On January 16th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season welcomed a focus battle! In this game, the Los Angeles Clippers hosted the Eastern weak team, the Brooklyn Nets. Unexpectedly, in this game, the Nets did not fight before they lowered and directly rested all their efforts, which was equivalent to giving the Clippers a big gift! The two biggest highlights of this game were when Harden would score his ninth point to elevate his career total scoring record to 15th in NBA history, and another highlight was what quality of game Leonard could play after three games of testing, especially since this game against the weak team Nets presented a great opportunity! However, as soon as the game started, the Clippers played far worse than expected, and the Nets' third-string players also showed no intention of giving up the game directly. On the Clippers' side, Harden took the lead in opening the situation with inside drives and outside shots, quickly bringing his personal score to 8 points, and the gap between the two sides was not large. Harden seized the opportunity to hit an outside three-pointer during a transition, bringing his personal score for the game to 11 points and officially surpassing Wilkins to become the 15th highest scorer in NBA history! The other protagonist, Leonard, also played commendably in the first quarter. In the first quarter, apart from missing a step-back three-pointer from beyond the three-point line, the remaining two mid-range singles were very impressive! In the first quarter, Leonard shot 3 out of 2 for 4 points and…

On January 16th, Beijing time, the Clippers played against the Nets at home. The game ended with the Clippers defeating the Nets 126-67. Although there is indeed a gap between the Nets and the Clippers, many people did not expect the Nets to collapse so badly in the second half of the game, especially after the third quarter when the Nets really couldn't play anymore. On the other hand, the Clippers had multiple players contributing to the score and continuously widened the gap. The Clippers even led by as much as 64 points in this game, and the Nets suffered a crushing defeat. In this game, the Clippers defeated the Nets by 59 points, which set a new record for the largest point difference in the NBA this season (previously the Celtics defeated the Raptors 125-71 with a 54-point lead). This was also the largest winning point difference in the history of the Clippers (the previous record was 50 points). According to statistics, the last time an NBA game had a score lower than 67 was in 2016, when the Mavericks lost to the Grizzlies 64-80. From these data, we can see how poorly the Nets performed in this game. As for the Clippers, they played very efficiently in this game, not only their starting players but also the bench players like Coffey performed well. In this game, except for the first quarter when the Nets tied with the Clippers, the Nets' score trailed behind the Clippers in the remaining three quarters. In this game, Jones also took the starting…

The Los Angeles Clippers made an impressive comeback after the California wildfires, delivering an outstanding performance in their first game since the disaster. In their home game against the Miami Heat, the Clippers once again demonstrated their strong defensive capabilities while also showcasing an impressive offensive display. Notably, on the defensive end, the Clippers have already managed to hold their opponents to under 100 points in 11 games this season, boasting a record of 10 wins and 1 loss. In this particular match, James Harden continued to showcase his exceptional playmaking abilities. He scored 26 points with 17 attempts, dished out 11 assists, and added 5 rebounds, 2 steals, and 1 block, perfectly embodying what it means to be an all-around guard. Under his leadership, the Clippers' offensive firepower erupted. The most eye-catching performance came from Ivica Zubac. The Clippers' center dominated the paint, going 10 for 13 to score 21 points and grab 20 rebounds, along with 2 blocks. Remarkably, he achieved this without committing any fouls. According to statistics, the last player in the league to record 20 points, 20 rebounds, and 2 blocks in a game while maintaining a 60% shooting accuracy and zero fouls was the legendary Spurs center, Tim Duncan. Zubac's progress this season is undeniable. Averaging 15.1 points and 12.7 rebounds per game, with his rebound count ranking third in the league, speaks volumes. His shooting percentage stands at an impressive 62%, placing him fifth in the league. These figures represent career highs for Zubac. Harden's arrival has undoubtedly been a key factor in…

