On December 26th, Beijing time, there was a highly anticipated matchup during the NBA regular season's Christmas Day games. The Golden State Warriors awaited the arrival of the Los Angeles Lakers at their home court for an intense battle. Schröder, facing his former team, had an excellent three-point shooting performance, hitting multiple shots. The Warriors started strong, taking control early on, with Wiggins particularly impressive, scoring 10 points through a combination of drives and outside shots. The starters played well overall, but the bench seemed slow to heat up, struggling to keep pace on both ends of the court. The Lakers responded quickly, stabilizing the situation with consecutive successful defenses. However, unfortunately, Davis suffered an ankle sprain and returned to the locker room, leaving a potential problem. With a three-pointer from Knecht, the first quarter ended in a 23-all tie. In the second quarter, James launched a sudden three-pointer from the outside, while Knecht became a substitute powerhouse, making strong finishes under the basket. The Lakers then went on a 9-0 run to take the lead. However, quickly widening the gap was not easy, as the game remained tightly contested. Coach Kerr made several substitutions, but they were not particularly effective, ultimately relying on the starters to resolve the issues. Tres scored efficiently inside, while Curry responded with consecutive three-pointers. The half ended with the score at 52-55, with the Warriors trailing by three points. The third quarter began with a three-point shootout between both teams, neither willing to give ground, resulting in intense competition. Curry and Wiggins took on…

In the glittering NBA universe, the 2009 draft undoubtedly gave birth to two of the brightest stars - Stephen Curry and James Harden. They have each written their own legendary chapters in the basketball hall with extraordinary talent and relentless effort. Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, these two former young men have entered the twilight of their careers, yet they still shine brightly on the court, becoming undisputed leaders in their respective positions, leading their teams to break through the waves in the league. Stephen Curry, the soul figure of the Golden State Warriors, his name has long been closely linked to the glory of this city. However, even such a legend cannot escape the ravages of time. At 36 years old, he faced unprecedented challenges this season. Although he still proves his worth with an average of 21.8 points, 5 rebounds, and 6.6 assists per game, the once surging scoring power seems no longer so easily accessible. His shooting percentage dropped to 43.5%, and his three-point percentage was only 40.3%. Behind these numbers is Curry's countless struggles and resilience to regain his past form. His performance is sometimes like a god descending, and at other times like an ordinary person struggling. This unpredictable state is directly reflected in the Warriors' record - 15 wins and 13 losses, ranking eighth in the West, which makes fans both worried and expectant. In contrast, the 35-year-old Harden seems to have ushered in the second spring of his career. In the Clippers, he jumped from a supporting role to…

Everyone knows that this season, the Golden State Warriors, aside from Curry, don't really have anyone particularly reliable to serve as a second scoring option. Moreover, after Melton's injury, there was no one on the guard line who could help Curry share the burden of organizing and scoring. Sister Bo's performance wasn't great, and while Little Payton's defense is decent, his offense falls short; many times, opponents would simply leave him open. To resolve these issues, the Warriors' management has been looking for solutions. Finally, their efforts paid off, and they recently made a pretty good trade. According to NBA insider Shams, league sources say the Heat are open to trading Butler. Butler wants to go to teams like the Warriors, Rockets, and Mavericks. I originally thought Butler might go to the Warriors, why? Because the Warriors urgently need a stable second scoring point, and Butler averages 18.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.2 steals this season with a shooting percentage of 55%! He led the Heat to the finals twice, a real star in the league. Well, although the Warriors are eager to find a stable second scoring point, Butler's salary is too high, and he's not young anymore; it might only be for one year. So, according to insider Spears, instead of chasing stars, the Warriors prefer to find someone to replace Melton in the free market or through trades. After Melton's season-ending injury, the Warriors suffered greatly. If they were to chase stars, the cost would be too high. Therefore, the possibility of the Warriors pursuing…

The focus of the NBA Christmas Day game was undoubtedly the matchup between the Lakers and the Warriors, with top-tier stars LeBron James and Stephen Curry both scoring over 30 points, delivering an exciting game for the audience. Ultimately, the Lakers emerged as the winners and took the opportunity to improve their ranking to sixth in the Western Conference, while the Warriors' ranking dropped to tenth. Due to a significant gap in performance from the top of the Western Conference, the Thunder, both teams hope to optimize their rosters. The Warriors' general manager, Bob Myers, hopes to maximize their advantage of strong shooting ability by focusing on adding shooters. The Lakers hope to add a quality frontcourt player to alleviate pressure on Anthony Davis in the paint. In comparison, the Rockets, ranked second in the West, have a better competitive situation, but general manager Rafael Stone stated in an interview with Jonathan Feigen of the American media "Houston Chronicle" that he will not miss any opportunity to strengthen the team's lineup. Recently, American media "BR" suggested that the Warriors, Lakers, Rockets, and Nets should discuss a four-team trade proposal. If negotiations progress smoothly, Kuminga is expected to join James in Los Angeles, while C-Johnson will go to Golden State to assist Curry. The specific trade plan is as follows: The Warriors send Jonathan Kuminga + Li Kair + Kevin Looney to receive Cameron Johnson. The Lakers send Hood-Sefcik + Christian Wood + the Lakers' 2029 first-round pick + the right to swap first-round picks in 2030 to receive Jonathan Kuminga.…

So far this season, Curry has scored a total of 540 points with an average of 22.5 points, ranking first in the team. The instability of Curry's state has also led to the Warriors' poor performance this season.

The Spurs behind them are only 0.5 games away, and the playoff situation is not optimistic.

He carried the team forward, supporting the Lakers' hopes with his own strength, refusing to let them down.

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 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…
