At 10:30 am on January 16th, Beijing time, the Golden State Warriors faced off against the Minnesota Timberwolves in their fourth matchup of the season. The Warriors had previously won two out of three games against the Timberwolves. In this game, Draymond Green was absent due to illness, which was a significant loss for the Warriors. In response to Green's continued absence, Coach Kerr made another lineup change, bringing in the relatively unknown Gui Santos into the starting lineup. Notably, this was Santos' first career start! The Warriors' starting lineup featured Curry, Schroder, Wiggins, Davis, and Santos. The Timberwolves' starting lineup included Edwards, Gobert, Randle, DiVincenzo, and McDaniels. The game began with the Warriors achieving a dream start of 13-0! DiVincenzo broke the ice with a layup, Hield scored with a mid-range shot, DiVincenzo made another layup, Curry hit a three-pointer, Looney scored two points with a layup, Curry hit another three-pointer, Hield continued the scoring with a three-pointer, Reid responded with a three-pointer, Curry continued his shooting spree with another three-pointer, Hua Zi made a mid-range shot, Schroder added a three-pointer, and Davis finished with a dunk, extending the Warriors' lead to 24 points! Randle scored with a putback, and the first quarter ended with the Warriors leading 34-12 over the Timberwolves by 22 points. In the second quarter, Hua Zi hit two consecutive three-pointers to stop the Warriors, Wiggins made both free throws, DiVincenzo continued his three-point streak, Randle scored two points with a putback, Wiggins scored with a layup, Reid dunked, Davis responded with a dunk, Payton…

The Los Angeles Lakers, currently ranked sixth in the West and striving to secure their playoff spot, are still seeking trades despite acquiring Smith. Notably, the Atlanta Hawks, also a mid-tier team in the East, are planning to establish young players as the core of their team. American media has proposed a 6-player trade between the Lakers and the Hawks. Do you think it's reliable? Here are the details of the trade: The Los Angeles Lakers receive Hachimura (US17million),JaredVanderbilt(US17 million), Jared Vanderbilt (US17million),JaredVanderbilt(US10.4 million), Jalen Hood-Shephino (US3.8million),the2029first−rounddraftpick(LosAngelesLakers),andthe2025second−rounddraftpick(LosAngelesLakers).TheAtlantaHawksreceiveOnyekaOkongwu(US3.8 million), the 2029 first-round draft pick (Los Angeles Lakers), and the 2025 second-round draft pick (Los Angeles Lakers). The Atlanta Hawks receive Onyeka Okongwu (US3.8million),the2029first−rounddraftpick(LosAngelesLakers),andthe2025second−rounddraftpick(LosAngelesLakers).TheAtlantaHawksreceiveOnyekaOkongwu(US14 million) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (US$17 million). If this trade is completed, two main issues in the Lakers' lineup will be resolved. Bogdanovic is an experienced shooter, while Okongwu is a reliable backup center who can meet the Lakers' need for frontcourt size and complement Anthony Davis. The Hawks can continue to restructure their lineup, integrate draft assets, and gain future salary flexibility. Okongwu is a young and malleable center, averaging 11.2 points and 7.4 rebounds per game this season. He will fill the Lakers' center vacancy and likely allow Anthony Davis to return to his power forward position. With Okongwu's support as a rebounder and interior defender, Davis can maximize his impact, becoming a lurking help defender in the corner. Bogdanovic averages 10.7 points per game this season with significantly reduced playing time. This shooting specialist has a career three-point shooting rate of 38.2%, which can solve the…

LeBron James has been playing in the NBA for nearly 21 seasons since the 03 season. During these seasons, he has created personal statistics that are beyond the reach of future generations, and it can be said that they cannot be surpassed. Let's take a look at the five records set by James that may never be broken and are difficult for future generations to touch. Fifth: Historical Scoring King When James' total score exceeded 40,000 points, it had already proven that this statistic would make future generations look up in awe. Currently, James has scored a total of 41,301 points in his career so far. Moreover, the current NBA has strict rules that do not allow high school graduates to participate in the draft, while James entered the NBA at the age of 18 right after high school graduation. This data is probably something that future generations really can't break. If James can play until he is 45 years old without any accidents, he could easily achieve over 45,000 points. Fourth: 8,162 Playoff Points From the 03 season to now, I just checked and found that James currently has a total of 8,162 playoff points, ranking first in history. He has played a total of 287 playoff games. Jordan's total playoff points were 5,987, which is 2,175 points less than James. Seeing these statistics, I myself am amazed by James. Thinking about who among future generations could break this record, it's even more terrifying that James is still active in the league and can still average over 20 points…

