106-65, Guangdong Hongyuan defeated Jilin Men's Basketball Team with a resounding victory. In this match, due to the outbreak of Huang Rongqi and Bazley, the game was won more easily. Huang Rongqi scored a season-high of 20 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals, while Bazley contributed 18 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, and 3 blocks, greatly reducing the pressure on Xu Jie. However, after the game, Du Feng, head coach of Guangdong Hongyuan, revealed some bad news when summarizing the game. He stated that Hu Mingxuan's shoulder injury is expected to take three months to recover, causing him to miss the national team games during the February window period next year. From the current perspective, Hu Mingxuan will have to wait until the third stage to return. With Hu Mingxuan's early withdrawal from the second stage, Guangdong Hongyuan's local players who can handle the ball are only Xu Jie, Huang Rongqi, Zhang Wenyi, and Yang Yi, but the main responsibility for organizing tasks still falls on Xu Jie. After joining Guangdong Hongyuan, new foreign aid Les has not integrated into the team. He played less than 5 minutes in his debut and only 2 minutes against Jilin Men's Basketball Team. With the increasingly tight rotation in the backcourt, Du Feng needs Les to integrate into the team as soon as possible. So far this season, due to the impact of injuries, Hu Mingxuan has only played 9 games for Guangdong Hongyuan, averaging 31.1 minutes per game, contributing 17.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 1 steal,…

On November 7th, Beijing time, the fifth day of the Snooker International Championship saw the top 8 players from the previous day's matches compete in the quarter-finals, which were played in a best-of-11 format. In one of the most anticipated matches, Chinese player Xiao Guodong advanced to the semi-finals with a decisive 6-4 victory, securing his place among the top four contenders. The International Championship is a major ranking event held in China, second only in prestige to the World Championship and the UK Championship within the WST (World Snooker Tour). The tournament carries significant weight, with a champion's prize of £175,000, a runner-up prize of £75,000, and a total prize pool of £825,000. Additionally, there is a £5,000 bonus for the highest single break. Players can convert their winnings into points that contribute to their world rankings, making this event highly valued by professional players. It has attracted many top players, including the "Three Musketeers" of '75 and the "Five Tigers" of '80, with none of the top 16 ranked players absent. This underscores the high stakes and fierce competition at the event. Following the conclusion of this year's International Championship, the entry lists and seedings for the upcoming Champion of Champions and UK Championship will be determined. Currently, 15 players have been confirmed for the Champion of Champions, with the International Championship set to decide the final spot. Two Chinese players have already qualified: Bai Yulu, the women's world champion, and Xiao Guodong, who recently won the Wuhan Open. Ding Junhui, known as China's number one player, has…

The Western Conference is in chaos as the Denver Nuggets lose to the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors fall to the Los Angeles Clippers, causing a shift in the standings. The Clippers rise to fifth in the West, while the Nuggets drop to seventh and the Warriors plummet out of the play-in tournament area to eleventh place. In contrast, the Lakers are in a favorable position with a 17-13 record, ranking sixth in the West. Their next game is against the Sacramento Kings, who just fired their head coach, and the Lakers have already defeated the Kings three times this season. If the Lakers win this game, they could climb to fifth in the West, indicating that things are looking up for them. Notably, in the latest NBA power rankings, the Lakers have climbed from 17th to 12th in the league. It's no wonder they're being so highly regarded, having won four out of their last five games, including victories over strong teams like the Memphis Grizzlies, the Kings, and the Warriors. They've shed their previous weak state entirely. Some may wonder why the Lakers have suddenly improved so much when their roster hasn't changed and there are no returning injured players. Two reasons are crucial. Firstly, James' state has returned, proving that the Lakers' decision to give him eight days off to recharge was correct. After sufficient rest, James averaged 35 minutes per game in his first five games back, scoring 25.6 points, grabbing 7.2 rebounds, dishing out 8.4 assists, making 1.4 steals, and blocking 0.8 shots,…

