On October 27th at 10:30 am Beijing time, the NBA regular season saw a match between the Lakers and the Kings. Prior to this game, the Lakers had just won their first two games of the season, while the Kings had yet to secure their first victory after losing to the Timberwolves. This match was particularly interesting as Davis faced his nemesis Sabonis once again. The game started with the Lakers taking the lead by aggressively attacking the paint, resulting in a dream start with a 16-8 lead. However, the Lakers' shooting cooled down, allowing the Kings to catch up with a combination of inside and outside scoring. Monk and Murray's consecutive baskets helped reduce the gap to just 2 points, and the first quarter ended with the Lakers leading 28-26. In the second quarter, the Lakers regained their touch with a 12-0 scoring run, giving them a double-digit lead. The Kings fought back with a 10-0 run, but the Lakers managed to stabilize the situation. At halftime, the Lakers led the Kings by 4 points with a score of 64-60. The third quarter saw a change in momentum as the Lakers struggled on both offense and defense. Their poor shooting from beyond the arc (1 out of 10) and weak defense made it difficult for them to maintain their lead. On the other hand, the Kings had multiple players contributing, and Fox's two consecutive three-pointers at the end of the third quarter helped the Kings take a 94-87 lead over the Lakers. In the final quarter, it was the…

NBA Prediction for November 18th: Rockets Soar to Five Consecutive Wins, Harden Steers Clippers to End Losing Streak Today's predictions for five games were all incorrect, and previously the accuracy rate for predicting wins and losses was around 60-70%. A while ago, I had a conversation with a classmate who works in self-media. He suggested that if I want to pursue a career in NBA self-media, I should adapt to the development of the traffic era. Nowadays, everyone's pace of life is fast, and not many true fans constantly follow the NBA. They only occasionally pay attention to their favorite teams. Only things related to interests will attract more attention. Therefore, during this period, I started trying to develop in the direction of predicting point spread victories and defeats. The accuracy rate of predictions during this period has been extremely low. I completely think from the perspective of a fan, so I fell into the trap set by the bookmakers. I can only continuously summarize experience and hope to improve. There are ten games tomorrow, and the pre-game predictions are as follows: Suns vs Timberwolves (-7.5)‌ Pre-game analysis: Durant and Beal continue to be sidelined due to injuries. Booker has not yet proven that he can lead the team without All-Star teammates. In the last game against the Thunder, Booker shot 2-for-10, scoring only 10 points with 4 rebounds and 4 assists, and the team's record dropped to fifth in the West with 9 wins and 4 losses. The Timberwolves have also been in poor form recently, with 2 wins…

On January 5th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued with the Clippers hosting the Hawks. In this game, Leonard made his debut for the new season, and the Clippers once unleashed a 16-0 offensive on the offensive end, with Xiaoqiang continuously delivering dunks, but the Hawks managed to catch up with the score through their three-point shooting. However, in the second quarter, the Clippers found their rhythm from beyond the arc while the Hawks struggled to keep up, resulting in a 27-4 run that widened the gap, ending the half with a 74-54 lead over the Hawks. In this game, Leonard started, and the two teams were initially locked in a seesaw battle, trading blows on the offensive end, with Leonard hitting his first three-pointer of the season. However, after Xiaoqiang came off the bench, the Clippers suddenly picked up momentum, with Xiaoqiang delivering consecutive alley-oops, followed by Harden assisting Xiaoqiang on a counterattack, igniting the crowd and unleashing a 16-0 run to take a 29-14 lead. Matthews' 3+1 helped stem the bleeding, but the Clippers couldn't maintain their momentum as Matthews hit another three-pointer, Trae Young responded with a three-pointer, and Lisha responded with a dunk, leading to a 14-0 run by the Hawks to end the first quarter with the Clippers leading 29-28. In the second quarter, Coffey hit a three-pointer, Powell scored on a drive, and the Hawks continued to score to stay close, with Matthews hitting a three-pointer and Powell responding. Zubac added a putback dunk, but the Hawks' offense suddenly went cold, missing multiple…

