Perhaps no one could have anticipated that the Shanghai men's basketball team, which only managed to secure one victory in the first stage, would embark on a "Northern Expedition" in the second stage. After their recent home victory against Beikong, they have now achieved an impressive ten consecutive wins. This remarkable turnaround has not only improved their record but also revitalized the local basketball market. The success can be attributed not only to the appointment of Lu Wei but also to the significant impact of Lofton's addition to the team. After parting ways with Waters in the first stage, Shanghai had initially secured Lofton and Graham, two former NBA players, as their foreign signings. However, Graham's failure to honor his commitment forced Shanghai to re-sign their familiar face, Blood. Lofton, who was a formidable force in the NBA G League, quickly adapted to the CBA's style of play. He is not only adept at scoring and rebounding but also excels at using his passing skills to orchestrate the team's offense, a truly valuable asset. To date, Lofton averages an impressive 22.8 points, 12.6 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.6 steals, and 1.1 blocks per game, earning him the nickname "CBA Jokic." At just 22 years old, if Lofton does not wish to return to the NBA in the short term, Shanghai is undoubtedly keen to sign him to a long-term contract. However, considering that next year's CBA league will be postponed to accommodate the National Games, with the season not starting until December, it is challenging to ensure that Lofton will not…

In an NBA regular season game, the Rockets suffered a surprising 112-113 reversal at the hands of the Timberwolves. The Rockets were leading by a significant margin in the final moments of the game, but the Timberwolves staged an incredible comeback with a 15-2 run that no one could have anticipated. Following the match, the Rockets faced four pieces of bad news. The first major mistake was attributed to Udoka. In the crucial moments of the game, his handling was deemed poor. He did not call a timeout when the opponent was on a scoring streak. Throughout the season so far, Udoka's decisions regarding player rotations and timeouts during decisive periods have been questionable. A timely timeout could have disrupted the Timberwolves' rhythm, but he chose not to do so. Additionally, he persisted in using players who were clearly unsuited for the fourth quarter, which was another significant error. During this time, VanVleet and Green also contributed to the defeat. Green, in particular, made a series of inexplicable moves and turnovers, which significantly altered the momentum on the court. Despite Green's continuous misses throughout the game, Udoka continued to trust him. VanVleet, who scored zero points in the final quarter, also made some rash shots in the closing moments, giving the opponent multiple opportunities to close the gap. These two players have consistently been a hidden trouble, and it might be better to bring in Tate and Holiday, who are more reliable options. After a recent outburst, Whitmore's performance also collapsed. He had just completed a major breakout the day…

Translation of the article content into English: The significance of records is to be broken, and this applies equally in the NBA. When Kareem Abdul-Jabbar retired in 1989, his career total score was set at 38,387 points, and for the next few decades, the media and fans were unanimous in believing that this record would be permanently sealed. However, two years ago, LeBron James surpassed it, and now he has even refreshed the historical total scoring record to 41,000 points. However, there are some records in the long history of the NBA that are almost impossible to break due to factors such as the era and rules, like towering mountains that cannot be surpassed. So let's take a look at them together. LeBron James' "411" With the development of modern basketball, future players' statistics will inevitably become more explosive, so James' 40,000-point record is not impossible to break. However, James' "411" record will undoubtedly be recorded in history and become one of the hardest records to break in the NBA. It should be noted that even if the difficulty is reduced to 30,000 points + 10,000 rebounds + 10,000 assists, no one has been able to achieve this in history, which requires extremely high personal ability, career length, and state stability. Michael Jordan's Ten Scoring Titles As the universally recognized greatest player in history, Jordan created countless records that later generations found difficult to match, but the hardest to break is undoubtedly 10 scoring titles. Even top scorers in history like Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Allen Iverson…

The Clippers defeated the Warriors 102-92 at home, securing their second consecutive win and achieving a triple kill against the Warriors this season. With an 18-13 record, they are now fifth in the Western Conference. The Clippers have been on a roll recently, defeating strong teams like the Grizzlies and the Warriors. The Warriors were smart not to play Curry and Draymond Green as they might not have been able to win against the Clippers anyway. After all, the Clippers had already double-killed the Warriors before this game, winning with or without Curry. Therefore, the Warriors might as well conserve their strength for a full-strength matchup against the Suns, especially at home against Durant. The Suns are in poor form today, losing to the Mavericks without Doncic, and Coach Kerr made a wise decision. Additionally, the Warriors almost pulled off a surprise win, reducing a 21-point deficit to just 3 points in the final quarter. Fortunately, Harden, Powell, and Zubac stepped up. Zubac scored 2 points under the basket, Powell redeemed himself with a three-pointer, and finally, Harden hit a crucial 2-pointer to extend the lead from one point to five. In the last two minutes, the difference between Harden and VanVleet was evident. Today, the Rockets led the Timberwolves by 16 points but were ultimately overturned due to VanVleet's choices in the final moments, attempting various long-range threes without success. VanVleet missed three consecutive three-pointers from outside the arc, allowing the Timberwolves to seize the momentum and secure the victory. On the other hand, when the Warriors closed the…

