The game between Beijing Shougang and Tianjin team was truly an astonishing script that left everyone in disbelief. How should I put it? If you say this is a basketball game, some might think: isn't this too outrageous? To put it nicely, the game was a crushing defeat; to put it bluntly, it was like a real-life version of "Suicide Squad" - especially when Shougang's five small lineup seemed to be giving points to Tianjin. And this decision was both infuriating and amusing. Coach Xu Limin is truly a genius - with his unique approach, he created a massive collapse, causing people to marvel at this bizarre operation. The result of the game was that Beijing Shougang lost to Tianjin by a score of 80-93, a difference of a full 13 points. You could say that these 13 points were like a deep wound, cutting across the hearts of all Shougang fans. This was the lowest-scoring game for Beijing this season, with their three-point shooting performance being particularly dismal. Out of 31 three-point attempts, they only managed to make 6, an offensive efficiency so poor that they could apply for a certification as an "offensive rhythm master." If it weren't for Tianjin's strong defense, the score difference might have been even greater. But to be honest, Tianjin's performance today did indeed completely dismantle Beijing's offense. Especially with Gao Shi'ao's return, it was like adding a steel shield to Tianjin's interior defense, leaving Beijing's offense completely clueless. What's most baffling is that - in this game, Beijing clearly had three foreign…

As we approach the end of 2024, the NBA trade deadline is drawing near. Many teams in the league are looking to enhance their competitiveness through trades before the deadline. The Los Angeles Lakers, a team under close scrutiny, are among those seeking improvements. The Lakers' performance this season has been characterized by an initial strong start followed by a series of losses, revealing various weaknesses within the team. The Lakers' primary trade target is undoubtedly the center position. They have been attempting to trade for the Wizards' center, Valanciunas, which has become one of the most anticipated trades for Lakers fans this season. Additionally, the Lakers have been pursuing some wing forwards to provide outside firepower support for James and Davis. For instance, the Lakers have shown interest in players like Cameron Johnson and Finney-Smith from the Nets. The specifics of how the Lakers will acquire these players will depend on the progress of subsequent negotiations. However, enthusiastic American media outlets occasionally propose trade simulation schemes to offer suggestions and strategies to the Lakers. The feasibility of these proposals is subjective. Recently, American media has once again presented a simulated trade scheme for the Lakers, suggesting that they can obtain Finney-Smith from the Nets. The proposed trade scheme is as follows: Lakers receive: Dorian Finney-Smith; Nets receive: Jared Vanderbilt, Jalen Hood-Sefino, Christian Wood, a 2025 second-round pick (from the Clippers), and a 2025 second-round pick (from the Lakers). If such a trade were to materialize, it would be beneficial for the Lakers. In the proposed scheme, the three players…

On December 29th, Beijing time, the Mavericks played their second back-to-back game without Luka Doncic, who continued to be absent and will be re-evaluated in a month. The Blazers once led by as many as 21 points, but Kyrie Irving refused to give up and went on a furious scoring spree in the second half. In the final quarter, Irving scored 20 points, unwilling to concede defeat, but unfortunately, the comeback attempt fell short, resulting in a regrettable 122-126 loss. American media wrote: "Kyrie, say help me again!" Due to it being the second game of a back-to-back, the entire team was somewhat fatigued, having just flown from Phoenix to Portland. It seemed that only Irving had his energy levels intact. In the first quarter, Irving shot 6 for 4 with 1 three-pointer made, scoring 9 points. He took advantage of a screen and immediately launched a shot, while the Mavericks as a team scored only 25 points in the first quarter, with their defense collapsing, allowing the Blazers to score 36 points. It was an all-out offensive battle. Sharpe scored 16 points in the first half, Simmons had 10, Grant had 6, Ayton had 14 points and 7 rebounds, Avdija had 11, and Henderson had 12. By halftime, five Blazers players had already scored in double figures. Irving single-handedly challenged the entire Blazers team, shooting 9 for 5 with 1 three-pointer made, scoring 15 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, and 1 block in a single quarter. By halftime, Irving had already accumulated 24 points. In the third quarter, Irving…

In the 12th round of the Premier League, Manchester City suffered a crushing 0-4 defeat at home to Tottenham, leaving fans still in disbelief after the match. This game saw Manchester City plunge into an abyss while Tottenham delivered a stark contrast, leaving their opponents with hardly any breathing room. From the outset, Tottenham displayed formidable attacking power. In the 7th minute, Maddison's quick reactions in the penalty area led to a brace, quickly securing a 2-0 lead for Tottenham. The mood among Manchester City fans plummeted accordingly. If Ederson's first-half heroics had offered them a glimmer of hope, the second half's onslaught extinguished all illusions. With Tottenham's Poro scoring again in the second half, the scoreline read 3-0. Manchester City found themselves with few counterattacking opportunities, their offense lacking structure and even basic coordination seemed feeble. By the 93rd minute, Johnson's goal sealed the deal, leaving no doubt about the outcome, as Manchester City's 0-4 defeat became a post-match talking point. Currently, Manchester City's state is concerning, having suffered five consecutive defeats across competitions, creating an atmosphere so oppressive it's almost suffocating. Despite this, they remain second in the standings, though Liverpool's lead has widened to 5 points due to playing one more game. Chelsea and Arsenal have climbed to third and fourth respectively, trailing Manchester City by just 1 point, hot on their heels. Brighton and Tottenham's performances are also noteworthy, gradually closing in on the top four, creating a chaotic battle. In another match of the same round, Villa faced Crystal Palace at home, ending in a…