Howard has recently become engaged to rapper Amy Luciani. However, during this joyous occasion, Poyce Reed, the mother of Howard's eldest son Braylon, has been making numerous accusations against him online, including mental and physical abuse. Reed recounted how she became involved with Howard in 2004 while working as a cheerleader for the Orlando Magic, leading to her pregnancy and subsequent dismissal. After Reed became pregnant, Howard only agreed to pay for an abortion before leaving the situation. Reed ultimately chose not to have an abortion and gave birth to their child in 2007. Howard initially refused to acknowledge the child but began visiting them in 2008. During the time Howard and Reed were co-parenting, there were instances where he allegedly abused her verbally, physically, and mentally. These are solely Reed's claims, and their veracity remains to be verified. It would be best to let the situation unfold before drawing conclusions. As these allegations spread online, Howard's already poor reputation has worsened, potentially affecting the NBA as well, given his past status as a prominent member of the league. In a recent podcast, Howard responded to the allegations, stating that he had been paying approximately 13,000permonthinchildsupportsinceBraylon′sbirth,stoppingonlylastyear,amountingtoabout13,000 per month in child support since Braylon's birth, stopping only last year, amounting to about 13,000permonthinchildsupportsinceBraylon′sbirth,stoppingonlylastyear,amountingtoabout2.65 million in total. Howard also revealed that Reed used $200,000 in child support to open a dance studio instead of using it for the child's care. He earnestly hopes she will spend less time arguing and more on the child in the future. Howard then shared his hardships,…

Kawhi Leonard's injury news has been back and forth, but it finally got confirmed today. He made his season debut, and as they say, actions speak louder than words. Indeed, that turned out to be the case when facing the Eastern Conference powerhouse, the Atlanta Hawks. The Clippers' confidence skyrocketed with Leonard's return, and the team's morale soared as they dominated the game. Ultimately, the Clippers secured a 131-105 victory at home, ending their two-game losing streak. We previously mentioned that Leonard's comeback would be a significant advantage for James Harden, allowing him to catch his breath. In recent times, Harden has almost been crushed by pressure. After all, he is 35 years old, not in his prime like he was at 28 during his Houston Rockets days. If it were his Rockets era, Leonard could miss the entire regular season, and Harden could still lead the team to a top-four record by himself. However, Harden's physical condition has indeed deteriorated significantly; he has succumbed to time. The most noticeable change with Leonard's return is that Harden can focus on organizing and setting up his teammates instead of having to do everything himself. However, there is one aspect that seems unreasonable. We initially thought Leonard would replace Dunn's role, but it turned out to be replacing Jones at the power forward position. Tyronn Lue must have had his reasons, but Leonard should ideally play the small forward position to reduce wear and tear. It's clear that Harden and Powell in the backcourt, Leonard at the three, and Jones and Zubac…

NBA regular season, the Clippers defeated the Hawks 131-105. This was a rare easy game for the Clippers, as they were well-equipped on both offense and defense, completely suppressing their opponents to secure an easy victory. After the game, the Clippers faced two joys and one concern. Among them, Leonard's return had a huge impact on the team. Previously, the team was overly focused on Harden, which made it difficult for them to initiate offensive plays. Now that Leonard has returned, there is an additional point of contention on the offensive end, allowing Zubac and Powell to get more open positions. As long as they are not heavily defended, they can freely perform on the court. Moreover, Leonard is still a defensive powerhouse; even though his defensive statistics in this game were not high, he is capable of locking down opposing players by himself. Under this trend, both the offense and defense of the Clippers have been driven, which is why they played so vigorously in this game. The depth of the Clippers' bench is also quite terrifying. The bench scored 68 points, setting a new season-high. Among them, Coffey, who has recently proven his worth, scored 17 points in this game. Little Jones continued to play a dual-role on both offense and defense, with good shooting accuracy, scoring 12 points. Porter has calmed down, with high efficiency, able to handle the ball and control the rhythm, earning 15 points throughout the game. Mann, after his return, also became an all-around presence on both offense and defense, scoring 12 points.…

A regrettable loss! Jokic with 41+18+9, Westbrook departs immediately post-game, Jokic hugs Spurs players 41 points, 18 rebounds, and 9 assists! These dazzling statistics belong to Jokic, the absolute core of the Nuggets. However, even such a godly performance was not enough to secure victory for the Nuggets at home. On January 4th, in an NBA regular-season game, the Nuggets narrowly lost to the Spurs with a score of 110-113. The result of this game surprised many fans and left them sighing. After the game, Westbrook left the court dejectedly, while Jokic stayed behind to embrace and pay his respects to the Spurs players one by one. This stark contrast may be a microcosm of the game itself - honorable in defeat, but the cruelty of competitive sports lies not only in victory or defeat but also in the inner desire for victory. This game was filled with highlights from the start. Both the Nuggets and the Spurs have their unique styles and strengths. For the Nuggets, Jokic is undoubtedly the biggest reliance. His comprehensive skills and excellent vision make the Nuggets' offense flow like water. On the other side, the Spurs boast the highly anticipated rising star, Wembanyama. This young French player, with his height and long arms, is both offensive and defensive, hailed as a future superstar. This game was also a direct confrontation between two superstars, naturally attracting the attention of countless fans. From the beginning of the game, the Spurs displayed their powerful offensive firepower, frequently hitting three-pointers from outside and scoring inside thanks to Wembanyama's…

