Whenever CBA players announce their relationships, couples who are also insiders receive blessings, while other couples are mostly not favored. However, only the two people in a relationship know if the shoes fit or not. The longevity of a relationship depends on the two people involved, not whether they receive external blessings. For example, the couple Li Tianrong and Hu Jingwen have been in love for 5 years despite everyone's disapproval, and this online romance is likely to have a romantic ending. Li Tianrong has delivered his best performance in the CBA this season, averaging 15.3 points, 3 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 51.5% and a three-point shooting percentage as high as 47.1%. Among them, his three-point shooting percentage ranks second in the entire league, only behind Jordan Floyd, the foreign aid from the Nanjing team. At 24 years old, he finally broke the doubts and delivered the performance that outsiders expected, allowing his girlfriend to shed the label of a femme fatale. He entered the CBA in 2021, and his rookie season was commendable, averaging 11.6 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 56.5% and a three-point shooting percentage of 40.6%. He also won the slam dunk contest championship and was hailed as the "Chinese Westbrook," making fans hopeful for his future. However, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. In his second season, he performed very poorly, averaging only 4.6 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of only 38.1%…

You might wonder, as the reigning champion of the CBA, how could Liaoning Men's Basketball Team have fallen to such a state, suffering consecutive away defeats, even losing their touch, playing like a lost rookie team. The recent losing streak has made people exclaim: Can even tigers get sleepy? Especially in the last game against Jilin, it was truly a sight to behold. From the start of the game, Liaoning seemed to have forgotten how to play basketball, trailing by a whopping 39 points in the first half! What does this mean? This isn't playing basketball; this is getting beaten, like a primary school student with a big backpack being bullied by older students in a practice match. In the first half, they scored only 38 points, while Jilin had already racked up a significant lead, suffocating Liaoning. Despite a slight improvement and some fightback from the players in the second half, they still couldn't turn the tide and ended up losing by 12 points. Watching this game, one begins to question whether Liaoning has lost its championship identity. The team can be described as utterly dispirited. Even their pillar inside player, Han Dejun, an old hand, appeared somewhat powerless on the court. Injuries keep piling up, with Zhao Jiwei out, and Liu Yanyu and Zhang Chengzhi Feng also plagued by injuries, further weakening an already not-so-strong lineup. The latest news is that Li Xiaoxu also left the court due to injury, with the severity unclear. Injuries just keep coming, making the team's lineup resemble a damaged jigsaw puzzle, incomplete…

The NBA has officially announced that Cui Yongxi has signed a two-way contract with the Brooklyn Nets. Following in the footsteps of Sun Yue, the Chinese national basketball team has welcomed another highly talented domestic player, Cui Yongxi, who is not only a source of pride for the Guangzhou Long Lions but also for the entire Chinese men's basketball team. Of course, behind all this, we must thank the Nets' owner, Joe Tsai. While it is undeniable that Joe Tsai has provided significant assistance, Cui Yongxi has also shown great determination and hard work, ultimately becoming a top-level player. This is a mutual choice. It is worth noting that Cui Yongxi revealed that his salary in the CBA was in the millions, and it is also in the millions in the NBA. Choosing the higher stage of the NBA is undoubtedly better. We wish Cui Yongxi all the best in his future career, as he is indeed the hope of the Chinese men's basketball team. In addition to Cui Yongxi, three other guards have also made their mark on the Chinese national team: Hu Mingxuan, Liao Sanning, and Wang Lanqin. These three players have distinct characteristics, and they all played a significant role in the victory over Juventus. They have all made great contributions. Hu Mingxuan is the final three-point shooter, and finally, someone on the Chinese team dares to take the last shot and can make it to complete the game-winning shot. Isn't this just like the effect of the Chinese team's buzzer-beater against Slovenia back then? Hu Mingxuan…

In the first set, Tianjin made multiple adjustments, with Fetisova and Liu Meijun playing well, leading 12-8, causing the opponent to call a timeout. Liu Meijun's continuous blocks and spikes created a six-point gap, and Tianjin led all the way to win 25-20. In the second set, the score was close, but Tianjin won due to their proactive offense at the end of the set. After a 20-all tie, Zhang Shiqi's quick attack resulted in a block, to which Yang Hanyu…

