The 24-25 CBA regular season is about to complete half of its schedule, and the team that has performed the best so far is undoubtedly Guangsha Men's Basketball Team. They have been at the top of the standings for a long time and have only lost three games, showing strong dominance. In fact, Guangsha has had good results in recent years, mainly because of their luxurious domestic lineup, with many players having national-level skills. In previous years, Guangsha often stumbled in the playoffs, mainly due to a weak bench lineup and overuse of their main players. However, this year, the CBA increased the number of foreign players, which greatly benefited Guangsha. They are not worried about manpower shortages, as Sun Minghui and Hu Jinqiu's dual-core lineup was already very stable, so achieving their current results is not surprising. Of course, not all Guangsha players satisfy everyone, and Zhao Yanhao is the most typical example. He was once one of the "three giants" within the team, but now his status and actual performance cannot compare with Sun Minghui and Hu Jinqiu, and he is even lower than Zhu Junlong and Zhao Jiaoren, which makes people sigh. This season, Zhao Yanhao averages 15.4 minutes per game, scoring 4 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 0.7 assists. Undoubtedly, these statistics are relatively low, and in any team, they would be considered a substitute level, not even the first-tier substitute. It must be acknowledged that after the CBA implemented the four-quarter, seven-foreign-player system this year, the playing opportunities for domestic players have been significantly reduced. However,…

The Grizzlies suffered a crushing defeat, losing by 51 points. Is this making people anxious, or has it finally made them realize something? According to American journalist Siegel, the Warriors are planning to trade three young players from their team: Kuminga, Moody, and Bjelica. If the Warriors had this idea during the summer offseason this year, Marquinhos would have already brought his talent to the Golden State. Speaking of Bjelica, everyone originally had high hopes for him, thinking he could perform well. This season, he's in his second year, but unexpectedly, he's not performing as well as his rookie season. In his rookie season, he averaged 9.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.7 assists, with a shooting percentage of 45.4% and a three-point percentage of 38.5%. But this season, so far, he's only averaging 8.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3.5 assists, with a shooting percentage of 39.6% and a three-point percentage of 25.8%. Recently, a brave journalist bluntly stated, "Bjelica hasn't reached the level to be a rotational player yet, the Warriors should bench him and not let him play." American media NBA Memes once mocked Bjelica, saying, "The Warriors actually gave up on George and Marquinhos for him." I have to tell you something, a few days ago, that fake news outlet NBA Centel posted a dynamic saying, "If Bjelica doesn't improve his basketball skills, he'll be kicked out of the Warriors." Then, Draymond Green secretly liked this post... So, Bjelica, who was once a darling, has now become a nuisance to everyone. The Warriors are planning to trade him…

Recently, rumors about a "conflict" between Zhou Qi and Beijing Shougang have caused ripples, much like a stone thrown into a lake. As a well-known figure in the basketball world, every move of Zhou Qi is closely watched. After missing several games for Beijing Shougang, it naturally led to speculation that there might be irreconcilable conflicts between him and the team. After all, friction between players and teams is not uncommon in professional basketball. However, this time, the truth turned out to be unexpected. According to Xu Limin, the head coach of Beijing Shougang, Zhou Qi's absence was not due to a conflict with the team but because of his severe health issues. Symptoms such as colds, fever, and vomiting have drastically worsened Zhou Qi's physical condition, making him unable to withstand high-intensity matches. When discussing this matter, Xu Limin could not hide his regret. He knew that as an important member of the team, Zhou Qi's absence undoubtedly dealt a significant blow to the team. Looking back at Zhou Qi's performance this season, he played in 7 games for Beijing Shougang, averaging 12.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1 steal, and 2 blocks per game. These statistics are particularly valuable given his limited playing time. Zhou Qi's on-court performance has always been praised; his height and wingspan advantage, excellent finishing ability under the basket, and defensive deterrence have provided significant support to Beijing Shougang. Due to health problems, he had to miss multiple games, which also led to various speculations about the reasons for his absence. Xu Limin clearly…

