Brunson has been performing well with the Knicks, becoming a qualified star player. After Randle was out last season, Brunson led the Knicks to remarkable achievements. They made it all the way to second place in the East and successfully advanced to the playoffs. The playoff journey was full of excitement and thrills. In the first round against the 76ers led by Embiid, the Knicks eliminated them with their strong strength. In the second round against the Pacers, the situation was also promising, with consecutive victories in the first two games (G1, G2). However, fate began to play tricks, and injuries plagued the team like a shadow, with key players getting injured one after another. Under such circumstances, it became extremely difficult to maintain a winning streak. Ultimately, the Knicks lost to the Pacers with a score of 3-4, missing out on the Eastern Conference Finals. However, this could not overshadow Brunson's brilliance in the playoffs. In 13 games, he averaged 32.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 7.5 assists, with a shooting percentage of 44.4%, which is completely at the top level of the league. Before the start of the new season, the Knicks made a blockbuster trade. They reached an agreement with the Timberwolves, sending Randle and DiVincenzo in exchange for Towns. At that time, many people thought that Towns would be a supporting role to Brunson in the Knicks, just like how he supported Edwards in the Timberwolves. However, things developed unexpectedly, and Towns shone brightly after joining the Knicks. His performance on the court was quite impressive, and…

New Season, New Dynamics: Each of the 30 teams in the league has its own challenges. Taking the East as an example, Jimmy Butler failed to renew his contract with the Heat, and he is unhappy and not performing well, even requesting a trade. Pat Riley has suspended him for seven games. Regardless of where Butler ends up, the Heat should act decisively to resolve the situation. On the other hand, in the West, the Suns have three superstars - Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal - but they are plagued by injuries, making it difficult for their unbalanced lineup to compete in the competitive Western Conference. It's time for a major reshuffle of the roster. Notably, Butler is interested in joining the Suns to team up with KD, and KD also needs a tough forward like Butler! Since the new owner, Mat Ishbia, took over the Suns, the team has set championship contention as its top goal. To achieve this, Ishbia made three significant moves: first, bringing in KD to raise the team's ceiling; second, trading Chris Paul for the prolific scorer Beal; and third, trading Deandre Ayton for the European heavyweight center, Jusuf Nurkic! Thus, the Suns built an unusual lineup: three top-paid scorers (KD, Booker, Beal) + a super heavyweight blue-collar center (Nurkic) + several low-salary role players! Unfortunately, the Suns have been ravaged by injuries, leaving them far from championship contention! In the new season, the Suns started anew but fell behind again in the fiercely competitive West! So far, the Suns have only managed…

A game of future and reality is quietly unfolding! The Suns are struggling with poor performance, the Timberwolves are trying to upgrade their lineup, while the Rockets are secretly manipulating, holding the draft pick swap rights and waiting for the fisherman's advantage. In this three-way trade idea, the fate of D'Angelo Russell has become crucial, while Kevin Durant's helpers are gradually decreasing. The once invincible super trio now struggles for the eighth spot in the West. Is the luxurious lineup just a paper tiger after all? This "trade storm" is not groundless; it is a chain reaction triggered by the Suns' difficulties. The Suns were originally highly anticipated in the 2025 season, but with Booker's return from injury, followed by injuries to Beal, O'Neal, and Monte Morris, the team has found it difficult to maintain its competitiveness at the beginning of the season. Despite Durant's continued firepower, he cannot hold up alone. After suffering three consecutive losses, the Suns dropped to 11th in the West, further away from the playoffs. To date, the Suns have huge salary pressure, with the trio's combined annual salary exceeding $150 million. The management has almost no room for maneuver, and this luxurious battleship is gradually losing its direction. The Rockets are in a completely different situation. They are the biggest potential beneficiaries of this trade, for no other reason than they hold the Suns' first-round draft pick swap rights in 2025. 2025 is widely recognized as a big year for the draft, and Rockets general manager Rafael Stone knows that this pick could bring…

