This season, the Guangdong team has been struggling with a record of only 17 wins and 11 losses, ranking ninth in the league, making it unlikely for them to reach the top four this season. There are many reasons for this, including the departure of Zhou Qi, the injury and three-month absence of Hu Mingxuan, and frequent mistakes in the selection of small foreign players. Currently, apart from Xu Jie, there are hardly any available players in Guangdong's backcourt. Although General Manager Zhu Fangyu has repeatedly stated that they are actively looking for a small foreign player, there has been no news, which is really worrying for fans about Xu Jie's physical condition and competitive state. Recently, it was reported that the Guangdong team is interested in Jiangsu's guard Cui Xiaolong and has offered a three-for-one trade. If both sides agree, Cui Xiaolong could represent the Guangdong team as early as the third stage of the regular season or even earlier in the CBA games. It is reported that the Guangdong team and General Manager Zhu Fangyu have offered Peng Shijun + Zhang Mingchi + some cash, but Jiangsu team has not yet given a positive response. Cui Xiaolong was born in February 1999, standing at 1.94 meters tall and weighing 85 kilograms. He plays as a shooting guard or small forward on the court. Cui Xiaolong started his career with the NBL Henan She Store Liquor team and was selected by the Jiangsu team in the first round, fourth overall, in the 2021 CBA draft. In the 2021-22 season,…

Ito Mima, a name familiar to table tennis enthusiasts, is one of the few Japanese players to have won an Olympic gold medal in table tennis. Although it was only a mixed doubles gold medal, it was the first in the history of the Olympics, making it significant. It is well-known that this gold medal has made the task of Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin in the mixed doubles event during the Paris Olympic cycle even more important, highlighting the value of this gold medal. At the Tokyo Olympics, Ito Mima won a gold medal in the mixed doubles event but was consecutively defeated by "Little Demon King" Sun Yingsha in the women's singles and team events, causing her tournament points to drop rapidly and her world ranking to reach a historic low. Ultimately, she did not make it into Japan's national table tennis team for the Paris Olympics. Despite the Japanese national table tennis team considering giving her a P card, she refused to wait for an opportunity as a sparring partner, a move that also showed her aspirations and pursuits, after all, she is someone who has won a gold medal. After the Paris Olympics, due to the early elimination of the mixed doubles pair of Tomokazu Harimoto and Hina Hayata, the Japanese national table tennis team began planning new mixed doubles combinations, believing that mixed doubles is their most likely project to challenge for gold. They had considered bringing Ito Mima back to mixed doubles, but she ultimately declined the invitation. Why did she decline? In my…

In the recently concluded U16 National Three-Ball Championship, two teams were severely penalized for violating the spirit of sportsmanship: Zhejiang team was accused of passive play, while Jilin team had their results annulled due to age fraud. The Chinese Basketball Association announced strict penalties against the involved coaches, including a three-year ban. This incident is like a slap in the face for everyone concerned about youth sports - shouldn't competitive games embody fairness and the spirit of striving? Why has it become a stage for cheating and passivity? This is not just a "crash" during an event; it's more like a mirror reflecting deep-seated issues in the field of youth sports: excessive focus on results, management loopholes, the "failure" of coaches' roles, and the repeated challenges to the fairness of competitions. What appears to be a youth championship actually involves many thought-provoking aspects. The incident itself is not complicated: Zhejiang team, dissatisfied with the tournament arrangements, deliberately underperformed in a crucial match, causing an uproar with players "treading water" on the court. On the other side, Jilin team was reported for age fraud, fielding players who exceeded the actual age limit. After investigation, the Basketball Association imposed severe sanctions on both teams, canceling their results and heavily punishing the involved coaches. Although these two issues seem unrelated, they share a commonality - both lost their way in the pursuit of "results." Zhejiang team's passive play was a response to dissatisfaction with the schedule and refereeing decisions, attempting to express protest through this extreme method. Jilin team's fraud was to compete…

