On October 27th at 10:30 am Beijing time, the NBA regular season saw a match between the Lakers and the Kings. Prior to this game, the Lakers had just won their first two games of the season, while the Kings had yet to secure their first victory after losing to the Timberwolves. This match was particularly interesting as Davis faced his nemesis Sabonis once again. The game started with the Lakers taking the lead by aggressively attacking the paint, resulting in a dream start with a 16-8 lead. However, the Lakers' shooting cooled down, allowing the Kings to catch up with a combination of inside and outside scoring. Monk and Murray's consecutive baskets helped reduce the gap to just 2 points, and the first quarter ended with the Lakers leading 28-26. In the second quarter, the Lakers regained their touch with a 12-0 scoring run, giving them a double-digit lead. The Kings fought back with a 10-0 run, but the Lakers managed to stabilize the situation. At halftime, the Lakers led the Kings by 4 points with a score of 64-60. The third quarter saw a change in momentum as the Lakers struggled on both offense and defense. Their poor shooting from beyond the arc (1 out of 10) and weak defense made it difficult for them to maintain their lead. On the other hand, the Kings had multiple players contributing, and Fox's two consecutive three-pointers at the end of the third quarter helped the Kings take a 94-87 lead over the Lakers. In the final quarter, it was the…

Recently, rumors about the potential trade of the Kings' backcourt core, De'Aaron Fox, have been rampant. This is mainly due to the team's poor performance this season. The Kings made a big trade in the offseason to acquire DeMar DeRozan, hoping to make further progress, but they failed to live up to expectations. They suffered consecutive defeats and their locker room was in chaos. Ultimately, head coach Mike Brown was fired, and the team fell into another low point. Fox also put pressure on the team through his agent, hinting that he might consider leaving. As a quasi-All-Star level player, Fox is still very popular. Reports suggest that if Fox wants to leave, teams like the Rockets and Spurs will pursue him vigorously. The Rockets, in particular, seem to be particularly interested in Fox, as they are in need of a star player who can perform in clutch situations. Therefore, they are expected to be one of the top contenders for Fox. American media has also confirmed this news, stating that the Rockets will lead the race for Fox. In recent days, an article by Eric Pincus, a salary expert at Bleacher Report, pointed out that NBA rumors indicate that Fox may push for a trade before the February 6 trade deadline, and the Kings may consider all options. One team stands out as their most likely trading partner: the Rockets. The journalist also provided a very informative trade proposal: Kings receive: Reed Sheppard, Cameron Whitmore, Jeff Green, Jaxson Hayes, Jock Landale, 2027 first-round swap rights, 2028 first-round pick, 2030…

The NBA's new season has been underway for more than two months. Which team's performance has disappointed us the most? In the Eastern Conference, it was the Bucks and the 76ers at the beginning of the season. At that time, both teams were struggling to win a game and ranked at the bottom of the East. However, as the season progressed, they found their rhythm and started winning games. The Bucks even won the NBA Cup championship and have now climbed to fifth in the East. The 76ers, although their record is not as good, ranking 11th, they have recently been winning more than losing. Embiid, Maxi, and George are gradually developing chemistry, and it can be imagined that the 76ers' ranking will rise in time. In the Western Conference, it's the Suns, Kings, and Pelicans. The Kings are a strange team. During the offseason, they assembled a trio of Fox, DeRozan, and Sabonis, with Monk coming off the bench. No matter how you look at it, they should be a championship-level team. However, their current record is a mess, worse than last season. They were even swept by the Lakers. According to the latest reports, the Kings are willing to trade Fox, which suggests they are preparing to rebuild the team. The Pelicans are even worse to look at, with a record of 5 wins and 29 losses, ranking dead last in the league. Last season, they made it to the playoffs. The Pelicans are basically on the verge of disbanding. Now, Ingram and Zion are both on the…

The Warriors suffered a crushing defeat at home to the Cavaliers, with a score of 95-113, causing their record to drop to 16 wins and 16 losses, slipping to 10th place in the rankings. The Cavaliers extended their winning streak to seven games and remain at the top of the Eastern Conference. Stephen Curry had a disappointing game with only 11 points, while Schroder also struggled, scoring 12 points. Trez contributed 16 points and 16 rebounds. For the Cavaliers, Mitchell scored 23 points, Garland had 25 points, and Allen added 12 points and 9 rebounds. The Cavaliers have been incredibly strong this season. Although there is still a long way to go in the season, I dare say that they have basically secured the Eastern Conference championship. So far, they have only lost four games and are likely to break the Warriors' previous record of 73 wins. In this game, the Warriors' overall performance was average. The game started with a close battle between both sides, but in the second quarter, the Cavaliers pulled away. By the third quarter, the Cavaliers had expanded their lead to double digits, and by the fourth quarter, the game entered garbage time as the Cavaliers easily secured the victory. In another match, the Nuggets defeated the Jazz 132-121 on the road, securing their second consecutive win. Jokic had an outstanding performance with 36 points, 22 rebounds, and 11 assists. "Weizhen Tian" returned to his peak form, going 7-for-7 from the field to score 16 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists. Porter contributed 21 points,…

