On the occasion of the Lunar New Year in China, many NBA teams, including Trailblazers, Cavaliers, Nuggets and Clippers, congratulated China fans on their auspicious and happy Year of the Tiger on their official social media homepages. The Warriors even changed their social media homepages to red and yellow. Curry, the famous star, opened a video to chat with fans about China cuisine on New Year's Eve. Apart from the hot pot that made Curry immersed in it, jiaozi, steamed buns, crayfish and roast duck were all available.
Before introducing today's NBA game, Zi Yu will take you to see some latest information from the other side of the ocean:
1. Jazz striker ingels injured his left knee in the game against the Timberwolves, and was diagnosed with torn anterior cruciate ligament by magnetic resonance imaging. I have to say that the injury is worse than the tiger. If Jazz is still traveling in the playoffs this season, Mitchell, the main defender who has always been at odds with Gaubert, will take the initiative to apply for a deal.
3. In addition to promising to find a home for veteran millsap, the recent poor performance of Bruce Brown and James Johnson has been ignored in the trading market. After Durant, Harden and Aldridge were injured one after another, the Nets slowed down the plan of trading center claxton, and it is expected that Owen will still lead the team in the away game against Suns.
4. After beating the defending champion Bucks by 36 points away, the Nuggets have good news again. Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr., the two main players, are likely to come back this season. It is not easy for Jokic to walk all the way alone this season. If the two players can return with blood, the Nuggets will surely become the showstopper of the Western Conference playoffs.
5. Bill injured his left wrist and will miss the next two away games against Bucks and 76ers. This season, it seems that as long as Bill doesn't play, the Wizards will start to win. This time, he will face the two major rivals in the East one after another. I wonder what achievements Kuzma can achieve when he leads the team.
In the absence of Embidde, the Philadelphia 76ers narrowly beat the visiting Grizzlies by 3 points in overtime. The heroes who won the game were Maxi, Harris and drummond. Maxi scored 33 points and 8 assists and sent out 4 blocks. Harris contributed 31 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, and Zhuang Shen got 16 points, 23 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks, including 11 offensive rebounds. After the game, Embiid was as excited as a child in the player's lane. I have to say that coach Rivers is suitable to lead a civilian team. If you give him a lineup of 111 points, he can bring out the feeling of 81 points. If you give him a lineup of 61 points, he can bring out a surprise of 91 points.
With Zaire-Williams missing three points at the last minute, the Grizzlies' three-game winning streak was ended, Morant and Bain scored 37 points and 34 points respectively, Morant played a little over the top in overtime, and after missing a three-pointer with a big open space, the lead was beaten alive. Today, it is obvious that Bain feels better. If Dillon Brooks can play, the Grizzlies' outside line will not be blown up by Maxi. These may all be for the Grizzlies Youth Army.
The Warriors visited Houston, and 122-118 won 6 consecutive victories over the Rockets. Curry scored 41 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists, including 21 points in the fourth quarter and more than 21 points in the 37th quarter of his career. This figure surpassed Kobe Bryant and rose to the 1 th in the history of the league. Wiggins scored 23 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocked shots. The data columns were all full. Clay-
The rookie Kumingga didn't play well in this game. He only got the basket and didn't look at his teammates, which led to the frequent narrowing of the points on the court by the Rockets. Moody hit three three points after being placed in the starting lineup, which didn't live up to his usual hard training. Moody didn't suffer losses on the defensive end, and he could understand Cole's tactics and score three points. Therefore, he will be more suitable for the Warriors' attack and defense system than Damian Lee in the future.
The Rockets swallowed a four-game losing streak. Wood scored 24 points and 13 rebounds, Porter Jr. and Jay Green scored 17 points and 11 points respectively. The four rookies selected by the Rockets this season, Garruba, are leveling in the Development League, and Christopher is making progress every game. The small goal now is to try not to dribble to his feet. Due to the height limit, he will make mistakes when he applies for Beijing, and the defense often leaks people, which leads to many fouls. Although Jay-Green has some talents in starting speed and athletic ability, there are too many balls with two defenders and then getting a hat. The poor offensive choice is a direct manifestation of the low player's business. The possibility of playing is similar to that of Harden winning ten championships. If the Rockets have a rookie with the same position and a high ranking next season, Jay-Green's playing time will be greatly reduced.
Pelinka, the general manager of the Lakers, has repeatedly tried to use Tucker Jr. as the main bargaining chip to trade high-quality role players, but other opponents in the league refused, which proves how stupid it is for the Lakers to smash the annual salary contract to Tucker, who can only hold the ball and can't shoot. caruso's scoring ability is as bad as Tucker's, but no matter which team he goes to, the players and defensive ability belong to the popular type. If Monk and Anthony don't come forward to save the team from time to time, the Lakers' current ranking will probably only be worse than that of the Rockets at the bottom of the West
At present, this Lakers team is really a domestic trouble and a foreign invasion. The foreign invasion is that no one can win, and the internal trouble is that there is an undercurrent inside the team. Thick eyebrows, Monk, Anthony and even the new Stanley Johnson are unabashedly unwilling to pass the ball to Wei Shao. The so-called Big Three of the Lakers actually have only two giants. After all, Wei Shao is disliked by 31 teams in the league, including the Lakers, and it is really impossible to equate with the word giant. What makes Lakers fans even more angry is that the management even intends to trade center Howard, and has already inquired about several teams. Even if Howard's strength is no longer good, his ability to protect the frame and eat cakes is better than that of Jordan Jr. If the Lakers missed all the right options in the offseason last year, they would choose to trade Howard, who only got the basic salary, and leave Jordan Jr. with poor performance, it would be not far before Pelinka was fired.
