A champion team fears not the strength of its opponents but the collapse from within. Recently, Guangdong Men's Basketball Team has been facing a "manpower shortage" in their guard line. The unexpected injury of Hu Mingxuan has plunged the team into a crisis; Xu Jie, bearing the pressure alone, is already gasping for breath. If this continues, how many rounds can Guangdong hold on? At this moment, a foreign player named Taysir Akili Bart has come into focus. Some say he is the "clone" of Liaoning's foreign player Frug, with comprehensive skills and a tough style; others claim that Bart's addition is the life-saving straw for Guangdong Men's Basketball Team. However, whether or not he can save the day depends on how he is used and how much force he can exert. For Guangdong fans, Hu Mingxuan's withdrawal is like a bolt from the blue. He was the mainstay of the guard line, shouldering a large amount of organizing and defensive tasks, but recently had to bid farewell to the court due to a severe shoulder injury. According to doctors, it will take about three months for him to recover. What does three months mean? It not only means that Guangdong cannot expect him to return before the end of the second stage of this season, but also plunges the entire guard line into a dilemma of "not enough manpower and too much intensity." With Hu Mingxuan gone, all the problems fall on Xu Jie - this little guard is full of fighting spirit, but let's not forget that basketball…

The entire game saw the Timberwolves defeat the Clippers with a score of 108-106. In this match, the Clippers led by double digits in the first quarter but were continuously chased down by the Timberwolves in the following three quarters, ultimately suffering a reversal in the final moments. After the game, the Clippers faced four pieces of bad news. Porter Jr. still needs to minimize his playing time in crucial moments due to his inconsistent ball handling. During that period, he made a fast-break turnover and a poor pass to Zubac, which were both very costly. Although Porter Jr. performed well in the first three quarters, Tyronn Lue still needs to be cautious in using him. If he makes mistakes in key moments, it can greatly affect the team's momentum. Powell's usage also became problematic. There was a period where Powell was given excessive ball-handling responsibilities, which raises questions for anyone. Powell's advantage lies only in his three-point shooting, yet he has been attempting dribble drives, leading to a drop in shooting percentage and an increase in turnovers. More critically, he is unable to pass when driving. If he misses from outside, his teammates might still have a chance to grab the rebound, but this resulted in him shooting 7 out of 17 for the game, and Powell was restricted in the final moments. Although Leonard has returned, he still requires a significant amount of time to recover. Given his current state, he can only play during regular times. Once he enters the decisive period, he struggles to score on…

On January 7th, Beijing time, a game with five controversial calls all went against the Clippers! This is the real black whistle. The Lakers should stop complaining about being wronged. They didn't find any money, so they considered it a loss. Why don't they compare themselves to the Clippers? Previously, the Lakers lost in the final moments against the Rockets. After the game, James led the head coach in crying foul, claiming that the referees were targeting them and even mocked the Rockets for flopping. However, after the release of the referee report, it was found that there were no incorrect or missed calls, leaving James brutally humiliated. Now, in contrast, their city rivals, the Clippers, have truly been targeted by the referees, with five controversial whistles that were very unfavorable to the Clippers. This is really impossible to play. Harden was called for three offensive fouls in one game. The biggest loss was at 7 minutes and 15 seconds in the third quarter when Leonard was subbed out. Originally, Harden had made a beautiful pass to the corner for Leonard to complete a three-pointer, but the referee blew his whistle for an offensive foul, and the three points were gone. Harden looked confused and helpless, and finally threw up his hands in utter despair. This was the most controversial moment. The ball went in but was blown off. Harden couldn't help but throw up his hands. Compared to the Lakers' so-called controversies at the time, it's ridiculous that Harden was called for an offensive foul. Because the two opponents…
