On the night of January 16, the fickleness of fans was vividly reflected in Guo Ailun. Netizens keenly pointed out that the Liaoning fans now fully embody what it means when someone leaves and the tea cools. I originally thought that when Li Chunjiang left Guangdong, the Guangdong men's basketball team lacked sentiment, but it turns out that Liaoning fans are the same. At this time, it can be felt that Allen himself is more proactive, and mentally he knows that he needs to contribute to the team. First of all, the mentality needs to be adjusted; this is already rock bottom. Given his character, things should turn around for the better. Therefore, I believe that Xu Jie's future achievements should not be underestimated. Both Xu Jie and Guo Ailun are top-notch guards. It's normal for Guo Ailun's performance to be affected by injuries, and the same goes for Zhao Rui and Zhao Jiwei; it will be quite difficult for them to return to their peak. They also need young players like Xu Jie to quickly mature. There's no doubt that Guo Ailun's injuries have greatly affected his form; he hasn't played many official matches in the last two years, yet his career can still be considered a success. Currently, Guo Ailun's main issue is his shooting; this was always a problem when he was younger. As he gets older, he can't break through as effectively, and he doesn't have the shooting ability. In this game, he didn't score a single point; over eight games this season, he averaged 12.5…

The Shanghai men's basketball team has been able to go on a northern campaign in the second stage, moving from the bottom of the league to the top 12 playoff spots. This is not only due to the super foreign aid Lofton but also closely related to the "Li Hua brothers," Li Tianrong and Li Hongquan, who have both played their career-best this season. However, for the guard line with a lower tolerance rate, if Li Tianrong's state cannot be guaranteed, it will be difficult for Shanghai to compete with some strong teams. In the recent away game against Shanxi, which Shanghai lost by 11 points, Li Tianrong can be considered the "culprit" of the team's defeat. Throughout the game, he played for 25 minutes, missing all 10 shots (including 0-for-7 from three-point range) and scoring no points, with a team-worst plus/minus value of -22. Fans bluntly say: "Revealing his true colors." Despite knowing that he was cold-handed, Lu Wei still let Li Tianrong play for a full 10 minutes in the final quarter, during which he did not repay the coaching staff's trust with any action, going 0-for-4 in that quarter. As the current domestic backcourt core of the Shanghai men's basketball team, Li Tianrong's state, to a certain extent, also determines how far Shanghai can go in the playoffs. Unlike most teams where small foreign players occupy the absolute core, Shanghai relies on the big foreign player Lofton as the axis. Due to Blackney's failure to show up, they eventually gave up on Waters, who had average performance,…

The Chinese table tennis team participated in the Mascot Star Challenge, leaving a deep impression on everyone. The Chinese table tennis team sent many outstanding players to compete. In this competition, in addition to paying attention to the players of the Chinese table tennis team, everyone also paid close attention to Wong Chun Ting from the Hong Kong team, who is an excellent representative among Chinese players. Wong Chun Ting made his way through the rounds and reached the semi-finals in this competition. In the semi-finals, Wong Chun Ting encountered a tough opponent, Japanese table tennis star Tomokazu Harimoto. Harimoto's form remained very hot in this event. At the previous Doha Challenge, Harimoto won the championship, and he hoped to win again at this event. The semi-final match between Japanese player Tomokazu Harimoto and Wong Chun Ting attracted the attention of many fans. Initially, it was thought that Chinese veteran Wong Chun Ting had a chance to upset Harimoto, but unexpectedly, he suffered a 0-3 defeat, completely stunned by Harimoto. Seeing Harimoto's fiery form, some fans asked, "Who can beat the Japanese genius in the future?" Currently, Tomokazu Harimoto is already the best player in his age group, with no equal. Harimoto's abilities have been fully demonstrated, and he is not afraid of any young players, including China's Lin Shidong or others. Harimoto's outstanding performance has made fans optimistic about his future. The 32-year-old Chinese veteran Wong Chun Ting did not show his best form in this event, which is indeed a pity. However, being stunned by Harimoto is not…