In the world of competitive sports, intense rivalries are commonplace. However, a recent match between the Liaoning and Shandong women's volleyball teams has raised eyebrows due to the heated exchanges that occurred on the court, involving players Ding Xia and Yang Hanyu, as well as referee interventions. The situation escalated when Du Qingqing received a yellow card for an expletive, and Yang Hanyu later took to social media to vent her frustrations. What exactly transpired during the match, and what does this conflict reveal about underlying issues within the sport? The incident began with a disputed play where Liaoning challenged Shandong for a net touch. Ding Xia approached the referee aggressively, insisting that Yang Hanyu had touched the net and should be given a yellow card. Yang Hanyu, feeling wronged, engaged in a heated argument with Ding Xia on the court, with both sides growing increasingly agitated. The tension did not end there. During a defensive error, Shandong's main attacker Du Qingqing uttered an expletive, which was overheard by Ding Xia. Ding immediately reported the comment to the referee as an "insulting remark," resulting in Du Qingqing receiving a yellow card. This decision further inflamed tensions within the Shandong team and served as a catalyst for the escalating conflict between Yang Hanyu and Ding Xia. This seemingly straightforward on-court dispute prompts deeper reflection: is this merely a common sports controversy, or does it point to more profound problems? The intensity from the court spilled over into social media after the match. Yang Hanyu, the deputy attacker from Shandong, posted a…

For the national football team, every head coach is a matter of great attention. Whenever a new head coach takes office, fans across the country will pin high hopes on him, hoping that under the leadership of the new coach, they can change the depressed state of Chinese football and revitalize the development of football. During the period from 2000 to 2002, world-class coach Milu served as the head coach of the Chinese men's national team. Despite having such a coach with a glorious record, good results were not achieved, and Milu had no choice but to step down. According to media reports, opinions on Milu at the time were mixed, and the only fair evaluation of Milu heard was from Xie Hui. Even during his playing days, Milu had outstanding performances. During his career, Milu reached the pinnacle of his career while playing for Club America in Mexico. At that time, he was undoubtedly the main player of the club. Through working together with his teammates, Milu led the team to win the Mexican national championship trophy. Soon after, Milu won the championship again in the Central American National Club Tournament. Later, Milu encountered a low point in his career. Years of injuries and declining physical fitness made him no longer adapt to the harshness of the court. Out of necessity, Milu made the decision to retire. However, Milu was still unwilling to give up football, a project he loved so much, and he simply decided to transition to becoming a coach. The process from athlete to coach is…

In this article, we discuss the recent performance of Chinese women's basketball player Li Yueyu in the Turkish Women's Basketball League (TBL). Li Yueyu, known as a pillar and dominant force in the paint for the Chinese national team, faced a challenging match where her team, Galatasaray, narrowly lost to Fenerbahce in a top-of-the-table clash. Despite starting the game and playing for 25 minutes, scoring 8 points, grabbing 8 rebounds, and contributing with 3 assists and 3 blocks, her performance did not meet expectations given the high stakes of the game. During the match, Li Yueyu often moved up to set screens for her teammates, resulting in few successful possessions after the pick-and-roll. Her offensive efficiency was low, and she missed several close-range shots, leaving fans puzzled as to why she wasn't capitalizing on her strengths under the basket. Even though she played with a knee injury from a previous game against Ormanspor, the impact was minimal, and the European professional system typically doesn't allow severely injured players to play for extended periods. A critical moment came in the fourth quarter when the coach substituted Li Yueyu out, only to bring her back in the last 7 seconds to contest a free-throw rebound. This decision left fans questioning the coach's strategy, especially during a time when the team needed their star player's contribution. The root of the problem lies with Li Yueyu herself. Upon receiving the ball, her reaction suggested that she didn't fully embrace her role as a key player, often moving up to set screens instead of utilizing…

On January 9th, Beijing time, when Shandong media reported that Chengdu Rongcheng's tall striker Tang Chuang was about to join Shandong Taishan, Chengdu Rongcheng's move to send their players to their old opponents Shandong Taishan, who defeated them three times last season, also won the respect of Shandong fans. Previously, whenever a CSL team defeated an opponent twice in a season, it would basically turn the fans of both teams into enemies. Shandong Taishan defeated Chengdu Rongcheng three times, but Chengdu Rongcheng not only did not distance themselves from Shandong Taishan, but also exchanged players with each other. Such actions also earned praise from Shandong fans for Chengdu Rongcheng's big picture. The heated exchanges between Shandong Taishan and Chengdu Rongcheng during this transfer period surprised both sets of fans. Shandong Taishan player Liao LiSheng joined Chengdu Rongcheng, while Chengdu Rongcheng player Tang Chuang is set to join Shandong Taishan. The transfers between the two sides not only strengthened both teams' capabilities but also hinted that they may have set their sights on the same team in the new season. After all, that team has only focused on domestic competitions in recent years, leaving Chengdu Rongcheng and Shandong Taishan to only compete with each other through mutual exchanges to gain the strength to compete with that team. After the two clubs did not become estranged due to victories and defeats on the field, the feelings between the fans were also unaffected. Chengdu Rongcheng fans' actions of holding up banners at Shandong Taishan's home ground in the 23rd season, seemingly mocking a…

