On January 3rd, Beijing time, the NBA regular season saw the Warriors defeat the 76ers in a spectacular performance by Curry. He played for 30 minutes, shooting 11 of 15 and making all 8 of his three-point attempts, scoring 30 points, 10 assists, and 6 rebounds. In the third quarter alone, he scored 13 points, and in the fourth quarter, he hit three consecutive three-pointers that forced the 76ers to concede early. Curry finished the game early, sitting on the bench with a big smile on his face. The Warriors hosted the 76ers, with Curry starting the game by hitting a three-pointer. Schroder followed with two more from beyond the arc, giving the Warriors a dream start of 17-6. Despite the 76ers' counterattack, the Warriors maintained control of the game. Schroder, Moody, and Hield contributed with their own three-pointers, leading to a 35-19 advantage at the end of the first quarter. Curry had 3 points, 3 assists, and 2 rebounds in the first quarter, while Schroder scored 9 points. In the second quarter, the Warriors continued to maintain a double-digit lead in the back-and-forth battle. Curry made a fake move that sent Embiid flying before calmly sinking a three-pointer. He then ignored the defense to make another three-pointer. At halftime, the Warriors still led by 16 points. Curry had 11 points from 6 shots, Wiggins scored 10 points, and the team collectively made 13 three-pointers, raining threes at home and playing a beautiful offensive game with 22 assists in the half.

On January 3rd, Beijing time, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Philadelphia 76ers to avoid consecutive defeats. Stephen Curry was in great competitive form in this game, hitting a three-pointer at the opening and quickly finding his range from beyond the arc. The team led by 16 points in the first quarter and maintained control throughout the game to secure the victory. Curry finished with 30 points, 10 assists, 6 rebounds, and 8 three-pointers. The Warriors' outside shooting was explosive from the start, with Curry hitting one three-pointer, Schroder hitting three, Kuminga hitting one, Hield hitting one, and Moody hitting one. The Warriors rained down a barrage of shots that overwhelmed the 76ers. In the first quarter, Curry played for 9 minutes, hitting 1 of 1 from three-point range for 3 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 steal. However, he missed two layups, which was somewhat embarrassing. In the second quarter, Curry hit another three-pointer and followed it up with another from the corner. He went 3 for 3 from the field and 2 for 2 from three-point range in the quarter, scoring 8 points, 1 rebound, and 2 assists. Curry's efficiency continued to rise, and the gap between the two teams widened. In the third quarter, Curry continued to hit his three-pointers, demonstrating just how accurate he was in this game. This also highlighted the low defensive intensity the 76ers were giving him. Curry scored a layup in transition to extend the lead to 20 points. In the quarter, Curry played for 8 minutes, going 5 for 7…

The competition in the Eastern Conference is becoming increasingly fierce, with the Cavaliers currently firmly occupying first place in the league, their form being overwhelmingly strong. Honestly speaking, the Cavaliers have become increasingly invincible in recent times. Even if you are a strong team, you will probably have to give it your all if you want to challenge their top spot. In contrast to the Celtics, their health situation has made fans' hearts skip a beat, especially with the consecutive injuries to Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, leading to a losing streak at home. Injuries have indeed caused a decline in their overall performance, but don't forget that this team is still considered one of the biggest contenders for the championship even during an injury-riddled period. The core lineup of the Celtics remains formidable, especially Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, who are simply irreplaceable. The Celtics are not giving up, while the Knicks are taking advantage of the momentum, their recent performances are like they've been injected with a shot of adrenaline, having already achieved an eight-game winning streak, and are steadily making a push for the second spot in the East. Although they are still some distance away from the Celtics, who dares say that this competition is settled? It's really worth everyone's deep thought that the Knicks can pull off such a winning streak at this time. The young Magic team has also shown great tenacity, despite suffering from injuries, they remain firmly in the top four in the East. The resilience of this team is truly impressive,…

