NBA regular season continues, with the Clippers hosting the Heat today. Despite a good start by the Heat, the Clippers suddenly picked up momentum in the second half, putting up a 36-20 run in the third quarter, winning the quarter by 16 points. In the final quarter, the Clippers also managed to suppress the Heat's counterattack, eventually securing a comfortable 109-98 victory at home. Harden continued his excellent performance, with his scoring steadily increasing. He is now only 9 points away from breaking Wilkins' scoring record, and the top ten in history is not far off. Hiro has been performing like a superstar this season, going 9 for 20 in this game, scoring a comprehensive 32 points, 11 rebounds, and 7 assists. Rozier delivered 11 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists, while Haismith scored 9 points and grabbed 5 rebounds. Little Melo Harks took down 10 points and 5 rebounds. Veteran Love started and contributed 9 points and 3 rebounds. Coming off the bench, Veil exploded with a double-double of 19 points and 13 rebounds, but the other players were unremarkable, with the team's offensive efficiency being low, making the loss reasonable. On the Clippers' side, Leonard started and scored 6 points and 5 rebounds before leaving the court to rest. Harden continued his dominant performance, going 9 for 17 from the field, scoring a comprehensive 26 points, 5 rebounds, and 11 assists. Dunn only managed 2 points, mainly contributing on the defensive end. Powell was hot, efficiently scoring 29 points and grabbing 6 rebounds. Center Zubac also dominated Love,…

Many NBA players, after leaving the league, often try their hand at playing overseas, as even a "dead camel is bigger than a horse." Once they step off the NBA stage, they can become top stars in foreign leagues. For instance, former NBA center Boban recently joined the CBA and has been dominating other team's centers. DeMarcus Cousins, known for his fiery personality and dominant playing style, was once hailed as the NBA's top center. However, after suffering injuries, his performance significantly declined, ultimately leaving him without a team to play for. He has since turned to overseas leagues, where he continues to hustle and earn money. Recently, he has joined the professional basketball league in Mongolia. The Selenge Bodons team of the Mongolian Basketball League announced on their official Instagram that they have successfully recruited DeMarcus Cousins, the former NBA top center and four-time All-Star player. Cousins has been relentless in his pursuit of earning money. Over an 11-season career in the NBA, Cousins played for eight teams including the Kings, Pelicans, Warriors, and Lakers. He was selected to the All-Star team four times and named to the second All-NBA team twice. He also won a gold medal with Team USA at the 2016 Rio Olympics. At his peak, Cousins was one of the most dominant centers in the NBA, with solid skills under the basket and a soft touch from outside, excelling on both ends of the court with an average of 25+12 points and rebounds. However, continuous injuries marked a turning point in his career, prematurely ending…

The Clippers defeated the Heat with a score of 109-98, with Harden scoring 26 points, 5 rebounds, and 11 assists. After the game, Love hugged Tyronn Lue, and Harden conducted a sideline interview.

The Thunder this season can be considered the best team in the West, currently they are still able to rank first in the West with a record of 32 wins and 6 losses even without Holmgren, and the gap between them and the second place in the West has already been widened, so although the regular season is not yet halfway through, as long as they do not have a large-scale injury, they have basically locked in the top spot in the West in advance. And considering the age of the three core players Alexander, Jiewei, and Holmgren, the Thunder is expected to maintain their current competitiveness in the future, and even have a chance to win the championship. And when we think back to the last time we saw the Thunder relying on their own young players to show the trend of achieving a dynasty, it was still during the period of the Thunder's three young talents. In 2007, the Thunder selected Durant, in 2008 they selected Westbrook, and in 2009 they selected Harden. These three entered the league and quickly realized their talent, so in 2012 they successfully led the Thunder into the finals, but that year they faced the more experienced Heat's Big Three, and the Thunder eventually lost. Although the Thunder lost to the Heat, at that time the outside world was still very optimistic about their prospects, but at the same time the Thunder first ushered in the renewal problem that made the management very headache. At that time, Durant had already signed a four-year…

Although the Warriors' recent performance was not ideal, having lost three of their last four games, they were still doing better than the Raptors.

