On January 18th, it now appears that the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics in the United States is the only chance for Sun Yingsha, the world's number one and fan favorite, to win the Olympic singles championship. However, this is also the last chance for Wang Manyu, a formidable player on the national table tennis team! It's a pity that Sun Yingsha didn't seize the opportunity at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics and the 2024 Paris Olympics, where Chen Meng took away two women's singles gold medals! The most pitiful is Wang Manyu, who did not have the qualification to participate in the women's singles in two Olympics! Their only opponent is Zhang Benmeihe, the Japanese number one and a 16-year-old genius beauty! When two tigers fight, one must be injured! Fans can only sigh: Both are too tragic! Kuaiman and others only have the opportunity to compete for the women's team gold medal and mixed doubles gold medal qualifications. Wang Hao doesn't have an Olympic gold medal, but isn't he also a gold medal coach? Don't focus so much on Olympic gold medals! Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu both have World Championship women's singles gold medals, but they are not as important as the Olympics. The current sports circle in China only recognizes Olympic singles gold medals! In the 2028 American Olympics, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu are unknowns, and in four years, a group of young players will quickly grow up. Nonsense, Chen Meng has already been crowned in Tokyo, and in the 2024 Paris Olympics, she is the one…

Well, the recent announcement of the national table tennis team's Asian Cup lineup has really caused a stir! On January 17th, the list was announced at the last minute, and many big names were missing! Chen Meng, Ma Long, and Fan Zhendong, these three Olympic champions, were absent collectively. What's going on? Are they really going to retire? Coach Ma Lin explained Chen Meng's situation, saying that she will not participate in international competitions for the time being, but did not say when she will return. What's in the gourd? Let's talk about these absent "big shots" first. Chen Meng, a world champion with solid strength, her absence has disappointed many fans! You know, she still lacks a World Championship title. If she retires directly, it would be such a pity! However, not participating in international competitions temporarily, what's the difference from retiring directly? Looking at Fan Zhendong and Ma Long, these two are the pillars of the national table tennis team! As soon as the news came out, many people speculated that are they going to retire together? Although Fan Zhendong himself said he hasn't retired, but if he doesn't participate in international competitions all the time, isn't that the same as retiring? This is really confusing! What about the last dance promised at the Paris Olympics? Has it changed? Once this news came out, there were all kinds of speculations flying around online! However, there are also some fresh faces in this list! For example, Chen Yuanyu, Huang Youzheng, Shi Xunyao, Kuai Man and other young players have…

A seemingly ordinary basketball game turned into a spectacle due to an incident involving Chinese basketball player Zhou Qi. The headline that caught the attention of those following the match was: "Zhou Qi loses his temper, berates the referee, and is directly ejected from the court!" Beijing Auto lost their away game to Qingdao with a score of 89-99, which in itself was not an embarrassing defeat. However, what truly escalated the situation and became the focus after the game was Zhou Qi's emotional breakdown during the third quarter. During the game, Zhou Qi, the team's most relied-upon center, got into a dispute with the referee, resulting not only in a technical foul but also his ejection from the game due to continuous protest. Zhou Qi, who had just recovered from a cold, lost control of his emotions in the face of adversity, ultimately turning a potential comeback for his team into a complete failure. Looking back, was this merely a "mistake" within a single game, or does it reflect deeper issues involving Zhou Qi and the Beijing Auto team? On paper, Zhou Qi's presence had raised expectations for Beijing Auto's performance in this game. Although his return from illness left him somewhat under par, he still demonstrated his dominance in the paint with his height, physique, and technical prowess. Yang Hanshen, a 27-year-old rookie from Qingdao, faced Zhou Qi, who was seen as a promising new force. Zhou Qi clearly had the upper hand in several exchanges, as evidenced by his successful baskets and offensive dominance. Unfortunately, despite Zhou…

