In an intense NBA game, the Warriors defeated the Wizards 122-114. However, Warriors owner Joe Lacob found no joy in the victory. What appeared to be a routine regular-season win actually concealed numerous hidden dangers, casting a shadow over the team's future. The frequent injuries to key players have severely compromised the lineup's integrity. Starting power forward Draymond Green had previously missed three consecutive games due to illness and back injuries. In this game, Green only played for 3 minutes, missing his only shot attempt and securing just one rebound before being forced to leave the court due to calf tightness. Whether he will continue to miss games remains uncertain, which undoubtedly poses a significant challenge to the team's interior defense and tactical execution. Despite playing a crucial role in the game, Curry struggled with his shooting in the first half. However, he showed no hesitation in the clutch moments, making a step-back jumper that sent Kuzma flying and hitting a critical three-pointer. Throughout the game, Curry went 10-for-22 from the field, 4-for-14 from beyond the arc, scoring 26 points with 5 rebounds and 6 assists. Heart-wrenchingly, in the closing stages of the game, Curry was pressed on the leg by the falling Poole, limping off the court early and returning to the locker room, with his injury status unclear. If Curry were to miss the next game, the Warriors would face the daunting prospect of having three core starters out due to injuries. Despite Coach Kerr strictly limiting playing time for the players throughout the season, the team has…

On January 16th, 2025, Beijing time, what seemed like an ordinary day became exceptionally brilliant due to 11 thrilling games. Western powerhouses such as the Lakers, Warriors, and Clippers took the stage, and the Western standings experienced significant changes after the matches, causing fans' hearts to rise and fall. Let's start with the Lakers' game, where they faced the Heat at home without Butler. For the Lakers, who had suffered three consecutive losses, this match was akin to a "life-and-death battle." However, no one could have predicted that the Heat would suppress the Lakers throughout the first half, leading by as many as 14 points and still ahead by 12 at halftime. Just when everyone thought the Lakers were about to suffer another defeat, the Lakers in the second half seemed to awaken a "sleeping beast." They made up 10 points in the third quarter and went on a scoring spree in the fourth, winning the quarter by 11 points and ultimately completing a great comeback with a 9-point advantage. LeBron James was in top form, shooting 9 for 15 to score 22 points, 5 rebounds, and 9 assists, while Anthony Davis was not to be outdone, shooting 10 for 21 to score 22 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 assists. Rui Hachimura was even more efficient, shooting 9 for 15 to score 23 points and 8 rebounds. After the victory, the Lakers' record improved to 21 wins and 17 losses, jumping from seventh to sixth in the West, which undoubtedly gave the team and fans a strong boost. The Clippers,…

On January 19th, Beijing time, the Atlanta Hawks pulled off a stunning overtime victory against the Boston Celtics, the Golden State Warriors narrowly defeated the Washington Wizards at home, the Cleveland Cavaliers won a close game on the road against the Minnesota Timberwolves, and the Houston Rockets achieved a big win away against the Portland Trail Blazers. Here's a brief summary of today's games! The Warriors edged out the Wizards with a score of 122-114. In the first half, the Wizards took the lead thanks to a strong performance by Bradley Beal, who hit several difficult three-pointers. The Warriors' offense relied heavily on Andrew Wiggins and Stephen Curry to keep them in the game, as they trailed by seven points at halftime. However, after the break, the Warriors' offense exploded, with players like Dennis Schroder, Wiggins, Curry, and Jordan Poole all finding their shooting touch. They scored over 30 points in two consecutive quarters to turn the tide and ultimately secure the win, moving up to tenth place in the standings ahead of the Phoenix Suns. Curry suffered an ankle injury in the fourth quarter, putting the Warriors in a tough spot once again. Kyle Kuzma scored 22 points, Beal had 38 points, Wiggins contributed 31 points and 11 rebounds, Curry added 26 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists, and Schroder chipped in with 20 points. The Hawks shocked the Celtics in overtime, with the Celtics exerting significant offensive pressure on the Hawks in the first quarter.

