Liaoning Team has recently made a big move, with fans still discussing the registration of Patton, the team has made headlines by signing James Webb, completing their roster of four foreign players, indicating they are serious about the game. Webb, who has had an interesting career in basketball circles, has traveled from the NBA to Europe and now to the CBA, accumulating a wealth of experience along the way. He performed well in the Turkish league, averaging over 15 points per game, with six or seven rebounds, and a shockingly high three-point shooting percentage, ranking first in efficiency. Webb shares a history with Liaoning's another foreign player, Fugge, as they both wore the American team's jersey during the Americas Cup, and now they meet again in Liaoning. Due to unpaid wages in Turkey, Webb was unhappy, and Liaoning seized the opportunity, finalizing the contract within three hours. Liaoning has invested significantly, buying out Webb's contract outright in a decisive move. The team offered Webb generous terms, signing him until the end of the season without any trial periods, aiming to keep him firmly within the squad. This decision is strategic, as Webb is highly sought after in Europe, and Liaoning's swift action is quite commendable. Webb is a versatile player, capable in both scoring and defense, and his ability to dribble despite his height is rare among big men. Liaoning's frontline has been problematic, with inconsistent performances from Fu Hao and Li Xiaoxu, and Zhang Zhenlin's injury. Webb's arrival will provide much-needed support. With strong foreign forwards like Lofton from…

On January 7th, Beijing time, a game with five controversial calls all went against the Clippers! This is the real black whistle. The Lakers should stop complaining about being wronged. They didn't find any money, so they considered it a loss. Why don't they compare themselves to the Clippers? Previously, the Lakers lost in the final moments against the Rockets. After the game, James led the head coach in crying foul, claiming that the referees were targeting them and even mocked the Rockets for flopping. However, after the release of the referee report, it was found that there were no incorrect or missed calls, leaving James brutally humiliated. Now, in contrast, their city rivals, the Clippers, have truly been targeted by the referees, with five controversial whistles that were very unfavorable to the Clippers. This is really impossible to play. Harden was called for three offensive fouls in one game. The biggest loss was at 7 minutes and 15 seconds in the third quarter when Leonard was subbed out. Originally, Harden had made a beautiful pass to the corner for Leonard to complete a three-pointer, but the referee blew his whistle for an offensive foul, and the three points were gone. Harden looked confused and helpless, and finally threw up his hands in utter despair. This was the most controversial moment. The ball went in but was blown off. Harden couldn't help but throw up his hands. Compared to the Lakers' so-called controversies at the time, it's ridiculous that Harden was called for an offensive foul. Because the two opponents…

On January 6th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continues. With the trade deadline officially approaching, teams in the league are gradually shifting their focus to the trade market to make a final push towards their goals. Among them, Butler of the Heat is undoubtedly the most sought-after player in the trade market so far. Due to an irreconcilable conflict with Riley during the offseason, Butler has repeatedly expressed his intention to leave this season, and even named several Western Conference teams he hopes to join through his agent's mouth. It is precisely because of Butler's arrogance that the Heat management has attributed the team's current situation entirely to Butler's demoralizing influence, and has punished him with a seven-game suspension and salary stoppage, while also completely giving up and being willing to listen to offers for Butler. So how can a trade be made to maximize Butler's value? Anyway, the latter has made it clear that he wants to play anywhere other than Miami, so the initiative lies with the Heat. To this end, the American media "hoopshabit" has provided a constructive 4-for-1 trade idea for the Heat. The specific proposal is as follows: The Rockets can use Dillon + Adams + Little Jabari + first-round pick to trade for Butler. 4-for-1, farewell Butler! An epic trade plan has been unveiled, and the Rockets want to form the strongest four giants luxury lineup to fully compete for the championship. How will other teams compete? To be serious, the Rockets, as one of the favorites to win the championship this season,…