The Clippers have taken another significant step in their roster adjustments for this season, officially confirming that they will further strengthen their existing lineup. This time, their focus is on the Trail Blazers' forward, Jerami Grant. Grant's outstanding physical attributes and exceptional athletic ability have made him an ideal candidate for the 4th position in the Clippers' eyes. With a long-range shooting accuracy of up to 40%, he can create ample space for the team on the offensive end. Additionally, his height of 2.08 meters and remarkable speed give him undeniable advantages on both offense and defense. To successfully bring in this tough player, the Clippers have made full preparations. They plan to use Mann, Pigittak, and Highland as the main bargaining chips for the trade. If necessary, they are even willing to add two second-round draft picks to demonstrate their sincerity and determination. Grant's performance this season has undoubtedly proven his worth; he averages 22 points per game with an overall shooting percentage of 50%, making him a high-quality scorer. His diverse offensive skills have earned him the title of an NBA brawl master, especially during transitions from offense to defense, where he consistently displays strong offensive capabilities, bringing unexpected surprises to the team. The Clippers have high hopes for Grant's addition, believing that it will further enrich their offensive system and enhance the team's overall strength. The partnership between Grant and Harden is particularly anticipated, as the collaboration between the two stars is expected to produce a significant chemical reaction. Harden is renowned for his excellent passing skills…

NBA regular season continues, and the Clippers faced a back-to-back matchup today. Leonard was absent, and they were playing away from home, but the Clippers maintained their fiery form. They took a 10-point lead in the first quarter and continued to win points in each subsequent quarter. Ultimately, under Harden's leadership, the Clippers defeated the Trail Blazers 118-89, securing not only a winning streak but also creating a unique NBA record for the 21st century, making Harden's $70 million contract seem like a bargain. The home team, the Trail Blazers, were in poor form. Simmons missed all nine of his shots and scored no points throughout the game. Kamara also went 0-for-5, scoring zero points. Henderson started and contributed 16 points, 2 rebounds, and 6 assists. Sharp played steadily, delivering 12 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists. Center Ayton performed moderately, scoring 14 points and grabbing 7 rebounds. Bench player Banton exploded, efficiently scoring 23 points and 3 rebounds, but unfortunately, the starters dug too deep a hole, and the team was quickly overwhelmed. On the Clippers' side, Leonard rested during the back-to-back games, and Powell stepped up, shooting 7-for-12 and scoring 23 points with 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Dunn made contributions on the defensive end, scoring 7 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists. Little Jones was very efficient, scoring 13 points and grabbing 4 rebounds. Center Zubac performed well, easily scoring 10 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 blocks. Reserve player Coffey delivered 10 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists, while Mann also scored 14 points and grabbed 5…

Recently, the superstar of the Clippers, Leonard, has fallen into deep anger and confusion because he failed to receive a special welfare from the team owner Ballmer - a $25,000 disaster relief award. This benefit was established by Ballmer to commend and reward team members and staff who participated in recent disaster relief work, aiming to affirm their sense of social responsibility and selfless dedication shown in the face of disasters. However, as the core player of the team, Leonard found himself not on the list of this award, which made him feel both surprised and angry. Leonard's dissatisfaction quickly escalated, and his uncle also stood up for him, accusing Ballmer of failing to be fair and just in dealing with this matter, which would undoubtedly have a negative impact on the internal atmosphere of the team. Leonard himself directly questioned Ballmer, wondering why other players like Harden who participated in disaster relief could receive this award, while he, as an indispensable member of the Clippers, received nothing. In his view, as a member of the team, he should enjoy equal treatment with other players in terms of identity and contribution. In response to Leonard's questioning, Ballmer gave his explanation. He emphasized that this award is specifically set up to commend those who actually participate in disaster relief work, and Leonard did not participate in the disaster relief activities due to personal reasons, so he could not enjoy this benefit. However, such an explanation failed to calm Leonard's dissatisfaction. In his view, even if he did not directly participate in…

The general manager of the Lakers, Pelinka, has once again demonstrated his decisiveness and foresight in the trade operations this season. His carefully planned second trade scheme was recently exposed, attracting widespread attention within the league. It is reported that the Lakers plan to send Vincent, Vanderbilt, and a valuable first-round draft pick from the team to the Bulls in exchange for the powerful center Vučević. This trade will undoubtedly inject a strong shot into the Lakers' interior strength, filling fans with expectations for the team's future. Vučević, as the core center of the Bulls, is known throughout the league for his outstanding offensive abilities. He averages a luxurious 20 points and 10 rebounds per game, showcasing his strong dominance in the paint. What's even more remarkable is his precise three-point shooting ability, with a hit rate as high as 44%, a figure that even surpasses that of the Warriors' superstar Stephen Curry, demonstrating his versatility on the offensive end. The arrival of Vučević will undoubtedly become the best partner for Anthony Davis, also known as "Mei Mei," and their cooperation in the paint will be extremely threatening. At the same time, Vučević's three-point shooting ability will create more space for James' breakthroughs, making the Lakers' offensive system more three-dimensional and varied. James has shown great excitement about this trade. He believes that Vučević's joining will greatly enhance the overall strength of the Lakers, giving them the opportunity to make a run at the championship. Although Vučević has certain shortcomings in defense, especially in terms of lateral movement speed when…