Coming Back Soon! CBA National-Level Forward Recovers from Injury to Aid Xinjiang Men's Basketball in Championship Pursuit Xinjiang Men's Basketball has been plagued by injuries, possibly the most severe among all teams! Players such as Zhu Xuhang, Zhao Rui, Wu Guanxi, Abudu Salamu, and Li Yanzhe have all suffered varying degrees of injuries. Despite this, the coaching of "rookie" coach Liu Wei has been quite satisfactory. It is remarkable that Xinjiang has managed to perform so well under such difficult circumstances! There is now some good news: national-level forward Zhu Xuhang is close to making a comeback! It is understood that Zhu Xuhang has resumed normal contact training and is expected to return soon. Xinjiang Men's Basketball has made four very important signings: Zhu Xuhang, Wu Guanxi, Zhao Rui, and Li Yanzhe. The Guanghui Club spent a significant amount to acquire these four players. Among them, Zhu Xuhang, Wu Guanxi, and Zhao Rui have had more injuries, which has been a headache for the management. Zhu Xuhang suffered a tibial fracture in February this year and has been out for almost a year, but he is finally ready to return. Last season, Zhu averaged 9.1 points and 3.6 rebounds, serving as an important scoring threat from the perimeter. With his tough playing style and fierce defense, as well as his ability to space the floor with three-point shooting, Zhu's return will make Xinjiang even stronger. As long as Xinjiang Men's Basketball stays healthy, they have a chance at the championship. This season, Xinjiang has found very suitable foreign players in…

At 2:00 PM, Yang Ming responded to Liu Wei, Patton landed in Hong Kong! Anshan Paul and Dunk King first exposed the inside story! At 2:00 PM Beijing time on December 28th, Liaoning basketball team's head coach Yang Ming accepted an interview after leading his team through their last training session before facing Xinjiang. Yang Ming first responded to Xinjiang's head coach Liu Wei's statement that "opportunities and challenges coexist," saying that Liaoning will treat the second match against Xinjiang as a playoff game. In other words, Liaoning must strive for victory. Yang Ming also discussed the difficulties currently faced by the team due to the absence of Anshan Paul Zhao Jiwei and Dunk King Zhang Zhenlin, as well as Tu Lei's poor form. Yang Ming decided to continue benching Tu Lei and plans to give about 10 minutes of playing time to young player Zhang Chen Zhi Feng. Xinjiang, despite not having two key domestic players Zhao Rui and Qi Lin, boasts a strong frontcourt with versatile and efficient Lawson, and the visible improvement in skills of Xiao Han Dejun Li Yan Zhe. Therefore, Liaoning faces significant pressure in the paint. Moreover, Xinjiang has a three-foreigner lineup, while Liaoning can only use two small foreigners after dropping Tu Lei, making their lineup somewhat unbalanced. However, Liaoning can focus on the perimeter, using shooters to solve problems with shooting. As long as Liaoning has at least two accurate outside shooters, they will have offensive space, reducing the pressure in the paint. The latest news indicates that Liaoning's new foreign big…

On December 28, 2024, the Global Football Awards ceremony was held in Dubai. Cristiano Ronaldo became one of the big winners at this event, receiving two major awards: Best Middle East Player of the Year and Best Goalscorer in History. The 39-year-old Ronaldo attended the ceremony with his 30-year-old partner, Georgina, drawing attention. During his acceptance speech, Ronaldo's words sparked a heated discussion: "It is a very pleasant thing to receive this award. My eldest son (Mini Ronaldo) is here, and my wife (Georgina) is also here. She will always be my closest supporter. I am about to turn 40, but my football journey is not over yet. I still want to win championships and score goals." The focus of "The Daily Mail" and "The Sun" was on the word "wife" - Ronaldo publicly referred to Georgina as his "wife," rather than "lover" or "fiancée." In the blink of an eye, Ronaldo and Georgina have been together for 8 years. Over these years, Georgina's identity has been "Ronaldo's girlfriend," following him from Real Madrid to Juventus, then to Manchester United and Al-Nassr. Ronaldo's mansion in the affluent area of La Finca in Madrid is also being transferred to Georgina's name. "The Daily Mail" points out that in just 2024 alone, Ronaldo has publicly declared Georgina as his "wife" at least three times. At the beginning of this year, Ronaldo talked about his life on the WHOOP program: "Every morning, I drink a cup of coffee, talk to my children, talk to my wife, and start a new day." In August,…