A tweet by sports journalist He Xiaolong has caused a stir among fans of the Chinese national table tennis team (Guoping). "I firmly believe that Liu Guoliang has been removed from his position, this is just my personal judgment," he wrote. This short statement has set off a storm within the Guoping fan community. He Xiaolong, known for his sharp writing style, has recently been exposing internal information about Guoping, with undercurrents in his words. He previously mentioned several times how fan culture has eroded Guoping, believing that the silence of the Table Tennis Association is a "leaderless, semi-paralyzed working state," even predicting that "there's an 80% chance of a change in leadership." Now, he directly names Liu Guoliang, undoubtedly pushing this turmoil to its peak. Looking back at the women's singles final at the 2024 Paris Olympics between Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha, it remains a sore point for many fans. On the court, what should have been pure competitive opposition was overshadowed by the excessive behavior of some extreme fans. The boos and middle fingers from Sun Yingsha's fans, the fierce counterattacks from Chen Meng's fans, changed the flavor of this pinnacle match. After the Olympics, public security organs punished multiple online rumor mongers, but the influence of fan culture spread like wildfire, difficult to extinguish. Subsequent Ping Pong Super League events exposed this chaos even more blatantly. Fan Zhendong was slapped in the face by crazy fans, Wang Chuqin's fans insulted Fan Zhendong, Fan Zhendong's fans abused Ma Long, Sun Yingsha was reported... A series of incidents…

On the night of December 28th, a CBA regular season game concluded with Beijing Men's Basketball Team securing a victory over Nanjing Team at home with a score of 110-109. The team was filled with joy after the win. However, one individual who did not participate in the match due to rest became the focus of media attention during the post-game interview. This person was Zhou Qi, a senior figure in the locker room. Despite being exempt from playing and having unlimited rest rights as the center for Beijing Men's Basketball Team, Zhou Qi appeared in the team's locker room after the game. Looking slightly thinner and still in the process of recovery, Zhou Qi became the main subject of the interview. He stated, "This illness has been quite severe. Although I am no longer feverish, I still need some time to recover." Recently, Zhou Qi has missed five consecutive games due to influenza. Adding to this, he had previously sat out for an extended period at the beginning of the season due to a foot injury. As a result, Zhou Qi has only played in seven regular-season games for Beijing Men's Basketball Team this season. In his average 24.6 minutes on the court, he contributes 12.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 2 blocks per game. Zhou Qi's situation is severe, but so is Xiao Long's. Xiao Long, also known as Wells, was severely underestimated! On December 28th, during the late-night battle where Liaoning defeated Xinjiang 115-89 at home, Wells scored 50 points, 2 rebounds, and 6 assists with 17 out…

Du Feng revealed that there have been changes in the situation of the small foreign aid. The arrival of Bazley has brought unexpected good results, while Reese may face the situation of being returned. It was originally thought that everything would go according to plan, but it turned out that there were such changes. Bazley's performance is eye-catching, while Reese's situation seems a bit embarrassing in comparison. In fact, Bazley did not disappoint many fans. He returned to the team just one day ago and had not yet adjusted to the time difference when he took the field against Ningbo and showed a higher competitive level than the first stage! Moreover, in Du Feng's eyes, the coexistence issue between him and Morand seemed to have already been addressed! In the latter half of the first quarter, Jilunwater was replaced by Bazley, who appeared on the court with Morand, along with three local players Xu Jie, Zhang Wenyi, and Zhang Haojia. Obviously, Bazley was playing the No. 4 position at this time, and his opponent was Chang Lin. Perhaps Ningbo's arrangement for Bazley before the game was to let him break through and limit his shooting, but Bazley shot a three-pointer from a step outside the three-point line! In the next round, Ningbo found a good opportunity for a three-pointer at the corner. However, Bazley made a sudden lateral move and sent a clean block. To be honest, if any other player in the team had defended, this ball would never have been blocked, at most just to interfere! In the…

The flames of the United Cup continue to burn as the second match between Team China and the reigning champions, Germany, is about to take place. The lineups for both teams have been announced, making this match one that is sure to attract significant attention. For Team China, the first men's singles will see Zhang Zhizhen face off against German star Zverev. In this encounter with Zverev, Zhang Zhizhen is sure to give it his all. In women's singles, Gao Xinyu will take on Siegemund. In mixed doubles, Gao Xinyu will compete in two matches, partnering with Bai Yan to challenge Zverev/Siegemund. It's worth noting that mixed doubles allows for last-minute substitutions, adding an element of unpredictability to the competition. Gao Xinyu, carrying the double-match responsibility in this event, is expected to meet the challenges with her excellent physical condition and refined skills. In the previously concluded first round of matches, Team China achieved a 3-0 victory over Brazil. Among the highlights, Gao Xinyu made a remarkable comeback against Brazilian top player Maya with scores of 5-7, 6-4, 7-5. Zhang Zhizhen secured a decisive win over Monteiro with scores of 6-3, 6-0, and Zhang Zhizhen/Zhang Shuai defeated Matos/Alves with scores of 6-4, 7-5. In another recently concluded match, the defending champion German team demonstrated their formidable strength by securing a 2-0 victory over Brazil, locking in their win early. Zverev defeated Monteiro with scores of 6-4, 6-4, while Siegemund fought for 2 hours and 33 minutes to claim victory over Maya with scores of 6-3, 1-6, 6-4. In this upcoming…