Barcelona's La Masia youth academy is renowned worldwide for consistently producing outstanding young players, with the likes of Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, and Ansu Fati being the pride of the club. Due to the abundance of young talent at Barcelona and the intense competition within the team, the club often has to let go of some players, who then go on to prove themselves elsewhere, such as Olmo and Harvey Simons. Now, another former Barcelona player has stepped up to show his worth. Barcelona took a significant loss by releasing a top midfielder for just 8.4 million euros: scoring 6 goals and providing 5 assists in 25 games, becoming the core of his new team's championship bid. In the early hours of December 29th, during the 16th round of the Portuguese League, Porto faced Boavista at home, winning 4-0 in a comfortable victory. Two young players who left Barcelona and Atletico Madrid played a decisive role in the game's outcome. Among them, Nico Gonzalez scored one goal and provided one assist, earning the highest rating of 8.4 for the match, while Omoregbe scored twice, earning an 8.2 rating, just behind Gonzalez. Additionally, Porto's 17-year-old youngster Mora contributed with one pass and one shot. Gonzalez is a product of Barcelona's youth system but did not receive many opportunities at the club. He was once loaned to Valencia by Barcelona and officially left the club last summer to join Porto. After arriving at Porto, Gonzalez received significant playing time and became the backbone of Porto's midfield this season. So far this season, Gonzalez…

Real Madrid has experienced a dip in performance this season, currently ranking second in La Liga and 20th in the UEFA Champions League. Despite this, the team has shown signs of recovery with recent results of four wins and one draw. Fans are eagerly anticipating the club's actions during the winter transfer window to bolster the squad's strength. It now appears that Real Madrid's "first signing" has been revealed. Congratulations to Real Madrid! The "first winter signing" has been announced, with a top-class defender coming to the rescue, alleviating Coach Ancelotti's urgent need. On December 29th, Spanish media outlet Marca reported that David Alaba, who has been out for an extended period due to injury, is expected to rejoin team training on the 30th of this month. Alaba's return date will be determined by his own recovery progress. It is understood that Alaba has fully recovered from his injury. Alaba suffered a knee anterior cruciate ligament injury last December and has been absent from the team for over a year without playing for Real Madrid. Even without Alaba, Real Madrid has demonstrated its formidable strength, winning five titles this year, excluding the Copa del Rey. Now, as Alaba gradually recovers from his injury and is close to returning, his comeback is indeed akin to a significant new signing for Real Madrid. The new year is approaching, and Real Madrid has at least seven matches scheduled for January 2025. If they reach the final of the Spanish Super Cup, they will play eight matches. Their second match in January is against…

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has announced a permanent ban on the Swedish female journalist who collided with Wang Chuqin, a decision that has been widely welcomed by sports enthusiasts. This incident, which occurred during the 2023 international table tennis competition, has finally reached a satisfying conclusion. The incident began after a match when Wang Chuqin was preparing for an interview. Unexpectedly, a Swedish female journalist suddenly rushed towards him, causing a collision that nearly resulted in our world champion falling to the ground. Fortunately, Wang Chuqin reacted quickly and skillfully dodged the unexpected attack. This behavior of the female journalist is not a romantic comedy but a serious issue of professional ethics. The incident sparked intense online discussions, with some suggesting it was intentional, while others believed it was merely an accident without malice. A netizen expressed their opinion, stating that the journalist's actions were challenging the bottom line of sportsmanship. As a professional journalist, she should respect athletes and follow interview protocols. Instead, she acted recklessly, almost knocking down our world champion. This is not interviewing but causing trouble! It seems she wanted to attract attention and become famous at any cost. Such irresponsible behavior not only harms the media's image but also tarnishes the reputation of other hardworking journalists. The IOC's decisive action is commendable. The female journalist's behavior was truly outrageous. Why run so fast if you're here to interview and not participate in a car race? Do you fear Wang Chuqin will fly away? Or do you think you're filming an episode of a journalist…

The second battle between Liaoning and Xinjiang ended with a bang, as the weakened Liaoning team ultimately defeated Xinjiang by a 26-point margin, achieving a satisfying revenge victory. In this match, Liu Wei was convinced of their defeat and stated after the game that Liaoning had given them a lesson, and he would send a message to Yang Ming to inquire about how they managed to overcome them with a weakened lineup. However, Liu Wei might have been being polite, as he was well aware of how Xinjiang lost the game. Ultimately, it was because Liaoning used a shorter rotation and displayed a more aggressive offensive and defensive performance. Despite only being able to register 11 players, Liu Wei rotated more players than Yang Ming in the first three quarters, but no matter how he deployed his troops, he could not reverse the unfavorable situation on the court. This was mainly due to the three foreign players lagging in scoring output, especially Peterson, who, along with Xierzati, who performed well in the previous two games against Beikong and Shanxi, also scored low in this game, failing to provide continuous firepower for Xinjiang's perimeter. Overall, Xinjiang also lost to themselves, as they did not adjust their mentality well and did not anticipate that Liaoning was coming to fight to the death. In the first three quarters, Liaoning's six main players were on the court, and five of them played to their expected level, with two performing above expectations. These two were Wells, who scored 50 points, and Wang Lanqin, who scored…

Below, let's review the results of this round and the subsequent points ranking situation. First, let's look at the focus match of this round, the game between Liaoning and Xinjiang teams. In this game, Liaoning took advantage of their home court and unleashed a full offensive in the first quarter.

Liaoning led 33-21 over Xinjiang by 12 points at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, both sides played evenly, with Liaoning once establishing a 20-point lead.