The NBA regular season schedule for this season is more than halfway through, with fierce competition in both the Eastern and Western Conferences. There is a common point between the two divisions: the top teams, the Thunder and Cavaliers, have a significant lead over the rest of their respective conferences (more than six wins). The second-place teams, the Rockets and Celtics, also have relatively stable positions. However, from fourth place onwards, there is a chaotic battle among multiple teams. In the West, there are nine teams within a 4.5-game difference between the fourth-place Nuggets and the twelfth-place Spurs. In the East, there are six teams within a 2-game difference between the fourth-place Bucks and the ninth-place Pistons. One thing is certain: as legendary superstars like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Stephen Curry age, many mid-career and rising stars are gradually taking on greater roles. However, to be honest, before winning a championship, many teams are considered pseudo-strong, lacking the experience of the brutal playoff battles. This season's biggest contender in the West is undoubtedly the Thunder. Last season, they were defeated by the Mavericks' twin towers and the Doncic-East combo, but this season, with the addition of Hartenstein and Caruso, the team's lower limit has been significantly improved, and they rarely face significant pressure in the regular season. On the Eastern side, there are three championship contenders: the Cavaliers, Celtics, and Knicks. Especially the Cavaliers, who are widely favored by American media to succeed in the post-LeBron era. With the Celtics' aging roster and severe salary pressure, and the Knicks'…

The WTT Muscat tournament in 2025 has come to an end, with the national table tennis team delivering commendable performances. The women's singles were particularly outstanding, showcasing a collective advantage and securing both the championship and runner-up titles. In the end, Chen Yuanyu defeated Zhang Jike to claim the men's singles championship, which was of high value. Following his victory in the Doha tournament last week, Zhang Jike arrived at this event with great confidence to compete for the men's singles title. However, he ultimately lost 2-4 to Chen Yuanyu, suffering an unexpected defeat. There were three key factors contributing to his loss: Firstly, he failed to capitalize on his backhand advantage, which is his strongest suit. In this match, he did not perform well in this area, as Chen Yuanyu rarely engaged him in backhand exchanges, primarily using his forehand to counter Zhang Jike's attacks. Secondly, his forehand position was targeted. Although Zhang Jike's forehand capabilities have shown significant improvement, he was still under attack, with Chen Yuanyu repeatedly hitting straight shots that often penetrated his defense. This was mainly due to Chen Yuanyu's high-quality shots and varied placement. Thirdly, there were numerous errors. Zhang Jike made several mistakes in receiving serves, during rallies, and even in some proactive attacks, missing out on many scoring opportunities. His forehand feel was not at its best, resulting in a high number of unforced errors. Deng Yaping once commented on Zhang Jike's issues, noting his inconsistent form and his forehand as a weakness. Indeed, Zhang Jike has frequently displayed significant fluctuations in…

Compromise! Bayern agrees to add a €175 million release clause On January 17th, Beijing time, the chief editor of German media Bild, Christian Falk, and his team exclusively reported that Bayern Munich has conceded in the renewal issue with Musiala, agreeing to include a release clause of approximately €175 million. This breaks the team's historical rule as none of Bayern Munich's players have had a release clause before. However, there was no other way as Musiala held the upper hand in the negotiations. The player holds two trump cards: the German brand and being young and talented, with Real Madrid and Manchester City willing to accept him. With his contract expiring in 2026, it would become increasingly passive for Bayern entering the summer transfer window, so it is not surprising that they made concessions. However, there should be further discussion regarding salary. Previously, the media confirmed that the management agreed to give Musiala a weekly salary of €460,000, but this is based on the player agreeing to all terms and a smooth negotiation process. Furthermore, Christian Falk revealed that Müller is closer to retiring this summer. Unbeknownst to many, Müller is already 35 years old, and this season he doesn't have much left in the tank, having started 6 times and come off the bench 11 times in the league, scoring 1 goal and creating 2 assists. Bayern is willing to offer a short-term contract, provided the player agrees to a pay cut. From €20 million to €10-15 million. This shouldn't be a problem, considering Neuer is also signing a…

