Currently, the Shandong Taishan team is preparing for the off-season in Shanghai. For the Taishan team, this off-season is very important. The team needs to seize the opportunity to strengthen itself. According to media reports, two new foreign players are about to join the team, which means that the Taishan team will have a total of 5 foreign players. In the new season, the Taishan team must not suffer any more losses in terms of foreign aid. In terms of domestic players, the Taishan team has not yet made any significant signings. Previously, there were rumors that Zhong Yihao would join, but he has not arrived yet and is currently training with the Henan team. It seems that the possibility of him joining the Taishan team is becoming smaller and smaller. Among the new domestic signings, only Tang Chuang is currently training with the Taishan team. Tang Chuang's joining could actually enhance the strength of the Taishan team in the center forward position, giving Choi Kang-hee more options. However, although Tang Chuang has been with the Taishan team for some time, the club has not officially announced his signing. It can be said that Tang Chuang is still in the trial stage. Recently, according to media reports, there may be changes in Tang Chuang's joining the Taishan team. According to media personality Miao Yuan, there are indeed variables in Tang Chuang's joining the Taishan team. His role is to compete for the substitute forward position. Although his performance last season was well-received, it seems that Tang Chuang may not be…

On January 19th, Beijing time, the final day of the 2025 India Open Badminton Championships, the men's singles final took center stage with Olympic champion Viktor Axelsen facing off against Hong Kong's rising star, Lee Cheuk Yiu. In the end, Axelsen dominated with a 21-8 score in one set, winning both sets 2-0 to defeat Lee and secure his title, avenging his surprising first-round loss to Lee at last week's Malaysia Open! During his prime, Axelsen was indeed unstoppable. However, as he has aged, his technical abilities have declined, giving rise to several "dragon slayers," with Lee being the foremost among them. At the previous Malaysia Open, Lee caused an upset by eliminating Axelsen in the first round. At this India Open, Lee continued his excellent form, consecutively defeating Kento Momota, Brice Leverdez, Chou Tien Chen, and Wang Tzu Wei to reach the finals. In the semi-finals, after losing the first set, Lee fought back to win two consecutive sets and reverse the match against China's top player, Wang Tzu Wei, leaving a deep impression with his powerful smashes. In this match, Lee initially suppressed Axelsen's backhand overhead, exploiting his slow turning speed, achieving good results. However, as the game progressed, Axelsen also became aware of this, transitioning from defense to offense, gradually reversing the situation, overtaking the score, and maintaining his lead to win the first set 21-16. In the second set, Axelsen completely controlled the game, with Lee falling further behind in points and gradually losing his fighting spirit. Axelsen won the set 21-8 in a strong comeback,…

On January 16th, 2025, Beijing time, what seemed like an ordinary day became exceptionally brilliant due to 11 thrilling games. Western powerhouses such as the Lakers, Warriors, and Clippers took the stage, and the Western standings experienced significant changes after the matches, causing fans' hearts to rise and fall. Let's start with the Lakers' game, where they faced the Heat at home without Butler. For the Lakers, who had suffered three consecutive losses, this match was akin to a "life-and-death battle." However, no one could have predicted that the Heat would suppress the Lakers throughout the first half, leading by as many as 14 points and still ahead by 12 at halftime. Just when everyone thought the Lakers were about to suffer another defeat, the Lakers in the second half seemed to awaken a "sleeping beast." They made up 10 points in the third quarter and went on a scoring spree in the fourth, winning the quarter by 11 points and ultimately completing a great comeback with a 9-point advantage. LeBron James was in top form, shooting 9 for 15 to score 22 points, 5 rebounds, and 9 assists, while Anthony Davis was not to be outdone, shooting 10 for 21 to score 22 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 assists. Rui Hachimura was even more efficient, shooting 9 for 15 to score 23 points and 8 rebounds. After the victory, the Lakers' record improved to 21 wins and 17 losses, jumping from seventh to sixth in the West, which undoubtedly gave the team and fans a strong boost. The Clippers,…

