Angry! Irving: Nigger! Get out!‌ Embiid's knee suffered a serious injury. This time, it's completely ruined. In yesterday's game between the Mavericks and the Thunder, facing the top team in the West with a four-game winning streak, the Mavericks were under great pressure. Fortunately, in this game, Alexander of the Thunder was absent, and the Mavericks eventually defeated the Thunder 106-98, ending their winning streak. It should have been just another normal game, but it became a hot topic because both sides almost got into a conflict. Here's what happened. In the third quarter of the game, there was an unsightly moment when PJ Washington pulled down Jalen Williams during a defensive play, causing him to fall to the ground from mid-air, resulting in a level one malicious foul! At that time, players from both sides surrounded them, talking incessantly. There was a dramatic moment when a journalist captured the scene, and PJ Washington's expression was intriguing, as if he was ready to fight at any moment! And today, through the interpretation of a lip-reading expert, we have become clear about the dialogue between the two sides. At that time, Caruso pushed PJ Washington away, and Irving came forward to argue, but was pushed away by Joe. Then, Irving said to Caruso: Brother, don't do unnecessary shit, what are you doing? Brother, don't do this! Faced with Joe pushing him away, Irving got angry and said directly: Don't push me! Nigger, get out! You're not that tough! Joe didn't let Irving off either, retorting: Damn, go back! Later, Caruso explained…

Although there was no absolute offensive strong point, every player on the court could score, allowing them to lead the Mavericks by 4 points in the first quarter.

In today's NBA league, several young teams with great talent and immediate combat effectiveness have emerged, among which the Thunder is undoubtedly the most outstanding. Under the leadership of their core player Alexander, the Thunder finished the first 40 regular season games with a record of 34 wins and 6 losses, surpassing many strong teams in the West to rank first in the standings. On this game day, the Thunder traveled to Dallas to challenge the Mavericks. After the game started, Irving led the Mavericks to quickly establish a 20-point lead. However, the Thunder, who were missing key players, launched a fierce counterattack. Unfortunately, without the top-notch decisive ability of Alexander, the Western Conference leader suffered a 106-98 defeat on the road, ending their four-game winning streak! [Game Highlights] The Thunder played back-to-back games in this match. In the previous game day, they defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers at home by a huge margin of 20 points, winning the battle between the top teams in the East and West, and also ending the Cavaliers' undefeated record against Western Conference teams since the start of the season, defending the glory of the entire Western Conference. However, Alexander, who performed well in the previous game, missed this game due to injury, coupled with the impact of playing back-to-back games on physical fitness, making it unlikely for the Thunder to win on the road. The Mavericks, who lost to the Thunder in their last direct encounter in Oklahoma City, saw the opportunity to seek revenge at home. [Game Review] After the game started, the…

This season's NBA regular season schedule is nearing the halfway point, with fierce competition in both the East and West. The East has nine teams with a win rate above 50%, which hasn't happened in the past five years. Teams like the Pistons and Hawks are just one step away from fourth place Milwaukee, while many so-called weak teams actually have lineups and tactical styles that can counter the Eastern leaders, such as the Hawks' double victory over the Cavaliers this season. Even the defending champion Celtics are on a downward trend this season, with poor integration of Porzingis into the team, aging Horford and Holiday, and the team relying solely on Tatum. In the West, the top-ranked Thunder and second-placed Rockets have relatively stable positions, while the Grizzlies and Nuggets are in competition. From fifth-place Clippers to twelfth-place Spurs, there is only a three-game difference. With Leonard's return and gradually finding his touch, the pressure on Harden has decreased, and the team is slowly entering a new trajectory. The Lakers have no upper or lower limit; they can lose to anyone but also potentially win some games, depending on whether LeBron and Davis can hold up. The Warriors and Suns are hovering around tenth place in the West, with significant issues for both teams. After Kuminga's injury, Curry lacks ball-handlers around him, and his own age is affecting his dominance. The Suns are keen on finding more support for Booker and Durant, but Beal is unwilling to leave, leaving them with minor adjustments that won't change their overall competitiveness.…

Recently, Jimmy Butler has had a falling out with the Heat, requesting a trade and being suspended for seven games, drawing significant attention. Everyone is speculating about which team will be his next destination. It is reported that several teams are currently discussing trades with the Heat regarding Butler, and it seems inevitable that he will be traded away. Although the regular season has not yet reached its halfway point, Butler's drama is like a heavy bombshell, foreshadowing the unpredictable nature of this summer's free agent market. Here are the top 30 free agents in the market this summer: LeBron James from the Lakers. This season's salary is $48.73 million, with a player option for next season. James continues to perform strongly in the new season, serving as the team's cash cow, and is unlikely to leave. Kyrie Irving from the Mavericks. This season's salary is $41 million, with a player option for next season. He helped the team reach the finals last season and has also performed exceptionally well in the new season. The team is expected to do everything possible to keep him. Brandon Ingram from the Pelicans. This season's salary is $36.02 million, with his contract expiring at the end of the season. His position on the team is now awkward, with management wanting to trade him, but no team showing significant interest. Julius Randle from the Timberwolves. This season's salary is $28.94 million, with a player option for next season. He started the new season strong but has since underperformed, and it is estimated that he…

The annual All-Star carnival is coming again, but I'm in a panic across the ocean. According to the first phase of the NBA's official All-Star weekend voting results, Irving, who missed the All-Star last season, is currently ranked fourth among Western Conference guards, and it is obvious that he still needs more support to squeeze into the starting position. Just as I was about to mobilize the "power of the masses" to give Irving a big score, I suddenly found that there was such a mysterious army that had already marched to the "front line" and left messages under various American media celebrities; Our English is not very good, so we can only get a general idea, but we can always see the words "Kyrie" and "All Star" closely connected! After careful consideration, I realized that I had caught up with the organization, and there were all Chinese fans with Chinese IDs voting for Irving! For example, Stephen A Smith, a famous reporter, posted a plain push, but the comment section was full of calls for votes for Irving. It should be noted that one of the reasons why Irving missed the All-Star last season was the low proportion of media votes, so this time Chinese Irving fans decided to give them some intensity~ The crazier it is, the more beloved it is. Irving's influence among Chinese fans is self-evident. In terms of playing style, he is absolutely unique in the league. It is no exaggeration to say that whether it is selected from active players or boldly traced back…
