On December 28th, Beijing time, in an NBA regular season game, the Clippers defeated the Warriors 102-92 to secure their second consecutive victory. This marks the third time this season that the Clippers have defeated the Warriors, extending their winning streak across seasons to six games. In this match, Stephen Curry, the core player of the Warriors, was rested. The Warriors led by 2 points in the first quarter, but the Clippers overtook them in the second quarter and extended their lead to 19 points by the end of the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the Warriors managed to reduce the gap to 3 points at one point, but Harden's crucial attack and pass widened the margin again, followed by two successful free throws to seal the victory. The Clippers have now returned to the top six in the Western Conference standings, while the Warriors have fallen out of the top ten. Before the game, Harden embraced John Hao, the Chinese student who is battling illness, once again. It seems that Harden had invited this Chinese student to watch the game, showcasing his warm-hearted nature. In the opening moments, Harden blocked Hield's three-pointer and also made a successful breakthrough, scoring 2 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists, and 1 block in the first quarter, despite the Clippers' poor offensive efficiency which left them trailing by 2 points. In the second quarter, Harden provided an assist for Zubac's dunk and then hit a step-back three-pointer. In just 6 minutes, he scored 8 points, 1 rebound, and 1 assist, helping the Clippers…

The NBA regular season has been underway for over two months, and the league's landscape is wild with a touch of chaos. So far, only two teams in the league have a winning percentage above 80%, namely the Cavaliers and Thunder; there are also two teams with a winning percentage above 70%, namely the Rockets and Celtics; three teams have a winning percentage above 60%, namely the Grizzlies, Mavericks, and Knicks; and as many as 11 teams have a winning percentage between 50% and 60%, including the Nuggets, Lakers, Clippers, Suns, Timberwolves, Warriors, Spurs, Magic, Bucks, Heat, and Hawks. The Golden State Warriors are stuck in the play-in tournament zone and cannot escape. Rather than saying that the Wild West is getting more competitive, it might be more accurate to say that their own strength is not strong enough. The 36-year-old Curry is tired and struggling, and the Warriors' prospects are not optimistic! In the season so far, the Warriors have achieved a record of 15 wins and 14 losses, tied with the Suns and Timberwolves (both at 15 wins and 14 losses), temporarily ranking 10th in the West, just 0.5 games ahead of the 11th-ranked Spurs (15 wins and 15 losses), and 1.5 games behind the 5th-ranked Nuggets (17 wins and 13 losses), the 6th-ranked Lakers (17 wins and 13 losses), and the 7th-ranked Clippers (17 wins and 13 losses). In short, the Warriors have a pack of wolves in front of them and ferocious tigers behind them, and the outcome of every game is crucial! Unfortunately for the…

On December 28th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued with the Clippers hosting the Warriors. With Curry absent, the Warriors struggled offensively, scoring only 62 points in three quarters and narrowing the gap in the final quarter but ultimately failing to hold on. In the end, the Warriors lost 92-102 to the Clippers, suffering their third consecutive defeat.

Wiggins hit a three-pointer, Dunn responded in kind. The two teams traded blows on the offensive end, with Zubac scoring inside, and the Clippers once led 17-12.

With the miraculous performance of Xu Jie, the superstar guard of the 11-time champion Guangdong team, leading his team to defeat the CBA powerhouse Beijing Control in the capital, the 11-time champion is finally set to make a strong comeback. This is because Guangdong will soon receive reinforcements from two super national players, Hu Mingxuan and Du Runwang, as well as new super foreign aid to fully compete for the CBA championship. So who will be the ultimate new foreign aid for Guangdong? There's a 50% chance that rhythm master Marshon Brooks will join the Guangdong team. Recently, former Guangdong team's meritorious foreign aid Marshon, seeing his old club in trouble, has expressed his eagerness to return on social media. As long as Du Feng and Zhu Fangyu give the nod, Marshon will rush to support Guangdong. Although he has passed his peak, his rich experience and excellent skills make him more than capable of playing for about 15 minutes as the fourth foreign aid. There's a 70% chance that NBL scoring champion Anokye will join the Guangdong team. Anokye is in his prime, physically strong, and proficient in various scoring techniques. He has proven himself as a super scoring champion in the NBL league. If Zhu Fangyu, the best general manager in the CBA, can really sign him, Guangdong will soar to new heights, with its strength improving by several levels. There's a 30% chance that NBA veteran Dennis and NBA No. 1 pick Fultz will join the Guangdong team. Who has the ability to transform Guangdong and catapult…

