In the long history of the NBA, there have always been players who are underestimated by people. Even if they retire on the spot without playing, their achievements in the past are enough to leave a significant mark in the annals of NBA history! This season, the league's landscape has undergone a huge change, with the former pillars of the league gradually growing old and losing control over the game! The current league is now ruled by players at the peak of their careers such as Jokic, Alexander, Doncic, Antetokounmpo, and Tatum, while young talents like Wembanyama, Banchero, Edwards, Cunningham, Morant, etc., are already eager to seize the baton! Among them, there is one player who, at the age of 36, continues to make significant changes for victory in pursuit of his ultimate dream. He is none other than Harden, the absolute core of the Clippers! This season, Harden has led this team of underdogs to the top six in the West, which is an incredible feat! At the age of 36, Harden has changed his previous approach to the game, making this season the one where he has invested the most energy into defense throughout his career! This is also the main reason why the Clippers can achieve a record of 21 wins and 17 losses this season. Leading by example, Harden spares no effort to participate in defense whenever he is on the court! As a result of his defensive efforts, the team wins more games, but his personal offensive statistics and efficiency decline. Due to the extra…

On January 14th, Beijing time, as the schedule progresses in depth, the rankings for several major awards in the regular season are gradually becoming clear. Thunder's star player Alexander has become one of the hottest superstars in the league with a record of 32 wins and 6 losses, ranking second in the league, and an average of 31 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block per game. He has also quietly replaced Curry as the best guard in the current NBA. It is worth noting that as the undisputed super core of the Thunder, Alexander has averaged over 30 points for three consecutive seasons. Moreover, he makes visible progress every year, with his basketball skills becoming increasingly refined and his body muscles becoming more defined. This summer, he is about to unlock a milestone-like super feat. According to American salary expert Marks, since Alexander's contract will expire in 2027 and he was selected for the best lineup in both 23 and 24, coupled with the fact that he is almost guaranteed to be selected for the first team this season, or even a double first-team superstar plus MVP, Alexander has automatically unlocked the qualification to sign a super-max contract. This summer, he can sign a super-max contract worth up to 294millionoverfouryears.Accordingtotheannualsalarydistributionofthecontract,hissalaryinthe2030−31seasonwillsuccessfullyexceed294 million over four years.

In the NBA regular season, the Los Angeles Lakers suffered a 102-126 defeat at home to the San Antonio Spurs, marking their third consecutive loss. The wildfires in Los Angeles had postponed the Lakers' game, but they were unable to halt their losing streak. Notably, the luxurious mansion of Lakers head coach JJ Redick in Los Angeles was also reduced to ruins by the California wildfires. The Palisades fire alone completely destroyed at least 5,300 buildings, all of which were villas in affluent areas. Returning to the game, the Lakers and the Spurs were neck and neck in the first half, but the Lakers performed poorly in the second half, especially scoring only 13 points in the fourth quarter, ultimately losing by a 24-point margin. On the Lakers side, Anthony Davis shone as the team's pillar, contributing the highest score of 30 points and 13 rebounds; LeBron James scored 18 points, 5 rebounds, and 8 assists, but also made 7 turnovers! Despite bringing his son into the NBA this season and fulfilling his family mission in the later stages of his career, LeBron and his son have not been smooth sailing on and off the court. Bronny currently averages 13.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 1.1 steals per game in the G League, with a shooting percentage of 36.6% and a three-pointer rate of just 21.2% in seven games. Due to his mediocre performance and accusations of being a "nepotism baby," his playing time has been repeatedly reduced. Recently, LeBron's off-court antics have continued to stir up controversy, with…

To Get Jordan Clarkson, How Much Did Kendall Jenner and Her BFFs Pay? Back in 2014, the handsome Filipino youngster Clarkson entered the Los Angeles Lakers through the draft and quickly caught the attention of many socialites. Chanel Iman, a Victoria's Secret supermodel who had won third place in an international supermodel competition, became the first "Clarks Girl." They were discovered watching a Lakers game together, but this relationship ended before it even began to ferment, with Iman later marrying a reliable man. Clarkson was then favored by Kendall Jenner, another Victoria's Secret supermodel. The two began secretly dating in the spring of 2016 and were repeatedly photographed within the following year. Clarkson, indulging in the gentle realm, became listless, and seeing him becoming increasingly soft, Jenner chose to transfer and got together with Blake Griffin, the White Beast. Clarkson was captured by Hailey Baldwin, Jenner's good friend and Justin Bieber's wife. They tangled for a period in 2016, being found holding hands in public, but they did not respond to the outside world about this relationship. Subsequently, Hailey married Canadian singer Justin Bieber. Jasmine Yeh from Australia, with her sexy and hot figure, has a group of loyal fans on social media. During Clarkson's hiatus, he conveniently contacted her, bringing Jasmine a lot of traffic. Jasmine makes a living as a model for swimsuits, cosmetics, clothing, etc. After a year of dating, Asian model Alie Rossell successfully took over. Compared to the previous one, Rossell's Asian appearance is more favored by Clarkson. Later, Rossell transferred to Lonzo Ball's locker…

