In a CBA regular season match between Beijing and Qingdao men's basketball teams, Zhou Qi, who had just returned from injury, once again paid the price for his lack of composure. He only played two quarters before being ejected in the third quarter after less than two minutes due to a dispute with the referee, resulting in two technical fouls (Ts). According to CBA tradition, Zhou Qi is likely to face severe penalties from the basketball association this time, at least a fine is inevitable. The CBA has always been strict in punishing conflicts between players and referees. Many fans are also concerned about why Zhou Qi was so angry this time that he risked getting a T by directly arguing with the referee? From the game video, Zhou Qi was mainly dissatisfied with the refereeing standards of referee No. 59. In the 10th minute of the third quarter, Beijing held the ball on offense, and after receiving the ball, Zhou Qi prepared to drive to the basket for a layup. As a result, he collided with Yang Hanshen of Qingdao and fell to the ground. Zhou Qi quickly passed the ball to other teammates. At that time, the referee did not indicate anything. However, Zhou Qi believed that Yang Hanshen might have obstructed him because Yang Hanshen made a foot movement when he started. Zhou Qi therefore communicated and argued with the referee for the first time. The referee thought that Zhou Qi should focus on the game and made a gesture refusing communication to him. Zhou Qi still…

Recently on the NBA court, the Rockets have been in a strong momentum, making steady progress. After a strong victory over the Nuggets away from home, they firmly occupy the second place in the West, opening up a significant gap with the Grizzlies behind them. The Rockets have transformed from a dark horse that people thought might "drop the chain" at any time to a strong team recognized by everyone today. The key to this transformation lies in the transformation of a core player. Yes, it is Jalen Green. He proved himself with his strength, making the decision of the Rockets management at that time seem wise. The Rockets used to win games all the time, but people always felt something was missing. Everyone thought that apart from a good supporting lineup, the core players' abilities were not enough, and their performance was unstable. However, Jalen Green's rise has completely changed this situation. Take the game at the Denver highland home court as an example. Green was simply amazing. He played for less than 30 minutes, made 10 out of 16 shots, scored 34 points plus 5 assists, made 6 out of 10 three-pointers, and made 8 out of 8 free throws. This efficiency is simply amazing. Moreover, now, such performances have become commonplace for him because in the last 7 games, he scored more than 20 points in each game, and in the last 6 games, he scored more than 25 points in each game, including 3 games with more than 30 points and 1 game with 40 points.…

Nico Paz, aged 20, currently plays for Como, the newly promoted team in Serie A. On January 19th, Como's head coach, Fabregas, highly praised Nico Paz: If Real Madrid does not exercise their buy-back option, we will reject offers ranging from 40 million to 50 million euros. Last summer, Nico Paz left Real Madrid to join Como. His transfer fee was only 6 million euros, but the contract stipulated that if there were two transfers, Real Madrid would receive a 50% share, and additionally, Real Madrid had the right of first refusal. After leaving Real Madrid and arriving in Serie A, the 20-year-old Nico Paz has clearly grown. In the 2024-25 Serie A season, as an attacking midfielder, Nico Paz made 18 appearances, contributing 3 goals and 4 assists. Last October, Nico Paz was also selected for the Argentine national team, making his debut for the Tango Army. Como is positioned as a relegation battler, while Nico Paz is the team's offensive core, with a valuation of 20 million euros by Transfermarkt, the highest in the team. In Fabregas' 4-2-3-1 formation, Nico Paz plays as an attacking midfielder, taking on the role of an offensive playmaker. In Serie A, Nico Paz averages 1.8 key passes and 1.9 successful dribbles per game, ranking among the top in the team. Fabregas, the head coach of Como, gave a high evaluation of Nico Paz. At the press conference on Saturday, he talked about Nico Paz: "Nico is a Como player, and Real Madrid can buy him back, but they must pay the set…

