The Team That Dislikes Shooting Three-pointers the Most The Wuhan Shengfan Yellow Crane team averages only 17.5 three-point attempts per game, ranking last in the league. This is largely due to their foreign player, Kennedy Carter, who is a prolific scorer with an average of 31.1 points per game, leading the league. However, her style is more about attacking the basket with speed and agility rather than shooting from outside. Wuhan's local players, such as Ding Yike and Sun Yu, do have the ability to shoot threes, but they don't rely on long-range shots this season. They focus more on finding the closest attacking point to the basket through running and passing, which is more efficient. Despite not favoring long-range shots, Wuhan's offensive power is not weak. They currently top Group B, securing a good position for the playoffs. The Team with the Smoothest Tactics Sichuan Shudao YuanDa has impressed the entire league with their offensive play. Upon closer observation, it becomes clear that they don't solely rely on star players for individual attacks. Instead, they emphasize tactical cooperation, combining inside and outside play with high rates of pick-and-roll execution. Wang Suyu is a guard adept at controlling the pace, while Li Meng's passes are timely and accurate, resulting in smooth rotations without any stagnation. Watching Sichuan play is not just about watching stars perform; their small combinations are truly delightful. The pick-and-roll plays between Wang Suyu and Tang Ziting, Han Xu and Li Meng, are like magic, spontaneous and skillful, worthy of emulation. So far, Sichuan averages 25.5 assists…

Recently, behind the increasingly fierce competition for the women's team Olympic selection spots, there has also been a distribution of internal interests. With Li Sun personally intervening to change the Olympic selection rules and rejecting Wang Yidi, the internal contradictions of the national women's table tennis team seem to have surfaced. In the eyes of fans, Li Sun's official announcement that Wang Yidi was not selected is most embarrassing for Ma Lin. In the view of the outside world, the internal contradictions of the national women's table tennis team have reached a point where head coach Li Sun must speak out. During the Paris Olympic cycle, Ma Lin's selection decisions have sparked extensive discussions and controversies, especially regarding the huge controversy over "who to use between Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi," which has also led to dissatisfaction among fans and netizens. As we all know, Ma Lin attached great importance to Wang Yidi during the Paris Olympic cycle and sent her to participate in major events many times. However, Wang Yidi's record was losing seven external matches, including losing to 61-year-old Ni Xiaolian, as well as five losses to Japanese table tennis players. On the contrary, Wang Manyu has never lost to Japanese female table tennis players and remains undefeated to this day. It can be said that Japanese female table tennis players are intimidated by Wang Manyu. So why did Ma Lin insist on not sending Wang Manyu to compete against Japan in the final of the Busan team event? The head coach of the national table tennis team,…

The Australian Open tennis tournament is currently underway, and fans are closely following the performance of China's top female tennis players. Among them, 35-year-old Grand Slam doubles champion Zhang Shuai is receiving significant attention. Zhang has won two Grand Slam doubles titles in her career, demonstrating her considerable talent.

For Zhang, it is an impressive feat to sweep past the fifth seed and reach the quarterfinals. Now, an Asian women's tennis legend has emerged, and that is Zhang Shuai.

The Chinese national badminton team (国羽) provided opportunities for newcomers to participate in competitions, but many failed to advance past the first round at the Indonesia Masters tournament. This raises the question of who is to blame when they cannot deliver. After the 2025 selection trials, several post-00s newcomers joined the national team and received more chances to compete. However, from the first day of the Indonesia Masters, it became evident that some of these newcomers were not performing well and were eliminated in the first round. For instance, Wang Zhengxing, a men's singles player, despite not being considered a true newcomer due to his time with the national team and multiple adult competitions, has not achieved remarkable results and is likely ranked at the bottom of the men's singles team. The Indonesia Masters is a Super 500 level open tournament where Wang had the opportunity to compete. His first-round opponent, Ng Tze Yong, was not particularly strong, ranking lower and two years younger than Wang. Surprisingly, Wang lost to him. Losing is one thing, but if it were a hard-fought three-set match with a narrow margin of defeat, it would not be as embarrassing. However, Wang was defeated in two sets, scoring only 12 points in the second set, which is quite unacceptable! Wang was not the only one to exit in the first round; there was also the men's doubles pair of Zhu Yijun and Sun Wenjun. Zhu Yijun is a world junior champion and a doubles prodigy, excelling in both men's doubles and mixed doubles. His mixed…

Recently, Zhang Jike, a legendary figure in the table tennis world, made a bold statement during a live broadcast that exposed the internal personnel issues of the Chinese national table tennis team to the public eye. This revelation quickly sparked intense discussions online, with the controversy not only concerning the internal management of the national team but also touching the hearts of countless fans. In the live stream, Zhang Jike appeared serious and spoke sharply, unreservedly pointing out the problems within the main lineup of the national table tennis team. Although he did not explicitly mention any specific player's name, his remark, "Some main players lack strength but are blindly confident," was like a heavy bomb that instantly exploded on the internet. Netizens quickly started a "deduction mode," trying to find the players who fit this description from among the main players of the national team, with various speculations and discussions rapidly spreading across major social media platforms. Even more shocking was his in-depth analysis of Hao Shuai, known as the "strongest sparring partner," who had been serving as a sparring partner for a long time. Zhang Jike reminisced with a tone of emotion and dissatisfaction: "From the glorious era of Wang Liqin, Hao Shuai has been silently working in the sparring partner position; when I became the main player, he was still a sparring partner; and even when Fan Zhendong took up the mantle, Hao Shuai remained a sparring partner. But later on, some main players could hardly defeat Hao Shuai in matches, yet they still let Hao Shuai…