Ayton Joins Spurs: Rekindling the Glory of the Frontcourt, Striving for the Championship?‌ Deandre Ayton, the No. 1 pick in the 2018 NBA draft, has been carrying the hopes of the Phoenix Suns' frontcourt rise since he stepped into the team. In his rookie season, he averaged 16.3 points and 10.3 rebounds, showcasing his extraordinary basketball talent with his excellent physical quality and under-the-basket skills, making people full of imagination about his future. However, as time goes by, Ayton's situation in the Suns has become increasingly difficult. In terms of salary, he has had a huge disagreement with the Suns' management. When other star players of the same level have successively received top salary renewals, Ayton's renewal path is full of difficulties. The Suns' hesitation and delay in the renewal issue made Ayton feel that he did not get the respect and attention he deserved. Although the Suns finally matched the 4-year $133 million contract offered by the Pacers to Ayton, this process has planted seeds of dissatisfaction in Ayton's heart. In terms of tactics, Ayton's situation is equally awkward. The Suns' tactical system revolves more around the outside core Booker and Paul, and Ayton often becomes a "baker" in the offensive end, with few opportunities for independent offense. He only averages 12 shots per game in the regular season, which is seriously insufficient for a No. 1 center. In the playoffs, the team seldom passes the ball to Ayton at critical moments, and his tactical status is far lower than expected. This long-term neglected tactical status greatly restricts Ayton's…

The Clippers have recently confirmed that there will be no changes to their schedule for next week's games, which will proceed as originally planned. They will face the Heat and the Nets without any delays. To be honest, postponing games isn't necessarily a good thing, especially when it happens frequently. The most troublesome aspect is arranging makeup games, which can be quite a headache. Not to mention if back-to-back games are scheduled, how can the players maintain their stamina? It's like treating them as machines, and the matches seem to be turning into an endless cycle. Moving on to the Warriors, there's some news to share as well. Coach Kerr has finally provided an injury update, with the most concerning being the return of Payton II. Payton II is likely to make his comeback in the game against the Raptors, but this still needs further confirmation. We all know that Payton II's return won't have a significant impact on the Warriors, as his role within the team is limited. It must be said that Payton II's prolonged injury has been quite challenging, and we hope he can recover soon. Injuries can be incredibly taxing on players. As for Bjelica, he is still dealing with an abdominal injury, and there is no clear information on his recovery status yet. Bjelica, frankly speaking, isn't a crucial player for the Warriors. His inconsistent performance this season often kept him out of the "clutch moments" in games, so his influence on the team hasn't been substantial. The Warriors can rely on their core players…

Translation of the article content into English: Recently, American media outlet "FW" released their predictions for the probability of current NBA stars being inducted into the Hall of Fame, including players who retired in 2024 and those who have not yet officially announced their retirement. Let's take a look at their respective probabilities. Players with an induction probability below 20%: Rose 10.5%, Towns 10.8%, Horford 12.2%, Iguodala 12.6%, Walker 15.1% Among these players, the most likely to be inducted is undoubtedly Iguodala, who was a key contributor to the Warriors' four championships and also won the FMVP trophy. Referring to Billups, who was inducted in the previous two years, such honors are already sufficient to support Iguodala's entry into the Hall of Fame. The most regrettable is Rose; if it weren't for injuries, the youngest MVP in history might have achieved as much as Curry and Harden. Players with an induction probability between 20% and 60%: Gobert 21.6%, Wall 32.3%, DeRozan 42.4%, Griffin 54.8% Gobert has been named Defensive Player of the Year four times and selected to the All-Defensive First Team seven times. As a defensive center, such achievements are impressive, but whether he will be inducted in the future depends on whether he can win a championship. The other three were All-Star level players in their prime, but they don't have any outstanding honors to show for it. Players with an induction probability between 70% and 90%: Thompson 70.2%, Butler 72.9%, Love 73.4%, Green 76.8%, Leonard 77.6%, Lowry 85.7% This category includes five players who have won championships…