Leonard returned to play against the Hawks at home, and the Clippers' morale is high. Because the Hawks are not a weak team, but an Eastern powerhouse. They have already double-killed the league's first Cavaliers this season, and even the Celtics were defeated by the Hawks. But the Clippers relied on Harden's organization and Leonard's ability to attack on the front line, and they literally broke the Hawks apart. You can really say that Leonard's return is like parachuting in a superstar on the basis of the playoffs, and Leonard and the Clippers are separated. Now the Clippers already have the ability to compete for the championship, and Cardi's body is indeed fine, at least there is no problem now. Today, Leonard has traveled with the team to the away game, and the Clippers will face strong teams like the Timberwolves and Nuggets next. Clippers reporter Tomer Azarly reported on social media today that Leonard was not included in the latest Clippers injury report. Except for Kai Jones, the entire Clippers squad can play in the next game against the Timberwolves. Leonard still has time restrictions, and should gradually return to a normal state as his condition improves later. And this time Leonard came back with a feeling of indifference to everything. He no longer cares about injuries, nor does he have a specific schedule, just taking it step by step. Because you can't predict the future, it's obvious that when reporters asked Leonard today what kind of maintenance and recovery he would do for his knees in the future?…

On January 6th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season will continue, with the Clippers traveling to play against the Timberwolves as visitors. The Timberwolves have recently fallen into difficulties again, suffering a three-game losing streak. In their last game, they were surprisingly defeated by the Pistons, with team core Edwards scoring an empty 53 points. Besides Randle's 17 points, no other players scored in double digits. After the game, Edwards even refused to be interviewed, clearly dissatisfied with the team's performance. Currently, the Timberwolves' record stands at 17 wins and 17 losses, ranking 10th in the West, and they still need to find their form. This season, the Timberwolves' defensive performance has been good, allowing an average of only 108 points per game. However, the team's offense lags behind, averaging just 109.2 points. Moreover, the frontline anchored by Gobert is not stable, averaging only 42.8 rebounds per game, which ranks at the bottom of the league. The Timberwolves' offensive threat is still the three-pointer, averaging 15.1 made threes per game. Once they can shoot well, the chances of winning will increase. Edwards remains the team's offensive core, contributing an average of 25.3 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. The Clippers welcomed a resurgence in their last game, with Leonard making his debut in the new season. The team played an excellent game, setting a new high for the season with 36 assists, with eight players scoring in double digits, easily defeating the Hawks 131-105 to end their two-game losing streak. Leonard returned to play less than 20 minutes, hitting 3…

Another Loss! Netizens Call for Trading Edwards! Timberwolves Become the Biggest Joke in NBA Scoring an astonishing 53 points yet still losing by 14 is a rare occurrence. The Timberwolves lost 105-119 to the Pistons. In this game, Hua Zi shot 16 out of 31, including hitting 10 three-pointers to score 53 points, both career highs. The rest of his teammates combined for 18 out of 49 shots, scoring a total of 52 points... This is what it means to be a lone tree unable to hold up the sky; just look at Hua Zi today. Everyone then looks back at the trade before the start of this season, where the Timberwolves suddenly used Towns to swap with the Knicks for Randle, DiVincenzo, and a first-round pick, and they can't help but laugh. The Timberwolves only made it to the Western Conference Finals last season, but they immediately dismantled their core lineup. So far this season, they are ranked 10th in the West with a record of 17 wins and 17 losses. Despite having no choice, it's still hard to understand. Due to failed trades, the Timberwolves have fallen into difficulties this season. Now many people are calling on Hua Zi to follow in the footsteps of his brother Butler, proactively apply for a trade, and leave the cold Minnesota to bring his talent elsewhere to start a new chapter in his career. Speaking of the Heat, their internal chaos recently led to a big loss of 100-136 against the Jazz, who are at the bottom of the West. Sometimes,…

Throughout NBA history, few players can be mentioned in the same breath as Michael Jordan. LeBron James, with his legendary performances year after year, has been steadily approaching Jordan's legacy, sparking discussions about who is truly the greatest of all time. Looking at their entire careers, Jordan undoubtedly remains the more brilliant figure. However, when focusing solely on their performance at age 40, the comparison between the two may differ from what one might expect. This season, James has averaged 24 points, 7 rebounds, and 9 assists. So, how did Jordan perform at the same age? This year, James turned 40, making him the oldest player in the league. However, his on-court performance does not reflect his age. He has begun to step back, allowing players like Russell Westbrook to handle the ball more and Anthony Davis to become the focal point of the Lakers' system. At present, James is more akin to a top-tier second option, a key player capable of taking over games in crucial moments, but unable to maintain high-intensity competition throughout every game and the entire season. So far this season, James has maintained a commendable attendance record. He has played in 31 games, averaging 35 minutes per game and attempting 18.3 shots, which are solid numbers for a hardworking and durable player. He has delivered an impressive stat line of 24.1 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 8.9 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 50.7% and a three-point percentage of 38.2%. James ranks 16th in scoring, 31st in rebounding, and 4th in assists in the…

