The Los Angeles Lakers have been on a roll recently, winning five out of their last six games, even managing victories without LeBron James on the court. Following adjustments, the Lakers' defense has become the second most efficient in the league over their last ten games. Anthony Davis has been pivotal, not only scoring but also leading by example with his defensive efforts. In their latest game against the Sacramento Kings, which James missed, the Lakers still managed a significant win, demonstrating the excellent performance of role players such as Rui Hachimura, Austin Reaves, and Kendrick Nunn, who all had breakout performances. Together, they scored a combined total of 84 points, 24 rebounds, and 24 assists, leading to a victory that proves the team's recent signings were a gamble that paid off. Firstly, the Lakers have swept the Kings this season, winning all four matchups. Prior to this season, Davis had a 0-10 record against Domantas Sabonis, but he has now broken that curse. In the recent game, Davis scored 36 points, grabbed 15 rebounds, and provided 8 assists (the highest in both points and rebounds), while Sabonis had 14 points, 12 rebounds, and 7 assists. Davis emphasized the importance of defense in an interview, stating that he told his teammates to focus on improving their defensive efforts against the fast-paced opponents. Secondly, with James absent, the trio of Davis, Reaves, and Hachimura stepped up, combining for 84 points, 24 rebounds, and 24 assists to secure a win. The Lakers are seeing more and more role players step up to…

In recent days, the sports world has been rocked by revelations from Judo Olympic champion Zhuang Xiaoyan, who publicly criticized her former mentor, Liu Yongfu, accusing him of being a wolf in sheep's clothing. The allegations include forcing students to take medication he had personally concocted and engaging in domestic violence against his wife, as well as infidelity. The controversy has sparked intense debate among netizens, with many questioning the veracity of the claims. Zhuang Xiaoyan, a decorated athlete, has come forward to denounce Liu Yongfu for using her name to create an online persona and gain followers on social media platforms. She recounted how Liu Yongfu would visit her family regularly, persuading her parents to let her switch from shot put to Judo, a decision that ultimately led to her success. However, Zhuang Xiaoyan also revealed a darker side to Liu Yongfu, stating that he would force them to take medication before competitions, sometimes even watching them vomit it back up. These medications, which she claims were prepared by Liu Yongfu himself, allegedly caused severe side effects ranging from acne to infertility. Additionally, she accused him of domestic abuse and infidelity during his younger years. Despite her own relentless training and the support of team doctors and sparring partners, Zhuang Xiaoyan suggests that Liu Yongfu may not have achieved much without their contributions. After achieving fame, Liu Yongfu is said to have capitalized on their names to open Judo training classes. Zhuang Xiaoyan questions the legitimacy of his wealth, rumored to be close to 50 million yuan, with businesses…

Breaking News! Lakers Complete Major Trade, 5-for-2 Deal, Welcoming a 3D Forward! Magic Johnson Praises: "Fantastic Trade"‌ As we approach the end of 2024, the NBA trade deadline is just around the corner. During this period leading up to the trade deadline, many teams are contemplating significant trades. Among them is the highly anticipated Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers have had a season with ups and downs, indicating that there are still several weaknesses within the team. The Lakers are attempting to strengthen and enhance their roster through trades. On December 30th, Beijing time, fans finally witnessed the Lakers' major trade. According to ESPN's renowned reporter Shams Charania, multiple sources revealed that the Lakers and the Nets have reached a trade agreement, as follows: Lakers receive: Dorian Finney-Smith, Shake Milton; Nets receive: D'Angelo Russell, Maxwell Lewis, and three second-round picks (2027, 2030, 2031, all from the Lakers). It's worth noting that this marks the second time Russell has been traded by the Lakers to the Nets. Back in 2017, he was sent to the Nets by the Lakers, where he played for two years and even made an All-Star appearance. The Nets can be considered the place where Russell reached his peak and where his dreams began. Returning to the Nets is a great outcome for Russell. However, Lakers fans may feel somewhat saddened by Russell's departure. The Lakers acquired Finney-Smith, an exceptional forward. He possesses excellent three-point shooting ability and outstanding defensive skills, making him a top-tier 3D forward – a rare asset in the league. Besides the Lakers,…

