On January 20th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season will continue with the Clippers playing back-to-back at home against the Bulls. The Clippers have been in hot form recently, defeating their city rivals the Lakers in the previous game to secure a four-game winning streak. In the game against the Lakers, the Clippers dominated both offensively and defensively, with Harden scoring 21 points and 12 assists, Zubac scoring 21 points and grabbing 19 rebounds to suppress Davis, and Leonard also contributing 19 points, leading the team to an easy victory. This impressive performance has brought the Clippers' record to 24 wins and 17 losses, placing them fifth in the Western Conference with a 1.5-game lead. For safety reasons, Leonard is still not participating in back-to-back games. This season, the Clippers have been very strong defensively, averaging only 106.5 points conceded, making them the third-least conceding team in the league. Although their offensive threat is not particularly significant, they rely on defense to drive offense, which has kept them among the top teams in the West. Harden is the key to the team's victories, with a chance to be reselected for the All-Star team. The progress of Powell and Zubac is also evident, and the team is currently in high spirits, with the opportunity to extend their winning streak. The Bulls are also playing back-to-back, having suffered a 102-113 defeat to the Trail Blazers in Portland in their previous game, resulting in a five-game losing streak. This shows that the Bulls are in poor form, only managing to hit eight three-pointers…

On January 19th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continues to unfold. The Clippers have recently regained momentum and achieved a three-game winning streak, moving up to fifth in the Western Conference. In their next game, they will face a crucial matchup against the sixth-placed Lakers, which is also the first Los Angeles derby of the season. Prior to the game, the Clippers updated their injury report, with four players listed as questionable due to illness, including James Harden. After a three-game winning streak, the Clippers' morale has been greatly boosted, and the team atmosphere remains positive. Despite some trade rumors, the players remain focused on the games. In the past two games, they have achieved significant victories, including a 59-point win over the Nets, setting a new record for the largest point differential in team history. Following that, they won by 29 points against the Trail Blazers in a back-to-back game, accumulating an impressive 88-point margin over two games, demonstrating their excellent competitive form. However, the Clippers are about to face a challenging schedule, playing four games in the next five days, including two back-to-back matches. Fortunately, all these games are at home, so there's no need for travel. The first game will be against the Lakers at home, marking the first Los Angeles derby of the season. With both teams currently ranked fifth and sixth in the West, the game is expected to be particularly intense. However, the Clippers have encountered trouble before the game, as Harden has fallen ill. Recently, several NBA players have been affected by…

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…

On January 11th, Beijing time, the NBA officially announced that the Lakers' home game against the Spurs and the Clippers' home game against the Hornets scheduled for tomorrow have both been postponed. This was foreseeable, as Los Angeles is currently experiencing a wildfire disaster, with many players' homes destroyed by the fires. Leonard had previously returned to Los Angeles to be with his family. In response to this situation, the NBA has taken action by not only postponing two games but also donating $1 million to support those affected by the disaster. The NBA has also stated that it will work with the Lakers and Clippers to support long-term aid and reconstruction efforts. In this wildfire disaster, many people's homes were destroyed, including some players' homes, such as Lakers head coach Redick's rental property, leaving many homeless. In Los Angeles, the NBA has two teams: the Clippers and the Lakers. Among them, the Lakers' previous game had already been postponed. This time, the NBA officially announced the postponement of two more games, both involving the Clippers and the Lakers, with the rescheduled dates to be determined later. Subsequently, the Clippers also announced that they would not continue to postpone games, and the next game against the Heat would return to normal, except for the game against the Hornets, which has been postponed. The Clippers' team reporter then revealed the reason for the postponement: the Clippers' staff are all involved in disaster relief efforts, leading to a shortage of personnel. An NBA game requires many staff members, but since many people's…
