Can a professional athlete leave the team due to family matters? For ordinary people, this seems like an issue without suspense - of course they can. However, when it comes to NBA players, the situation becomes much more complicated. Recently, Andrew Wiggins of the Golden State Warriors temporarily left the team due to personal affairs, drawing wide attention from the public. Fans are concerned about the reasons for his departure, the team needs to adjust its tactics, and the media has not been short of speculations. Some say it's because of the arrival of a newborn, while others recall his father's hospitalization in the past. The exact reason for Wiggins' departure is not important; what's significant is that this incident once again highlights the conflict between a player's "humanity" and their profession under the spotlight. Upon the announcement of Wiggins' departure, many fans worried: What will the Warriors do? As a key member of the team, Wiggins' performance over the past few years has been evident to all. Especially during the championship-winning season in 2022, he was not just Curry's "assistant," but also an indispensable defensive core and "key player" in that finals. When Curry needed a breather, Wiggins could take over the offensive flag; when the opposing star players were arrogant, he was the most reliable defensive barrier. Now, his sudden departure undoubtedly poses a challenge to the team. The Warriors' tactical system requires everyone to play their part effectively, especially versatile players like Wiggins. His absence in several games might well cause the team's record to become precarious.…

Paul George is unhappy with his team's arrangement and publicly complains about being tired of his current role. It seems that George has started causing trouble again before the end of this season, openly complaining about the role set for him by the team. Generally speaking, once such remarks unfavorable to team unity are made public, it usually means that the team is not far from disbanding. Here's what happened: in a recent game between the 76ers and the Pelicans, the 76ers lost to the Pelicans with a score of 115-123. In this game, Paul George played for 35 minutes, shooting 10 out of 22, including 5 out of 12 three-pointers, scoring 25 points and 11 rebounds.

After the game, George was interviewed by reporters and frankly stated that he is tired of playing the five position in defense. George said, "I am used to running, chasing, and fighting through screens in defense. Honestly, I am tired of playing the five position; it's not enough for me. However, head coach Nick Nurse wants to see a style where I use my abilities to block the middle, cut off penetration and passing routes, and match up against big men. But I still prefer to match up against smaller players and wing offensive players." In summary, George believes he can do more. However, data doesn't lie, and George's performance this season has been mediocre! The 34-year-old George averages 16.5 points, 5.8 rebounds,…

The second phase of this season's CBA regular season is in full swing, with a fierce battle between the strong Guangsha men's basketball team and the dark horse Shanxi men's basketball team. After four quarters of intense competition, Brown, along with Sun Minghui, Hu Jinqiu, and others led Guangsha to a decisive victory over Shanxi with a score of 111-78. It is noteworthy that although the dark horse Shanxi team is ranked second in the standings, there seems to be a huge gap between them and Guangsha in every position. Although Guangsha fell to Shanxi's main inside player Liu Chuanxing in their last encounter, Wang Bo did not heavily rely on the big foreign aid Boban in this game and easily defeated Shanxi by a large margin. It can be said that in this game, Guangsha men's basketball team, ranked first in the standings, demonstrated the team's strong strength and excellent tactical execution. Wang Bo's tactic of double-teaming the ball-handler directly rendered Shanxi's dual foreign aid Goodwin and Diawara ineffective. On the other hand, Guangsha's local main players Sun Minghui, Hu Jinqiu, and others continued to perform efficiently. Moreover, Guangsha's main foreign aid Brown continued to play at the level of a top-tier foreign aid in the league. Defensively, Guangsha effectively trapped Shanxi's ball-handler, causing 28 turnovers. Despite being seen by many fans as the biggest dark horse this season, Shanxi was still unable to break through the more balanced suppression from Guangsha in every position. After achieving 16 consecutive home victories, Wang Bo is rumored to continue strengthening the…

Why is a team with four giants being beaten without any resistance by a team lacking their star player? The Clippers' defeat is not just a loss in one game, but a comprehensive setback. And Westbrook, the former Clippers cast-off, has used a revenge match to stomp on his old club's wounds. What makes this game so dramatic and eye-catching? The biggest highlight of this game is undoubtedly Westbrook's performance. In three quarters, he easily scored 19 points, 6 rebounds, and 8 assists, leading the Nuggets to crush the Clippers without Jokic. Westbrook's brilliance is not only reflected in the statistics; he used a "rocking doll" celebration to mock the Clippers fans and waved to the audience with a big laugh when he left the court. Westbrook heard the boos and sarcasm from the Clippers fans loud and clear, but he responded with his performance: "I am the player you abandoned, but I am the winner today." Honestly, Westbrook's performance this season has been inconsistent, even criticized for decision-making errors and chaotic rhythm in many games. But facing the Clippers, he seemed like a different person, playing both calmly and aggressively, as if his whole body was written with one word - "unwillingness." His former club once gave up on him, even willing to make space to bring in Harden, and today, Westbrook showed them that his value is no less than Harden's. This is a revenge where emotions and competition intertwine, and Westbrook won. This season's Clippers can be said to be "unable to eat chicken, but the rice…

