On January 18, 2025, Beijing time, with the elimination of Luca Brecel by Kyren Wilson with a score of 6-4, the semi-finalists of the Snooker Masters were all determined. Ding Junhui lost five consecutive frames after leading 3-1 and was defeated by Judd Trump with a score of 3-6. The victorious Trump will face the newly crowned world champion Kyren Wilson in the semi-finals. The other semi-final will be between Shaun Murphy and Mark Allen. The third quarter-final match was between Ding Junhui and the world number one, Judd Trump. Ding Junhui started off in hot form, scoring 70, 74, and 72 points in singles, leading 3-1 at the half-time break. After that, Trump began to exert himself, continuously scoring 97, 53, 125, 62, and 75 points in singles. He displayed his fiery offensive touch, sealing Ding Junhui in the seventh, eighth, and ninth frames. Trump won five frames in a row, directly reversing Ding Junhui with a 6-3 score to advance to the semi-finals. In fact, Ding Junhui played well in this game, except for a low-level mistake in the rack, he performed normally for the rest of the time. However, the recovered Trump is indeed too terrifying. His ability to score continuously is indeed very strong. Once he succeeds in long-range attacking, it becomes difficult for Ding Junhui to get on the field. Although Ding Junhui failed to reach the semi-finals of this Masters, his state is quite good, and the upcoming matches are still worth looking forward to, especially the World Championship. Trump advanced strongly to the…

In September 2024, an official announcement from the Chinese Football Association (CFA) shed some light on the anti-corruption efforts in Chinese football, particularly on the "Hao Wei Line." The notice explicitly stated that Guo Tianyu had sought improper benefits, engaged in improper transactions, manipulated football matches, and obtained illegal gains. Consequently, he was handed a lifetime ban from participating in any football-related activities. However, this punishment was predicated on Guo still being a Chinese football player. What was peculiar was that after Shandong removed him from their roster in August, Chiangrai United of the Thai League (T1) announced on August 8 that Guo had joined the team as a free agent. After joining Chiangrai United, Guo Tianyu made consecutive appearances for the team and even secured a starting position at one point. However, his performance significantly declined, with ten games yielding no goals or assists. On August 25, during the third round of the T1 League, Guo made his debut. On October 4, Chiangrai United hosted Nan Bunnok Warriors, with Guo starting for the team. It is worth noting that the CFA had already issued its ban on Guo at this time. The awkward part was that Guo completely disregarded the ban; since he was in Thailand, the CFA could not enforce it, and FIFA essentially turned a blind eye, making the ban seem like a joke. On January 15, 2025, in the 17th round of the T1 League, Chiangrai United lost away to Buriram United, with Guo coming off the bench. This marked his return to the field after…

Neymar, as a top star in the world of football, has always been loved by fans. However, Neymar does have a significant issue: his professional attitude and spirit do not meet the standards of a top superstar. During this season with Al-Nassr, Neymar's performance was subpar. After returning from injury this season, he only played three games before getting injured again, which forced him to rest. During his recovery period, Neymar did not properly prepare or participate in matches; instead, he traveled around. This behavior has completely disappointed Al-Nassr, and this time, Jorge Jesus, the head coach of Al-Nassr, also discussed Neymar's issues during a post-match press conference. Coach Jorge Jesus of Al-Nassr stated, "We will not register Neymar for the second half of the season. We know that he cannot reach his previous level, and it is very difficult for him to change. We will not give him opportunities, but although he cannot participate in the league, he still has a chance to play in the AFC Champions League." From this statement, it is clear that Coach Jorge Jesus of Al-Nassr is quite disdainful of Neymar. He even publicly stated that Neymar cannot return to his former level. This statement also proves that Al-Nassr will not give Neymar the opportunity to play. Neymar's contract will expire, and he will leave. Now, Al-Nassr probably regrets not signing Cristiano Ronaldo back then, as Ronaldo's professionalism and attitude are far superior to Neymar's.