D'Angelo Russell is a player that Lakers fans should be very familiar with. Since he was drafted by the team during the Kobe era, and then returning to the Lakers for a second time, D'Angelo Russell has always been a player with a lot of topics. This season, due to the conflict between him and the Lakers, he was ultimately traded back to the Nets. After arriving at the Nets this time, D'Angelo Russell also dared to speak out. In the current program blog, D'Angelo Russell also talked about some things about his time with the Lakers. He said, "I really like Westbrook. I hope that in the future, Westbrook will be able to participate in my show, but that may have to wait until after his retirement. I look forward to him sharing some of his experiences when he was playing big ball. I want to hear what he has to say. He is one of the veterans in the league, and everyone speaks highly of him, everyone loves him." Here, D'Angelo Russell's remarks can be considered quite bold. Everyone knows about Westbrook's experience with the Lakers, which is similar to D'Angelo Russell's own experience with the Lakers, as they both played big ball next to James. They needed to become the so-called "ball-less point guard" that fans jokingly refer to, which made them both quite uncomfortable. Especially when the Lakers' record was not good, D'Angelo Russell and Westbrook were both players who had to take the blame. This naturally put a lot of pressure on the two players,…

Today marks another historic battle between the top teams in the East and West, with the Thunder and Cavaliers facing off for the second time. The last time they met, the Cavaliers narrowly won at home, but this time it was on the Thunder's turf. In the end, the Thunder emerged victorious with a decisive 134-114 win over the Cavaliers. It's worth noting that the Thunder and Cavaliers are now tied for first place in the league, both with a record of 34 wins and 6 losses. This game truly highlighted the difference between the two main players, Alexander and Mitchell. In their previous matchup, Alexander had outperformed Mitchell, although the Cavaliers' twin towers were stronger. Today, Harten was absent from the game, and Holmgren continued to recover from his injury. Theoretically, the Cavaliers should have had the upper hand, as their frontcourt completely dominated the Thunder. With Jalin elevated to the center position at just 2.06 meters tall, and the power forward still being Jiewei at 1.96 meters, the Thunder were clearly at a disadvantage in the first quarter. The Cavaliers took advantage of the Thunder's lack of height in the paint, with Allen scoring repeatedly inside and Mitchell hitting a three-pointer to take an early 12-10 lead. However, the Thunder decided to go all-in, benching their tallest player, Jalin, and starting Jiewei at center to play an extreme small-ball lineup. Alexander went on a rampage, driving to the basket, hitting threes, and nailing mid-range shots. The Thunder abandoned their center and played a fast-paced style, resulting in a…

In the previous game, the Clippers defeated the Nets by a whopping 59 points, with Harden delivering an impressive performance of 21 points, 6 rebounds, 11 assists, and 2 steals. Currently, under Harden's leadership, the Clippers have a record of 22 wins and 17 losses, ranking fifth in the Western Conference. Notably, facing the Trail Blazers in a back-to-back game today, the Clippers have rested Leonard due to right knee injury management. Harden, on the other hand, is playing as usual. For the Clippers, retaining Harden was undoubtedly the best move of last offseason. Analyzing the situations of Philadelphia and the Clippers clearly shows that without Harden, Philadelphia, despite forming a trio of stars, has become a struggling team in the Eastern Conference. Paul George earns a salary of $50 million per year, which was once the amount Harden sought from Philadelphia. However, Harden has proven himself worthy of that salary. At least this season, the 31-year-old Harden has had a significant impact on the Clippers, far surpassing George. As Tyronn Lue stated post-game, Harden is the reason why the Clippers are in fifth place. This season, Harden has played in 37 games, resting only twice, averaging 21.5 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, and 1.46 steals. Offensively, Harden is the core initiator of the Clippers' tactics. The Clippers' strategy centered around Harden has proven effective, as he brings his own system. Last season, George was not entirely satisfied with being marginalized as a role player in a system centered around Harden. Later, Tyronn Lue tried to let George initiate plays,…
