On December 30th, Beijing time, the Lakers have finally strengthened their roster. Both the Lakers and the Nets have officially announced the completion of a major 5-for-2 trade. The Lakers have posted photos welcoming their two new additions to Los Angeles while bidding farewell to Russell; LeBron James and Anthony Davis lead an 18-man new squad in pursuit of the championship, with Finney-Smith and Milton supporting them. The Lakers and the Nets have completed a significant 5-for-2 trade. The Lakers sent D'Angelo Russell, Maxwell Lewis, and three second-round picks (2027, 2030, and 2031, all from the Lakers) to Brooklyn, receiving Dorian Finney-Smith and Shake Milton from the Nets. Through this trade, the Lakers not only acquired Finney-Smith, an excellent defensive player with accurate three-point shooting, but also made their salary cap more flexible and saved $15 million in luxury tax. ESPN rated this trade, giving the Lakers an A- for successfully strengthening their team, while the Nets received a C+. After the official announcement of the trade, the Lakers' official account posted photos welcoming Finney-Smith and Milton to Los Angeles and posted photos bidding farewell to Russell and Lewis; the Nets welcomed Russell's return, welcomed Lewis to Brooklyn, and bid farewell to Smith and Milton. Russell's career with the Lakers has come to an end once again. This season, he played 29 games for the Lakers, averaging 12.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 0.8 steals per game; throughout his career, he has played five seasons for the Lakers, appearing in 265 games and averaging 15.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4.9…

Congratulations to Du Feng! Guangdong Team Sets New Record! A Night of 41-point Victory with Three Unexpected Gains! 106-65, Guangdong men's basketball team has set a new record for the biggest winning margin this season! To be honest, before this game, I was a bit worried whether Guangdong could defeat Jilin. After all, in the last game, the team did not perform well overall, and Jilin even led Liaoning by 41 points at halftime! Jones, who returned to Jilin, averages an impressive 33.3 points, second-highest in the league! However, after the pre-game roster was announced, the suspense of the game disappeared because several key players from Jilin, including Jones, Jiang Yuxing, and Jiang Weize, were unable to play! Therefore, for this game, the number of points won is not as important as the process of the game! Looking at the entire game, Guangdong had both joys and concerns! The main concerns are two-fold! Firstly, there is the old problem of relaxation! In the first quarter, the full-strength Guangdong team only led by 3 points with a score of 25-22, with Gillenwater scoring 18 points out of the 25. The team played very simply on both offense and defense, giving the opponent too many easy scoring opportunities on defense and lacking coordination on offense except for Gillenwater's hot hand! Fortunately, after adjusting during the break, the team increased their defensive intensity in the second quarter, scoring 38-17 in that quarter, and continued this intensity in the second half, allowing Xu Jie, Gillenwater, and Morland to finish work early after three quarters!…

The competition for foreign players in the CBA is becoming increasingly fierce, and it seems that only one person can save the Guangdong Southern Tigers men's basketball team. The team has recently achieved a significant victory over the Jilin Northeast Tigers, winning 106-65 as an away game. This impressive win has caught the attention of fans, but despite this success, Guangdong needs to prepare its foreign player lineup for the playoffs. Currently, Guangdong has a roster of foreign players including Morand, Bazley, Jilunwater, and Les. However, when facing strong opponents with powerful small foreign players, Guangdong lacks a core player who can match their level. In a recent game, new signing Les entered the 12-man squad and had the opportunity to play, but failed to score in less than two minutes on the court, indicating that he may not meet the team's standards. As a result, the team may be more inclined to use domestic players during garbage time rather than training Les, who might be dropped by head coach Du Feng and general manager Zhu Fangyu. In contrast to other teams' top foreign players such as Liaoning's Wells, Zhejiang Guangsha's Brown, Sichuan's Samuna, and Shanxi's Diawara, who have all delivered explosive high-scoring performances for their respective teams, Guangdong's four foreign players have not performed as well on both offense and defense. When Guangdong faces opponents with powerful small foreign players, they lack a stable ball-carrying offensive point and struggle to form effective team cooperation, often finding themselves at a disadvantage. In other words, Guangdong urgently needs a strong foreign…

