Today's NBA games were numerous, and the performances of many star players were commendable, including Booker, Durant, Trae Young, Poole, Mitchell, Jalen Green, Wiggins, and others, all of whom had impressive stats. However, if we were to select today's best player, there would be no suspense. Let's take a look at the specifics together! Mitchell's Form Returns In recent games, Mitchell has been in poor form, but he showed significant improvement today against the Timberwolves. In the first quarter, he made 3 of 6 shots, including 1 of 3 from three-point range and 3 of 3 from the free-throw line, scoring 10 points with 4 rebounds and 1 assist. In the second quarter, he scored another 12 points, making 8 of 14 shots in the first half, 3 of 7 from three-point range, and 3 of 3 from the free-throw line, totaling 22 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists. In the second half, Mitchell's scoring decreased, but his teammates stepped up, and they extended the lead in the third quarter. In the final moments of the fourth quarter, when the Timberwolves launched a comeback, Mitchell came through with crucial 7 points to secure the victory. In this game, he played for 33 minutes and 30 seconds, shooting 12 of 27, including 4 of 15 from three-point range and 8 of 9 from the free-throw line, finishing with 36 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, and 1 steal, with a +10 plus-minus rating. Booker Scores 23 Points in the First Half The Suns narrowly defeated the Pistons on the road, with Booker…

NBA once had a slogan that went "Where Amazing Happens," which essentially means it's a place where miracles occur. This applies not only to team competitions but also to the personal growth of players. There was Jokic, who rose from a second-round pick to become a back-to-back MVP, and now there is a forward who was passed over nine times in the draft and didn't get a response even after actively courting the Spurs, known as the "newcomer's Whampoa Military Academy." However, this season, at only 23 years old, he has averaged an impressive 19.8 points, 10 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.1 blocks, achieving a "phoenix-like rebirth." When I list these stats above, some of you may already know who this young star is. Yes, he is none other than Jalen Johnson, the Hawks' starting forward who made a remarkable comeback from the 20th pick. Johnson was once a five-star high school player and one of the top three forwards in the country. For a long time, he was predicted to be selected within the top eight picks. Even in the last mock draft before the actual event, he was projected to go as high as the 11th pick. However, his repeated locker room controversies during his college days and his insistence on changing teams raised doubts about his future professionalism, earning him the nickname "runaway forward." Due to such external doubts, NBA executives hesitated. In the 2021 draft, nine teams among the top 19 picks had focused on him, but they all ultimately chose other players. Jalen…

Thank you for your support! On January 4th, air currents fluctuated on the Seattle route, causing flight delays. After hours of anxious waiting, Fiket walked out of the airport calmly and took a car to the Staples Center alone. Outside the stadium, several stray dogs were laughing and chasing each other, adding to the warmth and tranquility of the night in Los Angeles. Fiket stood at the entrance of the arena, gazing at the championship banner hanging above the gate for a long time, as if from another world. The waves of the first championship in 07 came surging, and at that moment, James' grand ambition was extinguished by an airball, and he was looked down upon by the Lakers. Sixteen years have passed, and this arena, which once had no connection with him, now carries unparalleled glory. Fiket unconsciously clenched his fists tightly, and this fiery force is driving him to move forward bravely. In the stands, amidst the noise, James stood up expressionlessly and slowly walked towards the player's tunnel. A little boy wearing an Anthony Davis jersey suddenly noticed the hero approaching and widened his eyes, almost speechless with excitement. James nodded slightly and smiled warmly. This heroic image that only exists in fiction is accumulated bit by bit through…

On January 8th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued with a total of 7 matchups scheduled for the day. The specific results are as follows: Rockets defeated the Wizards 135-112, the Suns lost to the Hornets 104-115, the Lakers were badly beaten by the Mavericks 97-118, the Timberwolves narrowly won against the Pelicans 104-97, the Hawks narrowly defeated the Jazz 124-121, the Heat won big over the Warriors 114-98, and the Celtics beat the Nuggets 118-106. Players such as Shen Jing, Jalen Green, Booker, LaMelo Ball, Grimes, Hua Zi, Trae Young, Jovic, Curry, Tatum, and Porzingis all had impressive performances. So, who will be awarded the title of today's best player? Let's take a look together. In the game between the Heat and the Warriors, the Heat played as a cohesive unit with six players scoring in double figures. Among them, Adebayo contributed 19 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists, while Jovic scored 20 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists. The Heat led by as many as 20 points and ultimately secured a 16-point victory. The Warriors could not avoid defeat, leaving Curry once again as a lone hero. He played 33 minutes, shooting 11 for 22 (8 for 17 from three-point range) and 1 for 1 from the free-throw line, accumulating a comprehensive stat line of 31 points, 7 rebounds, 1 steal, and 2 blocks. This marks the 86th time in Curry's career that he has made 8 or more three-pointers in a single game, ranking first in NBA history. In the game between the Suns and the…