The Clippers achieved a remarkable 59-point victory in an NBA game, with a score of 102-51 at the end of three quarters. The Clippers dominated the Nets at home, leading by double the score after three quarters, which was truly astonishing. While it's understandable that the Clippers scored 102 points, it's surprising that the Nets only managed to score 51 points. Is this still an NBA team? It seems they didn't want to win, but there was no need to perform so poorly; it's too embarrassing. Before the third quarter ended, Tyronn Lue replaced the starters with substitutes, showing great confidence as he knew the opponents couldn't possibly make a comeback. In the fourth quarter, the Nets tried to catch up on scoring, aiming to reduce the margin as much as possible, otherwise, the score would be too unsightly. However, contrary to their hopes, the Clippers' substitutes showed no mercy. They were determined to seize the opportunity and perform well, so they certainly wouldn't let up. The Nets' mentality collapsed, with Cloney being ejected from the game, losing both the game and their dignity. The Clippers continued to score, with the point difference reaching 58, causing everyone to stand up for a group photo to commemorate the moment. Paul, did you see that? It gets worse; the Nets still struggled to score, while the Clippers seemed to score effortlessly, with Coffey hitting a three-pointer and Hyland scoring consecutively, increasing the lead to a massive 64 points. In the end, the Clippers celebrated a significant victory, defeating the Nets 126-67 by…

Translation of the content: In the NBA league, where competition is almost cruelly fierce, every star faces a significant gamble when making transfer choices. They are betting either on reaching new heights in their careers or falling into an uncertain future. Since the start of this season, the situation with the Philadelphia 76ers has been chaotic. Despite having a luxurious lineup with three giants, their record has been poor, with only 14 wins and 20 losses. Their ranking in the Eastern Conference is far behind, and they haven't even touched the edge of the play-in tournament. In just a year, George's statistics and shooting percentage have plummeted like a roller coaster, creating a huge gap that is truly perplexing. After careful consideration, it seems there is only one plausible explanation: James Harden has a considerable enhancing effect on George. Looking at the current situation, Powell's statistics and shooting percentage while playing alongside Harden are similar to George's last season. This raises the question: Does Harden have an inherent ability to magically enhance the performance of frontline players? Take the recent game against the Suns as an example; George shot only 5 out of 18, with his poor form clearly visible. This season, George has had six games with a shooting percentage below 30%, which would have been unimaginable in the past. Looking back at last season, George played 74 games for the Clippers, with only nine games where his shooting percentage was below 30%. Comparatively, it becomes increasingly evident that George's statistics have declined since leaving Harden. During his time…

On January 16th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued with the Clippers defeating the Nets 126-67 at home! In the second and third quarters, the Clippers won by 23 points (37-14) and 28 points (44-16), respectively, securing a total advantage of 51 points early on and ending any suspense about the outcome of the game. Ultimately, the 59-point differential surpassed the previous record of a 54-point victory by the Celtics over the Raptors (125-71), making it the largest point differential in a game this season so far. This marks the top tragedy of the season! The Clippers have also set a new team record for the largest point differential in a win, previously held at 50 points. Before the game, the Clippers were ranked 6th in the West with a record of 21 wins and 17 losses, while the Nets were ranked 12th in the East with 14 wins and 26 losses, setting the stage for a mismatched battle. In the first quarter, Powell made a high pass, Claxton completed an alley-oop, Zaire-Williams broke through for a layup, Harden drove for a floater, Leonard hit consecutive jump shots, Terance Mann responded with a three-pointer, Harden completed a 2+1 play, and Terance Mann hit another three-pointer from outside the arc. The two teams traded blows, with the Clippers leading by as many as 7 points. Harden's career total points surpassed Dominique Wilkins to rank 15th in history, while the Nets closed out the quarter with a 7-0 run to tie the score at 21-21. From the second quarter onwards, the…

A Crushing Victory by 59 Points! Harden Achieves 21+6+11+2 Scoring Milestone! Leonard Warms Up, Powell Dominates the Nets Today, the Clippers hosted the Nets at home, with the Clippers starting lineup featuring Jones, Leonard, Zubac, Powell, and Harden; while the Nets started with Zha Wei, Kloni, Claxton, Johnson, and Martin! In the first quarter, after both teams initially focused on the interior game to tie at 4-4, the Clippers began to exert themselves on both offense and defense with a 9-3 run, leading to a timeout after Harden completed a 2+1. Upon resuming play, Harden hit a three-pointer and then stole the ball for a behind-the-back assist to Xiaoqiong's alley-oop dunk, forcing another Nets timeout. After the timeout, Harden hit another three-pointer to surpass Wilkins, but the Clippers fell into a scoring drought at the end of the quarter, ending the first quarter tied at 21. In the second quarter, during the rotation phase, Leonard replaced Harden to lead the team, his offensive form warming up as he continuously scored through mid-range shots or free throws. After falling behind 27-29, the Clippers went on a 5-point run to pull ahead, prompting a Nets timeout. However, the timeout had little effect as Harden returned and led the Clippers on a 20-8 run to extend their lead to as much as 16 points. Claxton's layup finally stopped the bleeding. But Powell's three-pointer and Harden's layup further extended the lead. The Nets relied on free throws for points, and before halftime, Harden assisted Coffey's dunk, giving the Clippers a 58-35 lead heading into…