This summer, when Thiago Motta stepped into the Allianz Stadium with great ambition, he never expected that half a year later, the team he coached, the traditional Serie A powerhouse Juventus, would remain undefeated in the league after more than half the season, but the record of 7 wins and 10 draws in 17 games was particularly embarrassing. The once fluid and dynamic offense seen in Bologna was nowhere to be found, and Juventus' sluggish offensive performance matched the club's nickname - "the old lady" - so perfectly! Juventus' main center forward, Vlahovic, has performed mediocrely under Motta. The Serbian star is Juventus' highest-valued player at a staggering 70 million euros. In 15 Serie A appearances, he has only scored 7 goals and contributed 1 assist, barely reaching an acceptable level, which does not match his high price tag. The lack of offensive power is a pain point for Motta, and he is bound to make moves in the upcoming winter transfer window, especially in the forward position. This season, the Premier League giants Manchester United have had many ups and downs. After replacing Dutch coach Ten Hag mid-season, the Portuguese young coach took office but did not bring substantial changes to the team, and even caused a series of turmoil. They will handle a batch of players in the winter window to rebuild the team. Ten Hag's important signing, Onana, has been inconsistent since arriving at Old Trafford. He made mistakes in matches against Nottingham Forest and Viktoria Plzen, and then directly conceded a goal from a corner on…

Unexpectedly, a big fish has emerged in the Chinese Super League transfer market, attracting the attention of two Shanghai teams? After announcing the departure of Marele, Shenhua needs to introduce a new foreign aid in the forward position. Therefore, after comprehensive consideration by the club's management and coaching staff, they decided to bring in Minero from Brazil. Minero is a very capable forward who once played for Yokohama F. Marinos. Later, Minero returned to play in the Brazilian second division and became the main striker for his team. Minero successfully helped his former club get promoted, earning praise from many fans for his abilities and performance. Therefore, if Minero can come to Shenhua, he can indeed replace Marele. At that time, according to Shenhua's follow-up reporter Yang Yi, Minero was about to sign a new contract with the club. Combined with this reporter's report that Minero will join the team in the winter window, it should be a done deal. There were rumors that the Port team was also interested in Minero and hoped to introduce him to strengthen the front line and replace the departing Bargas. In fact, when the agent prepared to operate Minero's move to the Chinese Super League to make money, he first recommended him to the Port team. Because the Port team's head coach Muscat is Minero's mentor, the two worked together at Yokohama F. Marinos. However, the Port team was then renewing their contract with Bargas and did not need to strengthen their front line. So, the agent recommended Minero to Shenhua. It is…

In the 23rd round of the CBA, the following players were considered to have performed poorly: Zhang Ning (Shanxi): In a close game where Shanxi narrowly defeated Zhejiang Guangsha by 2 points, Zhang Ning was a key offensive player for Shanxi. However, he was ejected from the game with two technical fouls after committing a senseless arm-clamp foul in the fourth quarter with 7 minutes and 39 seconds remaining, at which point Shanxi was only trailing by 1 point. Zhang Ning had a poor performance overall, scoring no points in the first quarter, 2 points in the second quarter, and 6 points in the third quarter. He finished the game with 10 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 5 fouls, and 4 turnovers. Knight, Carlton, Hu Jinqiu, Sun Minghui (Guangsha): Knight struggled offensively, shooting 2 out of 10 and scoring only 6 points. Carlton went scoreless from the field, relying on free throws for his 4 points. Hu Jinqiu had an uncharacteristically quiet game, not attempting a shot in the first quarter and finishing with 0 points. Sun Minghui also had a low-scoring game, with only 3 points in the first half. Despite improving in the second half, both players had multiple turnovers, with Sun Minghui missing a crucial shot at the end of the game that could have tied the score. Fan Ziming (Beijing), Zhu Mingzhen (Nanjing), Zeng Fanri (Nanjing): Beijing narrowly won against Nanjing by 1 point. Fan Ziming had a disappointing game, scoring only 4 points and struggling defensively. Zhu Mingzhen missed a layup opportunity at the end…

Portuguese full-back Nuno Mendes' renewal rumors with Paris Saint-Germain have been ongoing for a long time. In November, Skira exclusively reported that Nuno Mendes was about to reach a renewal contract with Paris, which would end in 2029; at the beginning of December, Le Parisien also stated that the renewal was imminent and would be announced by the end of the year. Now, it is already the end of December, and the winter transfer window is about to open, but the renewal between Nuno Mendes and Paris Saint-Germain is still at an impasse. In fact, there has always been some discussion about Mendes' renewal with Paris. Nuno Mendes has been playing for Paris for three seasons. He was signed by Paris Saint-Germain for a buyout fee of 38 million euros from Sporting Portugal. After signing with Paris, according to disclosures from multiple media outlets and salary statistics, Nuno Mendes' weekly salary is only 27,000 euros, which is slightly higher than the graduates of the youth training program at Paris Saint-Germain. However, Nuno Mendes is now the main left-back for Paris and has even been selected for the Portuguese national team, making this salary seem somewhat meager. Below is a salary table posted by some Paris fans, who also complain about Nuno Mendes' low salary. So, what kind of contract can Nuno Mendes get in Paris? This depends on how they negotiate. If the salary is not satisfactory, Nuno Mendes may feel that Paris is treating him unfairly, and it would not be surprising if he seeks to leave the team.…