It was unexpected that the "Gold-inlaid Jade" medals from the 2008 Beijing Olympics would return to the public eye in such a unique way. Recently, news of about 100 Paris Olympic medals being returned due to severe oxidation has caused quite a stir, which is a significant embarrassment for any Olympic Games. Athletes train hard for years and strive to bring back Paris Olympic medals to their countries, only to find that Paris Olympics have arranged a "defective product" for them, which is truly speechless. This is not the first time the Paris Olympics have reported problems with medal quality. During the Paris Olympics, athletes who had just received their medals noticed that the quality seemed unsatisfactory. Subsequently, more athletes posted that their Paris Olympic medals also showed signs of wear and discoloration, giving the impression that the medals were not as good as they should be, but rather rough. An athlete who also won a medal at the Paris Olympics even shared his "battle-damaged medal," which looked so worn out in the photo that it was barely recognizable. He even jokingly compared this Olympic medal to an "antique relic" of a century-old object, which made him somewhat tearful. This also reminds people of the "accidentally trending" gold-inlaid jade medal from the 2008 Beijing Olympics. In 2021, Russian rhythmic gymnast Daria accidentally started a fire by lighting a candle at home. Although she and her cat were safe, the house was burned beyond recognition. However, amidst the wreckage, something shiny caught Daria's attention, and when she picked it up, it…

On January 19th, Beijing time, two remarkable pieces of news about the Los Angeles Clippers have emerged. The entire Clippers team is campaigning for Harden and Powell. Despite Leonard's long-term absence, the Clippers have managed to maintain a high ranking in the Western Conference, with James Harden and Norman Powell playing significant roles. Currently, Harden ranks sixth among Western Conference guards in voting, while Powell has not made it into the top ten. However, the entire Clippers organization, including head coach Tyronn Lue and Leonard, believe that both players deserve an All-Star spot this year. This season, Harden averages 22 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 8.1 assists per game, while Powell averages 24.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.6 assists. They have been instrumental in maintaining the team's performance. Especially Harden, who has been the backbone of the Clippers, leading the team forward. The Clippers are seeking to trade Zhao Si from the Nets. According to American media reports, as the team continues to perform well, Clippers owner Steve Ballmer's desire to win a championship has been reignited, and previous plans have been completely scrapped. Ballmer firmly believes that as long as Leonard remains healthy and Harden stabilizes the situation during the regular season, the team will be able to make a significant impact in the playoffs. To this end, the Clippers are discussing a trade with the Brooklyn Nets regarding Nicholas Claxton (Zhao Si). Claxton is an old friend of Harden's, and if the Clippers can successfully acquire him, it would strengthen their weakest link. Currently, apart from Zubac, Bamba is…

Guangdong Offers Lakers Cast-off, Shandong Core Injured! Shanxi Replaces Foreign Aid, Guo Ailun in Poor Form After failing to agree on salary with Tofas guard Russell, Guangdong men's basketball team has officially offered a contract to former Lakers player Olivari, who stands at 1.91 meters tall. Olivari previously had a two-way contract with the Lakers and was recently cut, so he is currently looking for a new team. Zhu Fangyu's move at this time is well-timed; however, other CBA teams have also made offers to Olivari. Whether Guangdong can outbid them will depend on Zhu Fangyu's negotiating skills. Many Guangdong fans believe that even if a new signing is made now, it won't be in time for the second stage of the competition, so they suggest waiting until the NBA cuts players in February to find a better small foreign aid than Olivari. However, this idea is mistaken. Although many NBA teams will eliminate players at that time, European teams and CBA teams will also be looking for good foreign players at that point. According to the current CBA policy of four quarters and seven foreign aid appearances, what matters is the financial strength of each club. There are many teams in the league with more funds for foreign aid than Guangdong men's basketball team. Even if there are good players available at that time, it will be difficult for Guangdong to get them. Therefore, seizing the opportunity when a suitable player appears is Zhu Fangyu's wisest choice. It was originally thought that after a one-game suspension, Chris, the core…

