On December 27th, Beijing time, the 24/25 snooker season has entered a short break. Currently, the Macau Snooker Masters exhibition is underway. In the first two match days, "Rocket" defeated Lisowski and Fu Jiajun to easily win two consecutive victories (it is reported that one victory is worth 50,000 pounds). After the table incident, Ding Junhui's state seems not very ideal, ending his Macau trip with a 1-5 defeat to Xiao Si (he and Xiao Si will continue to play exhibition matches in Hangzhou)! Although the performance of the top player in Macau is not good, Ding Junhui has already brought too many surprises to fans in the past 2024. Next, let's review the seven unforgettable moments left in the past year's season (if there are any omissions, please feel free to add), Bai Yulu's three consecutive victories at the UK Championship and Zhao Xintong's three consecutive championships in the QT series are still fresh in our memory. If Zhao Xintong can maintain such an offensive and defensive state next season, he may even have a chance to challenge for the championship at some point. The seven unforgettable moments of 2024 are as follows: Moment One: Ding Junhui hits 147 at the Masters, becoming the first person in history. Moment Two: Wizard Xiao Si achieves a thousand century breaks. Moment Three: Xiao Guodong reaches the final of the Crown of Crowns, becoming the first Chinese player to do so. Moment Four: Ding Junhui loses due to a ridiculous foul with the tip of his cue. Moment Five: Bai Yulu wins…

NBA regular season is in full swing, and the league's landscape is taking shape, with some teams rejoicing and others facing challenges. Taking the Western Conference as an example, young teams like the Thunder, Rockets, and Grizzlies are forging ahead and firmly occupying the top 3 spots in the West, with a promising situation; while many powerhouse teams such as the Lakers, Clippers, Suns, and Warriors are plagued by injuries, trapped in the play-in tournament area, and their situations are not optimistic! The Dallas Mavericks have upgraded their lineup around the East European combination, but their championship prospects are more dangerous than imagined. Luka, endowed with extraordinary talent and achieving fame at a young age, has made many people doubt whether he can adapt to the intensity of the NBA due to his plump physique and injury risks. This was also the reason why the Atlanta Hawks completed the blockbuster trade of swapping Luka for Trae Young during the 2018 draft. Fortunately, the Dallas team successfully picked up a bargain, and since Luka joined the NBA in 2018, he has completed the torch relay with the old driver Dirk, leading the Mavericks step by step to rebuild their glory - first returning to the playoffs, then reaching the Western Conference Finals floor, and last season proudly advancing to the Finals, losing to the Celtics but winning the future. In this process, Luka has been selected to the All-NBA First Team for five consecutive years, won the scoring title in the regular season, and is a frequent contender for the MVP!…

In the sports world, athletes' romantic lives have always been a focal point of public interest. In 2021, Wang Chuqin, a rising star of China's national table tennis team, made an unexpected statement in a public interview, expressing his expectations for an ideal partner, which sparked widespread attention and discussion. As a representative of new-era athletes, Wang Chuqin broke away from the traditional cautious and conservative stance that athletes often take on matters of the heart. During the interview, when asked about his criteria for choosing a partner, he unhesitatingly expressed his preference for someone "like Sun Yingsha." This candid declaration not only revealed the authentic personality of contemporary young athletes but also opened a window for the public to understand the emotional world of professional athletes. Delving into Wang Chuqin's statement, it reflects the rational thinking of new-era athletes towards relationships. In his view, an ideal partner should not merely be an emotional crutch but a life companion who can understand and progress together. This shift in perspective aligns with the contemporary pursuit of equality and mutual assistance in romantic relationships among young people. Professionally, Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha's partnership is nearly flawless. They have repeatedly demonstrated exceptional teamwork in major international table tennis events. Their daily training and side-by-side competition have built a solid foundation of trust. This mentor-mentee and friend-like relationship has allowed them to complement each other subtly in terms of technical advancement, character, and approach to dealing with matters. It's worth noting that Sun Yingsha, as a fresh force in China's women's table tennis…

On December 24, 2024, the world rankings of snooker experienced significant changes, especially the achievements of Chinese snooker, which can be described as earth-shattering. Four Chinese players—Ding Junhui, Zhang Anda, Si Jiahui, and Xiao Guodong—have successfully entered the top 16 in the world rankings, achieving a historic breakthrough! You didn't hear wrong! Chinese snooker has ushered in an unprecedented rise, with four players simultaneously entering this magical top 16 circle, shining brightly and delighting countless fans. Looking at these achievements, it's almost enough to make a motivational movie. While everyone is still marveling at how strong Chinese table tennis is and how basketball is rising, our snooker players are quietly making their presence felt on the international stage. Historically, it's a groundbreaking big news that so many Chinese snooker players have broken into the top 16! This time, it's not just Ding Junhui carrying the flag behind him, but also three rising stars—Zhang Anda, Si Jiahui, and Xiao Guodong—who are quietly becoming the backbone of Chinese snooker. To say that all this is related to the rapid rise of Chinese snooker would not be an exaggeration. The performance of these four players is really touching. As the spokesperson for Chinese snooker, Ding Junhui naturally needs no further introduction. In his early years, he not only broke China's silence in world snooker with his own strength but also once topped the world, achieving remarkable success. In recent years, although there have been ups and downs in competitions, he is still a banner figure in Chinese snooker. Now, he can stand firmly…

