This season, the leaderboard for three-pointers exceeding 110 has been updated, with Edwards scoring 158 and Tatum 134. How about Curry? Edwards played in 38 games, making 158 three-pointers with 375 attempts, a three-point shooting percentage of 42.1%, averaging 4.2 three-pointers per game for the Timberwolves; Beasley played in 39 games, making 145 three-pointers with 366 attempts, a three-point shooting percentage of 39.6%, averaging 3.7 three-pointers per game for the Pistons; Hiro played in 37 games, making 145 three-pointers with 357 attempts, a three-point shooting percentage of 40.6%, averaging 3.9 three-pointers per game for the Heat; Mitchell played in 36 games, making 135 three-pointers with 329 attempts, a three-point shooting percentage of 41.0%, averaging 3.8 three-pointers per game for the Cavaliers; Tatum played in 36 games, making 134 three-pointers with 373 attempts, a three-point shooting percentage of 35.9%, averaging 3.7 three-pointers per game for the Celtics; Pritchard played in 39 games, making 133 three-pointers with 322 attempts, a three-point shooting percentage of 41.3%, averaging 3.4 three-pointers per game for the Celtics; Curry played in 30 games, making 131 three-pointers with 319 attempts, a three-point shooting percentage of 41.1%, averaging 4.4 three-pointers per game for the Warriors; White played in 37 games, making 125 three-pointers with 330 attempts, a three-point shooting percentage of 37.9%, averaging 3.4 three-pointers per game for the Celtics; Haliburton played in 40 games, making 116 three-pointers with 322 attempts, a three-point shooting percentage of 36.0%, averaging 2.9 three-pointers per game for the Pacers; White played in 36 games, making 113 three-pointers with 306 attempts, a three-point shooting…

The situation for the Warriors this season has been truly terrible, like a roller coaster. They started at the top of the Western Conference but have since plummeted to tenth place. The team also acquired German player Dennis Schroder through a trade, who was originally highly anticipated. However, it now appears that he is not living up to expectations, averaging only 7 points per game with a three-point shooting percentage of just 26%. He is not performing at the level expected of him, and he has even questioned Steve Kerr's tactics. Schroder stated that he has always excelled at dribbling and setting screens, and he very much wants to play pick-and-roll with tall players, which can maximize his threat. However, the current situation is completely different. He is required to run without the ball, and in short, he is unable to do what he used to do. It is clear that Schroder believes Steve Kerr did not use him correctly, leading to a decline in his personal form. Many experts and fans now argue that the reason Steve Kerr has been successful and hailed as the NBA's best coach is mainly because he benefited from Stephen Curry's peak period. In fact, this coach has no coaching ability at all. His coaching ability during games could even be considered mid-to-lower level. In every game, whoever plays well and has good手感, he substitutes them out. Moreover, he always likes to obsess over small lineups, causing the team to frequently be overwhelmed by opponents, with rebounding being abysmal in every game. Even Kevin…

George's performance in Philadelphia is like a roller coaster, with ups and downs, especially his public dissatisfaction with coach Nurse's arrangement for him to play the No. 5 position, which has caused a great stir in public opinion. Once upon a time, he was in the Clippers, his performance could be said to be at its peak, with an average of 22.6 points, which made people look up to him. However, after moving to Philadelphia, his performance plummeted, making people wonder: Is this still the George we once knew? Coach Nurse's tactical arrangement is undoubtedly the fuse of this turmoil. The decision to let George play the No. 5 position has aroused considerable controversy in the basketball world. George's public dissatisfaction has added fuel to the fire. Imagine a player who is used to chasing small players being arranged to top the center position. It's like asking a cat to swim; it just doesn't seem right. George's teammates were not idle either. Emperor's teasing made people laugh: "If you don't play center, should I, a 2.13-meter-tall small guard, go to the No. 5 position?" Behind this joke lies the team's helplessness and confusion about George's position arrangement. Media comments have further escalated this turmoil. Clippers reporter Esnaashari pointed out mercilessly: "Under the circumstances of poor team performance, George actually dared to say such words, which is too outrageous." These words are undoubtedly questioning George's professional attitude. However, in the game against the Pelicans, George contributed 25 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals, seemingly responding to external doubts with…

