On December 24, 2024, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued with a focus match between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons have been performing well recently, moving from a long-term bottom ranking in the Eastern Conference to now entering the play-in tournament area. The Lakers have won three consecutive games, rising to sixth in the Western Conference. Both teams are in good form. Who will come out on top? In the first quarter, both teams had excellent offensive performances, with the Pistons having a slight advantage at 34:32. In the second quarter, the Lakers launched a counterattack, overtaking the score at halftime, leading 64:62 by two points.

At this point, there were only 4 minutes and 36 seconds left in the game. James continued his magical performance, helping the Lakers narrow the score to 112:117, trailing by 5 points, but there was really not much time left. With 1 minute and 46 seconds remaining, James scored again with a breakthrough layup, making it 114-117, only trailing by 3 points, with just 46 seconds left. James really did his best. Not only did he achieve a triple-double, but he also scored continuously in the fourth quarter. The Pistons called a timeout. Cunningham attacked and forced a…

The Lakers have been playing under the pressure of injuries this season, with players like Vanderbilt, Wood, and Hayes constantly out due to injuries. This has left the Lakers' bench rotation short-handed. Although Vincent returned this season, his shooting form has been poor, unable to help the team win games. Instead, young stars like Knickert and Christie have become important rotational players. Due to the severe injury problems within the team, these young stars have received more opportunities for training. The Lakers' "Big Three" exploded with a combined 76 points, 22 assists, and 18 rebounds, while James set a miracle, proving that the new star is indeed very useful. In the game between the Lakers and the Warriors, Davis had to leave the game due to an injury in the opening minutes. James and Curry led their teams in a fierce battle, with the score constantly changing hands. The Lakers' young stars Knickert and Christie exploded in the second quarter, leading the team on a 16-2 run to help the Lakers take the lead at halftime. The Lakers had established a lead of around 10 points by the third quarter, but Curry and Wiggins scored continuously, going on a 9-0 run, resulting in a fierce tug-of-war entering the final quarter. In the decisive moments, Curry hit consecutive three-pointers to help the Warriors tie the score, but Reeves made crucial free throws and completed a layup to secure the victory. The Lakers narrowly defeated the Warriors. Davis only played for 7 minutes before spraining his ankle, but fortunately, post-game tests showed…

In the final play of the game, after Reeves made a layup to secure the victory, there was still one second left for the Warriors. In a high-level competition like this, a lot can happen in the last second. Not to mention that the opposing team, the Warriors, had a player named Curry, who had just scored 17 points in the fourth quarter and made eight three-pointers. It's not impossible for him to hit a 25-meter super long three-pointer. After Reeves' buzzer-beater, notice that all the Lakers were celebrating with raised hands, even Christie had both arms up, but James chose to refuse celebration. Instead, he took a big step forward and rushed in front of Curry to start interfering with his catch, determined not to let Curry easily shoot the ball. As Curry took two steps forward to shake off James, there was only 0.1 seconds left, and he was already out of time when he shot. Even if Curry had really made the super long three-pointer, it would have been too late. At this point, the game was over, and James finally walked to the sidelines, tightly touching Reeves' head to encourage him and celebrate with his teammates. This scene shows how excellent and determined to win James is. While his teammates were celebrating, James' first thought was not to celebrate, but to defend and hold onto the ball. He also fully defended in the last second before the game ended. From a different baseline angle, it's clearer that after Reeves made the layup, Draymond Green wanted to…

The Lakers' victory over the Warriors was a thrilling spectacle that showcased some exceptional basketball. The high-stakes nature of the year-end showdown is not something just anyone can handle. With the Lakers emerging victorious, what post-game developments are worth noting? Let's take a look at some interesting points. After the Lakers' win, Anthony Davis confirmed his status, LeBron James issued an official order, and Austin Reeves no longer conceals anything. We all know that Davis had little involvement in this game, even during periods when he wasn't injured, as evidenced by his three attempts without a single hit. So how is Davis' physical condition now? He has officially confirmed it himself. Post-game, Davis stated that he would be fine and would play in the next game against the Kings. Fortunately, the next game is scheduled for the 29th, giving Davis time to recover. We'll have to see how Davis fares; there could be variables. Everyone saw James' performance in this game; he remains at the top of his game. In this match, James also broke several records. The first record: James scored over 30 points for the seventh time in the year-end showdown, making him the second most frequent occurrence in history, only surpassed by Oscar Robertson. The second record: James' total score in the year-end showdown reached 507 points, making him the first in NBA history, a feat unlikely to be broken. After the game, James also discussed many things. When asked about Davis' injury withdrawal, James officially issued an order. James bluntly stated that no one can replace…

In the new season, many star players in the league have not performed well, with Embiid being particularly noticeable for his decline. He has been reluctant to play on the court recently, missing all recent games and only playing four this season, averaging less than 20 points per game. As for the Pacers' Haliburton, his state this season has been unpredictable. As a core player, he averages only 17.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 8.7 assists, with a shooting percentage of 41% and a three-point percentage of 34%. Last season, Haliburton was an All-Star starter and considered Paul's successor, but unfortunately, his biggest problem is his lack of athleticism, which puts him at a disadvantage during confrontations. Additionally, some veteran stars in the league seem to be declining as well, like Curry, who averages only 22.5 points this season, with his three-point prowess also significantly reduced. Paul George's move to the 76ers seems to be a wrong decision. In the first nine games, he averaged only 14.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 4.8 assists. His shooting percentage dropped by 10% compared to last season, and his three-point percentage dropped by 13%, a significant decline! George's personal abilities are versatile, but he lacks specialization, without a stable scoring method or the ability to control the game, making it difficult for him to perform well in his new team. Even LeBron James seems to be unable to withstand the effects of time. In recent games, James appears lethargic, with a significant drop in efficiency, numerous turnovers, and a negative impact on defense. Over the…