The landscape of the CBA has changed dramatically overnight after the conclusion of five matches in the 22nd round of the regular season. Guangdong team was defeated by Zhejiang team at home with a big score, while Beijing team lost to Shandong team away. Since Beijing's defeat against Shandong, the three major championship contenders in the league - Guangdong, Liaoning, and Beijing - have all been pushed out of the top five. Liaoning team, in particular, was dragged down by Beijing from sixth place to eighth on the leaderboard. This season, there have been subtle changes in the CBA situation. Shanxi team's strong rise has added another contender to the championship race in the new season. However, at the beginning of the season, Guangdong team, due to poor performance of foreign players and other reasons, had already fallen out of the competition for the top four. But Beijing and Liaoning, these two traditional strong teams, performed outstandingly in the first stage of the event, steadily occupying the top four positions on the leaderboard, and even once occupied the top spot. It must be said that both Beijing and Liaoning teams were regarded as hot favorites to win the championship this season. Even without Zhou Qi, many other teams still dare not underestimate Guangdong team. Let's start with Guangdong team. In this match, Guangdong team started well and once took a smooth lead of 10 points. However, after Zhejiang team launched a fierce attack in the second half, Guangdong team failed to make an immediate effective adjustment. Facing Zhejiang team's tidal-like…

Chelsea's recent transfer moves have been nothing short of sensational, setting the football world ablaze with excitement! At the heart of this transfer storm is none other than Lautaro Martinez, the acclaimed efficiency king of Serie A. Demonstrating their commitment, Chelsea has made a bold move with a three-for-one offer, even potentially putting forth a transfer fee nearing 100 million euros to secure the Argentine golden boot winner. Fans are speculating whether this move will completely transform Chelsea's front line lineup. However, behind the scenes of this player swap lies another significant concern—Enkunku, the young forward who has shone brightly this season, may be forced to leave the stage quietly. Such a drastic reshuffle of the squad undoubtedly suggests there are many stories yet to unfold. Chelsea's performance this season has already been impressive, ranking fourth in the Premier League and closely following Liverpool, while fiercely competing with established giants like Manchester City and Arsenal. Their offensive firepower has been astonishing, scoring 37 goals in 16 matches, topping the Premier League goal-scoring charts! The depth of their squad has also been impressive, with proper rotation and minimal injuries, maintaining a relatively stable performance. When it comes to the core of the team's offense, it is undoubtedly Palmer. His midfield performances have been outstanding, handling control, passing, and attacking with ease, making him one of the hottest midfielders in the Premier League. His market value has skyrocketed to 130 million euros, firmly establishing him as a top European football star. Despite Chelsea's overall excellent performance, their frontline positions have remained somewhat…

The second phase of the CBA regular season is in full swing, with recent discussions focusing on Guangdong Men's Basketball's home defeat to old rival Zhejiang Men's Basketball by a large margin. As Guangdong approaches the halfway point of the regular season with only a 12-10 record, many fans are concerned that the team may not make it into the playoffs this season. In terms of foreign aid, despite the addition of new recruits such as Bazley and Les, the team still relies heavily on Morand and Jilunwate for tough games. Bazley failed to perform up to par against Zhejiang, while the fourth foreign aid, Les, is even less capable than the previously released Arms. In response, Zhu Fangyu, general manager of the Guangdong team, has made it clear that the team is seeking to sign a fifth foreign aid. At the same time, the new recruits Les and Bazley have not met expectations, meaning that Du Feng still needs a foreign aid who can play at the three position with sufficient size and offensive capabilities. After the failures of Barton, Arms, and Les, Guangdong must now prioritize autonomous offensive ability in their foreign aid selection. Additionally, having the standard height and wingspan for the three position is also an essential requirement. As a result, Guangdong may only have the opportunity to strengthen their team after NBA layoffs. However, Guangdong's current record may not be able to sustain them until NBA layoffs occur, so buying out new recruits from other overseas leagues may be the preferred option. Lance Stephenson, a…
