 minutes per game, scoring 28.1 points, grabbing 8.3 rebounds, dishing out 7.8…

This season in the NBA Western Conference is incredibly competitive, with teams constantly changing their rankings as they strive to make it into the playoffs! Established powerhouses like the Lakers and Warriors still possess significant strength, while younger teams such as the Rockets and Grizzlies are also becoming increasingly formidable! Over in the East, it might seem relatively quiet on the surface, with less apparent competitive pressure. However, the overall level of competition in the Eastern Conference is by no means weak, boasting several top-tier teams with championship aspirations! Take the reigning champions, the Celtics, for example; this season, they've maintained the highest winning rate in the league. The Cavaliers have been undefeated at home throughout the regular season so far, truly emerging as a dark horse! The Knicks are also performing well, with Towns and Brunson forming a dominant duo. As for the Bucks, although their start to the season wasn't smooth, Giannis is still at the peak of his powers, ensuring that their performance won't be too far off. In the Eastern Conference, there's a team that's quite strong yet somewhat low-key, and that's the Miami Heat. They almost always make it to the playoffs each year; over the past five seasons, they've reached the Eastern Conference Finals three times and the NBA Finals twice, which is undoubtedly the mark of a top-tier team. However, this team doesn't generate much buzz; during the regular season, they play it safe, conserving energy where they can without exerting themselves fully. But come playoff time, things change dramatically, and their true…

Translation of the article content: Originally, I wasn't going to continue creating content today, but I just came across an article where Pippen has a significant opinion about Lillard being included in the Top 75, stating that Lillard doesn't have the qualifications to be among the Top 75 superstars, and that Howard, Gasol, Parker, McGrady, and others are more qualified than him. Regarding this article, I will continue to express my views. I believe that in the selection of superstars, players like Lillard, Anthony Davis, Westbrook should not be included at present, and even Harden is questionable! Many of the older players should not be included either! What does it mean to be a superstar? It should be top-notch in terms of personal ability, honors, and basketball influence! Or they should be outstanding representatives of a certain position, for example, Paul is the epitome of a pure point guard. Although he doesn't have an MVP or championship, he has maintained a high level for so many years. Who doesn't think of Paul when talking about point guards?! For instance, if Rodman can be selected, why can't Howard? They both won several rebounding titles and best defense awards; it's just that Rodman has one more championship than Howard! Lillard really doesn't qualify. Looking at his scoring, he doesn't have a scoring title; in terms of leadership, he doesn't have a championship, and he hasn't even made it to the finals. There are no minor honors for him at the guard position, and his personal honors of six All-Star selections and six…

As two superstars of the era, Curry and Durant both have very brilliant and successful careers, and their careers have also come to the end. Even though Curry and Durant are now 36 years old, they are still the core and leaders of their respective teams, and they still performed competitively this season. As the greatest player in Warriors history, Curry is still the leader of the Warriors this season. Although his state has fluctuated, he is still the most reliable player of the team. So far this season, Curry has played 24 games for the Warriors, averaging 31.2 minutes per game, scoring 22.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.5 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 44.4%, a three-point percentage of 41.1%, and a free throw percentage of 92.3%. Although Curry's state is very unstable this season, he is still the absolute core of this Warriors team and the most relied-upon scorer. So far this season, Curry has scored a total of 540 points with an average of 22.5 points, ranking first in the team. The instability of Curry's state has also led to the Warriors' poor performance this season. So far, the Warriors have only achieved a record of 15 wins and 14 losses, falling to 10th in the West, in the playoff play-in area. The Spurs behind them are only 0.5 games away, and the playoff situation is not optimistic. Looking at Durant this season, he still performed excellently on both offense and defense, and he is still the key player of the team. So…

The Lakers won, the Warriors lost, and LeBron James is still the same LeBron James, as is Stephen Curry. In the world of basketball, there are always new stories unfolding. LeBron James, a name, a legend, a game, 31 points, 4 rebounds, 10 assists - this is his answer. On the stage of the Christmas Day game, he still shines, time seems to stand still for him. He remains the invincible king, dominating the court. In the first quarter, the Lakers struggled offensively, scoring only 6 points, all of which came from James. He carried the team forward, supporting the Lakers' hopes with his own strength, refusing to let them down. Without LeBron, the Lakers might have collapsed in the first quarter, which is no joke, considering the Warriors are not to be underestimated. In the second quarter, James switched to an organizing mode, dishing out three consecutive assists, revitalizing the team's offense. The Lakers went on a 16-2 run, completely turning around the game situation. This is the value of James; he can not only score but also lead his teammates, involving everyone in the game, which is what a true leader does. Consider this: a 40-year-old veteran can still perform like this, which is truly admirable. His professionalism and self-discipline are examples for us all to follow. In the second half, James was both offensive and defensive, capable of scoring and organizing, even delivering a big block, showcasing his comprehensive skills. In the crucial moments of the game, he always stood up, leading the team to victory. It's…

On December 27th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued with the Hawks hosting the Bulls. In this game, the Bulls came out strong and took control of the game with a hot streak, scoring both inside and outside to build a 21-point lead at one point, still leading by 17 points after three quarters. However, in the final quarter, the Hawks launched an impressive 20-0 run to completely turn the tide, leaving the Bulls stunned. Ultimately, the Hawks achieved a stunning comeback, defeating the Bulls 141-133. This game was quite insane, with both teams having weak defenses and relying on their offensive prowess. The Bulls started with a hotter hand, consistently hitting from beyond the arc to take the initiative on the court. In the second half, both teams maintained their offensive momentum, with LaVine scoring 22 points in a single quarter, including six three-pointers, helping his team extend the lead. However, in the fourth quarter, the Hawks suddenly erupted, scoring 50 points in a single quarter with a 50-25 run, completing a 21-point comeback and sending the crowd into a frenzy. Throughout the entire fourth quarter, the Hawks scored an incredible 50 points, with both inside and outside shooting, and constantly going to the free-throw line. The Bulls also managed to score 25 points in the quarter, but they were unable to match the Hawks' intensity, ultimately suffering a 21-point reversal and losing a victory that was within their grasp. The Hawks played incredibly in this game, and it was unexpected that they could pull off such a…

The Lakers have been playing under the pressure of injuries this season, with players like Vanderbilt, Wood, and Hayes constantly out due to injuries. This has left the Lakers' bench rotation short-handed. Although Vincent returned this season, his shooting form has been poor, unable to help the team win games. Instead, young stars like Knickert and Christie have become important rotational players. Due to the severe injury problems within the team, these young stars have received more opportunities for training. The Lakers' "Big Three" exploded with a combined 76 points, 22 assists, and 18 rebounds, while James set a miracle, proving that the new star is indeed very useful. In the game between the Lakers and the Warriors, Davis had to leave the game due to an injury in the opening minutes. James and Curry led their teams in a fierce battle, with the score constantly changing hands. The Lakers' young stars Knickert and Christie exploded in the second quarter, leading the team on a 16-2 run to help the Lakers take the lead at halftime. The Lakers had established a lead of around 10 points by the third quarter, but Curry and Wiggins scored continuously, going on a 9-0 run, resulting in a fierce tug-of-war entering the final quarter. In the decisive moments, Curry hit consecutive three-pointers to help the Warriors tie the score, but Reeves made crucial free throws and completed a layup to secure the victory. The Lakers narrowly defeated the Warriors. Davis only played for 7 minutes before spraining his ankle, but fortunately, post-game tests showed…