China's top player Zhang Zhizhen has made a new move on social media, sharing photos of his arrival in Perth, Australia and his preparations for the United Cup. He also revealed his feelings after arriving, saying that the weather there is hotter than he expected, and he hasn't been in such hot conditions for a long time. However, he will do his best to adapt and strive for good results in this United Cup. The temporary withdrawal of Zheng Qinwen has greatly affected the strength of the Chinese team. In foreign websites' predictions for the United Cup, China initially had a chance to win the championship, ranking fifth, only behind the United States, Poland, Greece, and Kazakhstan, and at the same level as Italy and Germany. However, after Zheng Qinwen withdrew, China's chances of winning dropped to 11th place. The reason for this drop is the poor performance of China's women's singles. Looking at the current situation, the top women's singles player sent by China is Gao Xinui, who is ranked only 175th in the world. She will have to face Brazil's number one player, Maia, and Germany's number one player, Siegemund. Gao Xinui has never even entered the top 100 in the world or played in the main draw of a Grand Slam. Whether it's about strength or fame, she is far behind. This means that China has no chance of scoring in the women's singles event. If they want to advance from the group, they can only rely on Zhang Zhizhen and the mixed doubles. Zhang Zhizhen will…

In the 2024-25 season, the young Houston Rockets have shown tremendous progress. This team was once a rebuilding and struggling squad just a few years ago, but in a short span of time, the Rockets have finally gotten back on track with their rebuild. Last season, under the leadership of new head coach Udoka, the Rockets managed to bring their win rate back to 50%, just a step away from making it into the playoff play-in tournament. This season, the Rockets have made even further strides, with an even better record. So far this new season, the Rockets have achieved a record of 20 wins and 9 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference. For a young rebuilding team, such significant progress is heartwarming. Of course, while the Rockets' current record is commendable, whether they can maintain it until the end of the season remains uncertain. The team still has certain shortcomings, one of which is the lack of a true core player capable of delivering in critical moments. The young players on the Rockets are all very talented, but none of them possess the ability to become the mainstay of a team. To find their core, the Rockets may need to achieve this through major trades or free-agent signings. According to previous reports, the Rockets were once very keen on trading for Suns veteran star Kevin Durant. However, obtaining a player of Durant's caliber is quite challenging. Additionally, the Rockets are also keeping an eye on the movements of stars from other teams in the league. In recent days,…

After the end of the 2022 season, Liverpool made a decision that sparked extensive discussion and demonstrated strategic foresight at the time - to let go of Mane and instead firmly choose to renew their contract with Salah. It is worth noting that after the African Cup of Nations and Ramadan that season, Salah did not maintain his heroic performance from the first half of the year, and it was precisely thanks to Mane that the team could compete for titles in both the Champions League and the Premier League. Now, as time has passed, the correctness of this decision has been proven to be incredibly clear. Salah, the Egyptian star, has consistently shown his superior dominance in the two seasons following his renewal. In the 2022-23 season, Salah played 38 times in the Premier League for Liverpool, scoring 19 goals and providing 12 assists. In the 2023-24 season, Salah played 44 times in various competitions for Liverpool, scoring 25 goals and providing 14 assists. His goal-scoring methods are diverse and varied, whether it's long-range shots, poaching, or dribbling breakthroughs followed by shots, all of which make him difficult for opponents to defend against. His speed, technique, and sense of smell in front of the goal remain at the level of the world's top forwards, playing an indispensable role in the team's offensive system. On the other hand, Mane, after transferring to Bayern Munich, did not achieve the expected development. In his first season with Bayern Munich (2022-2023), he played 38 times but only scored 12 goals. Moreover, Mane, who…

Portuguese sports media reported that the Portuguese U15 national team is participating in the UEFA Development Cup, which is equivalent to the European Championship for 15-year-old players. The 14-year-old Chinese player Francisco Wang wore the No. 7 jersey of the Portuguese U15 national team and represented them in three consecutive group stage matches. The Portuguese U15 national team was grouped with Ukraine U15, Turkey U15, and Italy U15. In the first match, the Portuguese U15 national team defeated Ukraine U15 3-0. Chinese player Francisco Wang started as a winger/attacking midfielder, playing 75 minutes and helping the team win 3-0. In the second match, the Portuguese U15 national team defeated Turkey U15 3-2. Francisco Wang came on as a substitute in the 55th minute and helped the team win. In the third match, the Portuguese U15 national team lost 2-3 to Italy U15. Francisco Wang came on as a substitute in the 46th minute. Chinese player Francisco Wang helped the Portuguese U15 national team win 2 and lose 1 in 3 matches, accumulating 6 points and securing the top spot in the group. The Portuguese U15 national team advanced to the quarter-finals of the European Development Cup (U15 European Championship). Francisco Wang, whose Chinese name is Wang Lei, was born in 2010 in the small town of Abrantes, Portugal. His parents are from Qingtian, Zhejiang, and are engaged in business in Portugal. Francisco Wang joined the Benfica youth training at the age of 8, going through the Benfica U11, U13, and U15 teams. Currently, he plays for Benfica U15A as a…