Translation of the article content into English: On January 17th, Beijing time, the 32nd round of the CBA regular season began with strong matchups, providing plenty of excitement for fans. The intensity on the court increased, with scores tightly contested until the final moments when the outcomes were decided. The games were incredibly thrilling, delighting the spectators. Let's review two standout matches! Shanxi's Big Win Over Shanghai: In the first quarter, Shanxi took the lead, while Shanghai's Lofton played confidently on offense. After a rest, he returned to the court and scored in his first three attempts. Shanxi quickly adjusted their defense, double-teaming Lofton, leading to more turnovers. While Bledsoe rested, Wilson struggled during his five-minute stint, missing shots and changing his mentality. The first quarter ended with Shanxi leading 22-20 over Shanghai. In the second quarter, Shanghai experienced a scoring drought, allowing Shanxi to go on a 12-3 run. Coach Liu Wei called a timeout, after which Shanghai scored five quick points. It was then Shanxi's turn to call a timeout as Shanghai closed the gap to one point with Bledsoe's two three-pointers. Shanxi responded by bringing in Goodwin to push the pace and create fast-break opportunities. Liu Zheng assisted Wang Zhelin for a layup, but Wang missed an easy basket, acknowledging his mistake to his teammates. Li Tianrong missed a three-pointer, while Bledsoe grabbed an offensive rebound and made a layup, drawing a foul and converting both free throws. Wilson missed an open three-pointer, but Diarra scored with a mid-range shot. Bledsoe hit another three-pointer, leaving Shanghai trailing…

In today's NBA league, several young teams with great talent and immediate combat effectiveness have emerged, among which the Thunder is undoubtedly the most outstanding. Under the leadership of their core player Alexander, the Thunder finished the first 40 regular season games with a record of 34 wins and 6 losses, surpassing many strong teams in the West to rank first in the standings. On this game day, the Thunder traveled to Dallas to challenge the Mavericks. After the game started, Irving led the Mavericks to quickly establish a 20-point lead. However, the Thunder, who were missing key players, launched a fierce counterattack. Unfortunately, without the top-notch decisive ability of Alexander, the Western Conference leader suffered a 106-98 defeat on the road, ending their four-game winning streak! [Game Highlights] The Thunder played back-to-back games in this match. In the previous game day, they defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers at home by a huge margin of 20 points, winning the battle between the top teams in the East and West, and also ending the Cavaliers' undefeated record against Western Conference teams since the start of the season, defending the glory of the entire Western Conference. However, Alexander, who performed well in the previous game, missed this game due to injury, coupled with the impact of playing back-to-back games on physical fitness, making it unlikely for the Thunder to win on the road. The Mavericks, who lost to the Thunder in their last direct encounter in Oklahoma City, saw the opportunity to seek revenge at home. [Game Review] After the game started, the…

At 6:50 am Beijing time on January 18th, the last quarterfinal match of the 2025 Snooker Masters was concluded. Among the top eight players, only two were born in the 90s, and the competition between the champions of the last two World Championships has been decided. The 33-year-old new World Champion, Kyren Wilson, known as "The Jester," defeated the 29-year-old reigning World Champion, Luca Brecel, with a score of 6-4. The four semi-finalists have now been determined, and the semi-final matchups have been announced. Among the four semi-finalists, three are from the 80s, one is from the 90s, three hold world championship titles, all being single-crown kings; three are former Masters champions, with Judd Trump being the most outstanding among them, having won twice in 2019 and 2023. Ding Junhui, the 2011 Masters champion, was eliminated after being reversed by Trump with five consecutive victories during the day session. Xiao Bu, who had never reached the Masters final, also failed to achieve a breakthrough. On this match day, only Trump managed to score a century break, bringing his career total to 1029 century breaks, quietly closing the gap with the legendary Ronnie O'Sullivan. In the six days since the start of this Masters tournament, a total of 14 century breaks have been made. Zhang Anda's 141 points currently lead the highest single-frame score of the tournament, with a chance to win the £15,000 prize for the highest single-frame score.

