In the Guangdong home court, amidst a chorus of boos and shouts of "black whistle," the referees inexplicably awarded Beikong four free throws in the final moments of the game, nearly helping their opponents defeat Guangdong. The most detestable incident occurred when Xu Xin made a shot, and Beikong men's basketball committed a foul. If the referees had made a fair call, the game should have ended much earlier. For three consecutive games, Guangdong men's basketball team has faced controversial refereeing decisions, feeling no sense of fairness in their home court. Even Chen Haitao, the owner of Guangdong, personally intervened during the intense match against Qingdao. However, this had no effect. The referees continued to act as they pleased, with Guangdong being clearly targeted. During the intense battle against Beikong, with only 10.2 seconds remaining, the referees made three consecutive incorrect calls that almost affected the outcome of the game. Xu Jie, with both teams tied at 97, took control of the ball and was pressing time to secure Guangdong's position with a three-pointer. Facing Chen Guohao's defense, Xu Jie missed the shot completely. Under the basket, Xu Xin and Shen Zijie were entangled, with Shen Zijie grabbing Xu Xin's arm. Then Shen Zijie fell, and Guangdong was called for a foul. This free throw was quite fatal; if Shen Zijie had made both shots, Guangdong's mentality would have been completely different. After Shen Zijie missed both free throws, Zhang Fan entered the line early to grab the rebound, which was a clear violation. The referees probably thought two free…

The Mascot Star Challenge is currently underway, and for this event, the Chinese table tennis team has sent many outstanding young players to compete. Among these young athletes, 18-year-old Zong Ge Man has garnered significant attention as she is considered a potential successor to Sun Yingsha. There were high hopes that she would perform well in this competition, but unfortunately, she has disappointed everyone. In the first round of the qualifying matches, Zong Ge Man lost 1-3 to Ye Yitan from Chinese Taipei (who had previously caused an upset by defeating South Korean veteran Zhu Qianxi at the Doha station). Although Zong Ge Man subsequently won 3-0 against Kukulova from Slovakia, her final record of one win and one loss left her trailing behind Ye Yitan (who won both of her matches), thus eliminating her from contention for a spot in the main draw. This unexpected early exit has led to netizens commenting that Zong Ge Man has no value for further development. It is surprising that this 18-year-old, touted as Sun Yingsha's successor, was eliminated in the qualifying rounds, causing a major upset. Some netizens have expressed that Zong Ge Man is not worth cultivating, as the Chinese table tennis team has given her numerous opportunities recently, yet she has failed to deliver. If she cannot perform well at this age within the Chinese team, it may be time to give up on her. The primary task for the Chinese table tennis team in the new Olympic cycle is to cultivate young players. There is hope that these young…

In 2019, Shim Suk-hee, known as the "Queen of Short Track Speed Skating" in South Korea, took her former coach to court. Shim accused the coach of repeatedly sexually assaulting her, and it began when she was still in high school, leading to a four-year-long abuse. Even on the eve of competitions, he did not let her go. After the incident came to light, it sparked heated discussions among netizens. No one expected that Shim, one of South Korea's most famous athletes who had won multiple world championships for her country, would suffer such injustice behind the scenes. Who exactly is this beastly coach, and what was the outcome of the situation? After the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, where Shim Suk-hee won the gold medal in the women's relay event, she filed a lawsuit against her coach, Cho Jae-beom. The reason was that Shim had endured seven years of unwarranted beatings from coach Cho Jae-beom, including four years of sexual assault. This news immediately caused a stir among netizens, as it was this coach who had been with Shim since elementary school until she became famous and won championships. Shim started skating when other children were just learning to walk, and she could already glide smoothly on the ski slopes. Her parents also discovered her potential and began to fully cultivate her as a short track speed skater. In 2012, at the age of only 15, Shim made her international debut and won two gold medals in the 500m and 1000m events. That same year, at the World Junior Championships,…