Shandong Taishan Team has become a supplier in the domestic transfer market. In previous seasons, they loaned out players such as Song Long and Ji Xiang last season. This year, they have made up their minds to adjust the lineup, reduce loans, and strive for direct transfers. Sun Guowen and Tong Lei will join Zhejiang Team through transfer, and the negotiation with Leonardo is also smooth, hoping to exchange some transfer fees. In addition to normal personnel exchanges, head coach Cuikexing is another problem. Both sides have put all their cards on the table, just to see who can hold on longer. Cuikexing is ambitious and wants the team's right to introduce foreign aid, but the facts have proved that his selection of foreign aid vision and coaching ability have a big gap. According to media personality Miao Yuan, there is a new plan, and fans asked what the plan was. Miao Yuan replied, "Break up." This can be considered good news. At least Cuikexing did not cling to Shandong Taishan Team, and was willing to take a step back. Old Cui knew when to retreat. If he stays next year and is marginalized, as a famous Korean coach, it would be "losing face at the end," and he must weigh the pros and cons. If Old Cui and Shandong Taishan Team part ways peacefully, many players in the team reignite their hopes of staying on the team, among which Duan Liu Yu is the first. His contract with Shandong Taishan Team has expired, and the initiative is in the…

After the disappointing exit from the Olympics, the women's basketball team is gearing up for their next major event, the Asian Cup next year. The main lineup is expected to undergo significant changes. It remains to be seen whether Zhang Ziyu will be selected by Zheng Wei, despite her abilities far surpassing her peers, she has yet to play in a professional league. There are no particularly outstanding young players on the national team. The new generation's talent is mostly concentrated in Zhang Ziyu, with Ran Kejia also showing promise but having suffered injuries, which could be seen as a form of balance. Yang Hengyu and Cao Junwei from Shandong are likely to receive training opportunities. Yang Hengyu possesses technical skills, experience, three-point shooting, mid-range shots, and good post moves; however, her age is slightly higher, and her lateral movement and defense are somewhat slower. Cao Junwei is also technically comprehensive, with strong attacking capabilities, rich experience, and good chemistry with Yang Hengyu, both of whom are at the peak of their careers. In the absence of young players stepping up, it seems that the team will still rely on these veterans. The main reason for the Olympic failure was the subpar performance of Li Meng, Han Xu, and Wang Suyu. Especially Li Meng, whose competitive state has significantly deteriorated due to injuries compared to the Women's Basketball World Cup. This season, after the start of the women's basketball league, Li Meng's statistics have also shown a noticeable decline. However, due to the abundance of national team players within Sichuan,…

Chinese football has been a hot topic in recent years, especially regarding discussions on naturalized players. From initial excitement to current anxiety, fans' emotions have experienced ups and downs. Naturalized players were once highly anticipated, believed to inject new vitality into the national team and help Chinese football stand out on the international stage. However, as time passed, the number of naturalized players gradually decreased. Even now, it seems that the only usable naturalized player is struggling in an increasingly weak state, giving people a sense of uncertainty. With the approach of next year's World Cup qualifiers' top 18 matches, the national team's preparations have become more urgent. All eyes are focused on how to provide more combat power for the team, especially in critical moments when strong players can step up and help the team overcome difficulties. At this point, the issue of naturalized players has once again become a focal point. The transfer market of the Chinese Super League has also entered a critical period, especially in some financially strong clubs where actions targeting naturalized players are becoming more frequent. Beijing Guoan and Changchun Yatai's player Serginho, as a Brazilian foreign aid, has always been the focus of fans. Serginho's technical characteristics and potential naturalization value give people endless possibilities. As a Brazilian player, his skills and agility are excellent, with strong attacking capabilities. If he can be successfully naturalized, he will undoubtedly become an important piece on the national team's front line. In addition to Serginho, a recent significant acquisition by a Chinese Super League team has…
