When Sun Yingsha temporarily faded into the background and Chen Meng was absent from the court, a familiar name re-emerged under the spotlight - Wang Manyu. This "Pillar of the Sea" of the national table tennis women's team lived up to expectations, using an impressive series of victories to prove herself: winning the WTT Fukuoka annual finals and putting on a show of "21 consecutive victories" in the mixed team World Cup, without losing a single game! However, just as Wang Manyu was basking in success, a small change caught the attention of fans. On the sidelines of the match, we seemed to see a new face - Sun Xun, the coach. This detail was like a pebble dropped into a calm lake, creating ripples. Speaking of Wang Manyu and her coaches, it's really an "emotional drama." Her earliest partner was Coach Xiao Zhan, at that time Wang Manyu was like an unpolished piece of jade, gradually showing off its dazzling luster under Xiao Zhan's tutelage. That period was like a touching poem written by master and apprentice working together. But, as they say, all good things must come to an end. When Xiao Zhan was reassigned to be the mixed doubles coach, Wang Manyu felt like she had lost her backbone, and her state began to fluctuate. It was then that the young Xu Hui coach entered her life. After more than a year of coordination, the two finally found their rhythm, and Wang Manyu's ball skills also gradually improved. Yet, fate always likes to play jokes on people.…

In the glittering NBA universe, the 2009 draft undoubtedly gave birth to two of the brightest stars - Stephen Curry and James Harden. They have each written their own legendary chapters in the basketball hall with extraordinary talent and relentless effort. Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, these two former young men have entered the twilight of their careers, yet they still shine brightly on the court, becoming undisputed leaders in their respective positions, leading their teams to break through the waves in the league. Stephen Curry, the soul figure of the Golden State Warriors, his name has long been closely linked to the glory of this city. However, even such a legend cannot escape the ravages of time. At 36 years old, he faced unprecedented challenges this season. Although he still proves his worth with an average of 21.8 points, 5 rebounds, and 6.6 assists per game, the once surging scoring power seems no longer so easily accessible. His shooting percentage dropped to 43.5%, and his three-point percentage was only 40.3%. Behind these numbers is Curry's countless struggles and resilience to regain his past form. His performance is sometimes like a god descending, and at other times like an ordinary person struggling. This unpredictable state is directly reflected in the Warriors' record - 15 wins and 13 losses, ranking eighth in the West, which makes fans both worried and expectant. In contrast, the 35-year-old Harden seems to have ushered in the second spring of his career. In the Clippers, he jumped from a supporting role to…

It's really difficult to find suitable foreign players, a common sentiment among the general managers of CBA clubs, who are almost constantly scouting for talent. This is related to the CBA's salary cap regulations, which stipulate that the total cannot exceed $4.5 million. With such a low price, it's certainly challenging to find appropriate foreign players. However, there have been successful cases of finding great value in unexpected places. Below, we'll discuss four foreign players who were very affordable but have performed like superstars. Weatherspoon from Qingdao Men's Basketball averages 27.3 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 6.9 assists per game, with a shooting percentage as high as 52%. Weatherspoon was cut after playing only 23 games in Tianjin and had a poor performance last season in Guangsha. Qingdao originally had Powell, but Weatherspoon was a backup option. However, he has proven himself and become a superstar player. Little Barry Brown from Guangsha Men's Basketball averages 25.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 7.1 assists, and 2.1 steals per game, leading Guangsha to the top of the league! Guangsha has struggled to find suitable foreign players, but this season they finally met Brown. Brown previously had a poor performance in Beijing and played for Guangzhou last season. Liaoning Men's Basketball was really in need of foreign players and found Wells! Wells has played for teams like Jiangsu, Guangsha, Qingdao, and Jilin before, being cut multiple times. No one expected him to become a superstar in Liaoning! Currently, he averages 24.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 4 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 56% and…