In the past two days, the hottest news in the sports circle has been the announcement that Wang Chuqin, ranked first in the world, has been admitted to Beijing's Xian Nong Tan Sports School with a comprehensive score of 85.4 points, presenting an impressive report card. This 24-year-old world table tennis champion has shown us through his actions that his future planning is not limited to playing on the court. Speaking of this sports school system, I must elaborate on it. In the professional planning of athletes, obtaining a sports school system is like taking out a life insurance policy for oneself. We always thought that after retiring, athletes would either become coaches or enter sports schools, but Wang Chuqin made a particularly wise move. He didn't wait until he retired to consider these matters; instead, he laid the groundwork for his future life while his career was at its peak. Wang Chuqin's series of moves have indeed impressed everyone. First, he achieved the world's number one ranking on the court, then won double gold at the Paris Olympics, and now he has been admitted to the sports school system. It's not just about playing table tennis; it's like playing a big game of life! Recently, his decision to withdraw from the French Montpellier Championship also seems to be a very pragmatic choice. His schedule this year is particularly tight, from the Macau Championship to the Grand Slam, and then to the Asian Championships, it's like fighting a war. Athletes also need rest; overexertion is not beneficial to anyone. Moreover,…

Recently, while the national football team was training at the Hainan Guanlan Lake Football Training Base in Haikou, the Shanghai Shenhua Club was conducting group confrontation training on the No. 3 field separated by a net. The newly joined 19-year-old young player Wang Hanlong, as a forward, stood out with his performance and scored goals repeatedly. He has actually attracted the attention of many industry insiders, including members of the national football team. Last week, when the Shanghai Shenhua Club officially announced Wang Hanlong's joining, some domestic media defined this mixed-race player as a "Chinese descendant young player," and more Chinese fans called him the "mixed-race ball king." This is because Wang Hanlong had lived in Slovenia with his family for many years before. During this period, he was selected into the Slovenian national-level echelon of the 2006 age group many times and played for the Slovenian U17 team. As a result, in the past week, many Chinese fans have begun to discuss that the Chinese Football Association should start the naturalization procedures for Wang Hanlong. However, according to the report of the Beijing Youth Daily, the official media of the national football team on January 13th, Beijing time, Wang Hanlong actively chose Chinese nationality when he turned 18, which means he does not need to be naturalized and can normally represent the Chinese national team in official matches. Therefore, if Wang Hanlong's ability is strong enough, he can also become an object of investigation for the U20 national football team of the 2005 age group, and even represent the…

Today, let's rank the best lineup from "Captain Tsubasa" in the Asian region. Goalkeeper: Genzo Wakabayashi (Japan) Genzo Wakabayashi is not only the strongest goalkeeper in Asia but also one of the best in the world. He possesses exceptional goalkeeping skills, excellent physical fitness, and even remarkable leadership abilities. When healthy, he is almost invincible. During his time with Hamburg, he was able to withstand the relentless attacks from Schneider, Shao Jun Guang, and Levin, known as the "Bayern Munich Trio." Perhaps the only thing that could hinder him is injury. Defenders: Right Back - Kojiro Hyuga (Japan): A versatile player and the defensive leader of the Japanese team. He first appeared in the elementary school chapter with the evaluation of "talent surpassing Tsubasa," then switched to playing as a defender during the World Youth Championship stage, and became a midfielder during the Olympic team period. He performed outstandingly against the Netherlands in the Olympics, once again earning the name "genius." Center Back - Mark Lenders (Saudi Arabia): He is regarded as a free man surpassing Kojiro Hyuga and is one of the few defenders with significant character development in the series. He has been selected for the starting lineup of the World All-Star Football Team. Center Back - Yoichi Takahashi (Japan): The biggest controversy for this position is between Thailand's Banpakok and China's Wu Junren. Banpakok caused Japan a lot of trouble in the qualifiers, but he faced a weakened Japanese team at the time. After Kojiro Hyuga came on the field, Banpakok had no power to fight back,…