The Clippers embarked on a two-game road trip with Leonard continuing to play. Ultimately, the Clippers lost 106-108 to the Timberwolves on the road, ending the latter's three-game losing streak. Today, facing the Timberwolves, Clippers fans might say, "What kind of game was that?" They were once up by 19 points but were reversed by the Timberwolves. Edwards is really good; he hit two consecutive three-pointers in the final moments, completely dominating the court, which is quite impressive. In the end, Hua Zi's performance against the Clippers somewhat resembled his previous game against the Rockets. The Timberwolves were down by 16 points in the fourth quarter, and Hua Zi fought back point by point. Then Edwards faced the Rockets' tight defense and made the game-winning three-pointer. It was the same today against the Clippers; everyone knew Hua Zi would shoot, but you just couldn't defend him. In the final two possessions, Powell broke through for a 2+1 to help the Clippers take the lead. However, Edwards immediately responded with a three-pointer, and then the Clippers missed their shot. Tyronn Lue had Harden double-team Hua Zi, but Hua Zi still made the three-pointer despite facing two defenders, effectively ending the game for the Clippers. Honestly, the Clippers didn't lose unfairly; Edwards was truly remarkable. However, being reversed from such a significant lead also indicates the Clippers' offensive instability. Moreover, Tyronn Lue's arrangements were problematic; the starting lineup remained unchanged at the beginning, with Harden and Dunn as the backcourt partners, Powell assigned to the three-spot to increase firepower, and Leonard, who…

LeBron James, since being selected by the Cavaliers in 03, can divide his entire career into four stages: the Cavaliers 1.0 period from 03-10 with 7 seasons, the Heat period from 10-14 with 4 seasons, the Cavaliers 2.0 period from 14-18 with 4 seasons, and the Lakers period from 18-24 with this season marking the start of his 7th season! As a typical example of reaching peak performance right from his debut, even in his 22nd season, he still manages to average 24 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 8.9 assists with shooting percentages of 50/38/76%! He has already set a series of NBA historical records, and as long as he continues to play one more game, he will extend the longest record in NBA history. In our impression, James has always been known for his versatility, but we often overlook his scoring ability! During the Cavaliers 1.0 period, he was selected by the Cavaliers with the status of a prodigy, averaging 39.5 minutes per game in his rookie season with 20.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.9 assists, which is also the lowest scoring average of his career. By the second season, his average stats skyrocketed to 27.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 7.2 assists, with all stats significantly improving as the Cavaliers returned to the playoffs. In the following five seasons, he delivered averages of 31.4 points, 7 rebounds, and 6.6 assists; 27.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 6 assists; 30 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 7.2 assists; 28.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 7.2 assists; and 29.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 7.2 assists! During…

The Lakers have climbed to fourth place in the Western Conference, which should be a cause for celebration. However, questions arise: can the team's future be secured solely by a 38-year-old LeBron James? In recent days, media suggestions have emerged that the Lakers should pursue James Harden as an opportunity to enhance their competitiveness. But is this truly a lifeline for the Lakers, or a double-edged sword that could harm them? The answer is not straightforward. LeBron James' performance is impeccable. Despite nearing 40 years of age, he continues to lead the team in critical moments, from fast-break dunks to step-back three-pointers, demonstrating both strength and precision when needed. Without him, the Lakers might not even secure a playoff spot. However, the reality is that James is not an inexhaustible machine. This season, he has taken on excessive playing time and scoring responsibilities. If the Lakers do not alleviate his burden, it is uncertain whether his body can hold up until the end of the season. The early-season slump was a reminder to the Lakers' management that even a 38-year-old James needs rest. Managing fatigue has become a challenge for the Lakers. If they cannot plan rotations effectively, James may underperform during the playoffs when he is most needed. Introducing a versatile guard like Harden seems like a viable idea; he could relieve James of some organizational pressure and provide another stable scoring option in key games. Beyond James' efforts, the Lakers' management has not been idle. They have acquired Smith and Milton through trades, significantly enhancing the team's depth.…