Liaoning Men's Basketball Team suffered a crushing defeat to Zhejiang last night, losing 88-101. Although they once led by 12 points, Liaoning was overwhelmed by their opponents in the second half, scoring only 39 points in the third and fourth quarters while Zhejiang scored 54 points in the second half. More frightening than the loss itself was Yang Ming's post-game comments, which seemed to indicate that the team had lost its spirit. Before the game, Liaoning was ahead of Zhejiang by one win. This match was a crucial battle for positioning, with Zhejiang's main player Liu Zeyi and foreign aid Simons returning early from injury to challenge Liaoning for revenge! Liaoning started off cold, relying on Ferg's scoring to barely keep up with the score difference, with Zhejiang leading by 2 points at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, Webber and Wells performed strongly, allowing Liaoning to overtake Zhejiang by 2 points at halftime. However, in the second half, Liaoning's inside and outside defense became weak, coupled with their own offensive struggles, resulting in a 13-point defeat. In this game, Liaoning lost mainly in two aspects. First, their shooting accuracy was poor, with only 9 out of 34 shots made from beyond the arc, a meager 26% accuracy rate. In contrast, Zhejiang made 17 out of 34 three-pointers, giving them a 24-point advantage over Liaoning in three-point shooting alone. The second aspect was the turnovers at the start of the game, with Zhao Jiwei committing three consecutive turnovers after starting, which led to him being substituted.…

On January 19th, Beijing time, the 21st round of Serie A concluded with a clash between two giants, Juventus securing a home victory over AC Milan. The two teams had already faced each other this month, with Juventus being overturned by Milan in the semi-finals of the Italian Super Cup, missing out on the final. In this match, Juventus achieved revenge, with goals from Mbangu and Weah in the second half helping them to victory. After the win, Juventus climbed into the top four of Serie A, and at the same time, they found a gem in their 2-0 victory! The 23-year-old defensive midfielder excelled in both attack and defense, piercing through Milan's defense, earning him praise as the new Pogba. In terms of possession, Juventus led with 60%-40%, had 15 shots to Milan's 13, and 6 shots on target to Milan's 3, making their victory well-deserved. In the 59th minute of the game, Mbangu's shot hit Emerson and took a deflection, changing direction and flying into Milan's goal, giving Juventus a 1-0 lead. In the 64th minute, Weah scored with his left foot after facing Tomori's defense one-on-one, ending Juventus' four-game winless streak. Currently, Juventus has 8 wins and 13 draws in 21 rounds, accumulating 37 points and ranking fourth in Serie A. Atalanta is third with 43 points in 21 rounds, Inter Milan is second with 44 points in 19 rounds, and Napoli tops the table with 50 points in 21 rounds. After Juventus defeated Milan, midfielder Khephren Thuram's performance was praised. Thuram had a passing success rate…

At present, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team has already stocked up four foreign players, which has put the previously outstanding Wells into a dilemma. It should be noted that Yang Ming generally arranges four foreign players (Ferg, Wells, Patton, Weber) to appear in each game, and for Wells, who can only exert his influence by holding the ball, this undoubtedly makes his performance on the court seem quite struggling. In this round of matches, Liaoning team met Ningbo men's basketball team, which ranked at the bottom of the league. Don't underestimate this match. Liaoning team didn't play easily in this game. The two sides were deadlocked until the final quarter before the outcome was decided. In the end, Liaoning team narrowly won the opponent with a six-point advantage, with the score fixed at 113 to 107. In this game, one player stood out, Ferg. He continued his excellent form on the court, playing for 37 minutes. In this not short time, he shot 23 times and hit 11 times, taking the highest 34 points in the team with such an efficient performance. In addition, the newly joined big foreign aid Weber also performed quite efficiently on the court. In just 17 minutes, he successfully scored 19 points and grabbed 7 rebounds. In contrast, Patton and Wells, who are poor in attacking ability, had almost no eye-catching performance in this game, and their sense of presence is really weak. Recently, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team is not in very good condition. In this case, the team really needs to solve the thorny problem…

After two months under the guidance of Amorim, Manchester United is gradually finding its form, with a draw against Liverpool in the Premier League away game, an FA Cup victory over Arsenal with one less player on the road, and a comeback win against Southampton at home. With the winter transfer window now open, Manchester United manager Amorim has begun to make changes to the team's lineup. On January 19th, Beijing time, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported that Manchester United is in discussions with Real Betis regarding a deal involving Antony. Romano stated that the transfer plan involves Antony joining Real Betis on loan until June, without a buyout clause. Manchester United will cover part of the player's salary, and Antony is open to the move to Real Betis, with the deal close to being finalized. Antony's performance at Manchester United has been poor, and his salary is high. It is understandable that Manchester United would want to loan him out. Antony has not been able to secure consistent playing time at Manchester United and could benefit from a change of scenery at Real Betis. Real Betis has a history of signing players who have been let go by top clubs, such as Isco from Real Madrid, Riqui Puig from Barcelona, Adrian from Liverpool, and Giovani Lo Celso from Tottenham Hotspur. During Antony's loan period, Manchester United will pay part of the player's salary, allowing Real Betis to test the 24-year-old former Brazilian international, who could provide additional options for their La Liga and Europa League campaigns. Looking back, it…