Smith Asks Lakers for $100 Million Extension Contract, Decides to Opt Out of Contract, Puts Forward a Condition to Redick According to the latest report by journalist Jovan Buha from the "Los Angeles Times," newly traded Lakers small forward Finney-Smith has informed management that he plans to decline his player option at the end of the season and seek a renewal contract worth around $100 million over four years, with the hope of securing a starting position. The Lakers' acquisition of Finney-Smith is expected to aid in their playoff push, as he can significantly alleviate the pressure Davis faces in the paint defensively, allowing LeBron James to focus more on offense. In his debut game with the Lakers, Finney-Smith came off the bench for 20 minutes, contributing only 2 points, 2 assists, and 2 rebounds, not particularly impressive statistically. However, head coach Redick appreciates his performance on the court and believes he has the ability to switch and defend against opposing centers when necessary. Redick stated that Finney-Smith's defensive execution, physicality, and intensity are all excellent, making him a reliable role player. Redick has assigned Finney-Smith to come off the bench behind Hachimura, often playing alongside James, Davis, and Reeves, and has effectively defended against Jarrett Allen or Mobley while maintaining good foul control, not allowing the Cavaliers many free throw opportunities. It will take time for Finney-Smith to fully integrate into Redick's tactical system, and it will require more games to develop chemistry with James and Davis. Redick also plans to increase Finney-Smith's playing time. However, Finney-Smith is not…

In a major trade involving Karl-Anthony Towns at the start of the season, Donte DiVincenzo and Julius Randle were sent to the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, his performance at the beginning of this season did not meet expectations. In fact, DiVincenzo has always had the problem of starting slowly. Last season, when he played for the Knicks, he could only average 8.5 points in the first two months, with a shooting percentage of 39.6% and a three-point percentage of 39.7%. He started to heat up in December, and from January to the end of the regular season, DiVincenzo's scoring average increased to 18.8 points, with a shooting percentage also rising to 44%, along with a three-point percentage of 37.8%. During the 2022-23 season with the Golden State Warriors, the situation was similar. In October and November, DiVincenzo averaged only 5 points, with a shooting percentage of 35.9% and a three-point percentage of 34.8%. But around New Year's Day, he warmed up again, and from January to the end of the season, he could average 10.7 points, with a shooting percentage of 45% and a three-point percentage of 40.4%. This season's situation is the same as the previous two seasons. With his form warming up in December, he now seems to have found his place with the Minnesota Timberwolves. In Monday's game where the Timberwolves defeated the San Antonio Spurs 112-110, DiVincenzo scored a team-high 26 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists. This game was also his third consecutive game scoring in double digits and his second consecutive game scoring over 20…

On January 1st, Beijing time, the NBA was bustling with six regular season games. Once these matches concluded, the latest rankings were officially unveiled. Let's talk about the Bucks and Pacers game, where Giannis Antetokounmpo made his return. However, what was unexpected was Damian Lillard's poor performance, shooting only 3 out of 14 for a total of 9 points. The Bucks were once down by 19 points, which had me quite anxious. Fortunately, Giannis Antetokounmpo played exceptionally well, and with the support of Lopez and Trent, they managed to pull off a great comeback. By the end of the game, Giannis Antetokounmpo's stats were impressive, scoring 30 points, grabbing 12 rebounds, and dishing out 5 assists. This victory ended their two-game losing streak, propelling them to fifth place in the East, while the Pacers settled at eighth. I'm the Celtics, and recently, I've been criticized for my excessive three-point attempts in games, with Jayson Tatum's lackluster performance also drawing harsh criticism. However, today, I finally rose to the occasion with an excellent performance! Tatum also showed signs of recovery, shooting 6 out of 13 for 23 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 assists. Ultimately, we defeated the Raptors by a record-breaking 54 points, setting a new high for the season. This 54-point margin is the largest of the season, surpassing the Grizzlies' 51-point win over the Warriors on December 20th. After this victory, we remain firmly in second place in the East, while the Raptors suffered their 11th consecutive loss, remaining at the bottom of the East in 14th place. Today,…

The Clippers defeated the Warriors 102-92, successfully stabilizing the situation and rejecting the Warriors' comeback attempt! The plot of this game was truly unpredictable, making the audience's hearts race, especially with the Clippers' explosive performance in the third quarter, which was breathtaking. If it weren't for the Warriors missing several key opportunities at the end, who knows if the outcome would have been different? The game started with both teams fiercely competing. Zubac's dunk opened the scoring for the Clippers, while the Warriors did not back down, with Davis and Li Keller responding in kind, as the score remained close throughout. However, the Clippers' Dunn, Jones, and Powell suddenly erupted, combining for a 9-0 run that briefly gave them the lead. Despite Kuminga's three-pointer keeping the Warriors in the game, they still trailed 21-19 at the end of the first quarter. Honestly, that 9-0 run caught the Warriors off guard, and if it weren't for Kuminga's timely response from beyond the arc, the game might have been taken away by the Clippers. In the second quarter, the game became even more intense. The Clippers started strong with Dunn's layup, but the Warriors quickly responded with Kuminga's four points to pull ahead. Both teams engaged in an offensive battle, with the Warriors' Li Keller and Hield hitting threes to take the lead again, only for the Clippers' Harden and Coffey to respond with their own threes to regain the advantage. At halftime, the Clippers led 49-43, creating a tense atmosphere where neither team could establish a significant lead. But in the…