Undoubtedly, the current Thunder team is brimming with vitality and talent, but how far can they go in the playoffs? The Thunder currently leads the West with a record of 31 wins and 6 losses, but their recent three defeats against the Rockets, Bucks, and Cavaliers have exposed their shortcomings when facing strong opponents. The Thunder is full of potential, boasting many young players who have yet to reach their peak. The biggest challenge for the Thunder is whether these young players can support them in advancing to the Finals. Last year in the playoffs, they were defeated by the more experienced Mavericks. If Thunder General Manager Sam Presti believes that the team needs to bring in an All-Star veteran to help them progress further, he undoubtedly has sufficient draft picks as bargaining chips. Choosing to bring back Kevin Durant, the former star who led the team to the Finals, would undoubtedly be the best choice. Durant's current team, the Suns, is currently in trouble, providing the Thunder with an opportunity to acquire him. If the 36-year-old Durant wants to elevate his historical status, he needs to continue competing for championships, and returning to the Thunder would also be the best choice. What assets can the Thunder offer to bring back Durant? American media outlet "FW" special correspondent Colin Keane has provided a simulated trade proposal between the two teams: Thunder Acquires: Kevin Durant - Annual salary of 51.18 million, contract until 2026, averaging 27.1 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 0.7 steals, and 1.3 blocks this season, with shooting percentages…

Four Consecutive Wins! Green Scores 42+5, Morant Makes 11 of 24 Shots, New Star Rises in Rockets, Grizzlies Suffer Third Defeat By Lao Kan Kan Qiu | Edited by Lao Kan Kan Qiu On January 14th, Beijing time, the NBA 2024-25 season regular season welcomes a key match in the Western Conference, with the Houston Rockets hosting the Memphis Grizzlies. This is the third confrontation between the two teams this season, and the previous two encounters were won by the Rockets, showing a clear advantage. Obviously, the Rockets are indeed strong this season, with the continuous rise of new stars within the team, which has raised the depth of the lineup to a new level. Currently, the team has a record of 25 wins and 12 losses, achieving a three-game winning streak, ranking second in the West, just behind the Thunder. The reason for their impressive performance is closely related to their defense. The data shows that so far this season, the Rockets have an average of 107.1 points conceded and a defensive efficiency of 107.0, both ranking among the top three in the league. In contrast, the Grizzlies are also a dark horse in the West, currently with a record of 25 wins and 14 losses, ranking third in the West. Obviously, this is a crucial battle for positioning, and neither team wants to lose. Before the game, American media ESPN also gave the latest win rate prediction for today's game, with the Rockets having a win rate as high as 51.1%, while the Grizzlies' win rate is only…

Don't ask me this question anymore! Udoka doesn't want to answer questions about Ison's injury situation again. He has repeatedly stated that there have been no changes and no specific timetable for his return. Because Ison can't play, Amane is promoted to the starting lineup. Although Udoka does not appreciate Whitmore's playing style, he still has to use him. Of course, Udoka will also constantly look for opportunities to discipline Whitmore to demonstrate his authority within the Rockets team. Udoka said in an interview that Sheppard scored 49 points in a single game in the Development League but was not selfish and did not force anything. Udoka suggests to Sheppard: "Be aggressive on offense, be confident, and be more decisive in certain aspects. As I said, he needs to control the rhythm of the game and find shooting opportunities through a lot of practice while also accepting some defensive challenges." Udoka also said: "We have seen similar situations with Whitmore. Many times, some players' states stagnate when they get less playing time, but once they truly get the opportunity to play in actual combat, they can quickly enter the state." Udoka admits that Jalen Green is a player with strong scoring ability and hopes he can maintain stability. The Rockets narrowly defeated the Grizzlies to win their 26th game of the season. Jalen Green scored 42 points with 3 rebounds and 4 assists, shooting 13 of 18 from the field, 5 of 6 from three-point range, and a plus-minus of +8. His performance in this game surpassed his older brother…