The Australian Open has entered its ninth day of competition, with the matches gradually reaching their climax. Currently, only Zhang Shuai remains from the Chinese contingent, with both the women's doubles and mixed doubles teams advancing to the quarterfinals. The women's doubles match has already concluded with a disappointing exit, leaving only the mixed doubles competition. In the women's singles event, there have been several upsets. The sixth-seeded player, Elena Rybakina, lost 1-2 to American player Madison Keys. It was unfortunate that in the first and third sets, Rybakina had the advantage of serving first but failed to capitalize on it. Keys played exceptionally well in the first and third sets, leaving Rybakina with little room for a comeback. Rybakina was the first of the top four players to drop out due to her poor health, which has led to frequent withdrawals from tournaments. Her level of play has been inconsistent, capable of defeating anyone when at her best but struggling against even lower-ranked opponents when not. Just one day after Rybakina's exit from the Australian Open, Goran Ivanisevic announced that he would no longer serve as her coach. He stated, "After the end of the trial period at the Australian Open, I wish Elena and her team all the best for the future." Ivanisevic had previously revealed that his goal was to help Rybakina make more use of her strong serve and baseline game to come to the net more often and finish points. Although the results at the Australian Open were not ideal, there were moments of brilliance.…

This market's short-term ecosystem, at its core, resembles a chess game involving multiple parties. The activities within a chess game can be simply viewed as having three identities: "chess pieces," "chess players," and "spectators." Chess pieces are the most basic units in the game, representing the largest and most widespread group. However, sometimes they lack self-awareness and often feel good about themselves, mistakenly considering themselves as chess players and giving directions as if they were. Spectators are the variables in the chess game, with their numbers fluctuating significantly. If the game is exciting and intense, the number of spectators will sharply decrease as they join the game to become chess pieces. Conversely, if the game is dull and most people start to observe, the number of spectators increases. In this market, those who truly deserve the title of "chess player" are rare, akin to finding a phoenix among chickens or a unicorn among horses. The birth of a chess player in the "history of the chess game" can be said to occur once every ten years. It can be said that circumstances make heroes, and each hero has accomplished a "precious chess game," which becomes a well-known story and is frequently discussed by others. After gaining a simple understanding of this ecosystem, let's examine how each chess game operates. Chess pieces follow the "instincts of human nature" (system settings) and tremble without any pattern in this circle, diligently providing "ecological nutrients" 365 days a year without rest. Chess players observe the stars at night, following the periodic operation rules based…

With the Chinese table tennis team sweeping all five gold medals at the Paris Olympics, the competition and confrontation in the table tennis events during the Paris Olympic cycle have finally come to an end. From the results, the Chinese table tennis team emerged as the sole winner. Of course, such an outcome is bound to be met with dissatisfaction from some quarters. For instance, the Japanese table tennis team certainly has its own aspirations. However, the Paris Olympics are now a thing of the past, and a new Olympic cycle has arrived! The Japanese table tennis team has also made adjustments, including a change in coaching staff, in the hope of breaking China's dominance at the Los Angeles Olympics. Recently, the Japan Table Tennis Association announced the appointment of their new head coaches. The men's team will be led by Kishikawa Kento, while the women's team will be coached by Nakazawa Toshio. They are set to officially take up their positions in April this year. Upon learning that Nakazawa Toshio will become the head coach of the Japanese women's table tennis team, many fans are worried about the prospects for the Chinese women's team. Why is this so? Please read on! Firstly, Nakazawa Toshio's coaching abilities are commendable. In 2016, Hirano Miu won the gold medal at the Women's World Cup, and in 2017, Ishikawa Kasumi clinched the mixed doubles title at the World Table Tennis Championships. Nakazawa Toshio was the mentor to both Hirano Miu and Ishikawa Kasumi. Including current players like Tomokazu Harimoto and Miyuu Kihara, many…

Rajon Rondo's rebellious nature led him on a journey of wandering throughout his career, with the entire league waiting for his retirement because he is considered the ideal coaching candidate. Having left the Celtics, Rajon Rondo may have forgotten that he was no longer the leader of the Mavericks. He remained as defiant as he was in Boston, openly criticizing head coach Rick Carlisle for calling a timeout during a game. This behavior quickly had consequences; following the match, the team announced that Rondo would miss the rest of the season due to a recurring back injury. This decision came at a critical time, as the Mavericks were facing the Rockets in the playoffs. The decision to sideline their starting point guard indicated that Rondo's issues had affected team unity, making his departure from the team inevitable. It seemed as if the Mavericks were subtly warning the Bulls' coaching staff about Rondo's potential for causing trouble. They suggested that while Rondo is a good player with a deep understanding of the game, he tends to create problems each season. This prediction was soon proven correct when, during a regular-season game against his former team, the Mavericks, Rondo, as the Bulls' main player, made five turnovers and only two assists. He blamed this performance on assistant coach Jim Boylen, berating him and throwing a towel in his face. Once again, Rondo became a destabilizing factor for the team, leading to his contract being terminated despite it being a two-year deal. Even after achieving the best record for the team, they were…

In an NBA regular season game, the Minnesota Timberwolves faced off against the Los Angeles Lakers. In this match, Lakers star LeBron James scored only 10 points, with 8 rebounds and 4 assists but also had 6 turnovers. James went 0 for 4 from beyond the arc and had a team-low plus/minus of -28. Anthony Davis contributed 12 points, while Russell added 20 points. The final score was a lopsided 80-109 in favor of the Timberwolves, with a point differential of 29, showcasing another significant margin in NBA scores. During the first half, Conley assisted Edwards for a layup, which was the first score of the game. Davis assisted Hachimura for a dunk, while Edwards made one of two free throws. Vincent scored on a reverse layup, and Randle had an easy dunk. Walker's layup was disrupted by Hachimura, but DiVincenzo easily hit an open three-pointer.