In the journey of the CBA, the trend of Guangdong men's basketball team has always been highly anticipated. As it enters the late second stage, its state shows a warming trend, but the road ahead is still full of thorns. The goal of entering the top 4 in the regular season is like a star hanging high, shining with hope, yet difficult to reach easily. After all, strong opponents surround the third stage, and every game is a tough battle, just like climbers facing steep and dangerous peaks. Among the many factors that restrict the development of Guangdong men's basketball team, the small foreign aid link has always been a shortcoming that is difficult to make up for, as a famous saying goes: "The shortcoming determines capacity." From the beginning of the season until now, the choice of small foreign aid has not been satisfactory. The performances of foreign aids such as Barton, Arms, and Rice have not met the team's expectations, one after another falling short. Adding insult to injury, while the small foreign aid performed poorly, the team also suffered from injuries. Hu Mingxuan's shoulder injury undoubtedly added to the team's difficulties. As a result, the team's hopes seemed to be placed on Xu Jie alone. However, Xu Jie took on this heavy burden with superhuman perseverance and strength. He was like a brilliant star, shining on the court with his foreign aid-level performance, leading the team through difficulties and achieving an impressive record of seven consecutive victories, which also raised the team's ranking to eighth in the…

In the CBA arena, being crowned the All-Star King of the South is undoubtedly a testament to the high regard fans have for a player, and Xu Jie has earned this accolade with his near-perfect attendance. When Hu Mingxuan lifted the Finals FMVP trophy, the dazzling light seemed to convince many that Guangdong Men's Basketball's future would be closely tied to him, while Xu Jie was merely seen as a supporting character. However, the world of basketball is always full of variables. On the stage of the 24-25 season, the gears of fate took an unexpected turn. Hu Mingxuan had to pause due to injury, and at this moment, Xu Jie, like a brave warrior on the battlefield, stepped forward to shoulder the team's heavy responsibility. From the start of the season until now, Xu Jie's performance has been nothing short of spectacular. Averaging 16 points, this statistic measures his contribution in scoring with precision; grabbing 4 rebounds, not the most on the team, but each struggle reflects his relentless pursuit of victory; dishing out 7.9 assists, akin to a flexible thread connecting the team's offense, making it flow smoothly; and making 1.5 steals, he acts as a vigilant guardian on the defensive end, protecting the team's territory. These eye-catching statistics are only part of Xu Jie's contributions to the team; the sweat and effort behind them are immeasurable. Taking Guangdong Men's Basketball victories as an example, Xu Jie's playing time is almost always over 40 minutes. We can imagine that every minute on the court, Xu Jie is like…

The Phoenix Suns have finally risen again, securing a hard-fought victory over the Detroit Pistons with a score of 125-121, marking their second consecutive win. With a current record of 21 wins and 20 losses, they stand at 10th place in the Western Conference, just one game behind the eighth spot. Recently, the decision to bench star player Bradley Beal has been seen as a sign of surrender from the Suns. Placing a player with a $50 million annual salary in a sixth-man role is an admission of the folly of trading Chris Paul for Beal, especially when both players have similar playing styles. It's clear that many fans were skeptical when Beal joined the Suns, and it seems the team's management may not be as astute as the fans. This season, the Suns find themselves in a desperate situation, with a luxury tax of a staggering 188millionandtotalexpendituresexceeding188 million and total expenditures exceeding 188millionandtotalexpendituresexceeding400 million. If they can only make it to the play-in tournament, this would be unacceptable for the team's owner. Moreover, the Suns have no way out; their path has been cut off by the Houston Rockets, who hold most of their future draft picks. This is why the odds of Booker's next team being the Rockets are so high, as the Suns must regain their draft picks from the Rockets if they wish to rebuild. Now, the Suns have only one option left: to continue gambling, and they cannot stop. However, the Suns have made some wise moves, such as signing Jones at a low price…
