On January 15th, Beijing time, the Atlanta Hawks faced off against the Phoenix Suns, with the Suns ultimately falling short in a 117-122 defeat. Suns forward Kevin Durant was in excellent form, his shooting hot as he repeatedly made mid-range shots, helping the team overcome a 12-point deficit to take the lead. However, in the final quarter, the Hawks capitalized on their superior offensive play to defeat the Suns. In this game, Durant's performance was comprehensive, scoring 31 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks, and also setting a new historical record, becoming the seventh player in NBA history to achieve this feat in 78 years. During the first half of the game, Durant's shooting was extremely hot. For example, when facing this year's number one draft pick, Lissa Xie, in the low post, he easily scored a 2+1 highlight goal. By halftime, Durant had already accumulated an impressive 13 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 blocks. Despite this, the Suns remained behind on the court. Now at 36 years old, Durant still carries the heavy responsibility of the team on his shoulders alone. However, the team's recent situation has been less than ideal, with their ranking slipping from the top of the Western Conference to hovering around the 10th place in the play-in tournament. It is not difficult to see that this veteran is filled with unwillingness, determined to prove that he still possesses the ability to lead the Suns to victory! Sure enough, entering the third quarter, Durant's state exploded, unleashing a full offensive…

007 Manchester United vs Brighton Manchester United will face Brighton at Old Trafford. The significance of this match lies not only in the points but also as a test of United's recent form. Despite United's stunning comeback in the last league game, beating Southampton 3-0, fate seems to have tilted slightly in favor of this traditional powerhouse once again. However, against Brighton, whether United can continue this momentum remains uncertain. According to statistics, Brighton has held a certain advantage in historical encounters. Since their promotion to the Premier League in 2017, the two sides have met 15 times, with United leading slightly at 8 wins and 7 losses. However, in recent years, Brighton has always managed to find opportunities against United, especially on the leaderboard, where they have frequently taken the lead, making people look forward to this match. It is worth noting that this is the sixth time Brighton has faced United with a lead in the standings. In the previous five encounters, they won three. This historical background undoubtedly adds an element of uncertainty to the upcoming confrontation. Although United achieved excellent results in their most recent game, the team's overall attacking power is still insufficient. They have only scored 26 goals in 21 league games, averaging 1.24 goals per game, which appears quite weak in the league. Under Amorim's tactical system, although United's attack has made some progress in terms of information management and individual ability enhancement, efficiency still needs to be further improved. In contrast, Brighton has been more active in the offensive end, scoring 32…

The team gradually established a double-digit lead, and in the final quarter, Liaoning continued to miss shots while Zhejiang maintained their advantage until the end, successfully winning the game at home. In this game, Zhejiang's two foreign players, York and Jones, were in hot form. Jones scored a comprehensive 25 points, 16 rebounds, and 4 assists, while York scored 31 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists, sinking 8 three-pointers from outside the line. Among them, in the second quarter, York went crazy, shooting 9-for-7 and scoring 23 points, including 7-for-6 from beyond the arc.

Entering the second half, although York's shooting touch declined, he was still able to hit key three-pointers. His performance was crucial to the team's victory in this game. Other players, Wu Qian missed this game, but Cheng Shaipeng stepped up, coming off the bench to score 22 points, including 12 in the final quarter, and also sinking a key three-pointer to help the team secure the win.

"It is a pity that Ito Mima was not selected for the Paris Olympics, and we won't be able to see her compete against Sun Yingsha. The Japanese team has chosen Zhang Benmei in hopes that she can defeat the Chinese team and help win the gold medal." The Japanese table tennis team, a formidable opponent of the national team, has announced their roster for the Paris Olympics. Notably, they have chosen 15-year-old Zhang Benmei as the third member of the women's team, which is a bold decision. What reasons led the Japanese team to choose Zhang Benmei over Ito Mima, a two-time Olympian and the only current Olympic champion on the Japanese team? Japanese women's team head coach Watanabe Takehiro provided an answer, with one key point being Zhang Benmei's victories over Sun Yingsha in women's doubles and mixed doubles events. As Watanabe said, "During the selection process, he was very troubled because Ito Mima is an Olympic gold medalist and an excellent player. However, considering her performance last year, Zhang Benmei has been more outstanding." Watanabe further explained, "At last year's Asian Games, Zhang Benmei teamed up with Kihara Miyuu to defeat the former world champions (Sun Yingsha/Wang Manyu). At the end of last year's Chengdu Mixed Team World Cup, she partnered with Tohsho Aruga to defeat the world number one (Sun Yingsha/Wang Chuqin), achieving remarkable results." From Japan's choice of Zhang Benmei, it seems they are betting on her performance in the women's doubles at the Olympics. Watanabe stated that his focus in choosing the third member…

The Chinese table tennis team has just concluded the Mascot Star Challenge, leaving a deep impression on everyone. In this competition, the Chinese team won both the men's and women's singles championships. Notably, in the men's singles, the young Chinese player Chen Yuanyu, aged 19, fearlessly faced strong opponents and ultimately defeated Tomokazu Harimoto 4-2 in the final to claim the title. In the new Olympic cycle, Harimoto has become the main competitor for the Chinese table tennis team. Therefore, the primary task for the Chinese team in this new Olympic cycle is to cultivate young players, hoping that they can quickly grow and counter Harimoto. Currently, Chen Yuanyu has shown great skill in dealing with Harimoto, but another player, Lin Shidong, seems unable to handle Harimoto. Lin Shidong has faced Harimoto five times in his career, losing four times. His only victory was a narrow 3-2 win. Each time Harimoto plays against Lin Shidong, he manages to dominate the court, leaving Lin Shidong with few opportunities. Some netizens believe that based on Lin Shidong's current performance, it is difficult for him to carry the flag for men's singles. Having lost four out of five matches to Harimoto, Lin Shidong's record is indeed awkward, leading many to think he cannot carry the flag. However, Lin Shidong is very young, and there are still opportunities for him to prove himself in future competitions. Fans will cheer for Lin Shidong, believing that this talented youngster can grow and succeed. During the Mascot Star Challenge, Chen Yuanyu set a good example for Lin…