The Lakers are rumored to be going all-in with a massive 15-player trade that has set the NBA world ablaze. It's said that they're planning a "four-team trade" involving the Lakers, Hawks, Nets, and Trail Blazers, with the ultimate goal of acquiring key players to build a team centered around Trae Young and Anthony Davis, while also transitioning LeBron James into a supporting role as the "third man." This news has sparked intense debate among fans: Is this a life-or-death gamble for the Lakers, or a strategic move? It's undeniable that such a large-scale trade carries significant risks and pressure, and one misstep could turn a bold bet into a costly loss. To understand the logic behind this potential trade, we must first consider the Lakers' current situation. The team has long struggled with roster issues, and this season has been another harsh lesson. Their mediocre record, limited salary cap space, and the looming end of James' career have pushed the management to take a big swing. However, this rebuilding demand didn't come from the management alone but was commissioned by the team's dual-core leaders. LeBron James and Anthony Davis are the cornerstones of the team, but their current state is concerning. James, at 38, remains formidable but is showing signs of strain from carrying the offensive and organizational load. He urgently needs a young, creative backcourt player to share the burden. Davis, on the other hand, has requested a teammate who can bolster the frontline and reduce his physical toll (not to mention his injury-prone physique). For James and…

On January 7th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season saw the Clippers suffer a heartbreaking 19-point comeback defeat against the Timberwolves, losing 106-108. James Harden had a mixed performance, shooting 8 for 22 from the field, including 3 of 11 from beyond the arc, finishing with 22 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks. However, he was also called for three offensive fouls, which sparked some controversy. Kawhi Leonard, on the other hand, was limited to just 21 minutes due to a playing time restriction. He shot 3 for 11, including 2 of 5 from three-point range, scoring 8 points with 2 rebounds and 2 assists. In the fourth quarter, Leonard was seen yawning on the bench, appearing fatigued. This was the third meeting between the Clippers and the Timberwolves this season. The Clippers started the first quarter trailing 4-7 but quickly fought back. Leonard hit a three-pointer, Harden made a layup, Zubac scored 2 points, and Leonard followed up with a put-back basket, leading to an 11-0 run that turned the game around. Facing the Timberwolves' counterattack, Harden assisted Leonard in hitting a three-pointer to match McDaniel's shot. Harden also made a step-back mid-range jumper and a driving layup, helping the Clippers lead 27-16 after the first quarter. Harden played the entire first quarter, scoring 6 points, 3 assists, and 2 rebounds, while Leonard had 8 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists. In the second quarter, the Clippers led by as many as 19 points before the Timberwolves responded with an 8-1 run. Powell stopped the…

Brunson has been performing well with the Knicks, becoming a qualified star player. After Randle was out last season, Brunson led the Knicks to remarkable achievements. They made it all the way to second place in the East and successfully advanced to the playoffs. The playoff journey was full of excitement and thrills. In the first round against the 76ers led by Embiid, the Knicks eliminated them with their strong strength. In the second round against the Pacers, the situation was also promising, with consecutive victories in the first two games (G1, G2). However, fate began to play tricks, and injuries plagued the team like a shadow, with key players getting injured one after another. Under such circumstances, it became extremely difficult to maintain a winning streak. Ultimately, the Knicks lost to the Pacers with a score of 3-4, missing out on the Eastern Conference Finals. However, this could not overshadow Brunson's brilliance in the playoffs. In 13 games, he averaged 32.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 7.5 assists, with a shooting percentage of 44.4%, which is completely at the top level of the league. Before the start of the new season, the Knicks made a blockbuster trade. They reached an agreement with the Timberwolves, sending Randle and DiVincenzo in exchange for Towns. At that time, many people thought that Towns would be a supporting role to Brunson in the Knicks, just like how he supported Edwards in the Timberwolves. However, things developed unexpectedly, and Towns shone brightly after joining the Knicks. His performance on the court was quite impressive, and…
