Harden's near-triple-double, Morant helplessly swallows defeat. This game had me sweating in my palms, as if I were back on the outdoor court, drenched in sweat from those days. Back then, we were a bunch of rough-around-the-edges kids, our skills weren't great, but that fighting spirit still makes my blood boil when I think about it now. Harden, this old-timer, is still at ease on the court, his composure is truly remarkable. He's like an experienced chef, perfectly blending various offensive "ingredients" to satisfy his teammates. In this game, Harden's passing was truly an art, always finding the most comfortable angle to deliver the ball to his teammates. Look at that bounce pass, threading through the armpits of the Grizzlies players, accurately finding Zubac under the basket, who then easily dunks for points. That pass was simply brilliant! And his several passes after breaking through, the timing was just right, making the Grizzlies' defense scatter and fail to cope. It's like... just like how my wife cooks, mastering the heat so well that the dishes are full of color, flavor, and aroma, making them irresistible. Morant, on the other hand, is like a young wild horse, full of vitality and explosive power. His few breakaways were so fast they made my head spin, and I couldn't help but shout in excitement. But youth is still youth, and his lack of experience made him seem a bit rash in handling the ball at critical moments. Several strong attacks ended in turnovers, and if he could have been calmer, perhaps the outcome…

In a previous game between the Nuggets and the Nets, Nuggets player Russell Westbrook scored a triple-double with 25 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists. He achieved another triple-double alongside Jokic. After this game, Westbrook's career triple-doubles reached 202, continuing to hold the NBA record alone. This achievement can be described as unprecedented and unparalleled. Westbrook faced a lot of doubts during his time with the Lakers and Clippers. His poor performance once put him in a position where he might not be able to play in the offseason. However, this season, he has already achieved three triple-doubles in 36 games with the Nuggets, breaking many doubts. Famous American commentator Perkins criticized the Lakers and Clippers on the show, saying that it is obvious that Westbrook had several unpleasant years in Los Angeles. Looking at it now, these two teams have hindered Westbrook's growth. He has always been the most deserving player to win the championship. It can be seen from Perkins' remarks that he still highly recognizes Westbrook's abilities. It is worth noting that, according to statistics, Westbrook only managed one triple-double in 68 games for the Clippers last season. And in the 2021 to 2022 season, he only achieved 10 triple-doubles in 78 appearances for the Lakers.

Watching the heartfelt smile of 36-year-old Russ, I sincerely wish him well. Westbrook didn't have such a smile during his time with LAL and LAC. He complements Jokic, and in the game against the Nets, Westbrook scored 25 points, grabbed 11 rebounds, and dished out 10 assists, ending the game with a powerful dunk. Meanwhile, Jokic, playing alongside Westbrook, recorded 35 points, 15 assists, and 12 rebounds, achieving another triple-double together. After the game, in an interview at the Nuggets' home court, Westbrook hadn't even started speaking when the crowd erupted into cheers for him. The Thunderous One, earning a modest $3.3 million salary, found acceptance here. Westbrook said, "Nikola is the best player in the world; he makes the game simple, and I try to make the game simple too. Our whole team plays simpler." Post-game, Mike Malone spoke about Jokic and Westbrook achieving another triple-double together: "Folks, you're witnessing history. Every game can be a moment to witness history; our games are like the 'History Channel.'" This game saw the "Six Double Brothers" set multiple records: 1. Westbrook achieved his 202nd career triple-double, continuing to break the historical record; 2. Jokic recorded his 15th triple-double of the season, leading the league, with a total of 145 triple-doubles historically, ranking third and setting a new record for centers; 3. Westbrook and Jokic became the first pair to achieve a 25+ triple-double together; 4. They tied the record for the most triple-doubles in a season by a duo (previously held by Butler and Adebayo); 5. From 2009 to 2025, Westbrook…