Translation of the content: The reasons behind Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team's signing of Rie Fujii have been revealed! Fans have uncovered a heartbreaking inside story: Chen Fang saw through it long ago. Netizens have pointed out incisively that during last year's match between China and Japan, there was an outstanding Japanese libero who managed to defend against many of Li Yingying's decisive kills. The player Tianjin has signed this time is none other than Rie Fujii. Japanese women's volleyball liberos do have some level of skill, and it seems that this year will still be a competition between Tianjin and Shanghai for the championship. Tianjin's move to sign a libero is a clever one; with good reception, the team's tactics can become more diverse, allowing the two excellent vice attackers to maximize their potential! If winning games is the goal, using mathematical methods to solve the problem would yield multiple equations that could provide the correct answer. It all depends on which team-building strategy suits you best. Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team excels at having professionals handle professional matters, and Li Shan is someone who gets things done. In the upcoming matches, Meng Zixuan will definitely not be able to play, and the young players are not reliable. Liu Liwen has no substitute, so to ensure Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team wins the championship this year, they directly recruited players at the Club World Cup, which is convenient, fast, and immediately effective. It's always better to be prepared for any eventuality. In fact, Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team not only wants to rely…

Who is the "group favorite" in China's table tennis world? It must be Sun Yingsha. With her round face that looks so soft, it gives people an urge to pinch it. In South Korea's table tennis world, there is also such a "group favorite." She has a cute appearance and a very likable personality, and she is the "smiling girl" who won the hearts of many during the recently held Olympics - Shin Yu-bin. She really loves to laugh. She laughs when she wins a match, laughs when her teammates communicate with her, and even laughs when she loses a match. It must be said that Shin Yu-bin has a really good character. With her round face, she also looks soft. Although her facial features are not particularly three-dimensional or delicate, she looks very cute overall. Her smile is not the kind that makes a hundred charms with a single glance; it's more like the warm smile of afternoon sunshine, making people feel very happy and relaxed. No wonder people often say that attitude determines appearance. Under the influence of her good attitude, Shin Yu-bin appears very sunny, giving off a "girl next door" vibe. Fans who like her call her the "Kapibara" of the table tennis world, which is quite an apt metaphor. In real life, Shin Yu-bin fully embodies the term "girl next door." Being cheerful and sunny has become her byword, and her extremely infectious smile has become her trademark. It's no wonder so many people like her. During her free time without training, Shin Yu-bin, like…

In the Chinese national table tennis team, someone has finally taken the initiative to stand up against unfairness! This time, Fan Zhendong expressed his dissatisfaction with the new WTT regulations on the surface, but in reality, he is challenging Liu Guoliang! Unable to bear the new rule of being fined for not participating, Fan Zhendong chose to withdraw from the world rankings without retiring! What does Fan Zhendong's statement mean? It means that domestic competitions should still be played, but international competitions will not be played. Why does Fan Zhendong want to withdraw from the international rankings? WTT is a game of capital, purely using the health of athletes to make money. The schedule is too dense, and there are penalties for not participating. This phenomenon is very unfair to athletes! Why has WTT become a game of capital? Because WTT Chairman Liu Guoliang chose to treat athletes as cattle and horses, under his promotion, the commercial nature of the WTT competition system points are higher than the nine major events, forcing athletes who want to make a name for themselves on the international stage to frequently participate and accept the exploitation of WTT. If Liu Guoliang's only significant move was the reform of WTT, it might not have been enough to make Fan Zhendong decide to quit. However, what really caused Fan Zhendong to gradually take a different path from Liu Guoliang was actually the fan culture of the national table tennis team! Everyone knows very clearly that the fan culture of the national table tennis team was led…

NBA regular season is in full swing, with many teams involved in trade rumors and several star players potentially on the move. Take the Pelicans, for example; they're like an open supermarket this season. Due to injuries, the Pelicans have had a tough time, with a record of 5 wins and 22 losses, placing them at the bottom of the Western Conference. The Pelicans no longer trust their frontline combination of Zion and Ingram and have openly stated that they are open to trading these two core players. Additionally, the Heat might be looking to rebuild, as they have put their star player Butler on the trading block. Since leading the Heat to an unexpected Finals appearance last year, Butler's performance has lacked highlights, and with his age not on his side, the Heat are considering building a younger, more promising team. The Bulls are also eager to trade away LaVine and Vucevic, taking a longer-term view. The Lakers are quite active in the trade market, eager to strengthen their team quickly. James and Davis, the two core players, are definitely not going anywhere, but other role players could be used as trade bait. In recent times, the Lakers have shown interest in several players, such as No. 1 pick Fultz, the Nets' Cameron Johnson and Finney-Smith, the Wizards' Kuzma, the Blazers' Simmons and Grant, etc. The Lakers' goal in recruitment is clear; they are looking for near All-Star level players to serve as the team's third core. Although the current Lakers lineup appears decent, it lacks depth, with no…