If we were to ask fans to select the top five current NBA players, would a 40-year-old James appear in your answers? Don't rush to a conclusion just yet, as former NBA player Baron Davis has shared his thoughts on the matter. The former Warriors player with a beard similar to his own discussed his insights on the five best current players on the latest basketball podcast hosted by Draymond Green. In the announced results of this selection, James did not make the cut, while Harden ranked fifth. According to Baron Davis, in the current league, the list of the top five players does not include James. Even though he had experience playing for the Warriors, Curry was also not included in his top five list! If we consider the overall performance of the season, including leadership abilities and personal statistics, I personally believe that James, Durant, and Curry would indeed face some difficulties in ranking within the top 5. Of course, everyone can have their own differing opinions on this view. Looking at the Clippers' current performance, Harden can be considered to have returned once again, and even more brilliantly than before! With Harden selected in the fifth position, it's also worth noting his past experiences with Embiid at the Philadelphia 76ers, which led to a change in Harden's playing style, and this change has had an impact on the current Clippers. In the related rankings, Tatum is third, followed by Antetokounmpo in fourth place. Thirdly, let's talk about Jayson Tatum! Next up is Antetokounmpo, who successfully turned around…

The Clippers faced off against the Nets today, ultimately securing a significant victory at home with a score of 126-67. This win not only set a new franchise record for the largest point differential but also surpassed the previous record of a 58-point margin, with the Clippers leading by over 60 points at one point. In their previous game, the Clippers easily defeated the Heat, with Leonard delivering an average performance while Harden and Powell continued to carry the team. Facing the Nets, who are considered a tanking team, Harden showed no mercy against his former team, with both teams tied at 21-21 in the first quarter. Harden set a new career milestone, scoring 11 points in a single quarter to surpass Dominique Wilkins' career total of 26,668 points, moving up to 15th place in NBA history. His next target is Oscar Robertson's 26,710 points. After setting this new career high, the Clippers dominated the second quarter with an impressive scoreline. Both Harden and Leonard were on fire, with Powell and Jones also finding their rhythm, and Zubac dominating the paint. The Clippers completely overwhelmed the Nets on both ends of the court, outscoring them 37-14 in the quarter. At halftime, the Clippers led the Nets 58-35. Harden played 18 minutes, shooting 5 for 9 from the field and 2 for 4 from three-point range, accumulating 15 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists. The second half started with expectations that the Nets might respond, but it turned into a one-sided slaughter. The Clippers opened the third quarter with a 29-3…

The Los Angeles Clippers, once known as the "Big Three" team, had fans worried after Paul George's departure to Philadelphia. However, under the leadership of James Harden, they have been playing exceptionally well. Despite a slight stumble at the beginning of the new year, they remain in the top eight in the West and are solid contenders for the playoffs. In a recent game against the Atlanta Hawks, the Clippers showcased their prowess with a resounding victory. The offense flowed seamlessly, and the defense was impenetrable, leaving the Hawks overwhelmed. Notably, the Clippers scored an impressive 45 points in the second quarter, effectively turning the game into a blowout. Harden, in particular, stood out with his uncharacteristic playstyle. He focused solely on assisting his teammates, with almost no desire to score himself. Out of nine shots, he only scored 10 points but managed to rack up an astonishing 15 assists, truly embodying the title of "Assist King." Kawhi Leonard, making his season debut, also made a significant impact. Though his statistics were not explosive (12 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal), his presence on the court created ample space for his teammates to operate. Players like Powell and Zubac thrived, scoring 20 and 18 points respectively, with Zubac also grabbing 18 rebounds. Despite Trae Young's double-double performance with 20 points and 14 assists, the Hawks could not overcome the Clippers' formidable defense. With the win, the Clippers demonstrated their potential and the return of Leonard has bolstered their lineup, making their goal of winning the championship more tangible. The…
