He also became the first grand slam winner for the Chinese table tennis team. After retiring and becoming a coach, Liu Guoliang also achieved remarkable success. Players like Ma Long, Zhang Jike, Li Xiaoxia, and Ding Ning all achieved great results under his guidance! Even after becoming the chairman of the Table Tennis Association, Chen Meng and Fan Zhendong, among others, have also received guidance from Liu Guoliang. Honestly, in terms of achievements and contributions, Liu Guoliang has already accumulated numerous honors! So why does the famous reporter He Xiaolong say that Liu Guoliang has been fired? Don't worry, please continue reading! We all know that over the past six months, fan culture within the Chinese table tennis team has become increasingly severe!

In the midst of Shanghai Port's celebration of their "double championship," the team experienced an unexpected turn of events. During the Christmas period, the club announced the departure of two key foreign players, dealing a significant blow to fans who were still reveling in the joy of victory. Firstly, Brazilian player Oscar, who had served the team for eight years, announced his departure. As the captain and core player of the team, Oscar made significant contributions during his time with Shanghai Port. He not only demonstrated exceptional skills and leadership on the field but also expressed deep affection for the city of Shanghai on multiple occasions. However, when Brazilian club Sao Paulo FC extended an invitation, the Brazilian star chose to return to his homeland. Although this decision was seen as expected by many, it still came as a shock and with reluctance to the fans when it happened. Following Oscar's announcement, the team also declared the departure of another important foreign player, Bargas. Unlike Oscar's situation, Bargas' future destination remains uncertain, but the team's decision to release the departure notice early added to the fans' concerns. The consecutive departures of these "big and small kings" dealt a severe blow to the team's strength within a short week. The core reason behind these changes is the salary cap policy implemented by the Chinese Football Association. The new policy stipulates that the annual salary of foreign players cannot exceed 3 million euros, and the total annual salary of foreign players per team must not exceed 10 million euros. This policy directly…

The second stage of the 2024 Ping Pong Super League is about to officially kick off. World No. 1 Wang Chuqin will lead his team to launch an attack on the league championship! Fans are also looking forward to Wang Chuqin ending his annual campaign with a championship. Wang Chuqin is currently very popular. On a certain platform's best athlete voting, Wang Chuqin has received more than ten million votes, far ahead of the second place. Another former Olympic champion, Zhang Jike, is also very popular at the moment. Recently, Zhang Jike once again commented on Wang Chuqin, and the two "hot people" have become even hotter together! Zhang Jike's latest comments on Wang Chuqin have also topped the hot search list. This is the second time Zhang Jike has commented on Wang Chuqin since the Olympics. However, the two comments are completely opposite! When Wang Chuqin lost in the first round of singles at the Olympics to Moregad, Zhang Jike commented: "World No. 1 is in the top 32, right? The top seed!" It is clear that Zhang Jike had some criticism towards Wang Chuqin. However, in his latest comments on Wang Chuqin, Zhang Jike expressed: "Wang Chuqin has it tough, he lost in singles but didn't lose a single match in mixed doubles and team events, not just anyone can do that." Zhang Jike's two comments are completely opposite, criticizing at first and then supporting. We don't know what Zhang Jike's purpose is! Moreover, Zhang Jike later used himself and Wang Hao as examples! Because both Wang Hao…

In the CBA league's 2024-2025 season, the implementation of the four-quarter seven-foreign aid usage policy has caused chaos in the league standings. Even strong teams like Liaoning Bensteel, Guangdong Hongyuan, Beijing Beiqi, and Xinjiang Yili have not dared to say that they will definitely win the CBA championship this season. It should be noted that in the past three seasons, under the coaching of head coach Yang Ming, Liaoning Team seized the opportunity of Guangdong Team's weak front line, Zhejiang Guangsha Team's empty interior, and Xinjiang Team's lackluster backcourt, winning the team's historic three consecutive championships and creating the grand cause of Liaoning Team's dynasty. However, just as Liaoning Team was striving for a new season towards its fourth consecutive championship, due to the unexpected injuries of core players such as Zhao Jiwei and Zhang Zhenlin, coupled with the failure to find a suitable foreign aid for the team's tactical system, the team's performance fell into a trough. At the worst time, they successively lost to Shanxi Team, Jilin Team, and Beijing Team, suffering three consecutive defeats. Although tonight, with Wells scoring 50 points, Liaoning Team ended Xinjiang Team's four-game winning streak and also helped the team win a tough victory that was beneficial to the ranking of the standings, the harsh reality is that Liaoning Team is about to face a devilish schedule against Guangdong Team, Beijing Team, and Zhejiang Guangsha Team. It is difficult to imagine how much physical energy Liaoning Team can still consume after fighting Xinjiang Team? In this regard, the prophecy that Liaoning Team is…

