The NBA regular season will have two focus battles today, one is the Warriors vs. Thunder, and the other is the Lakers vs. Spurs. The Warriors have now won 3 consecutive games to rank first in the West, while the Thunder have eaten 3 consecutive losses to rank at the bottom of the West, which is a battle at the top and bottom of the Western Conference, and it seems that there is basically no suspense between victory and defeat. The Lakers against the Spurs have a lot to watch, first of all, James may not play because of an ankle injury, and the second is whether Westbrook's playing style will be targeted miserably when he encounters Popovich? Anyway, the Lakers and Spurs are hoping to win their opponents and usher in their second win of the season, and the game should be very intense. In addition to the competition, there is some news worth paying attention to today: official announcement! The 2 signings were officially reached, yang Yi of the United States spoke out, the Warriors welcomed the good news, and the Nets were hit.
Let's take a look at some of the team signings. Today, 2 more players found jobs and they officially signed. The first to sign was former Lakers player Cook. Today, Russian league team Lokomotiv Kuban officially announced on Twitter that two-time NBA championship team member Quinn Cook signed a contract with the team. In the NBA, Cook averaged 6.7 points per 14 minutes per game, his shots were accurate, and when he went to overseas leagues, it was foreseeable that Cook would perform very well. The second to sign is Mulder. Magic officials announced today that they have signed a contract with free agent Mulder. Mulder played for the Warriors last season, averaging 5.6 points per game in 12 minutes, which is also quite good.
Let's take a look at the Lakers news. The Lakers had some infighting when they faced the Suns in the second game of the season, and although Howard and Thick Brow later reconciled, there will certainly be some estrangement between the two sides. Today, The American Yang Yi A-Smith spoke out, he said: "I like Howard very much, but I still strongly recommend howard not to mess with Davis. After all, Howard now has a $2 million veteran base salary, he was still doubtful whether he could find a job in the NBA, Davis is a top-paid player, hope Howard does not mess up. "The American Yang Yi sometimes says things that are ugly, but there is still a certain truth, in this place in the NBA, the small role of the team to provoke the team boss, generally there is really no good fruit to eat, and his suggestion to Howard is still very pertinent.
Let's take a look at the Warriors news. The Warriors played the underdog Thunder today, and they are expected to win four consecutive games to continue to lead the West. In addition to the good news in terms of results, their core curry has other good news. Curry has already won the Western Conference Weekly Best in the first week of the new season, and he has even more good news. According to the latest MVP odds, Curry pressed the alphabet brother to rank first. The specific MVP odds list is as follows: Curry first, Alphabet Brother second, Doncic third, Durant fourth, Embiid fifth, James sixth, Jokic seventh, Harden eighth, Mitchell ninth, Lillard tenth.
Finally, let's take a look at the Nets news. The Nets currently suffer a double whammy, with the first blow coming from Harden. The league changed the rules in the summer to target foul-making blows, which made Harden play very badly. Since the beginning of the game, Harden has been unable to improve in scoring, averaging less than 20 points per game, and after being targeted by the referee, his number of free throws has also fallen to the 33rd place in the league, which is the main reason for the Nets' poor record. The second blow came from Irving. Nets fans are hoping that Irving will be vaccinated as soon as possible, but at present, this is becoming less and less likely. Irving's behavior is gaining more and more support in the United States, and today the boxing champion Mayweather also issued a public statement expressing support for Irving and being proud of Irving. At this point, Irving is also difficult to ride the tiger, and it is probably more difficult for him to return to the team.
So do you think Curry can win the MVP this season? Can Harden crack the referee's target and return to that era when scoring like a probe? Let's wait and see!
