4. Hot news
1. The Eagles actively traded Corinth
According to ESPN, the Hawks have been actively involved in trade discussions, particularly around forward John Collins.
2. Russell talks about trading rumors
Russell spoke to Yahoo Sports and said I'm not new to trade rumors. You either use me and my abilities, or you ruin this opportunity with me, it's that simple.
3. Reporters compare Simmons and Green
Reporter Zach Lowe said on the show that Simmons and Green are not the same type of defensive players. Simmons is a great defensive player, and Green is the best defensive player in the last 10-15 years, since Duncan's performance has declined due to age. Simmons will definitely not be able to protect the box like Green, who is a special and unique defender. Simmons is a very, great, multi-skill defensive player. But he's not a defensive player like Green.
4. Platinum talks about partnering with Doncic
Platinum said Doncic and I weren't the right match, and that's it. We had some good moments. In my first season before entering the park, I started out playing well. Then in the park, the two of us started playing well. Then I got injured the second season and played inefficiently. During my time with the Lone Ranger, I could have played better. But given the way I play, I don't think it will work in the long run. That didn't work as well as we wanted, but Luca is a superstar. He's a great player. He had to keep going, keep doing his thing.
5. The Pelican touches the Venbanyama
Windhorst, a prominent ESPN reporter, wrote in his column: The Pelicans sent people to France. They spent some time coming into contact with the people of Vembanyama. In fact, I don't know how often they go there, but they found it.
6. Bobo enjoys the game
The Spurs lost to the Warriors 113-144. Bobo said: "I enjoyed today's game, the record attendance is really cool. I feel that even though we were beaten today, the fans still enjoyed the game, and the sales of beer today must be high.
7 Doncic: I'm surprised I'm a scorer
Regarding the comparison between Alphabet Brother and Jokic between European basketball and the NBA, Doncic also agreed. Doncic said I was surprised that I was a scorer in the NBA, and I don't think I've ever been a good scorer. NBA players are more talented than European players, and they are 'basically not defensive'. If there is someone like Gobert in the box, he will have to score at least 10 more points in the NBA. Europa League is more about team basketball, more tactics, and you have very little time to play on your own.
8, American media Dipper and DiVincenzo data
The Warriors defeated the Spurs 144-113. Poole played 31 minutes, shooting 8-of-16 from the field, including 2-of-6 three-pointers and 7-of-8 free throws, for 25 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal. DiVincenzo had 22 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, hitting 4 three-pointers with just 1 turnover. It is worth mentioning that DiVincenzo played only 25 minutes today, with a plus/minus of +20, the highest in the game.
After the game, the American media posted the performance of the two and wrote: Give this new pair a name.
9. Jazz Supermarket opened
The Jazz are reportedly willing to trade anyone other than Markkanen and Kessler before the trade deadline this season. Markkanen helped the Jazz quietly enter the Western Conference playoff fight, and Kessler has been a defensive pillar for the Jazz this season.
10. Murray: The Eagles are a bit of a mess
Hawks player Deontay Murray spoke earlier about the current state of the team. I mean, there's a lot of stuff here that hasn't to do with basketball," he said. And at the basketball level, there are some guys who are caught up in the rumors. I wouldn't say it exceeded my expectations, but it was more than when I was at the San Antonio Spurs, where everything was less noisy. There's a lot going on here, but for me, I'm going to try to use my leadership skills to rally people, train hard, and speak up.