The recent announcement of the Singapore Grand Slam list has caused quite a stir! Notably absent from the men's table tennis roster is Fan Zhendong, the reigning Olympic singles champion and Super Grand Slam winner. This decision comes as a surprise, especially considering Fan Zhendong's consistent performance following his victory at the Paris Olympics. Whether it be the national championships or the China Table Tennis Super League (CTTSL), his form has been impeccable, with an undefeated record in the CTTSL that earned him the nickname "Steady as a Mountain." The absence of Fan Zhendong from such an important event raises questions about whether he has been sidelined or if there are other reasons at play. There are rumors of significant internal debate within the national team regarding Fan Zhendong's return. Some coaches believe that his presence might limit opportunities for younger players, while others argue that without him, the team's overall competitiveness could suffer. Liu Guoliang, caught in the middle, faces a difficult decision. Some speculate that the decision to exclude Fan Zhendong may be related to his personal development considerations, not wanting to be entirely controlled by the national team's arrangements. This revelation sparked intense online discussion, with opinions divided between those who view it as a betrayal and those who support the right to pursue one's dreams. Despite the controversy, many fans express disappointment at Fan Zhendong's omission from the list. The focus on training newcomers seems to be overshadowed by the inclusion of more experienced players like Wang Chuqin, Lin Shidong, Lin Gaoyuan, Liang Jingkun, and Zhou…

On December 29th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued with the New York Knicks visiting the Washington Wizards. The Knicks, ranked third in the Eastern Conference and currently on a six-game winning streak, faced off against the Wizards, who are comfortably at the bottom of the East with little to lose or gain from this game. The Wizards started strong at home, taking a 16-7 lead, but the Knicks quickly caught up and by halftime, the score was tied at 60. In the second half, both teams engaged in an offensive battle, with the Wizards going on a 15-2 run in the third and fourth quarters to build an 11-point lead. However, the Knicks managed to close the gap thanks to the outstanding performances of Brunson and Towns. In overtime, Brunson took control of the game, and the Knicks secured their victory with solid free throws, ultimately winning 136-132. The Wizards, aiming for the Flag Cup, focused on offense over defense, relying heavily on their shooting performance. They matched the Knicks' intensity with a barrage of three-pointers, making 17 shots at a 44.7% rate. In contrast, the Knicks struggled from beyond the arc, making only 10 out of 40 attempts at a 25% rate. Despite this, the Knicks turned the tide with their inside scoring and transition points off turnovers. Throughout the game, they dominated the paint with a 78-60 advantage in points and outscored the Wizards 26-18 on points off turnovers. The Knicks' comeback from an 11-point deficit to an overtime victory was largely due to the combined…

Recently, the most focused event in the world table tennis arena is naturally the announcement by Paris Olympics men's singles and women's singles champions Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng to withdraw from the world rankings. Now, with the public response from the World Table Tennis Federation (WTT) and Fan Zhendong, the incident has further escalated. Interestingly, the WTT and Fan Zhendong have different opinions. It seems that one side is not reasonable, but judging from the attitude of the fans, the majority are supporting Fan Zhendong. Just a few days ago, Olympic champion Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng suddenly announced publicly at different times on the same day that they would withdraw from the world rankings. This immediately became a hot search topic, attracting attention and discussion. In his statement, Fan Zhendong said, "Recently, WTT introduced a new rule that fines players for not participating in events. I am unable to bear it but still respect the international organization, so I can only choose to withdraw from the world rankings for now. According to the requirements of the International Table Tennis Federation and the Chinese Table Tennis Association, I have submitted a report this week." Shortly after Fan Zhendong made his public announcement, Chen Meng also issued a public statement: "Recently, WTT introduced a new rule that fines players for withdrawing from events. Due to my current physical condition, I cannot withstand the intensity of each high-level event. Out of respect for the international organization, I signed the documents on Monday and ultimately decided to withdraw from the world rankings."…