In the NBA arena, Russell Westbrook has always been known for his powerful and dominant playing style. From his early days in the league, his lightning-fast breaks and passionate dunks were like surging tides, repeatedly attacking the opponent's defense and igniting the fans' enthusiasm. In those years, he often relied on his own strength to tear through the opponent's defense, single-handedly breaking into the paint, and scoring in the crowded restricted area, as if nothing could stop him. Westbrook is also the astonishing "triple-double machine," seemingly omnipresent on the court. He could compete for rebounds under the basket with the big men inside, and complete steals with lightning speed, initiate fast breaks, and then deliver precise assists to his teammates, helping them score easily. He defines the concept of an all-around player with his skills, repeatedly setting triple-double records and becoming a unique landscape in the league. However, this season, fans were surprised to find that this star, who has always had a tough and unique style, has quietly changed his approach! The once "ball-dominant" Westbrook now does more to set up his teammates on the court, willing to create opportunities for them, reducing his ball-handling solo play and increasing his off-ball movement and catch-and-shoot attempts. Such a significant change is like a cheetah suddenly retracting its claws and instead using its agility to cooperate with teammates in hunting, how can it not be surprising and curious? This change quickly sparked a wave of heated discussions among fans and the media, with everyone asking: What prompted Westbrook to make such…

In today's game where the Nuggets defeated the Nets, Westbrook replaced the injured Gordon and continued to start. In this match, Jokic also made a comeback after missing two games. It was expected that with Jokic's return, Westbrook's stats would decline, but surprisingly, Westbrook once again achieved a triple-double, shooting 8 for 17 from the field, 2 for 5 from three-point range, scoring 25 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists, marking his 202nd career triple-double. At the same time, his teammate Jokic also recorded a triple-double with 32 points, 15 rebounds, and 12 assists, the second time this season, making it even more impressive that both Westbrook and Jokic achieved triple-doubles simultaneously. Westbrook played so well that the Nuggets' home crowd was thrilled. During the post-game sideline interview, the reporter immediately approached Westbrook. Before the reporter could start speaking, the entire crowd began chanting "MVP" together. The reporter gestured for applause and then requested silence, but it was impossible to quiet down. After about 30 seconds, the reporter asked, "Congratulations, winner, how do you feel about the atmosphere here?" Westbrook replied, "It's amazing, it's a blessing, thank you to all the fans, you give me endless energy." Then the reporter held the microphone towards the audience and asked, "How do you feel about having Westbrook, such a legend on your team?" The crowd erupted again, with chants of "MVP" echoing throughout. The excitement didn't stop there. The reporter continued to ask Westbrook, "You've achieved your 202nd career triple-double today, what does this mean to you?" Westbrook responded, "It's just a…

On January 11, Beijing time, in an NBA regular season game, the Nuggets defeated the Nets to secure their second consecutive victory. Nikola Jokic remained the top vote-getter in the Western Conference for the second round of All-Star voting, but he lost his first place on the NBA's official MVP list to SGA, ending his streak of eight consecutive weeks at the top of the MVP rankings due to two games of rest. In this game, he returned with a stunning performance, scoring 35 points, grabbing 15 rebounds, dishing out 12 assists, and making 4 steals, while Russell Westbrook contributed 25 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists. Jokic's abilities are truly unparalleled. After casually dribbling the ball at the waist position, he can score in various ways, including hook shots, layups, and fadeaways. In one quarter alone, he went 8 for 6, scoring 14 points, grabbing 3 rebounds, dishing out 4 assists, and making 2 steals, completing a 2+1 under the basket against two defenders. The second quarter was Jokic's rotation time, during which he played only 7 minutes, going 2 for 5 from the field and 2 for 2 from the free-throw line, scoring 6 points, grabbing 2 rebounds, dishing out 2 assists, and making 1 steal. By halftime, Jokic had already accumulated 20 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 steals, seemingly on his way to another triple-double. American media outlets believe that Jokic has the potential to dominate Shaquille O'Neal. In the third quarter, Jokic played 10 minutes, going 2 for 3 from the field and 1…

On January 11th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season saw the Nuggets defeat the Nets 124-109 at home, sweeping the Nets for the second time this season. Jokic returned to the court after missing two games due to illness, going 13 of 19 from the field for 35 points, 12 rebounds, 15 assists, and 4 steals. He played both offensively and defensively, making an unreasonable 2+1 without looking at the basket, with a +33 plus-minus rating, delivering another MVP-level performance; Westbrook had 25 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists, with a +21 plus-minus rating, as Jokic and Westbrook both recorded triple-doubles again. Due to illness, Jokic missed consecutive games against the Celtics and Clippers. Today, Jokic returned to full health and immediately displayed his dominance in his first game back; in the first quarter, he ravaged the paint, continuously scoring points, and even made an unreasonable 2+1 without looking at the basket, going 6 of 8 for 14 points in the quarter, grabbing 3 rebounds, and dishing out 4 assists, showcasing his versatility. In the second quarter, Jokic played very relaxed on the court, with Westbrook, Struthers, and Watson providing firepower. The Nuggets won the quarter 33-23, overtaking the score by 10 points. At halftime, the Nuggets led 65-59 by 6 points; in the first half, Jokic went 8 of 13 for 20 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 steals, while Westbrook contributed 11 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists. In the third quarter, Jokic opened the scoring with a three-pointer, easily layup in transition, protected rebounds, and connected…