The Clippers finally welcomed the return of Leonard at home, ultimately defeating their opponents 131-105 with ease. Harden has returned to being an assistant rather than carrying the team. He delivered 15 assists throughout the game, including 13 in the first half, setting a new league record for the season. It must be said that Harden's focus on passing is truly remarkable. Initially, it was thought that Harden would score less than 10 points, but he still managed to score in double digits. With Leonard's return, Harden also seems more relaxed, allowing him to enjoy the game. Of course, Powell is the most comfortable player for the Clippers. In the previous game without Harden's help to attract defensive attention, Powell had an abysmal shooting rate of 1 out of 11 against the Thunder. This experience made Powell feel depressed as he felt the pressure Harden faces. In this game, with Leonard's return and Harden drawing defenders, these two leaders completely absorbed the Hawks' defense, allowing Powell to once again become a high-scoring player. Moreover, Harden has a clear advantage over Trae Young, as today marks the ninth time Harden has faced off against Trae Young in his career, maintaining an undefeated record of 9 wins and 0 losses. Trae Young, a rookie from 2018, has not played against Harden often due to the divisional differences and some injuries. However, analyzing their past encounters, it is evident that Harden has indeed declined somewhat. Particularly, his physical condition no longer allows him to consistently perform at a high level. In their past…

On December 30th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued with the Atlanta Hawks visiting the Toronto Raptors. The Hawks were on a three-game winning streak, high in morale; while the Raptors were on a nine-game losing streak, struggling. The game started with the Hawks taking an early lead and building a double-digit advantage, which the Raptors only managed to reduce to single digits towards the end of the second quarter. In the second half, Trae Young took charge of both scoring and organizing, leading the Hawks to score 40 points in the third quarter and extend the lead to over 20 points. In the final quarter, the Raptors attempted a comeback, but the Hawks maintained control of the game. Ultimately, the Hawks won convincingly with a score of 136-107. The Raptors boasted an enviable group of tall forwards, with obvious advantages in the paint. Throughout the game, the Raptors outrebounded the Hawks 52-40 and outscored them in the paint 54-46. However, the Raptors' tactics could not defeat the Hawks, who played with a fluid offense that was faster, steadier, and more accurate. The Hawks scored 30 fast-break points compared to the Raptors' 10, had 22 steals (the highest in the league in the last three years), forced 31 turnovers from the Raptors, and scored 30 points off those turnovers. Additionally, the Hawks shot 18 three-pointers at a 40% rate, while the Raptors shot only 7 out of 24 three-point attempts, with a meager 29.2% success rate. The Hawks' victory was comprehensive, with Trae Young demonstrating the power of a…

On the NBA court filled with passion and excitement, each game is a story of ups and downs, like a touching poem that writes about the glory and regret of the players, witnessing the rise and fall of the team. Among these, the match between the Chicago Bulls and the Atlanta Hawks is undoubtedly an especially thrilling chapter. The Bulls were then mired in rumors of "supermarket opening," with the turbulent atmosphere like a gloom hovering over the entire team. The players were in a precarious situation, as if they had lost their direction on the stormy seas, confused and uneasy. In contrast, the Hawks, led by league assist leader Trae Young, were gradually gaining momentum, like a black horse galloping on the grasslands, carrying an unstoppable momentum, constantly writing their own brilliance in the journey of the season. The game started like lighting a powder keg, with fierce battles and two crazy exchanges of fire. The scene was like waves in a storm, one wave after another. The Bulls relied on the heroic performance of Carter, White, and LaVine's trident, playing a magnificent offensive symphony in the first three quarters, with smooth attacks like mercury pouring out, once establishing a huge lead of 21 points. Carter came off the bench to score 19 points, which was his passionate poem on the court, second only to the legendary Stephenson in team history, as if declaring his extraordinaryness to the world; Pau Gasol, LaVine, and Kobe White joined forces in the second quarter to repel the Hawks' attack, like warriors fighting…