This season has been incredibly challenging for the Guangdong team, with ups and downs and a willingness to lose against any opponent, resulting in poor performance. The reasons for their difficulties are straightforward: issues with selecting foreign players, particularly the inability to find a suitable small forward, and injuries to key players, such as the severe injury to Hu Mingxuan, which kept him out of games for an extended period. Despite these challenges, the Guangdong team, with 11 CBA championships under their belt, always manages to overcome adversity and surprise fans. Last night's game against the Jilin team was another testament to this resilience, with a remarkable 41-point victory over Jilin, winning 106-65. This impressive display left spectators in awe, as they did not expect such an explosive performance from a team facing such difficulties. The factors contributing to this significant win include subpar performance by the Jilin team and a wave of injuries among their key players. On the other hand, the Guangdong team played to their style and showcased their abilities on the court. One player deserving special mention is Huang Rongqi, who joined the Guangdong team this summer. In the game, Huang displayed great initiative, continuously driving to the basket for scores on offense and tirelessly engaging in defense. He also excelled in organizing plays, delivering impressive assists. The live commentator was effusive in their praise for Huang, likening his offensive play to that of Weems, his passing to James, and his three-point shooting to Marshon Brooks. The commentator concluded that Huang's move to the Guangdong team…

On December 30th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued with a match between the Houston Rockets and the Miami Heat at the Rockets' home court. The game was closely contested, with neither team able to pull away, as the Rockets struggled with their outside shooting and trailed by 3 points at halftime. However, Green had a sudden burst in the second half, taking control of the game for a while, but the Rockets collapsed again in the crucial moments, allowing a 17-2 run by the Heat, leading to a loss of composure among the players and a fierce altercation between Amen and Herro. Ultimately, the Rockets lost 100-104 to the Heat, suffering their second consecutive defeat due to a late-game collapse. The Rockets have not defeated the Heat in five seasons, but the players still wanted to win. They did not start the game strongly, with both teams engaged in a tug-of-war, the score remaining close, and the Rockets relying on Shen Jing to keep them in the game. In the second half, Green started scoring consistently, taking the lead at one point and maintaining it into the final quarter. However, the offense stalled again, and the Heat capitalized with a decisive 17-2 run, leaving the Rockets unable to recover and resulting in another defeat. In the previous game against the Timberwolves, the Rockets also collapsed in the last quarter, losing after a 15-2 run by Minnesota. This time, the Rockets initially held the lead, but their offense suddenly faltered, failing to score, while the Heat turned the game…

Neutral names are once again the subject of ridicule. According to the latest news from Football News, another Chinese Super League (CSL) team is set to change cities, with Cangzhou Lions being reabsorbed by Shijiazhuang. This comes four years after the team moved from Shijiazhuang to Cangzhou, and now they are set to return to their original city. This means that the team's neutral name will change again, and it is unlikely that they will revert to their previous name, Shijiazhuang Yongchang. As a result, the team is expected to have its third name change in just four years, which is more frequent than when naming rights were allowed! The latest news is that Cangzhou Lions' wage arrears of around 100 million yuan have seen significant progress. The Cangzhou authorities have fulfilled their previous promise, providing 60 million yuan in funds upfront, with additional supporting funds to follow. However, Cangzhou Lions will not remain in Cangzhou, as Shijiazhuang is set to take over the CSL team. This suggests that Cangzhou may struggle to continue funding the team's future expenses, leaving them reliant on Shijiazhuang. Cangzhou Lions' predecessor was Shijiazhuang Yongchang, a name that was used for seven years until the Chinese Football Association introduced the neutral name policy in 2021. This led to the team's relocation to Cangzhou and the adoption of the neutral name, Cangzhou Lions. However, just four years later, the team is forced to return home to Shijiazhuang, meaning that the Cangzhou Lions name will only have been used for four years. If the Chinese Football Association…