On January 11th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued with the Nuggets hosting the Nets. Despite the absence of several key players for the Nets, they started off strong and took control of the game. However, the Nuggets fought back to take the lead and extended their advantage, leading by as many as 22 points at one point. The Nets made a comeback attempt in the fourth quarter, narrowing the gap, but ultimately fell short. In the end, the Nuggets defeated the Nets 124-105. The Nets' performance was commendable, as they initially took control of the game with multiple players contributing. Unfortunately, the lack of a primary scorer proved costly, resulting in a 19-point loss. A total of seven Nets players scored in double figures, with Keon Johnson leading the way with 22 points, Martin adding 19, and Simmons contributing 10. Several role players seized the opportunity to showcase their abilities, but it wasn't enough to avoid a crushing defeat. On the Nuggets' side, Murray's early exit due to injury did not deter Jokic, who continued his dominant form, being in a league of his own on the court. In 38 minutes of play, he shot 14 out of 21, accumulating 35 points, 12 rebounds, and 15 assists for a triple-double. His plus-minus rating of +33, along with four steals, were all team highs. Jokic was unstoppable on the court, solidifying his status as the top player in the paint. This was his 15th triple-double of the season, ranking first in the league. Westbrook also had an impressive outing,…

Westbrook has exploded onto the scene! In a thrilling match-up at the Denver Nuggets' home court against the Utah Jazz, the game has just concluded with the crowd in an uproar. Westbrook delivered a triple-double performance with a perfect 100% shooting rate, etching his name once again into NBA history. How rare is this feat? Only six players have achieved it in history, and among them, four are current active players! In the game where the Nuggets triumphed over the Jazz with a score of 132-121, Westbrook played for 32 minutes, going 7-for-7 from the field and 2-for-2 from the free-throw line, tallying 16 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, and adding 4 steals. These are not ordinary statistics; they represent a historic level of achievement. Analyzing this stunning game from four dimensions—statistical data, background review, highlight replays, and starting lineups—provides a panoramic view of the moments that made history. Statistical Data: History Records Only the Greatest Moments History speaks through numbers, which do not deceive. To date, there have been only eight instances in NBA history of a triple-double with both field goal and free-throw shooting rates at 100%, and Westbrook accounts for two of these. This remarkable accomplishment is so challenging that in over half a century, from 1970 to 2024, only six players have completed this seemingly impossible task: Wes Unseld (Bullets) 16 points, 30 rebounds, 13 assists, 7-for-7 shooting, 2-for-2 free throws. Russell Westbrook (Thunder) 18 points, 11 rebounds, 14 assists, 6-for-6 shooting, 6-for-6 free throws. Evan Turner (Trail Blazers) 13 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists, 5-for-5…

A player labeled as a "ball hog" and an old veteran believed to be nearing the end of his career, can he really regain his glory? Russell Westbrook has fiercely responded to external doubts with his performance in the Nuggets. He made 12 out of 13 shots, scored 32 points, had 21 assists, and also set a record as the first player in NBA history to achieve a triple-double with three different teammates. This is not about "cherry-picking stats" or "showboating," but a thrilling comeback. However, how many people can see his persistence, transformation, and belief behind this? Back in the day, Westbrook's name was considered a "god" by many fans. In the 2016-17 season, he successfully achieved an average triple-double for the season (31.6 points, 10.7 rebounds, 10.4 assists), becoming the second player in NBA history after "big brother" Oscar Robertson to accomplish this feat. That year, he won the MVP and stood at the peak of his career. At that time, Westbrook was like a sports car, ready to run over anyone who dared to get in his way. His characteristics are very obvious: full of impact and fighting spirit that commands respect. On the court, he is always the hardest worker, never "slacking off." Moreover, his selflessness towards his teammates is widely recognized. He is willing to pass the ball, create opportunities, and do everything for the team's victory. Many say he is a "stats maniac," but think about it carefully, would someone who only cares about stats have so many desperate performances in critical moments? However,…