The Los Angeles Lakers hosted the San Antonio Spurs at home, with the Lakers starting lineup consisting of Reeves, Christie, Hachimura, James, and Davis; while the Spurs started with Paul, Castle, Vassell, Barnes, and Wembanyama. In the first quarter, the Lakers started with a 7-0 run, prompting an immediate timeout from the Spurs. After the timeout, the Spurs responded with their own 7-0 run to tie the score. The game became a back-and-forth battle with both teams trading leads. The Lakers successfully challenged a call, but Davis turned the ball over, leading to a three-point shootout between the two teams. Davis and Wembanyama exchanged baskets in the paint, but the Lakers experienced a scoring drought and fell behind by six points. James returned to the court at the end of the quarter to help reduce the deficit, and the Lakers trailed 26-28 after the first period. During the second quarter, with both teams rotating their lineups, Wembanyama and James traded three-pointers, and Hayes threw down a dunk followed by a three-pointer from Reeves, giving the Lakers the lead. However, Wembanyama took control on both ends of the court to regain the lead for the Spurs. Reddish added a three-pointer, and Barnes made free throws to stop the bleeding, but James started scoring, and Reeves drew a foul for two free throws before assisting Christie on an alley-oop dunk that forced a Spurs timeout. Upon resuming play, Davis continued to challenge Wembanyama, and Paul responded with a three-pointer as both teams engaged in an offensive battle. Davis was subbed out due…

NBA regular season continues, the Clippers hosted the Heat game has ended, the Heat recently is a winning streak, the state is quite good. The Clippers, on the other hand, have been on a losing streak and desperately need to stop the slump at home, after all, their position on the leaderboard is not stable. They were trailing but managed to turn things around in the third quarter, securing an impressive 11-point victory at home. The key to the win lies in the data: 26+29+21! The Clippers overcame the Heat, and Leonard won by default. The game started with Zubac scoring consecutively in the paint; on the Heat side, Love and Herro hit consecutive three-pointers to help the team take the lead. By the end of the first quarter, they had established a 13-point advantage thanks to their hot outside shooting. In the second quarter, both teams saw a noticeable drop in offensive efficiency, with the Heat's efficiency declining and the Clippers failing to capitalize on the opportunity to close the gap. The score remained close throughout the half, with the Clippers' performance not being ideal overall. In the second half, Harden found his rhythm on offense, scoring repeatedly and leading the Clippers on a scoring run to overtake the score. Zubac also continued to score in the paint. In the third quarter, they completed the score reversal, and in the fourth quarter, both sides became locked in a tug-of-war, with the score seesawing as they maintained their fiery form, scoring continuously. Although the Heat tried to reduce the deficit,…

On January 14th, Beijing time, the Golden State Warriors suffered another loss, leaving many puzzled as to why the final shot was not given to Stephen Curry. Hield, who had a poor shooting night going 3 for 13, continued to force shots, leaving many wondering where his confidence came from. The Golden State Warriors lost by 3 points on the road to the Raptors, leaving Curry frustrated as he crouched dejectedly at the sidelines after the game. He desperately wanted to win, but unfortunately, it was clear that he couldn't do it alone. Statistically, Curry had an impressive game with 17 shots made out of 26 attempts, scoring 26 points with 7 rebounds and 7 assists. However, the weakest link in the starting lineup was Hield, who only managed to make 2 out of 10 three-point attempts. Shockingly, in the most crucial moment of the game, the Warriors chose to give the ball to Hield instead of Curry. The final buzzer-beater attempt left everyone scratching their heads as to why they didn't pass the ball to Curry. Was Coach Kerr's strategy confusing? The Warriors were leading by a significant margin, but in the closing moments, Kerr opted for a lineup with one big man and four small forwards, allowing the Raptors to close the gap rapidly. Even after being overtaken by 3 points, the Warriors still had a chance. With 3.8 seconds left, they trailed 101:104, which was an opportunity to tie the game, or even potentially win with a 3+1 play. However, the Warriors' strategy was bizarre, with everyone…