Recently, James' new remarks have become a hot topic of discussion. In the "NBA OGS" talk show and more content from the previous summit meeting between James, Curry, and Durant shared by the NBA official, James stated that if it weren't for Draymond Green, Curry, and Durant, he might already have six championship rings. From this statement alone, it is clear that James has indeed been hindered by these three formidable opponents, standing just one step away from the championship. From 2015 to 2018, the Cavaliers and the Warriors met in the finals for four consecutive years, with the Warriors winning three championships and the Cavaliers one. James has entered the finals consecutively from 2011 to 2018, leading the Heat to victory in 2012 and 2013, and the Cavaliers in 2016. In the finals of 2017 and 2018, after Durant joined the Warriors, they became even stronger, sweeping the Cavaliers 4-1 and 4-0 respectively. Unfortunately, I watched those games where James failed to win the championship, which was indeed heart-wrenching. It must be said that especially after Durant's addition, the Warriors dynasty became even more stable. Durant's joining made the Warriors invincible, with a versatile player, a three-point king, and a DPOY. Such a team is really hard to break through, with peak configurations both inside and outside. It was really lucky for James to take away a championship in 2016. James possesses superhuman personal abilities and leadership skills, leading his team to excellent results multiple times in his career. The Cavaliers' consecutive entry into the finals could demonstrate their…

Double-core injury withdrawal! The Warriors have won two consecutive victories, but it is difficult to express joy as both core players, Green and Curry, were forced to leave the game due to injuries. At the same time, former player Poole faced his old team and delivered a landmark performance, scoring 8 three-pointers and a total of 38 points, making one wonder if Green's punch drove away the perfect successor to Curry. After a tough victory over the Timberwolves in the previous game, the Warriors improved their record to 20 wins and 20 losses, returning to a 50% win rate, but still ranked 11th in the Western Conference. The Wizards, on the other hand, are in a state of disarray with a record of 6 wins and 33 losses, at the bottom of the league, and are currently on an 8-game losing streak. Despite playing away from home, the Wizards did not show any fear against the Warriors. In the first half, under Poole's fiery performance, they firmly controlled the situation and kept pressing the Warriors. Fortunately, Curry's form improved in the second half, along with contributions from Wiggins and Schroder, and the frontcourt rebounds were continuously grabbed by the Warriors' big men, leading to a 122-114 comeback victory over the Wizards. The Warriors have now won two consecutive games and moved up to tenth place, surpassing the Suns. The Wizards suffered their ninth consecutive loss and remain at the bottom of the standings, continuing their pursuit of the No. 1 pick in the 25-year draft, Flagler. Although the Warriors have…

On January 19, 2025, Beijing time, the 20-win and 20-loss Warriors faced the 6-win and 33-loss Wizards at home. This was a must-win game for the Warriors. The Warriors' Green returned from injury, while Kuminga and Bojia were absent. The starting lineup for the Warriors was Curry, Schroder, Wiggins, Green, and Davis, while the Wizards started with Poole, Carleton, Culibali, Kuzma, and Sar. How would Poole perform against his former team? In the first quarter, Wiggins scored a layup and Schroder hit a three-pointer, to which Poole responded with five consecutive points, making it 5-5. Green left the court due to leg tension. Schroder and Wiggins scored another five points, putting the Warriors ahead 10-5. However, Culibali, Carleton, and Sar tied the score. Looney scored four points, but Poole and Kispert added six points, giving the Wizards a two-point lead. After a timeout, Curry hit a three-pointer, but George and Kispert responded with threes of their own, extending the Wizards' lead to five points. Wiggins, Hield, and Moody also scored, but Culibali hit two more threes in response. At the end of the first quarter, the Wizards led 29-25. In the second quarter, George hit a three-pointer and Kuzma made two free throws, giving the Wizards a nine-point lead. Curry scored five points and Payton hit a three-pointer, reducing the gap to one point.

Kispert and Poole scored for the Wizards, to which Davis and Wiggins responded,…

The Golden State Warriors defeated the Washington Wizards at home with a score of 122-114, securing their second consecutive victory. With a current record of 21 wins and 20 losses, they are ranked 10th in the Western Conference, tied with the 11th-ranked Phoenix Suns. Both teams have faced challenges this year, with Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry experiencing difficulties. Initially, both teams were among the top contenders in the West, but they have since fallen behind. The Suns' problem lies in Bradley Beal taking up too much space, making the team top-heavy. However, the Suns have recently decided to go all-in, planning to trade Beal and their remaining first-round pick for Jimmy Butler. The Suns aim to form a starting lineup featuring Chris Paul as point guard, Devin Booker as shooting guard, Jimmy Butler as small forward, Kevin Durant as power forward, and Deandre Ayton as center. They only need to replace Beal with Butler to make one final push, considering they have already spent 188milliononluxurytaxthisseason,totaling188 million on luxury tax this season, totaling 188milliononluxurytaxthisseason,totaling400 million in expenses. The Suns' spending ability surpasses even the Warriors, who have won several championships, while the Suns remain in the play-in tournament. Unfortunately, they have exhausted their draft picks, leaving the owner with no choice but to continue gambling, as tanking would be useless. Compared to the Suns, the Warriors' situation is slightly better, but their fate seems to be sealed. There are likely only two outcomes: either they fail to qualify for the play-in tournament or they make it to the playoffs only…