The Rockets and the Warriors narrowly win their games, while the Mavericks make a comeback! Here are the latest rankings in the Western Conference, with an expanded gap between the 2nd and 3rd place teams. The Warriors' close victory over the Pistons: Curry struggles but still wins the key game The Warriors embarked on an away game challenge against the Pistons, which was undoubtedly a tough match. From the beginning of the game, both sides were locked in fierce competition, with the atmosphere on the court as tense as a fully drawn bowstring. The Warriors' players were determined, knowing the difficulties of playing away from home, giving their all in every attack and defense. As the core of the Warriors, Curry attracted countless eyes from the start. He kept running and weaving through the court, trying to create excellent scoring opportunities for his teammates while also looking for his own shooting rhythm. However, this night, the basket seemed particularly "stingy" to him beyond the three-point line. He repeatedly jumped to shoot, with that standard shooting posture drawing beautiful arcs in the air, but the ball repeatedly missed the basket. Throughout the game, Curry made only 5 out of 21 shots, including just 2 out of 14 three-pointers. Such statistics would usually be enough to plunge him into a whirlpool of public opinion. But basketball has never been a one-man game, and the other players of the Warriors showed tenacious fighting spirit in this game. In the first three quarters, they steadily built up an advantage through tacit cooperation and active…

On January 17th, the announcement of the national table tennis Asian Cup lineup caused quite a stir in the sports circle! The three Olympic champions Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, and Chen Meng were absent collectively, which was like a blockbuster bomb, instantly igniting heated discussions among fans. Facing the sensitive issue of Ma Long and Fan Zhendong's omission, men's team head coach Wang Hao was somewhat reluctant to respond, which made many fans uneasy. However, women's team head coach Ma Lin appeared particularly candid and responsible. He clearly responded to the reason why Chen Meng did not participate: firstly, Chen Meng has withdrawn from the world ranking system; secondly, after communication between the team and her, it was determined that she would not participate in international competitions for the time being. Ma Lin's approach really did everything he should have done, and also greatly changed everyone's perception of him. In fact, Chen Meng's situation is quite different from Fan Zhendong's. Chen Meng has no advantages in terms of age and condition. She might have made a wise choice by using the world ranking as an excuse to withdraw from international events. After all, young players like Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu are so strong now. If Chen Meng continued to compete with them for the Grand Slam, it might really be very strenuous. Now choosing to withdraw can also be considered as leaving herself some dignity. It was also quite unexpected that Qian Tianyi was not included in the women's team lineup this time. Qian Tianyi was heavily cultivated during…

Women's wrestling has been a bright spot in the world of wrestling, initially catering to the desires of male fans by featuring many female wrestlers as sexy vixens with hot bodies and blonde hair. Their presence not only attracted a large male audience but also added diversity to the fighting on the stage, making it one of the unique charms of wrestling! Under Vince McMahon's era, many actresses who were considered "flower vases" were active on WWE screens, including many male fans' favorites such as Stacy Keibler (George Clooney's rumored girlfriend), Torrie Wilson, Maryse (Miz's wife), Kelly Kelly, Trish Stratus, etc. Today, veteran wrestling media Sportskeeda has compiled a list of five former WWE actresses who were very popular during Vince McMahon's time, have won WWE Divas championships, and even though they are now over fifty years old, their looks remain as charming as fine wine that gets better with age. Let's take a look and see if any of them are your childhood crushes? First, Kelly Kelly joined WWE at the age of 19 and worked full-time for WWE for six years until her contract expired in September 2012. Since then, she has participated in some WWE events sporadically. Her last appearance in the Royal Rumble was in 2022. Even though Kelly Kelly is now 38 years old, she has been away from the wrestling industry for 13 years and is already a mother of two children, she still maintains an astonishing figure that looks amazing. Moreover, Kelly Kelly continues to model for multiple brands. Second, AJ Lee, as…