This season marks the first after reforms in the Chinese Volleyball Super League. Previously criticized for its short duration, we have extended the new season to March and introduced a youth team system with promotion and relegation, which has intensified competition and instilled a sense of urgency among teams. If a team ranks eighth in the playoffs, it will be relegated to Group B. During the first stage of the regular season, aside from errors in individual player data released by the Chinese Volleyball Association (CVA), what stands out is the controversial call during a match between Tianjin and Shandong women's volleyball teams, where a ball that did not touch the ground was mistakenly ruled as such, sparking significant debate. On December 29th, the men's volleyball playoffs kicked off, with third-ranked Tianjin facing sixth-ranked Beijing, at Tianjin's home court. In the first set, with Beijing leading 15-13, Tianjin's No. 9 served, and the referee called it out of bounds. Tianjin challenged the call, and the replay confirmed the serve was in, awarding the point back to Tianjin. However, this process sparked controversy. The ball flew out from the sideline, but the video replay showed it coming from the baseline—a blatant discrepancy that is outrageous. The CVA's obvious fabrication is disheartening. With high-tech Hawk-Eye challenges in place, without them, referees would largely determine match outcomes, which is unfair to opponents who train diligently. The match was officiated by renowned referee Liu Jiang, who recently refereed Zhu Ting's match at the Women's Club World Cup. However, referees are powerless in this situation,…

As the season progresses, the Houston Rockets have experienced significant changes in their performance. Although the team's defensive efficiency ranks second in the league, their shortcomings on the offensive end remain evident, particularly in their three-point shooting. In a recent NBA Cup match against the Thunder, the Rockets attempted as many as 11 three-pointers but were unable to overcome the strong defense of the Thunder, ultimately resulting in their elimination. The Rockets' defense has undoubtedly been a highlight of this season. Head coach Udoka has integrated young players like Amen and Ethan into the tactical system, making the team's defense a force to be reckoned with in the West. The vitality and execution shown by these young players on the court have placed the Rockets' defensive efficiency almost at the top of the league. Especially the progress of Amen and Ethan has gradually made the Rockets' management realize that these players are not only the core of the future but also capable of helping the team secure a place in future competitions. However, despite significant improvements on the defensive end, the Rockets' offensive performance has yet to elevate the team to new heights. Currently, the Rockets rank 22nd and 26th in the league in three-point shots made and three-point shooting percentage, respectively, indicating a significant weakness in outside offense. Although the team has ball-handlers like Jalen Green and VanVleet, the Rockets clearly need more outside firepower support in terms of three-point shooting accuracy and efficiency. To enhance their offensive firepower, the Rockets' management has begun to adjust the team's lineup,…

This season, the performance of Zhejiang Chouzhou Men's Basketball is absolutely eye-catching, especially in shooting, it's like a shooting machine! Looking at the data, an average of 82 shots per game, hitting 41.2 times, with a shooting percentage of 50.2%, isn't that impressive? An average of 32.4 three-point attempts per game, hitting 12.5 times, with a three-point shooting percentage as high as 38.9%. Free throws are also incredibly stable, averaging 24.7 free throw attempts per game, hitting 20.9 times, with a free throw percentage of 84.5%. These three shooting percentages are all the first in the CBA league, who can be convinced? You think, how could the team's scoring not be high, relying on such accurate shooting, how could they not put pressure on their opponents? To be honest, Chouzhou Men's Basketball can achieve such a high shooting percentage, which is definitely not achieved by a single player fighting alone, but the result of the whole team working together. Look, the players cooperate so well that they are like brothers, and when attacking, everyone takes turns to attack, somewhat like an invincible combination of passing and receiving the ball. Every attack is very particular, not simply grabbing the ball and shooting, but through continuous running and screening, finally finding the most suitable shooting opportunity. This kind of team basketball style is not like traditional one-on-one battles, but more like a precise machine, with each part accurately cooperating, ultimately achieving such efficient scoring. Some netizens commented: If you talk about what is most attractive about Zhejiang Chouzhou Men's Basketball now, it…