The CBA mid-season best lineup selection only evaluates domestic players. Best Point Guard: Starting with Sun Minghui from Guangsha Men's Basketball Team, substitute Xu Jie from Guangdong Men's Basketball Team The quality of an organizing guard is determined by assists, with a higher average assist count and a lower assist-to-turnover ratio indicating better performance. At the end of the CBA half-season, Sun Minghui averaged 9.8 assists per game, ranking first among domestic players and second in the entire league. In addition to this, he also contributed an average of 15.6 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 2.6 steals per game. Xu Jie's average assist count after the half-season was 7.9, ranking second among domestic players and third in the entire league. Besides this, he could also contribute an average of 16.1 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.7 steals per game. Best Shooting Guard: Starting with Lin Wei from Nanjing Tongxi, substitute Guo Haowen from Nanjing Tongxi The quality of a shooting guard is determined by scoring and breakthrough statistics. In the CBA half-season, Lin Wei averaged 20.3 points per game, ranking first among domestic players. His shooting percentage was 42%, and his three-point shooting percentage was 40.2%, which is quite good. Guo Haowen's average score after the half-season was 17.1 points, ranking second among domestic players at the same position. His shooting percentage under the basket was 55.5%, with a high success rate for breakthroughs. Best Small Forward: Starting with Wang Ruize from Qingdao Men's Basketball Team, substitute Zhou Peng from Shenzhen Men's Basketball Team The quality of a small forward is determined…

Pirlo's successors are quite numerous, and at the time, everyone was looking for someone to fill his shoes. The desired candidates were Montolivo, Verratti, Marchisio, and Tonali, among whom Tonali was considered the most similar to Pirlo. When he first started playing for Brescia, not only did his playing style resemble Pirlo's, but his appearance did as well, making him a living embodiment of Pirlo. If you didn't look at his face and just watched his long hair fluttering as he ran, you might really think it was Pirlo reborn, with that unmistakable flavor. However, after a few years, when we look back at their performances, we find that they are still far from Pirlo. Not only is their playing style becoming less and less like his, but their approach on the field has also become ferociously aggressive. Tonali is seen as a technical Gattuso, while Montolivo is known as "Wen Yi Meng" and is remembered by many as a prodigy in the CM0304 football manager game, alongside Cerci, Pazzini, and others. He still leans towards a softer style and cannot achieve Pirlo's balanced offensive and defensive state. Verratti and Marchisio don't need to be mentioned; their performances and styles on the field are not like Pirlo's either. They are more akin to deep-lying midfielders or defensive central midfielders, which naturally differs from Pirlo's core playstyle. At the core, the most fundamental reason is the lack of a strategic vision and mindset. These players do not possess Pirlo's ability to control the rhythm of the game, that masterful orchestration and…

Translation: The name Chen Meng has recently become extremely popular, but the way it has gained attention is somewhat surprising. Journalist He Xiaolong has been determined to push Chen Meng into the limelight over the past few days, publishing three articles in a row accusing her of disgraceful behavior and claiming she is unworthy of her championship title. This incident has caused quite a stir online, with netizens eagerly expressing their opinions. The question now is, where does this storm of public opinion originate? What sensitive issues did He Xiaolong's articles ignite? He boldly questioned Chen Meng's Olympic qualifications. According to him, Wang Manyu has been on a winning streak, sweeping Japanese opponents, and seems more deserving of an Olympic spot than Chen Meng. Furthermore, he targeted the selection rules of the Table Tennis Association, suggesting there might be hidden agendas, possibly changing the rules for undisclosed benefits. He Xiaolong didn't stop there; he also criticized Chen Meng's remarks after a match, implying that she looked down upon her teammate Wang Manyu. We don't know exactly what was said, but such claims naturally sparked significant controversy. As a result, netizens' opinions on Chen Meng are polarized; some believe she speaks with substance and deserves her title, while others shake their heads, thinking she has gone too far. Chen Meng's performance at the Olympics was indeed remarkable. She not only participated but also defeated strong opponents like Sun Yingsha, securing the championship. Such achievements cannot be easily discredited; her strength is undeniable, silencing all doubts. Let's talk about He Xiaolong again;…