Naomi Osaka, a four-time Grand Slam champion, has expressed her deep love for tennis and her excitement for the upcoming season. The 27-year-old Japanese player firmly believes she can return to her former glory. Since welcoming her daughter Shai last July, Osaka returned to the court in January 2024 but has struggled with inconsistent performance since then. Her best result on the court has been reaching the semi-finals twice, which she described as a painful experience. Ahead of the Auckland Classic, Osaka shared her journey, saying, "The experiences of 2024 have humbled me, but I've also grown a lot." The player, who won the Australian Open in 2019 and 2021, is using the Auckland tournament as a stepping stone to the Australian Open. "I've put in unprecedented effort, and although the results were disappointing, I truly felt growth and learning," she said. Osaka's season was hit by injuries in October, and her collaboration with renowned coach Mouratoglou lasted only one match. Now ranked 58th in the world, she remains optimistic about the future and emphasizes her burning desire for success. "What drives me to continue playing tennis is the opportunity to learn something new every time I step onto the court," she admitted. "I'm very competitive; I enjoy winning matches and competing against the best players in the world to see what I can achieve." When asked if she still has the motivation to return to the top ranks, Osaka responded without hesitation, "Of course." Recently, her commitment and passion for the future were once questioned. "A year or two…

Shanxi Men's Basketball Team has won two consecutive victories against Shenzhen Men's Basketball Team and Zhejiang Guangsha, with both games fiercely contested until the final moments. The key contributor to these victories is undoubtedly the superstar foreign player Diawara. In the game against Shenzhen, it was Diawara who played heroically in the final quarter and overtime, leading the team to victory. In the match against Zhejiang Guangsha, Diawara once again displayed his superstar-level performance, helping the team secure a win with a crucial layup that almost sealed the deal. With the absence of the team's top scorer Goodwin, Diawara has consistently delivered performances befitting an elite player in the league, showcasing Li Chunjiang's keen eye for talent. In the match against Zhejiang Guangsha, Shanxi Men's Basketball Team managed to turn the tide in the final quarter after trailing earlier in the game. They secured victory by capitalizing on crucial offensive rebounds in the fourth quarter. In this game, Diawara played for 41 minutes, scoring 46 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists, and 1 block, with 18 out of 31 field goals, 2 out of 5 three-pointers, and a perfect 8 out of 8 free throws.

Since joining Shanxi Men's Basketball Team this season, Diawara's initial performance was average, impressing fans with his explosive athleticism and strong ball-handling ability. However, as the…

Borrowing Money to Buy a Land Rover?‌ Isn't this one of the highlights of Liu Dingshuo's live broadcast? That night, Liu Dingshuo faced various questions from netizens, almost losing control of his emotions, making it seem like he had just fought a tough battle over a car. In theory, buying a car shouldn't be a big deal, but some issues are not that simple, especially when people scrutinize a public figure's life with a magnifying glass. Even something as trivial as buying a car can stir up a minor controversy. This time, Liu Dingshuo's response is not just about a small matter. In the live broadcast room, he was asked by netizens if he borrowed money to buy a Land Rover. Initially, he responded quite casually: Of course, I did. But as more and more skeptical voices followed, questioning why he would borrow money to buy a car and even asking if he was borrowing money, these words accumulated like a snowball, making Liu Dingshuo increasingly impatient and gradually more agitated. He directly retorted: Friends can lend me money, but they may not lend it to you! Look at that, those words really sparked a lot of fireworks among netizens. Liu Dingshuo's response is not just a simple rebuttal. He explained in detail that he indeed paid in full for the Land Rover and did not borrow any money. As for those who maliciously edited his statements, he also refuted them without holding back. It makes one wonder, why can a car make someone so agitated? You see, Liu Dingshuo…