On the morning of December 24, NBA regular season continued with the Warriors hosting the Pacers. The Pacers have been in hot form recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 games. The Warriors, on the other hand, have been performing averagely, with somewhat insufficient overall competitiveness. In the first half, neither team managed to pull away, with the Pacers holding a slim 8-point advantage. In the second half, the Warriors' comeback attempt was mediocre, as they only managed to close the gap by 4 points in the third quarter and fell further behind in the fourth, ultimately losing 105-111. Curry had an average game, shooting 2 for 13 from the field, scoring 10 points with 5 rebounds and 7 assists. Kuminga came off the bench to shoot 9 for 16, scoring 26 points with 8 rebounds and 4 assists, the highest scorer for the team and the only player to score over 20 points. The Lakers hosted the Pistons, where despite a clear difference in overall strength, the Lakers lacked overall competitiveness and a stable offensive output. At halftime, the Lakers held a slight 2-point lead, but the fourth quarter saw a thrilling climax with suspense building! In the final moments, James attempted a buzzer-beating three-pointer that bounced off the rim a few times before missing, which could have potentially sent the game into overtime. The final score was 114-117. James scored 28 points with 11 rebounds and 11 assists, while Christie scored 17 points. The Pistons won due to strong bench performances from players like Beasley, Fontecchio, Osar,…

The Warriors suffered a crushing defeat at home to the Cavaliers, with a score of 95-113, causing their record to drop to 16 wins and 16 losses, slipping to 10th place in the standings. The Cavaliers extended their winning streak to seven games and remain atop the Eastern Conference. Stephen Curry struggled, scoring only 11 points, while Schroder also underperformed with 12 points. Trez contributed 16 points and 16 rebounds. For the Cavaliers, Mitchell scored 23 points, Garland had 25 points, and Allen added 12 points and 9 rebounds. The Cavaliers have been incredibly strong this season. Although there is still a long way to go in the season, I dare say they have virtually secured the Eastern Conference championship. To date, they have only lost four games and are likely to break the Warriors' previous record of 73 wins. In this game, the Warriors played averagely overall. The first half was closely contested, but in the second quarter, the Cavaliers pulled away. By the third quarter, they had extended their lead into double digits, and by the fourth quarter, the game entered garbage time as the Cavaliers easily secured the victory. The Nuggets defeated the Jazz 132-121 on the road, securing their second consecutive win. Jokic had an explosive performance with 36 points, 22 rebounds, and 11 assists. Wiz returned to his peak form, going 7-for-7 from the field to finish with 16 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists. Porter scored 21 points, and Murray added 20 points and 10 assists. For the Jazz, Sexton had 22 points, Clarkson…

This season of the NBA can truly be described as a display of diverse talents and unexpected developments! As the season progresses, both the Thunder in the West and the Cavaliers in the East have consistently shown dominant performances, maintaining their positions as leaders. The Thunder have achieved a remarkable 12-game winning streak, with a record of 27 wins and 5 losses, securing the top spot in the West with a five-game lead over the second-place team. Similarly, the Cavaliers in the East have been steadily winning games, demonstrating their dominance with a record of 29 wins and 4 losses, leading the second-place Celtics by five games. The Thunder and Cavaliers represent the epitome of stability this season. However, there are also teams within the league that started poorly but managed to turn things around later in the season. Notable examples include the Grizzlies and Mavericks from the West, as well as the Bucks and 76ers from the East. These teams did not perform well at the beginning of the season; the Bucks and 76ers were even ranked at the bottom of the Eastern Conference for an extended period. But in the past month or so, they have rediscovered their winning ways. In their last 19 games, the Bucks have won 14, propelling them to fifth place in the East. The 76ers have won 10 out of their last 13 games, moving up from last place in the East to eleventh. They are the epitome of teams that started slow but picked up momentum later. On the other hand, there…