On January 20th in the CBA arena, Beijing Men's Basketball Team faced off against Guangsha Men's Basketball Team. This match held significant meaning for Beijing, as they had just suffered two consecutive losses, while Guangsha was on a 9-game winning streak, firmly occupying the top spot in the league. The performance of both teams at the start of the game sparked heated discussions among fans, especially regarding the situation of the Beijing team. The game began with Guangsha quickly gaining the upper hand. Brown and Hu Jinqiu played exceptionally well, leading their team to take the initiative. Although Beijing had intentions to catch up, the lack of touch caused their offensive rhythm to fall into trouble at times, and the score gap gradually widened. In the final stage of the first quarter, Beijing experienced a slight improvement when Lin Bingsheng came off the bench and displayed strong offensive firepower, scoring 9 points in just one quarter, temporarily reducing the point difference. As the game progressed, Beijing found their rhythm. Although Guangsha maintained a high defensive intensity, they also made some mistakes, giving Beijing opportunities to close the gap. In the second quarter, Beijing launched a fierce attack, once reducing the point difference to only 2 points, almost seeing the hope of leveling the score. However, Sun Minghui and Hu Jinqiu of the Guangsha team were not willing to let Beijing make an easy comeback. Sun Minghui helped Guangsha stabilize the situation with his calm three-point shots, while Hu Jinqiu scored frequently in the paint, allowing Guangsha to widen the gap…

In the discussion about the Olympics, onlookers lamented, "Alas, these countries have picked up a bargain but ended up in debt!" In modern society, hosting an Olympic Games seems to be not just a sports feast but also a gamble for local finances. When countries bid for the Olympics, they face not only opportunities but also huge economic burdens that are hard to bear. The cost of the Olympics has skyrocketed since the 21st Montreal Summer Olympics in 1976. In recent decades, the budget for the Olympics has risen from hundreds of millions of dollars to tens of billions. For example, the total cost of the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics was as high as 12billion,andthecostoftheTokyo2020Olympicsreached12 billion, and the cost of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics reached 12billion,andthecostoftheTokyo2020Olympicsreached15 billion, despite adjustments due to the pandemic. Such high costs deter many countries, and even some that have hosted the Olympics feel unable to cope. The huge construction and operating expenses not only strain the national treasury but also worry ordinary people about whether future economic burdens will be imposed on their lives. Montreal and Athens, the experiences of these two cities are undoubtedly a warning for modern Olympics. After the 1976 Olympics, Montreal failed to control its budget properly, shouldering debt problems for decades until it finally paid them off in 2006. Athens, although once bustling before the 2004 Olympics, fell into financial difficulties after the games due to the idling of venues and increased maintenance costs. The success and failure of Athens serve as a wake-up call for emerging host countries.…

CBA Three Major News: Beikong Adjusts Coaches, Yu Dehao Out for the Season with Serious Injury, Zhejiang Men's Basketball Penalized Beijing time January 20th, CBA this season has passed the halfway point. Compared to last season, the CBA pattern has changed greatly. Shandong men's basketball and Shanxi men's basketball have become dark horses, ranking second and third in the standings respectively. However, looking back at the two Beijing teams that invested heavily in the offseason, Shougang and Beikong, their results are not optimistic, especially Beikong men's basketball. During the offseason, they recruited soldiers and horses, introduced Salinger and Shen Zijie, and also signed Zhu Songwei. It was originally thought that there would be a place for Beikong in the finals. However, from the beginning of the season until now, Beikong men's basketball team's performance has been poor, and even suffered consecutive defeats, which also made the head coach Min Lulei controversial, especially in terms of personnel, many fans think that he is rigid in using people and poor in on-site adaptability, so there was once a call for him to step down. So will Min Lulei step down because of this? The answer is no for the time being. Why is this? In the previous season, Min Lulei had achieved satisfactory results for Beikong's high-level management. Although his current coaching record is not good, Beikong is still willing to give him some more time. Although Min Lulei will not step down, in order to improve the team's performance, Beikong men's basketball team recently adjusted the coaches and signed a foreign…