On January 18th, the Chinese national football team's 10-day winter training in Haikou is about to come to an end. Coach Ivan is very satisfied with the performance of the players, especially Wei Shihao. Ivan rarely praises individual players, but he praised Wei Shihao during this training camp. He believes that Wei Shihao has played a role in passing on and helping in this national team. In an interview, Wei Shihao also said, "This is the best atmosphere within our national team. I am one of the oldest in the team, so I should take good care of them." Once upon a time, Wei Shihao was still a U23 player. Nowadays, he has become the leader of the national team. Born in 1995, Wei Shihao is about to turn 30 years old. However, his experience in the senior national team has always been bumpy. Whether it was during Lippi's coaching period or later when Li Tie took over, Wei Shihao never received real importance. It wasn't until this 18-strong match that Wei Shihao enjoyed the treatment of a core player under Ivan, and he repaid Ivan's trust with his relentless spirit. Wei Shihao became famous at a young age and has always been the main player of various youth national teams, as well as the backbone of the team. However, in the senior national team, he did not make his debut for the national team until he was 22 years old. Wei Shihao, who will soon be 30 years old, has only played 34 games for the national team, scoring…

In the 2011 World Table Tennis Championships, after a fierce battle, Zhang Jike narrowly defeated his teammate Wang Hao 4-2 to win the championship. Overwhelmed with joy, he raised his head and let out a long howl, tearing apart the shirt beside him. His wild and unrestrained performance made the fans scream in excitement, and the entire scene was boiling. At the age of 23, Zhang Jike reached the pinnacle of men's table tennis for the first time. His fierce fighting style made Japanese and Korean players tremble, and Japanese entertainment reporters gave him the nickname "Imperial Tyrant Tiger," while Chinese fans affectionately called him "Tibetan Mastiff." As the world's seventh player to win the grand slam in table tennis, Zhang Jike is powerful in the sport. However, due to his outstanding abilities, he is known for being unruly and flamboyant, which also led to his downfall. In 2017, on a variety show, Zhang Jike gently wrote two letters "K" and "T" on the beach, and drew a big heart between them. Fans speculated that this guy must have fallen in love. Soon enough, Zhang Jike and actress Jing Tian announced their relationship, which shocked the entire sports and entertainment industry. Everyone envied and blessed their sweet love story. Unfortunately, this sweet love only lasted for a year before they officially announced their breakup. This was followed by a shocking revelation that Jing Tian was being blackmailed by someone who had her private photos. After Jing Tian reported the incident to the police, the person was caught and revealed that…

Recently, Zhang Jike mentioned in a live stream an unknown but highly skilled table tennis player - Hao Shuai. Hao Shuai was once hailed as one of the "Six Little Dragons" of the national table tennis team alongside Wang Hao and Chen Qi, but ultimately could only serve as a practice partner within the national team, an experience that evokes emotion. On January 18th, Zhang Jike started his live stream, saying: "Originally, when Wang Liqin played as the main force, Hao Shuai served as a practice partner. Later, when we became the main players, Hao Shuai remained a practice partner. Then, when Fan Zhendong became the main player, Hao Shuai also practiced for a period of time. But then, the young players gradually couldn't keep up with him, and Hao Shuai stopped being a practice partner." Zhang Jike's words revealed his deep regret for his old friend Hao Shuai's bumpy journey. Hao Shuai, 41 years old, was once a star player of the national table tennis team, possessing a unique left-handed horizontal grip style. His fierce offensive in the first three shots made it difficult for opponents to cope. Legendary international table tennis player Waldner once gave him high praise. In 2009, Hao Shuai helped China win the World Cup team championship, an achievement that should have earned him a place in the history of the national table tennis team. However, fate seemed to be against him, and despite his outstanding skills, he repeatedly missed the opportunity to become a main player in the World Table Tennis Championships, eventually choosing…

Recently, Liu Guoliang, the chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association (CTTA), announced an important decision, marking a significant change in the coaching staff of the national table tennis team (NTT). This decision not only affects the future direction of NTT but also has a profound impact on the global table tennis landscape. PART01 Li Sun, the current head coach of NTT, is about to end his coaching career. This meritorious coach has made tremendous contributions to China's table tennis. Under Li Sun's leadership, the women's team has maintained an astonishing championship rate of 92.3% over the past eight years. With the increase in age and the rise of new generation players, finding a suitable successor has become urgent. Currently, the top contenders for the replacement are mainly focused on three coaches: Wang Hao, Ma Lin, and Xiao Zhan. All three are excellent coaches cultivated within NTT, each with their own strengths. Wang Hao: As the head coach of the men's team, Wang Hao has achieved remarkable results in nurturing newcomers. Under his guidance, young players like Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin have quickly grown and shown strong potential. Wang Hao's coaching style emphasizes tactical innovation. At the 2022 Houston World Table Tennis Championships, the Chinese men's team defeated the German team with a decisive score of 3:0, fully demonstrating his coaching ability. Ma Lin: During his tenure as the head coach of the women's team, Ma Lin demonstrated outstanding management skills. Under his leadership, new generation female players such as Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha rapidly emerged, achieving generational…