As we approach the end of December, the 2024-25 NBA regular season has completed just over a quarter of its schedule. During this period, the Golden State Warriors have experienced significant ups and downs in their performance. In the recently concluded Christmas Day game, the Warriors fell short against the Lakers with a score of 113-115. Statistics show that in their last 14 games, the Warriors have only managed 3 wins and 11 losses, compared to their strong start of the season where they won 12 out of their first 15 games. Their next game will be an away match against the Clippers (the Warriors are currently 0-2 against the Clippers this year), and another loss would mirror their season-opening record of 12-3 with a dismal 3-12. The Warriors' recent poor form is somewhat attributed to their tactics being more thoroughly analyzed by opponents. Steve Kerr's player selection and strategic decisions have often been criticized by fans. They argue that Kerr is too stubborn and inflexible, overly trusting certain players, which has led to the team struggling. Examples include Kerr's rotation of 13 players, his three-guard tactic, and his blind trust in Bjelica, all of which have been points of contention. Another point of confusion for fans is Kerr's apparent lack of trust in Otto Porter Jr. During the offseason, Porter joined the Golden State Warriors through a sign-and-trade deal, signing a three-year contract worth $27 million. Last season, he was a key rotational player for the Timberwolves, performing exceptionally well. Logically, his addition should have significantly helped and improved…

NBA regular season featured a focal matchup between the Mavericks and the Suns! With both teams' cores, Doncic and Booker absent, the odds were even, and it was about who could establish their rhythm and which star would perform more aggressively to gain an advantage. In the first half, the Mavericks led the Suns 55-39 with a 16-point lead. Both teams had the same number of three-pointers, seven each, but the difference was mainly in inside scoring, where the Mavericks had a higher shooting percentage and stronger offensive capabilities. In the third quarter, a conflict erupted, resulting in Nurkic being ejected for a 1-for-2 trade, along with Marshall and Washington. The two teams fought fiercely, with the Mavericks maintaining a double-digit lead. Although Durant is formidable, Beal was a liability, and Irving and Dinwiddie's three-pointers extended the lead to 18 points. The Suns did not collapse, and Durant continued to exert himself, as if playing against an entire team by himself. The Mavericks couldn't keep up, and their advantage was gradually eroded, leaving only an 8-point lead at the end of the third quarter. In the final quarter, during Durant's absence, the Suns didn't falter. Although they didn't reduce the gap, they also didn't allow it to widen, holding on tightly. The Mavericks had good offense but average defense, failing to capitalize on Durant's absence, though they did waste four minutes. Upon Durant's return, O'Neal hit a three-pointer, followed by a Grimes answer ball. O'Neal's three-pointer didn't continue, and Gafford had a two-handed slam dunk. Plumlee made free throws, and…

Before the game, the Warriors announced that Curry would not play against the Clippers and would return in the next game against the Suns. It's obvious that Durant is really pitiful, having just lost to the Mavericks today, and tomorrow he has to play back-to-back against the Warriors, still as an away game. Of course, the weakened Warriors had no way to deal with the Clippers, and the Clippers eventually defeated the Warriors 102-92 to win two consecutive victories. In fact, the Warriors started strong in the first quarter, with Harden starting 1 for 5 and not very interested in shooting, while the Clippers' tactics were still the usual pick-and-roll. Kerr's strategy today was to attack with defense, starting Schroder and Hield, two guns who can score without defense. Then Li Keller was promoted to start at the four position, Wiggins at three, plus center Davis. The Warriors were organized by Li Keller and finished by Davis, but Wiggins had poor shooting, while the Clippers' offense was average, but their defense was good enough to contain the opponent. The Warriors only scored 21 points in the first quarter, while the Clippers scored 19. It wasn't until the second quarter that the Clippers didn't give them a chance, and Harden started to take over. Before halftime, Harden hit two key threes to help the team lead the Warriors 49-43. Harden had 10 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 block in the first half, shooting 3 for 7 and 2 for 4 from three-point range. That block was impressive. He fell…