Overnight! Lakers' James Celebrates Double Joy, Leonard Confirms Return, Butler Officially Suspended On January 4th, Beijing time, the latest round of NBA regular season games have all concluded. In addition to the thrilling matches on the court, several significant off-court developments have emerged overnight in the league, including double joy for the Lakers and James, Leonard's confirmed return, and Butler's official suspension. For the Lakers, they defeated the Hawks 119-102 under the leadership of James, successfully overtaking the Mavericks and Nuggets to rise to fourth in the Western Conference. In addition, the team's new backcourt duo, Reeves and Christie, have been performing exceptionally well in recent games. Notably, Christie has scored 16 points against the Warriors, 16 points against the Kings, 28 points against the Blazers, and 9 points against the Hawks in his last five games, except for a less-than-ideal performance of only 5 points against the Cavaliers. Christie has now become an important contributor to the Lakers' quest to return to championship contention. Regarding James, he scored an impressive 30 points, 3 rebounds, and 8 assists in the game against the Hawks, marking the 563rd time in his career that he has scored over 30 points, surpassing Jordan to become the undisputed historical first. With time, James is very likely to refresh this record to 600 games, making it one of the hardest records to break in NBA history. It can be said responsibly that James, both in terms of statistics and honors, has now surpassed Jordan to become the undisputed greatest player in history. As for Leonard,…

On January 5th, Beijing time, a regular NBA game between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Atlanta Hawks at the Clippers' home court attracted widespread attention from fans. This was because after 253 days, Leonard finally made his comeback. This was also the first time that Leonard played for the team in the Clippers' new arena. Before the game, Tyronn Lue stated in an interview that Leonard would still have certain restrictions on playing time. How is Leonard's condition? Can he maintain the top level of the league as before the injury? After the opening, the Clippers' second score came from Leonard. Harden suddenly passed the ball to the opposite side of the arc during his run, Leonard pressed the defense and decisively jumped to shoot, scoring a three-pointer. Throughout the first quarter, Leonard played for 7 minutes and 18 seconds, shooting 3 out of 1 for 3 points, with 2 rebounds and 1 assist. In the second quarter, Leonard remained energetic, continuously jumping and madly grabbing, with a voracious appetite. Halfway through the quarter, Harden continued to deliver a wonderful pass during the counterattack, Leonard caught the ball and shot, replicating the goal from the first quarter. After scoring, Leonard continuously instructed his teammates on defense while returning to defend, showing great confidence. In addition to the offensive end, Leonard immediately returned to the top level on the defensive end, stealing the ball twice in just 2 seconds, and what was even more amazing was that he didn't even touch the defender. When he received Zubac's transfer pass and…

Clippers Win Big by 26 Points! Harden Scores 10+2+15, After the Game, Leonard Enters the Court to Celebrate Victory with Teammates Beijing time, the NBA regular season Clippers hosted the Hawks at home. The Clippers' starting lineup today is Harden, Dunn, Powell, Leonard, Zubac. The Hawks' starting lineup is Trae Young, Daniels, Krajicek, Lissaj, Capela. Leonard made his season debut after a long absence due to injury. It's hard to say how he will perform in his first game back. However, as long as Leonard returns, it is believed that the Clippers' record will continue to improve. The Hawks just had a tough game against the Lakers yesterday, and today they are playing their second game in as many nights, which may lead to some fatigue for the players, which could be an advantage for the Clippers. At the start of the first quarter, how is Leonard performing? He caused turnovers on defense and hit a three-pointer on offense, even while being guarded closely by the opponent. It seems that both offensively and defensively, he is back at full strength. The two teams played back and forth in the first quarter, with the Clippers taking a slight lead at one point, but the Hawks were able to respond in time and reduce the gap, preventing the Clippers from gaining momentum. At the end of the first quarter, the Clippers led the Hawks 29-28 by a single point. However, in the second quarter, the situation changed dramatically. After a brief struggle between the two teams, the Clippers began to dominate on…