Cheng Fei's name is a legend in the world of Chinese gymnastics, closely associated with the challenging "Cheng Fei Jump," which has become a symbol of Chinese gymnastics. Surprisingly, this little giant who once displayed astonishing explosive power on the balance beam and vault has undergone a dramatic transformation after retirement, akin to a metamorphosis. When she reappeared in the public eye, it was hard to recognize her. What exactly has she experienced during this time, and how is she now? Cheng Fei's Career Despite her small stature, Cheng Fei possessed immense energy. As a core member of the Chinese women's gymnastics team, she achieved remarkable success in the vault event, winning three consecutive championships, etching her name into the annals of Chinese gymnastics. Not only was she a technical expert in the team, but she also inspired others with her tenacity and determination, encouraging her teammates not to give up and to fight together for the nation's honor. However, competitive sports can be brutal, capable of creating heroes or crushing dreams. Just before the 2012 London Olympics, Cheng Fei was in a critical stage of preparation, eager to prove herself on the Olympic stage and win glory for her country. But then, during a routine training session, an accident occurred. A misstep caused Cheng Fei to fall heavily to the ground, leaving her immobile from the intense pain. The scene was tense as coaches and teammates anxiously watched over her. Soon, the team doctor arrived and confirmed that Cheng Fei had suffered a severe Achilles tendon injury, effectively shattering…

Fan Zhendong withdraws from world rankings, suspected reasons exposed, ultimately unable to avoid it. Netizens hotly debated and pointed out incisively and vividly that the Chinese table tennis team always gives the opportunity to compete to the first few newcomers they are promoting, while veterans like Xiaopang (Fan Zhendong) and Chen Meng, who are Olympic champions with commercial value, rest and recuperate. As a result, the newcomers' rankings are artificially inflated, but this does not benefit the healthy development of events and harms the commercial economic development of WTT, so they started to impose fines. From the Busan World Table Tennis Team Championships against South Korea, where he single-handedly scored two points, to the Paris Olympics where he guarded the entire zone alone, it was all thanks to Xiaopang's efforts that saved the glory of the national table tennis team. Undoubtedly, this year's best should be Xiaopang. So what can be done? Either force participation, but you cannot disobey orders or play passively, so it's better to just quit. After all, if you're not allowed to play, it saves you from being fined. It is obvious that this is targeting the Chinese team's recent widespread withdrawals from competitions. Not participating in competitions and giving other countries opportunities is not enough; it seems that table tennis players will have a hard time surviving if this continues. There will definitely be more withdrawals in the future, not just Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng. Such a great top athlete has been forced to reluctantly withdraw from the rankings. He must truly love the…

In recent years, the transfer market in Chinese football has attracted significant attention, with the return of some veterans sparking enthusiastic discussions among fans. Recently, 35-year-old Beira announced his desire to return to the field and received invitations from many clubs, with the offer from Beijing Guoan particularly appealing to him. As a renowned player who spent three years with Guoan, Beira is not only very familiar with the Chinese Super League (CSL) environment but also shares a deep mentor-disciple relationship with Guoan's head coach, Setien. Beira's career began in Spain, where his performances at Las Palmas made him a star player in La Liga. On the La Liga stage, he helped Las Palmas maintain a mid-table position with his excellent skills and stable play, earning a call-up to the Spanish national team. In 2018, at the peak of his career, Beira chose to transfer to Beijing Guoan in the CSL for a transfer fee of 11 million euros, quickly gaining fame in the domestic football circle. During his three years at Beijing Guoan, Beira's performance was remarkable, with 88 appearances, 30 goals, and 30 assists, making him a core player in the team's attacking line. His time with Guoan allowed him to deeply integrate into the CSL atmosphere and build a strong bond with the club's fans. However, as time went on, Beira decided to leave Guoan in the summer of 2021 and return to Las Palmas in La Liga. Despite his brief stint with Al-Fujairah in the UAE and his current free-agent status, Beira once again yearns to…
