On January 20th, Beijing time, the NBA 2024-25 season regular season staged a Western Conference focus match, with the Los Angeles Lakers challenging the Clippers. This is a city derby. This season marks the first meeting between the two teams, with the Lakers holding a slight advantage over the Clippers in their four encounters last season, winning three out of four games. Obviously, these two teams are always the focus of the event. Compared to the Clippers, the Lakers have a significant advantage in terms of lineup this season, but they have not been able to meet expectations, with extremely fluctuating form, often experiencing multiple consecutive losses after several victories, which is really regrettable. The key point is that this game is an important positioning battle. The Lakers currently have a total record of 22 wins and 17 losses, and have achieved 2 consecutive victories, ranking 6th in the West; while the Clippers have a total record of 23 wins and 17 losses, having won 3 consecutive victories, ranking 5th in the West. Obviously, neither team wants to lose in this game. Before the game, American media ESPN predicted the win rate for the day's game: the Lakers' win rate is only 36.0%, while the Clippers' win rate reached 64.0%. Obviously, the American media leans more towards the Clippers winning this derby. In terms of the starting lineup, on the Lakers' side, Wood, Vanderbilt, and Hood-Scheffino were unable to play, and James was likely to play. Redick's latest starting lineup is James, Davis, Hachimura, Christie, and Reeves; on the Clippers'…

According to Transfermarkt's official Twitter statistics, Kusaynov's transfer fee ranks second among Asian players, only behind Kim Min-jae who transferred from Napoli to Bayern Munich last season. Lorient signed Kusaynov for 450,000 euros in the summer of 2023, and after a year and a half, they sold him at nearly a hundred times the price, making a huge profit.

Recently, young power forward Zhang Mingchi, who was demoted by Guangdong Southern Tigers, has been recalled from the development league, but Du Feng still did not give him a chance to play. The club is currently considering trading Zhang Mingchi in exchange for players that the team needs more. If the candidate is satisfactory, Guangdong is even willing to add other players besides Zhang Mingchi. The 22-year-old Zhang Mingchi has played for Guangdong for four seasons, but he has only played 17 games this season. His father's recent post "forcing the club" also led to Zhang Mingchi being demoted to the CBDL development league for a period of time. It can be said that without the family's actions, he would have gradually become a marginal figure in the team. Such family interference is something every club dislikes. Additionally, Zhang Mingchi is still young and is under a Class B contract, making him an ideal player type for trade chips. It is expected that Guangdong will use Zhang Mingchi as one of the chips to exchange for a young and promising forward player. There are many candidates, such as Zou Yang from Fujian and Chen Guohao from Beikong. However, Zhang Mingchi alone is not enough. Guangdong currently has many young players at their disposal, so they can easily make a multiple-for-one trade. Zhang Mingchi's departure is only a matter of time. The second piece of good news comes from Liaoning Flying Leopards. Tomorrow night, Liaoning will face Guangsha, the league leader, away from home. This is indeed a tough challenge for…

Argentina's national football team achieved a historic victory at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, securing their third championship title. Lionel Messi, the team's star player, fulfilled his lifelong dream and completed his career grand slam. However, more than two years have passed since their triumph, and the fate of these champion players has taken various turns. Some are still in their prime, others are on the rise, some have left the competitive top European leagues, and there are those who have retired from international duty. After winning the World Cup, six Argentine internationals have departed from Europe's top five leagues, with two retiring from the national team, leaving them out of contention for the upcoming USA-Mexico-Canada tournament. On January 21st, Beijing time, new transfer market news emerged as River Plate, an Argentine football powerhouse, announced the return of Montiel to the club. According to journalist Uriel Lugt, Montiel's transfer fee was set at 4.5 million euros, with a contract that extends until 2028. This season, Montiel only made nine appearances for Sevilla, starting four times and scoring one goal. Despite being just 28 years old, he has already bid farewell to the top European leagues. When mentioning Montiel, many will recall his calm and decisive penalty kick in the World Cup final that helped Argentina lift the trophy. In this River Plate squad, there are two other Argentine World Cup champions who left Europe's top leagues last summer: the 33-year-old Pezzella and Acuña. Pezzella returned to South America after leaving Real Betis, while Acuña previously played for Sevilla. Argentina's…

The Tragic Tale of a World Cup Champion: Struggling to Make the Bench in Milan and Failing to Recommend Himself to Inter At the request of a friend, let's talk about Christian Zaccardo, the unfortunate World Cup champion. Christian Zaccardo was born on December 21, 1981, in Formigine, Italy. Although there are many football clubs in the area, they lack competitiveness, with neither the strength to stand in Serie A nor the conditions to cultivate elite youth training. Therefore, Zaccardo went to Bologna, 30 kilometers away, to start his youth training career. This player is not very talented. At least, among the geniuses gathered in Italian football, he is not enough to see. In terms of physical quality, he lacks speed and explosive power. In terms of ball feeling, he is also not outstanding. The youth training coach of Bologna tailored it, simply arranged Zaccardo in the position of the wingback, and let him serve as a crouching wingback. Talent is there, hoping that Zaccardo will be famous all over the world like Maldini when he is in his teens, which is impossible. After finishing his youth training career, he was first loaned to Spezia to practice in the Italian C League. Then return to Bologna and start from the substitute player. In the 2002-03 season, he determined his main position. In the summer of 2004, Zaccardo bid farewell to Bologna and transferred to Palermo, the promoted horse, serving as the main right-back. And the main left-back at Palermo at that time was Grosso. One of them squatted in the…

On January 22nd, Beijing time, in an NBA regular season game, the Philadelphia 76ers suffered their seventh consecutive loss at the hands of the Denver Nuggets. The 76ers were suppressed by the Nuggets from the start of the game, with the score difference widening to over 20 points by the end of the third quarter, and the fourth quarter quickly turned into garbage time. Without Embiid, they have lost 8 out of 9 games. Currently, the Philadelphia 76ers have five players on the injury list: Martin, Lowry, Embiid, Little Martin, and McCain. Embiid's injury report on January 17th showed that he needed another 7-10 days of rest, and his swollen knee would be re-examined after 7-10 days. Due to this away game, Embiid continued to miss playing against the Nuggets. His last appearance in Denver was back in 2019, nearly 2000 days without playing a game at the Nuggets' home court. The last time Embiid played here, Harden was still with the Rockets. However, in Embiid's last three games against the Nuggets, he averaged 40.7 points, 11.3 rebounds, and 6.3 assists. Philadelphia fans defended him, believing that it was unnecessary for Nuggets fans to mock Embiid. Despite this, Nuggets fans printed missing person flyers to mock the Emperor. Without Embiid, the 76ers were already trailing by 10 points at halftime. Jokic easily scored 18 points with 6 out of 9 shots, adding 5 assists, 3 rebounds, and 2 steals. It felt like Jokic hadn't even broken a sweat. Porter Jr. had 11 points, Braun had 12 points, and Strus had…