Oh my, what a tough time for the Warriors! They've just survived a devilish December, only to enter a hellish January! This can't help but make people sigh that fate sometimes really likes to play jokes. Back then, before December 2024, the Warriors were still firmly in the top three in the West with a record of 12 wins and 6 losses, showing a kingly demeanor. But once they entered December, the style changed dramatically, winning only 4 games and losing 10 in a single month, turning directly into a "minnow" team. This win rate is simply astonishing! Now, their overall record is 16 wins and 16 losses, ranking tenth in the West, barely squeezing into the playoff circle. If it weren't for the victories accumulated at the beginning of the season, they might have started preparing for next year's draft conference now! You might think that a monthly win rate of 28% is already bad enough, but looking at the schedule for January, you'll find that there's no worst, only worse! It's like "no comparison, no harm"! For the current Warriors, the schedule in January is called "hell mode". Friends, guess how many games the Warriors will play in January? The answer is 15! Including 10 home games and 5 away games. At first glance, having more home games seems pretty good? But take a closer look at the opponents, and you'll find a big problem. Among these 15 opponents are the 76ers, Grizzlies, Celtics, Lakers, and Thunder, all recognized as strong teams and tough nuts to crack. There…

The Houston Rockets defeated the Dallas Mavericks 110-99, achieving a double victory over their opponents this season. The Rockets currently have a record of 22 wins and 11 losses. Last season, the Rockets had a record of 26 wins and 26 losses in the first half, but managed to improve to 21 wins and 11 losses in the second half. This transformation at the start of the current season is a result of finding their form in the latter part of last season. Despite finishing with a record of 41 wins and 41 losses last season, which would have secured them a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, they were edged out by the Golden State Warriors for a playoff berth in the Western Conference. In March of last season, the Rockets went on an impressive 11-game winning streak. Their current advantage lies in their deep rotation, with Ethan continuing to struggle with injuries and Amen being suspended. However, Whitmore has stepped up to fill the void left by the two, showcasing his explosive scoring ability. Additionally, White Magic's size and wing-like physique have been crucial in defense. White Magic has truly fulfilled Udoka's request to enhance the team's defensive capabilities. He was predicted to be a top-five pick in the 23rd draft due to his immediate impact as a forward, particularly in defense and three-point shooting. However, White Magic's past behavior was often described as too individualistic, and he did not always give his best effort defensively. After being benched by Udoka, he finally realized the importance of his…

The Rockets need to demonstrate the courage to trade Monta Ellis in order to empower Curry with more ball-handling opportunities for his growth, and they should also consider trading away Fan Dazhou to give younger players more playing time. The key question is who the Rockets should focus on developing among their seven young players, all of whom have noticeable flaws. Green, for instance, has shown inconsistency in his performance. Shen Jing, as a center, is relatively short and struggles with shooting and attacking the basket. Yi Sen has yet to meet the requirements of a core player. Smith's functionality is limited, making him more suitable for a 3D role. As for White Magic Xie Pud, he is even less likely to reach core potential. The only player with the potential to become a core, Aman, still lacks shooting skills. If the Rockets had a player like Harden in his first year with the team, they would have already cleared obstacles to focus on his development. Trading for Fox would be best done through a three-way deal. It is suggested that the Rockets, Kings, and Nets complete a major three-way trade. In this scenario, the Rockets would acquire Fox and Huerter, while the Kings would receive Ben Simmons, Sheppard, Whitmore, Cameron Thomas, the 2027 first-round pick (Suns), the 2028 first-round pick (Rockets), the 2029 first-round swap right (the best first-round pick among Rockets, Suns, and Mavericks), and the 2030 first-round swap right (Rockets). The Nets would obtain VanVleet and the 2027 first-round swap right (Nets). This trade would be beneficial…

Embiid was absent, and Philadelphia lost 107-113 to the Kings on the road. In the final quarter, with a 9-point lead, the Kings suddenly made a surge in the last three minutes, scoring an 11-0 run to instantly dismantle Philadelphia. George played well in the first three quarters today, but in the fourth quarter, he only managed 2 rebounds in 7 minutes, going 0-for-1 from the field without scoring, which was a high start and low finish that couldn't be relied upon. Fox is indeed very capable, especially in the clutch, where he made every shot, particularly from mid-range. Fox has something special. Recently, there have been many rumors about Fox leaving the team, with the Rockets being the hottest potential destination for Fox, as he is from Houston. Moreover, the Rockets' configuration is not only similar to the Kings but also stronger. The Kings have Sabonis, the fire dragon, while the Rockets have Shen Jing, the little fire dragon. Additionally, the Rockets have abundant frontline resources, so it can be said that the Rockets meet the standards for an All-Star to move in directly. If the Rockets could replace Van Jordan with Fox, they could compete for the championship this year. Fox is the scorer the Rockets need and the role the team dreams of having, someone who can deliver the decisive blow in critical moments. Standing at 1.91 meters tall, Fox also shines defensively. If Fox were to join the Rockets, the team could perfectly leverage their top-three defense in the league. The Rockets' defense would not decrease…

The competition in the West is very fierce, and the rankings can change every day. The Thunder and Grizzlies did not play today and remain in the top two spots. The third-placed Rockets won 110-99 at home against the Mavericks without Doncic, ending their two-game losing streak and improving their record to 22 wins and 11 losses, just half a game behind the Grizzlies and 5.5 games behind the Thunder. The losing Mavericks suffered their third consecutive loss with a record of 20 wins and 14 losses, falling out of the top four to fifth place.