On January 19th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season saw the Warriors defeat the Wizards at home, sending them to a ninth consecutive loss. However, the Warriors suffered two key injuries during the game, with Draymond Green leaving after only three minutes due to injury and Stephen Curry's right ankle being stepped on by Poole, causing him to painfully exit the game early. The Warriors managed to overturn the game against the Wizards at home, with Wiggins scoring 31 points, grabbing 11 rebounds, providing 4 assists, blocking 2 shots, and stealing 1 ball, leading the team to victory in an impressive performance; however, their win was overshadowed by a series of injuries. In the first quarter, Draymond Green suddenly left the court due to tension in his left calf and had to withdraw from the game after just three minutes upon his return. In the crucial moments of the fourth quarter, Curry blocked Poole on defense but was then stepped on by Poole as he fell, causing Curry to roll in pain and limp off the court, ultimately leaving the game early. After the game, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr stated that Curry claimed his ankle sprain was not serious, and Green will undergo an MRI tomorrow. Both players have now been placed on the daily observation list. Curry commented on his ankle injury, saying, "I feel good, see you next Tuesday." Currently, the Warriors are plagued with injuries, with Kuminga recovering from an injury, Green returning only to play for three minutes before getting injured again, potentially missing some…

LeBron James, a legendary figure in the NBA, has confidently declared himself the greatest player in basketball history on numerous public occasions. In an in-depth interview, James elaborated on why he dares to claim the title of NBA's GOAT with such confidence. He pointed out that his career spans multiple eras of basketball, from the twilight of the Lakers dynasty to the iron-blooded reign of the Spurs, and now the glory of the Warriors. Not only has he witnessed the rise and fall of these dynasties, but he has also played a key role in them. He proudly mentioned that he not only defeated the powerful Spurs dynasty and the Warriors dynasty but also successfully brought the championship trophy into his possession, which undoubtedly serves as the best proof of his basketball career. James particularly highlighted the 2016 NBA Finals, one of the most glorious moments of his career. Facing a desperate situation at 1:3, he led the Cavaliers to an astonishing comeback, winning three consecutive games and ultimately capturing the championship trophy. He questioned whether anyone else in the long history of the NBA could achieve such a feat. Even basketball god Michael Jordan or Lakers legend Kobe Bryant had never accomplished something like this. Therefore, James firmly believes that he is the greatest star, a view that he holds steadfastly. Moreover, James emphasized his versatility on the court. He proudly stated that he can perform perfectly from position 1 to position 5, making him one of the greatest players in basketball history. Since 2010, James' career has reached…

Klay Thompson, known for his cold-blooded three-point shooting on the NBA court, recently faced a chill in his career during the Mavericks vs. Thunder game. In the crucial moments of the game, he was benched by head coach Kidd, unable to play a key role as usual. This decision left Thompson feeling unprecedented dissatisfaction and disappointment. In a post-game interview, his words revealed deep frustration, and he openly expressed his stance: "In the Warriors, no one would dare to bench me in the critical moments." Thompson proudly recalled his glorious past, where he had won four championships with the Warriors, contributing significantly with his precise three-point shots. His name is closely linked with the Warriors' illustrious history. However, now with the Mavericks, he feels neglected like never before. Thompson firmly believes he still has the ability to change the course of the game in critical moments. He hopes to be heavily utilized in his new team to prove his worth. The four-time champion chose to leave the Warriors during the offseason and join the Mavericks, stating that even with a pay cut, he sought opportunities to prove himself. He longs to regain respect in a new environment and demonstrate that he still possesses the skills of a top player. However, reality dealt him a heavy blow. Thompson has not been able to lead the Mavericks to expected success, and his own performance has declined. This season, his three-point shooting percentage dropped to 36%, lower than last season, causing him great concern about his future. Thompson's statements are not only a…