The Clippers really unleashed their firepower in this game, staging an astonishing comeback on the Grizzlies' home court. You might wonder, how exciting was this game? The Clippers were originally seen as underdogs, missing Leonard, while the Grizzlies had Morant, Bane, and Jackson, who indeed had stronger paper strength. But basketball games aren't just about what's on paper, especially in such tense Western Conference ranking battles, which are never that simple. And the result? The Clippers pulled off a stunning comeback, and this victory directly reshaped the Western Conference landscape! The game was filled with tension from the start, with the Grizzlies showing strong momentum at home. Not long after the opening, Bane hit a three-pointer, setting the pace for the team. This shot initially seemed quite exciting, but the Clippers weren't intimidated. Powell quickly responded with a three-pointer of his own, with the score seesawing back and forth, neither side willing to give ground. Look at it, the scores fluctuated like a roller coaster, not giving the opponent any breathing room. Especially the Grizzlies' offense, with Morant scoring continuously, once leading 8-3, making the Clippers' fans' hearts sink. Fortunately, Harden and Dunn of the Clippers gradually warmed up, and the team began to narrow the gap, with the situation becoming increasingly tight. At the end of the first quarter, the Grizzlies still had a slight advantage, leading 30-28. By the second quarter, the Grizzlies suddenly stepped up their game, with Lavinia hitting a three-pointer, once widening the gap to 5 points. Well, the Grizzlies were scoring comfortably, while the…

As the second and third leaders of the Clippers last season, Paul George and Harden have both had brilliant careers, garnering numerous honors and achievements. Even though they are now in the twilight of their careers, both are still core players for their respective teams, holding important tactical positions and roles within the team. At 35 years old, Harden has delivered his best performance in recent seasons. In the absence of Paul George and with Leonard out for the season, Harden has become the undisputed leader of the Clippers this season. With increased ball possession and status, Harden has put forth a highly convincing performance. To date, Harden has played 29 games for the Clippers, averaging 33.9 minutes per game, scoring 22 points, grabbing 6.5 rebounds, dishing out 8.1 assists, making 1.5 steals, and blocking 0.6 shots, with a shooting percentage of 38.9%, a three-point percentage of 34.5%, and a free throw percentage of 89.3%. Although Harden's efficiency is low this season, his contributions and influence on the team go far beyond what the statistics can show. Judging solely from the data, Harden remains among the top guards in the league. Despite facing numerous challenges, Harden has led the Clippers to an impressive record of 17 wins and 13 losses, ranking seventh in the West. Although he cannot match his peak offensive threat, Harden is still a heavily relied upon offensive point for the Clippers this season. He has scored a total of 639 points with an average of 22 points, making him the team's second-highest scorer, and even achieving…

Congratulations to Scaloni! Argentina has found a midfield maestro to partner with Messi, and the prospects of defending their World Cup title are looking promising. Lionel Messi has already led the Argentine national team to victory at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, reaching the pinnacle of world football and earning the title of "ball king." Looking ahead to the next World Cup, Argentina remains a strong contender for the trophy. Currently ranked first in the world, the team has won four consecutive championships, boasting a powerful lineup with great cohesion. Crucially, Argentina's midfield is now incredibly luxurious. Congratulations to Scaloni! The Argentine team has found a midfield master to join forces with Messi, and the hope of retaining the World Cup is within reach. In the early hours of December 27th, Liverpool secured a 3-1 victory over Leicester City during the Premier League's Boxing Day fixture, with goals from Gakpo, Jones, and Salah. In this match, Argentine international Mac Allister provided two assists and made the most tackles with five, showcasing his comprehensive abilities. Mac Allister may not be as well-known, but his abilities are undeniable, making him a player whose skills surpass his fame. He joined Chelsea from Brighton for a transfer fee of 42 million euros and is currently valued at 80 million euros. In the nearly 20 games that Mac Allister has played for Liverpool, the team has remained unbeaten (18 wins and 2 draws). Liverpool's strong lead in both the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League this season owes much to Mac Allister's…

With the coaching of Setien, there have been reports that Beira is expected to return to Guoan. On one hand, Guoan signing Setien was influenced by Beira, and Setien is also familiar with Beira. It is judged that their cooperation is not impossible. On the other hand, as an old player, Beira has feelings for Guoan. He has left a deep impression on Guoan fans in the past. If it weren't for Beira's injury, Guoan might have won the league championship in the 2019 season. Therefore, many fans hope that Beira can return and continue the previous relationship. The latest news shows: "Beira received an offer from Guoan and is considering returning." However, this information is not true, and Guoan did not actually extend an invitation to Beira. Let's look at the reasons in detail: He is no longer in his prime state. Born in October 1989, Beira has just turned 35 years old. In 2019, he was less than 30 and at the peak of his career. Over the past six years, the player has experienced injuries, physical skills decline, and a drop in competitive form, which is an indisputable fact. Playing fewer than 20 games a year clearly does not meet the standards of a professional player. There is no need for his position. Serginho joined Guoan aiming for the midfield core, which is the attacking midfielder position. Including Zhang Xizhe and others, Guoan is not short of players in this position. At this time, Beira's return may not be as effective as the prime-aged Serginho, so there…