The Houston Rockets announced before their home game against the Memphis Grizzlies that their forward Tari Eason would continue to miss the game. Although Eason has now resumed training, and coach Udoka has increased the intensity of his training on non-game days, it must be said that Eason is still plagued by injuries. He may not be able to play for the Rockets for a while. Although Eason's current injury is not serious, last season's serious injury left him with psychological scars, and he still occasionally feels pain in his left leg. Udoka said he doesn't know when Eason will be able to officially return to the team and play, so Eason has now missed 12 games, and no one knows if he will be able to play in the next game. The Rockets' small forward Jabari Smith has also been out for a week, and may have to miss another month or so before he can play again. The Rockets' schedule in January was already quite tough, with a dense schedule and facing many playoff-level strong teams. However, surprisingly, the Rockets did not fall into a losing streak as a result. Under Udoka's leadership, this team not only had a very good record in January, but after defeating the Grizzlies, they also welcomed a four-game winning streak, maintaining their position at second in the West, with their lead over the third-placed Grizzlies expanding to two wins. This was unexpected by everyone, as many people thought that with the Rockets' weakened lineup and facing so many strong teams, they were…

Recently, Westbrook has been performing exceptionally well. Since entering 2025, he has been averaging 08+8+8, compensating for Murray's subpar form. Although he still occasionally makes mistakes, overall, Westbrook has returned to being an MVP-level player. Due to his outstanding performance, there has been widespread attention on whether he can stay with the Nuggets. Because of Westbrook's excellent state, it has recently been reported that the Nuggets management has offered him a contract extension. This is a two-year contract worth between 28millionand28 million and 28millionand30 million, with a trade penalty clause included. For the Nuggets, this offer is full of sincerity, as they have no salary cap space left; this is the largest contract they can offer. However, if Westbrook signs such a contract, it will make it even more difficult for the Nuggets to strengthen their team next season. In terms of amount, this contract offer may not fully match the immense value Westbrook brings to the team. But considering Westbrook's age and that his aspirations do not lie in big contracts, this contract still feels respectful to him. Whether Westbrook stays or not has absolutely nothing to do with the contract amount. Westbrook has found a new sense of belonging with the Nuggets. He has good chemistry with Jokic, and the team has the potential to compete for the championship. For a veteran aiming to win a title, the allure of a championship might be more important than money. Therefore, whether Westbrook stays with the Nuggets largely depends on the team's performance this season. If the Nuggets win the…

The NBA league is always full of unexpected events, as it is a commercial stage where all team owners aim to make money, and players come here as workers. Therefore, we should not be surprised by anything that happens. The Golden State Warriors are undoubtedly one of the most successful teams in the 21st century, having won four championship trophies after the year 2010. Stephen Curry has also risen to become one of the top 15 players in history, and some fans and media even believe he has become the gatekeeper of the top 10 in history. However, the Warriors have recently been experiencing difficulties, suffering from the aftermath of winning championships, and they may even fail to enter the playoffs. After winning the championship in 2022, the Warriors retained their starting lineup, but they let go of many role players who were indispensable. Once these players left, it was difficult to replace them. Last season, the Warriors did not make it to the playoffs, which put them under intense scrutiny. Many fans believed that Curry's NBA career would not yield a fifth championship, and this season has seen a cliff-like decline for Curry, losing his peak sharpness. At this critical moment, American media proposed a trade plan for the Warriors: sending Andrew Wiggins, Bjelica, and a first-round pick to acquire Jimmy Butler. This trade plan is quite feasible, as the Heat need young talent, while the Warriors need immediate combat power, making it a win-win situation. Butler averages 17.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.2 steals per game,…

The Golden State Warriors have fallen to 12th place in the Western Conference after a 101-104 loss to the Toronto Raptors, dropping out of the playoff qualification zone with a record of 19 wins and 20 losses, which is now below a 50% win rate. If Warrior fans are feeling particularly disheartened, they might find some solace in looking at their neighbors, the Lakers fans who have to wear masks when they go out due to the Los Angeles wildfires. The Lakers, who had a five-day break because of the fires, were expected to be well-rested but instead performed poorly, losing 102-126 to the San Antonio Spurs with a disastrous fourth quarter where they only scored 13 points while conceding 37. Not all Lakers players were underperforming, however; Anthony Davis stood out with an impressive performance, scoring 30 points and grabbing 13 rebounds (including 8 offensive rebounds) along with 2 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks, although it wasn't enough to save the team from defeat. Despite their current struggles, the Lakers are still in a slightly better position than the Warriors, holding the 7th spot in the West with a record of 20 wins and 17 losses. However, they need to be cautious as they could easily slip out of the playoff qualification zone if they're not careful. It's clear that both these high-profile teams need to make changes to improve their current situations. What changes are needed? During the season, the best way to improve is often through recruitment. Both the Warriors and the Lakers currently lack a…