Recently, rumors about a potential trade between the Lakers and the Heat have been exciting fans. Imagine Jimmy Butler joining the Lakers and teaming up with LeBron James and Anthony Davis to make another championship run - isn't that thrilling? Magic Johnson also expressed on "The Speak" that the Lakers should do everything possible to adjust for James and bring in the best players. Butler, as an all-around player capable of both offense and defense, is clearly the target they are pursuing. Do the Lakers have a chance to acquire Butler through a trade? Let's discuss this potential "4-for-1" trade and its implications. The Lakers would send out Rivers, Hachimura, Van der Biao, and Vincent in exchange for Butler. It may seem like a simple trade, but if you think about it carefully, such a deal would bring a group of promising players to the Heat, even though they would lose Butler. Especially someone like Hachimura, who is known for his offensive talent. However, trading for Butler would be a big win for the Lakers. Don't forget Butler's performance in the playoffs, which is top-notch. He remains calm in crucial moments and often leads the team to victory. Imagine him playing alongside James and Davis; wouldn't the Lakers be incredibly strong? It would almost be a dream team. Speaking of Butler's abilities, they are not just strong, especially in critical moments, his performance can be summed up with one word - stable. The Lakers have been looking for a player who can help alleviate the pressure on James in the…

In the ranks of rising star players, Dončić is undoubtedly the most dazzling one. This 25-year-old white player led the Mavericks to the finals last season and has been selected for the best first team for four consecutive years. In the eyes of many media and fans, Dončić's current performance is not inferior to that of James and Bryant at the same age. So is this really the case? Let's take a comprehensive look at personal data, team achievements, and honors to see who is better. Dončić Due to a leg injury, 25-year-old Dončić has only played 22 games this season, averaging 28.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 7.8 assists, with a shooting percentage of 46.4%, three-point shooting percentage of 35.4%, and free throw percentage of 76.7%. In terms of team achievements, Dončić has led the Mavericks to the playoffs four times since entering the league, including one finals appearance. In terms of honors, Dončić has been selected for the best first team for four consecutive years, won the scoring title once, been selected for the All-Star team five times, won the Western Conference Finals MVP once, and was named Rookie of the Year once. James In the 2009-10 season, 25-year-old James played 76 regular-season games, averaging a comprehensive stat line of 29.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 8.6 assists, 1.6 steals, and 1 block, with a shooting percentage of 50.3%, three-point shooting percentage of 33.3%, and free throw percentage of 76.7%, leading the Cavaliers to the best record in the league. With his nearly perfect individual performance and team record, James eventually…

The NBA regular season is nearing its halfway point, and the competition for major league awards is becoming increasingly fierce. Take the MVP award as an example; Jokic had dominated the top spot for 11 consecutive periods, with players like Antetokounmpo and Tatum seemingly unable to stop Jokic from achieving the feat of winning four MVPs in five years. However, the Thunder and Alexander have emerged as dark horses, surpassing Jokic in the latest MVP rankings, adding suspense and excitement to the regular-season MVP race. To date, Sabonis is the rebound king, Trae Young is the assist king, Daniels is the steal king, Wembanyama is the block king, Sabonis is the double-double king, Jokic is the triple-double king, and Curry is the three-point king. At the same time, there are subtle changes in the battle for the scoring title. To date, there are four players averaging over 31 points per game in the league: Antetokounmpo (31.4 points), Alexander (31.4 points), and Jokic (31.2 points). Antetokounmpo, Alexander, and Jokic are all unstoppable scorers, especially Antetokounmpo, who excels at fast-break scoring and scoring in the paint, and has also honed his mid-range shooting skills, making him incredibly lethal! According to statistics, Antetokounmpo leads the league in average field goal makes (12.5), fast-break points (5.8 points), and points in the paint (21 points). Despite his numerous accolades, Antetokounmpo has never won a scoring title. This season, Antetokounmpo has led the scoring charts for a long time, which is the closest he has ever been to the scoring title. However, his position is not…