On January 18th, Beijing time, Olympic champion Zhang Jike revealed during a live broadcast that Hao Shuai is considered the strongest sparring partner in the national table tennis team. Zhang Jike, 36 years old this year, is an Olympic champion and Grand Slam winner, and also holds the record for being the fastest player to complete the Grand Slam in history. He has now become a table tennis coach. Hao Shuai, who is already 41 years old, was once known as one of the "Six Little Dragons" of the national table tennis team alongside Wang Hao, Qiu Yike, and Chen Qi. He plays with a left-handed horizontal style, using two-sided anti-rubber loop shots, and is particularly strong in his first three attacks. He was once described by Waldner as "the most talented player among Chinese athletes." He won the 2010 Team World Cup, but has repeatedly missed out on being a main player at the World Table Tennis Championships. He is still playing in Japan. During a live broadcast teaching session, Zhang Jike mentioned Hao Shuai. He said, "When Wang Liqin was the main player, Hao Shuai was the sparring partner. When we were the main players, Hao Shuai was still the sparring partner. When Fan Zhendong became the main player, he also sparred for a period of time, but later he stopped sparring because none of them could win against Hao Shuai." This sounds somewhat heart-wrenching, as Zhang Jike acknowledged Hao Shuai's strength, but he has never been an absolute mainstay of the men's national table tennis team.

The data generated by rebuilding teams can be misleading, and many NBA executives are not easily fooled. Initially, the Houston Rockets wanted to exchange Christian Wood for two first-round draft picks, but no team was willing to pay that price. In the end, the Rockets had to accept the Mavericks' offer, receiving a late first-round pick and several expired contracts of little value. Now, the Nets have allowed Cameron Johnson to put up impressive numbers and are looking to sell him at a good price. Forbes NBA reporter Evan Sidery revealed that the Nets are not in a hurry to trade Cameron Johnson, as they believe there will be teams willing to offer two first-round picks. New York media reported that if they could obtain a first-round pick plus a promising rookie, the Nets would consider trading away Cameron Johnson. Cameron Johnson is averaging 19.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3 assists per game this season, shooting 49.9% from the field and making an average of 3.2 three-pointers per game with a 42.8% three-point shooting percentage. The Houston Rockets need excellent shooters, and Johnson is considered their trade target. On the other hand, Shepard's performance in the G League, scoring 49 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 steals in a single game, has caught the attention of the Nets. The Nets and Rockets have a good relationship, having made multiple trades in the past. However, the Nets' attempt to make a 1-for-3 trade was rejected by the Rockets. NBA journalist Brett Siegel disclosed that the Nets hoped to acquire Shepard,…

Houston Rockets have shown impressive offensive and defensive capabilities this season, securing the second-best record in the Western Conference. Their rebounding statistics and defensive efficiency rank among the top in the league. Coach Udoka emphasizes that strong defense is crucial for increased playing time, a principle that has helped develop the team's young talent. Despite their defensive prowess, the Rockets are perceived as lacking in offensive power, particularly in clutch situations, which some believe hampers their championship potential. The scoring issues for the Rockets are being addressed by their star player, Jalen Green. Drafted with high expectations due to his exceptional talent, Green's NBA journey has been marked by ups and downs, leading to criticism about his consistency. However, his recent performances have been nothing short of spectacular, earning him recognition as a potential superstar. According to ESPN's data experts, Green has averaged 31.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.2 assists over the last seven games, with shooting percentages of 53.5%, 50.0% from three-point range, and 94.1% from the free-throw line. He is the only player in the league to average 30 points with such high efficiency in all three categories. His scoring has been consistent, with at least 25 points per game since the start of 2025, and his mid-to-long-range shooting accuracy has significantly improved. In key matchups against strong opponents like the Memphis Grizzlies and Denver Nuggets, Green has delivered outstanding performances, scoring 42 and 34 points respectively. His ability to outperform opposing stars like Ja Morant has been particularly noteworthy. Even in a game against the Lakers, he…
