A Spectacular 23-Point Comeback! Lakers End Their 3-Game Losing Streak, LeBron James Explodes in the Fourth Quarter, Anthony Davis Scores 22 with 11 Rebounds On January 16th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season is in full swing, with the Los Angeles Lakers hosting the Miami Heat. Prior to this game, the Lakers had a record of 20 wins and 17 losses, ranking 6th in the West. They recently suffered a three-game losing streak, with James and Davis' states being unstable. The Lakers have a lack of frontcourt depth and struggle with three-point shooting; they average only 41.4 rebounds per game (ranking third to last in the league) and 12.0 three-pointers (fifth to last). However, it's reassuring that the Lakers' current record is still good enough to secure a direct playoff spot. On the other side, the Heat, with a record of 20 wins and 18 losses before this game, ranked 7th in the East, and although their record is also commendable, their team situation is precarious. Butler, the star player, is on the verge of leaving the team due to conflicts with the management. In the starting lineups, the Lakers fielded James, Davis, Reeves, Hachimura, and Christie, while the Heat countered with Herro, Adebayo, Rozier, Harkless, and Hayes. In the first quarter, Adebayo won the tip-off for the Heat, who took the lead with a missed three-pointer by Rozier. The Lakers quickly responded with a strong shot by Davis, followed by a three-pointer from Herro. Christie replied with a three-pointer of his own, and Adebayo scored with a turnaround jumper.…

With today's 19 points, Harden's total career points reached 26,700, just 10 points shy of ranking 14th on the all-time scoring list (held by Oscar Robertson). Turner, the center for the Pacers, transformed into a high-caliber cannon, showcasing both offensive and defensive prowess. In the first half alone, he shot 6 out of 10, made 5 out of 7 three-pointers, and scored 2 out of 2 free throws, accumulating 19 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, and 1 block with a +14 plus-minus rating.

The Kings' starting lineup featured DeRozan, Murray, Xiao Sa, Monk, and Fox, while the Rockets started Amen, Jalen Green, Dillon, Jeff Green, and Shen Jing. In the first quarter, both teams struggled initially, with the Kings breaking the deadlock first. The Rockets responded with two three-pointers from Lao Jiefu and Jalen Green, but the Kings also scored through drives to the basket.

A fiercely competitive Beijing derby turned into a one-sided affair, losing all its appeal. By the third quarter, it had become garbage time, and Beijing ultimately suffered a crushing defeat by 27 points, losing an important match. In this game, Beijing was completely overwhelmed throughout, constantly chasing points without any real chance. By the third quarter, they collapsed, losing by 11 points in that quarter alone. Halfway through the fourth quarter, Xu Limin threw in the towel, withdrawing his starters and replacing them with substitutes, effectively conceding defeat. Such a performance truly chilled the hearts of Beijing fans. After the game, head coach Xu Limin was furious, harshly criticizing the team for not displaying the expected fighting spirit. He stated that the absolute strength between both sides was not significantly different; we mostly lost to ourselves. This is what I most want to change about the Beijing Shougang team. Without this change, no amount of recruitment will be effective; we will be vulnerable in the future. Although the Beijing derby lacked appeal, the stadium was incredibly lively, with both sets of fans filling the stands and passionately cheering for their teams, chanting various slogans. Especially when Beijing was significantly behind, Beikong fans chanted a humiliating slogan, shouting "Replace Zhou Qi," to which Beijing fans responded with a five-word, domineering retort: "Zhou Qi is your father," which was quite amusing. Beikong's past performance did not measure up to Beijing's, and Beikong fans had been suppressed for too long. Now that they have the upper hand, they are fully releasing themselves. Although…

On January 17th, Beijing time, the NBA 2024-25 season regular season continued with the Washington Wizards hosting the Phoenix Suns. This was the first matchup between the two teams this season, with the Suns winning both encounters last season, showing a clear advantage. However, since the New Year, the Suns have been struggling, currently holding a record of 19 wins and 20 losses, ranking 11th in the West. Additionally, there has been infighting in the team's locker room, with some players expressing frustration over their roles and positions. Subsequently, head coach Budenholzer made drastic reforms, demoting one of the three giants, Beal, and Nurkic to the bench, which had an immediate effect, with the team's recent form improving. In contrast, the Wizards have chosen to tank, currently with a record of 6 wins and 32 losses, suffering a 7-game losing streak and ranking last in the East. The team's core player Kuzma has been put on the trading block, but the market is not good, as his performance has indeed been poor this season due to injuries and other reasons; however, Poole has experienced a resurgence, averaging 21.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 1.5 steals per game this season compared to last. Before the game, American media ESPN also provided the latest win probability prediction for today's game, with the Wizards having only a 28.1% chance of winning, while the Suns' win probability stands at a high 71.9%. Obviously, the American media favors the Suns to continue their winning streak against the Wizards. In terms of starting lineups, the…

On January 16th, Beijing time, the Clippers played against the Nets at home. The game ended with the Clippers defeating the Nets 126-67. Although there is indeed a gap between the Nets and the Clippers, many people did not expect the Nets to collapse so badly in the second half of the game, especially after the third quarter when the Nets really couldn't play anymore.

Despite Amorim's appointment not immediately returning Manchester United to the championship race, the Red Devils always manage to create surprises in strong matchups. In the midweek FA Cup third round elimination match, Manchester United eliminated their long-time rival Arsenal while playing with ten men for a long time. After a few days of rest, Manchester United welcomed the 21st round of the Premier League, hosting newly promoted Southampton at Old Trafford. The Saints can be considered the weakest team in the top five leagues, having only earned 6 points after 20 rounds, with no wins in the last 10 rounds, and long-term at the bottom of the league table, almost securing a relegation spot. Adding to this, in the last 16 encounters, Manchester United has maintained an unbeaten record with 9 wins and 7 draws, giving them a significant psychological advantage. In this match, Ugart scored an own goal, Anthony missed an open goal, and Diallo performed a hat-trick, resulting in a 3-1 victory that ended Manchester United's four-game winless streak! Despite the tight schedule, Amorim still fielded most of the main players and set up the usual 3421 formation, with Hoyerun as the center forward, B fee and Garnacho forming the double attacking midfield, Diallo and Mazravi flying on both wings in midfield, Ugart and Menu stationed in the middle, Martinez, Yueluo, and De Ligt forming the three central defenders, and Onana guarding the goal. After the game started, the home team Manchester United did not quickly take control, but it was the Saints who took the initiative first.…