In recent years, fan culture has spread vigorously in society, but are you aware that this force is quietly eroding the sports world, especially top-level sports projects like the national table tennis team? The fervent adoration of star fans seems to be a boost to the sports industry, yet its negative impacts compel us to reflect: Is this "love" more about support or causing trouble? When it comes to the national table tennis team, what comes to mind is their illustrious record: countless gold medals, formidable strength, and the solid foundation of the "Table Tennis Kingdom." Fan Zhendong, as the leader of the national table tennis team, has repeatedly secured the world's number one ranking with his outstanding performance on the court. However, despite his numerous glories, he cannot escape the troubles brought by "fan culture." The fervent pursuit of fans not only brings glory under the spotlight but also causes more disturbances and pressure in daily life. Extreme fans' excessive interference even affects Fan Zhendong's daily life and competitive state. This issue not only troubles Fan Zhendong himself but has also drawn the attention of the General Administration of Sport, becoming a reality that the entire sports industry must confront. The greatest harm of fan culture may be blind worship and emotional失控. Competitive sports, which should be based on strength, are influenced by this excessive emotionalization. Fans are no longer satisfied with supporting their idols on the field; they turn their attention to beyond the field, frequently interfering with athletes' private spaces and even directly impacting their lives and…

On January 17th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continues. As the schedule progresses in depth, many teams in the league have also experienced varying degrees of injuries. In order to better fill the lineup gaps, teams led by the Suns have begun to make moves to strengthen their squads, hoping to transform their teams into an ideal state before the trade deadline. It is worth noting that after the Suns officially announced a 4-for-2 trade to acquire Richards, the Los Angeles Lakers have also completed their own recruitment operations. They temporarily gave up on Valanciunas, abandoned the Jazz's young interior player, officially waived two-way player Olivari, and signed with free agent Jamison. Here, some fans may be unfamiliar with the name Jamison. Is it really worth giving up Olivari, who averages 17 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, and a three-point shooting rate of 40% in the Development League, for such an unknown player? The answer is obviously yes. As a 2023 NBA draft pick, the 25-year-old Jamison stands at 2.11 meters tall and weighs 117 kilograms. Since his debut, he has played for the Wizards, Pelicans, and Grizzlies. This season, he represented the Pelicans in 16 regular-season games, averaging 10 minutes per game and scoring 2 points and 2 rebounds. Although his statistics are average, Jamison's potential is still worth exploring. It should be noted that in last season's game against the Wizards, representing the Grizzlies, he once scored 24 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 blocks in a single game with 13 out of 11 shots. In terms of…

This morning, the sixth day of the snooker Masters ended, and when we woke up, the Chinese team was in ruins, with no one left. Ding Junhui wasted a great advantage of leading 3-1 in the quarterfinals, being swept away by Trump in a wave, losing 3-6 and being reversed, missing out on the semi-finals. The top four have emerged, with the five tigers of the post-80s becoming two tigers, and the two matchups have been revealed. Ding Junhui faced Trump twice last year, suffering a crushing defeat of 4-10 in the final of the World Open and failing in the first round of the Championship League. In the new year, he fought against the world No. 1 again, adding new wounds to old ones. In the first four rounds, both sides combined to make four shots over 70, with Ding Junhui leading 3-1, but then suddenly lost his chain in the second half, scoring only 39 points in five rounds and being shut out three times! Trump made a century break and four shots over 50, making a strong comeback at 6-3 and advancing to the top four. Thus, the five tigers of the post-80s became two tigers, with Robertson, Selby, and Ding Junhui all eliminated. Murphy will face Mark Allen in the semi-finals. Trump is fully committed to reaching the sixth final of the season, aiming for his third Masters title. The battle between the post-90s players, Kyren Wilson and Luca Brecel, was spectacular, with the two completing a total of eight single-shot victories. Wilson was slightly superior,…