Following their victory over the Brooklyn Nets with a staggering 59-point margin, the Portland Trail Blazers were unable to escape the suffocating defense of the Los Angeles Clippers, which has now reached its peak. To appreciate this pressure more directly, the NBA has released the latest team power rankings. Apart from the Oklahoma City Thunder, who dominate both offensively and defensively across the league, the Clippers' offensive performance is not as impressive as their defense. In the past six games, their defensive efficiency ranks second in the league. Although there is still a significant gap with the Thunder, they have achieved a level that other championship contenders find hard to match. Currently, the Clippers' record stands at 23 wins and 17 losses, placing them fourth in the West, a result that continues to earn them the admiration of many fans. During the offseason, two All-Stars, Westbrook and Paul George, left without compensation, and Leonard, who had renewed his contract early, suffered a knee injury at the start of the season. Faced with a lineup missing three major scoring points, Tyronn Lue placed all his hopes on James Harden, expecting him to transform into the 2018 MVP, and he responded with an average of 21.4 points and 8 assists per game. Even though the 35-year-old Harden no longer possesses his previous scoring explosiveness, his ability to organize offense remains unparalleled. When initiating pick-and-rolls, the characteristics of Zubac and K.Jones are greatly highlighted, making scoring easier. The former even delivered a double-double with 15 points and 12.5 rebounds, significantly enhancing his value…

This year, the domestic professional league will see eight teams from Guangdong Province on the field. These eight teams are Meizhou Hakka, Shenzhen New Pengcheng, Foshan Nan Shi, Guangdong Guangzhou Leopard, Shenzhen Youth, Guangdong Mingtu, Guangzhou Dandelion, and Shenzhen 2028. Although Guangzhou Evergrande, which once dominated the football scene in Guangdong, is no longer as glorious as it used to be, Guangdong football as a whole still firmly occupies an important place in Chinese football. The Guangzhou team, which once dominated the Chinese Super League, is now facing the crisis of dissolution due to failing to pass the entry review. This team has won the AFC Champions League twice and the Chinese Super League championship trophy eight times, making it a veritable top club. However, its fate remains uncertain. However, given the current situation, Guangzhou team is not completely hopeless and there is still a possibility of regaining life. They have pinned all their last hope on Guangzhou Dandelion Club. The origin of Guangzhou Dandelion can be traced back to Guangzhou Anhua. Its establishment process is as follows: after the dissolution of Guangzhou City (formerly known as Guangzhou R&F), investor Pan Weisi acquired the related youth teams, thus Guangzhou Dandelion was born. It started its journey from amateur leagues and then worked hard step by step to achieve promotion, successfully entering the China League Two in the 2025 season. When it was confirmed that they could be promoted to League Two, Dandelion also considered acquiring high-quality assets from Guangzhou Club, but at that time, Guangzhou team still had the possibility…

When asked if Ronaldo is stronger than the two prides, Vieira doesn't think it's a question. He simply says, "I've never seen a player like him. When he played for Barcelona, he was like a robot, capable of controlling everything. Even in training, when we lacked motivation, he could still control everything." Vieira adds, "Baggio could do it when he was young (but not as he aged), let's see how Ronnie does it. He pretends to dribble past you, then stops and waits for you, dribbles one, two, three, and scores! In other words, he can do whatever he wants." Vieira transferred to Inter Milan for a record-breaking fee of 30 million euros, and his first words to Ronaldo were, "I'm here because I want to play with you!" Reflecting on the past, Vieira sighs, "Everyone has their own characteristics. Players like Roberto Baggio, Del Piero, and Totti no longer exist. It wasn't until today, 20 years later, that I truly realized the high level of Serie A at that time!" Even in the highest level league at that time, Vieira still believes that Ronaldo in his prime was the ultimate form of the strongest player, and he has yet to see anyone as strong as him. Vieira has many classic remarks praising Ronaldo. He once said that his teammate possesses all the techniques of a footballer, and he never felt inferior to others until he met Ronaldo. "I am friends with Roni. He has everything a player could have. His explosiveness and speed are top-notch. I am lucky to…