In the glittering constellation of basketball, there are two brilliant stars - Curry and Durant, whose radiance illuminates the entire league and has sparked endless discussions among fans. Who holds a higher historical status? This is akin to a war without smoke, continuously burning on the basketball court. Curry, the legendary figure of the small-ball era, was destined to rewrite the history of basketball from the moment he stepped into the league. His games are like a splendid feast of three-pointers, each shot making the audience's hearts leap to their throats. On the court, Curry's agile figure weaves through the opponent's defense, with his adept dribbling skills as if the ball were an extension of his body. His eyes are always fixed on the basket, searching for the best shooting opportunity. When he stands beyond the three-point line, slightly bending his knees, his wrist gently flicks, and the basketball becomes a precise projectile, soaring through a beautiful arc and sinking cleanly through the net. His three-point shots are not just a means of scoring but also a display of art. Looking back at Curry's career, his statistics shine like stars twinkling in the night sky. Averaging 24.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.5 steals, and 0.3 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 47.2%, a three-point percentage of 42.5%, and a free-throw percentage of 91%.

Translation of the article content into English: In terms of scoring, who is better between LeBron James and Michael Jordan? Let's take a look at some data. Jordan made a total of 24,537 shot attempts in his career, scoring a total of 32,292 points. In the same number of attempts, James scored 33,918 points, which means James scored 1,626 more points than Jordan. So, does this mean James has a stronger scoring ability than Jordan? Jordan averaged 22.9 shots per game, while James averaged 19.6. Moreover, Jordan's average free throws were 8.2, which is also higher than James' 7.6. This is the fundamental reason why Jordan won the scoring title 10 times! Jordan achieved high scoring through high volume shooting, there's no denying that! During the same period as Jordan, Karl Malone was second on the scoring list five times, but he only had one season with an average of 20.1 shots. For the rest of his peak years, it was basically around 19 shots. However, during Jordan's 10 scoring titles, his average was around 23.5 shots, which is 4-5 shots more than the second-place Karl Malone on the scoring list. How could he not have more scoring titles? Jordan is also the second-highest average shooter in history, with Elgin Baylor being the first. Let's talk about the opponents faced by James and Jordan. What kind of opponents did James face? The Spurs' GDP combination, with Duncan being the best power forward in the league, Parker being the second-best team, Ginobili being the sixth man, and Popovich as the coach.…

James has scored 787 points this season, what about Durant, Curry, and Harden? The NBA has now entered an era of generational change, with young players like Jokic, Antetokounmpo, and Doncic gradually replacing James, Durant, and Curry to become the new rulers of the league. So, let's take a look at how the veteran stars have performed so far this season. James The 40-year-old James has played 33 games this season, averaging 34.9 minutes per game, scoring 23.8 points, grabbing 7.7 rebounds, and dishing out 8.8 assists, with a shooting percentage of 50.7%, a three-point percentage of 38.6%, and a free-throw percentage of 76.9%. He has accumulated 787 points so far this season and has recorded 8 triple-doubles, ranking second in the league behind Jokic.

Translation of the article content into English: When a capable star player earns a salary of fifty million dollars but performs poorly, they are sure to face criticism and questioning from all sides. In the current NBA league, players like Beal, LaVine, and Gobert are often criticized by fans for being overpaid and underperforming. Beal, the third leader of the Suns, averages 17.8 points + 3.6 rebounds + 3.2 assists + 1.1 steals per game this season, with a value of 250millionover5years.Gobertaverages10.1points+10.5rebounds+1.7assists+1.5blockspergamethisseason,earningastaggering250 million over 5 years. Gobert averages 10.1 points + 10.5 rebounds + 1.7 assists + 1.5 blocks per game this season, earning a staggering 250millionover5years.Gobertaverages10.1points+10.5rebounds+1.7assists+1.5blockspergamethisseason,earningastaggering43.83 million this year, which is indeed very expensive. With shooting percentages of 18 for 3 and 12 for 2, the highest-paid underperforming star in the league has been born, and it seems the Clippers have indeed made the right bet. Are defensive specialists generally less likely to be overpaid and underperforming? Gobert's offensive scoring ability has significantly declined, and his defensive stats are not as good as before, so people think he is very overpriced. Beal is an attacking guard who is strong offensively but weak defensively, relying solely on offense without defense. When Beal's offensive shooting accuracy drops, his 50millionannualsalarybecomesveryoverpriced.Thisseason,PaulGeorge′ssalaryalsoreached50 million annual salary becomes very overpriced. This season, Paul George's salary also reached 50millionannualsalarybecomesveryoverpriced.Thisseason,PaulGeorge′ssalaryalsoreached50 million, with the Philadelphia 76ers signing him for $212 million over 4 years. However, it seems that Paul George has also become an overpaid and underperforming star this season. According to official reports from American NBA journalists, Paul…