The highly anticipated second stage of the CBA regular season's 26th round has seen intense competition, with recent news about traditional powerhouse Guangdong men's basketball team defeating dark horse Shandong team at home with a score of 98-93 drawing attention from fans. In this battle, Guangdong's foreign aid, Morland and Jilunwater, once again demonstrated their strong dominance. However, the core that truly helped Guangdong defeat Shandong was still the main guard Xu Jie. Despite being restricted by top defensive players like Yu Dehao and Gao Shiyan in the entire league, Xu Jie still efficiently scored 22+11+4 points. In the future, Guangdong must quickly introduce a qualified small foreign aid to provide sufficient assistance to Xu Jie. With the NBA league ushering in a new round of layoffs, Guangdong also decided to cut the new foreign aid Les during this period due to insufficient strength. Obviously, Zhu Fangyu and Du Feng will inevitably introduce a qualified offensive foreign aid during the NBA layoff wave. Since it has been reported that the Minnesota Timberwolves of the NBA have cut the forward-guard core Daisen Nicks, the latter has also been regarded as one of the most ideal reinforcement targets for Guangdong. Daisen Nicks has a standard forward core playing style, but his personal ability can only serve as the core of a tanking team. Previously, Nicks had particularly eye-catching performances during his time with the Rockets, even scoring 45 points with 29 shots in a highlight performance. However, Nicks is now finding it difficult to continue in the NBA. After Nicks was cut…

On January 5th, Beijing time, the 26th round of the second stage of the CBA league regular season continued. In the just-concluded focus battle, the traditional powerhouse Guangdong team's victory over Shandong team at home with a score of 98-93 became the focus of fans' attention. In this game, Xu Jie, the main guard of Guangdong team, once again showed his dominance that was not inferior to a small foreign aid. He efficiently scored 22 points, 11 assists, and 4 rebounds under the matchup with top defensive players such as Yu Dehao and Gao Shiyuan, helping Guangdong team easily defeat Shandong team. However, Guangdong team still needs to find a small foreign aid who can carry the flag in the offensive end in the future. Xu Jie has shown fatigue in the game, and being repeatedly stolen by Shandong team is enough to explain everything. From the game, Xu Jie's comprehensive performance once again demonstrated his importance in Guangdong team. As the core of Guangdong team's tactical initiation, Xu Jie not only stood out in scoring and assists but also played at the level of a small foreign aid on the court. However, based on Hu Mingxuan's not-so-fast return and the release of Les, Guangdong team seems to have finally ushered in an opportunity for reinforcement. With the arrival of the layoff period in the NBA league, Guangdong team has officially welcomed new opportunities for recruitment. After Guangdong team officially announced the release of Les, Zhu Fangyu was once favored by the outside world to have already had a new…

NBA regular season is in full swing, and the game between the Pistons and the Timberwolves has concluded with the Pistons hosting at home. Prior to this game, the Timberwolves were ranked tenth in the Western Conference standings with a record of 17 wins and 16 losses, having suffered consecutive defeats; while the Pistons were ninth in the Eastern Conference with a record of 16 wins and 18 losses.

However, the final result was unexpected, with the Pistons achieving a decisive 14-point victory over the Timberwolves at home. Surprise victory! Pistons win big by 14 points over Timberwolves, three players stand out, Edwards' 53 points not enough to save the day. After the start of the game, Cunningham took charge of both offense and playmaking, leading his team to take the lead at home; the Timberwolves responded with a combination of inside and outside scoring; they remained close in the score throughout the first quarter, which was quite exciting, with the Pistons only gaining a 5-point advantage. However, in the second quarter, the Timberwolves suddenly lost power on the offensive end, scoring only 15 points. Although the Pistons' efficiency dropped in the second quarter, they were still able to maintain their lead, ending the half with a 12-point advantage over the Timberwolves. In the third quarter, the Pistons continued to exert themselves under Cunningham's leadership, continuously expanding their lead, at one point extending it…