On January 9th, Beijing time, in the decisive round of the Australian Open qualifying tournament, Weisijia faced off against Stojanovic. Ultimately, after losing the first set, Weisijia won two sets in a row and clinched victory with an 11-9 score in the decisive set's race to 10, achieving a 2-1 reversal and advancing to the main draw. This will be her first Grand Slam main draw appearance in her career, making history and marking a new beginning—truly remarkable! Weisijia is a post-00s player from China, currently ranked 119th in the world, which is relatively low. Prior to the Canberra station competition, she reached the final but unfortunately finished as the runner-up. At the Australian Open, due to her ranking, Weisijia had to start from the qualifying rounds. In the first two rounds, she consecutively defeated Sasnovich and Kopac, advancing to the third round, which was also the decisive round. Stojanovic, ranked 237th in the world, is not particularly strong, and this was their first career meeting. Weisijia still had a good chance of advancing to the main draw. In the first set, Stojanovic broke serve immediately, but Weisijia was not to be outdone, breaking back in the fourth game to level at 2-2. In the ninth game, Stojanovic broke serve again, and in the tenth game, Stojanovic capitalized on her serve to win the set 6-4, leading Weisijia 1-0 in the match. In the second set, Weisijia broke serve first in the eighth game, leading 5-3! In the ninth game, Stojanovic broke back to close the gap to 4-5, and…

Currently, the first stage of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Super League playoffs has just passed the halfway point, with each team having played against each other once. The second round of matches will follow, with Group C ranked as follows: Jiangsu with 3 wins and 8 points, Shanghai with 2 wins and 7 points, Fujian with 1 win and 3 points, and Shenzhen with 0 wins and 0 points. Group D is ranked as follows: Tianjin with 3 wins and 9 points, Liaoning with 2 wins and 6 points, Shandong with 1 win and 2 points, and Beijing with 0 wins and 1 point. According to the format, the top two teams from Groups C and D will advance to the top four, then play crossover matches until a champion is decided. Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team has a clear advantage; if they secure all 3 points in their next away match against Liaoning, they can advance to the top four two rounds in advance. More importantly, Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team finishes matches within four sets, making them relatively relaxed. It's just about the final ranking; the first-ranked team plays the second from the other group, and the second-ranked team plays the first from the other group. If Yao Di hadn't returned and Wang Baoquan hadn't been replaced by Chen Fang, everything would be uncertain. Besides Tianjin, Liaoning must win against Shandong; if they lose, their spot in the top four may not be guaranteed. However, as two teams mainly featuring vice attackers, Liaoning seems to have an edge over Shandong.…

Focus on tennis events and major competitions. The 2025 Australian Open qualifying rounds have entered the decisive stage of competition. A key match took place between Chinese player Wei Sijia, ranked 119th in the world, and Serbian player Stojanovic, ranked 237th in the world. The winner between the two will receive a ticket to the main draw of the Australian Open women's singles.

Currently ranked 119th in the world, Wei Sijia has become the only surviving seed among the Australian Open qualifiers. In the previous two rounds, Wei Sijia performed outstandingly, first defeating Belarusian star Sasnovich (NO.141) in the first round, and then eliminating German Kopac (NO.174) in the second round, thus advancing to the decisive round for the second consecutive year. Facing Wei Sijia across the net is Stojanovic, ranked 237th in the world. Judging from the rankings, Wei Sijia is much higher than the opponent, but it is difficult to determine the gap between ranking and true strength among players outside the top 100. Judging from the process of this game, Wei Sijia played extremely hard. This was their first encounter. Wei Sijia served first in the first set. As soon as the game started, Wei Sijia gave up the opportunity in the serve, although she resolved the first crisis, she was still broken by the opponent using the second break point, Stojanovic easily held his first serve, and won the first two games…