On January 18th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continues, let's take a look at the performance of the Western Conference teams and the latest standings changes. The main information is as follows: The Thunder lost 98-106 to the Mavericks, the Grizzlies defeated the Spurs 140-112, the Nuggets defeated the Heat 133-113, the Lakers narrowly won the Nets 102-101, and the Pelicans defeated the Jazz 136-123. The latest Western Conference standings: The first-place Thunder lost 98-106 to the Mavericks with Irving's return today. This game saw Alexander resting, and both teams played fiercely with intense confrontations and a fiery atmosphere. Multiple players received technical fouls or flagrant fouls. The Mavericks had a 41-17 run in the second quarter, while the Thunder responded with a 33-14 run in the third quarter. However, Dinwiddie's three-pointer in the final quarter helped the Mavericks pull away, ultimately defeating the Thunder 106-98. Although the Thunder lost this game, it will not affect their position at the top of the West, with a current record of 34 wins and 7 losses, leading the second-place Rockets by 6.5 games. The Mavericks ended their embarrassing three-game losing streak and are temporarily ranked 7th with a record of 23 wins and 19 losses, only half a game behind the Lakers. Irving returned, shooting 19 for 9 and contributing 25 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists, while Dinwiddie and Washington each scored 16 points. The third-place Grizzlies are closing in on the Rockets, winning 140-112 on the road against the Spurs today. Morant was absent, but Aldama shot 19 for…

NBA regular season continued with the Lakers defeating the Nets 102-101 at home, securing their second consecutive win. The Lakers started the game in mediocre form, struggling with missed shots and turnovers on offense, but fortunately, the Nets' offense was also inconsistent, allowing the Lakers to maintain a narrow 24-23 lead in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Lakers' offensive struggles persisted, relying on the Nets' frequent turnovers to gradually build a double-digit lead, which they quickly relinquished. At halftime, the Lakers held a slim six-point lead over the Nets. In the third quarter, due to LeBron James' reluctance to attack, the Lakers were quickly overtaken in scoring. However, Vincent Reeves stepped up, helping the Lakers regain their advantage. In the final quarter, both teams suddenly unleashed a barrage of three-pointers, with Reeves exploding for crucial points that ultimately secured the victory for the Lakers. With the win, the Lakers improved their record to 22 wins and 17 losses. So, where exactly did the Lakers win this game? Perhaps the data can provide some answers. LeBron James had an impressive performance, shooting 12 for 17 from the field, 4 for 6 from three-point range, and 1 for 2 from the free-throw line, accumulating 29 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal, and 2 blocks with 5 turnovers. While his efficiency was high, James' offensive aggressiveness was lacking before the fourth quarter. With Anthony Davis out, and neither Vanderbilt nor DFS playing, the Lakers relied heavily on James to carry the offensive load, which he did admirably despite the…

In January 2023, Cristiano Ronaldo joined Al-Nassr FC with a promise to bring championships to the team. Unfortunately, more than two years have passed, and Ronaldo has yet to fulfill his promise. In the early hours of today, Al-Nassr was held to a 1-1 draw, effectively ending Ronaldo's hopes for the league title. Before this match, Al-Nassr was ranked third in the Saudi Professional League. To catch up with the two teams ahead of them (Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad Jeddah), Ronaldo's team needed to secure victories in the coming games. Facing Al-Batin, a weaker opponent, Al-Nassr had a good chance to take all three points. However, Al-Nassr failed to capitalize on the opportunity. In the last moments of the first half, Al-Batin broke the deadlock, making it 1-0. In the second half, with no room for error, Al-Nassr pushed forward aggressively. Ronaldo made several attempts but could not find the back of the net. In the 63rd minute, Laporte scored a header, leveling the score at 1-1. Despite dominating the final 30 minutes, Al-Nassr could not score again, resulting in a 1-1 draw away from home. In their last four matches across all competitions, Al-Nassr has only won one, showing poor form. Ronaldo played the full match, attempting eight shots with three on target, both being the highest in the game. However, he could not contribute to the team's goal tally, ending his streak of scoring in six consecutive matches across competitions. Ronaldo also provided two key passes. After the match, Ronaldo received a rating of 7.5, ranking second within the…

The Mascot Star Challenge is currently underway, with the Chinese table tennis team sending many excellent players to compete. Among these outstanding players, there is a lot of attention on the young talents, especially the four new stars of the Chinese team: Xu Yingbin, Huang Youzheng, Xiang Peng, and Chen Yuanyu, who are highly regarded by fans hoping they can compete for the men's singles championship. Due to their failure to reach the quarterfinals in the Doha station, fans felt very disappointed. In this station, everyone had high hopes for them, but unexpectedly, three of the four players have already been eliminated, leaving only Chen Yuanyu. Some netizens expressed that the Chinese men's singles were wiped out in the previous station, so will they be wiped out again in this station? Are they going to end up with zero titles? Currently, the disconnection in the Chinese men's singles is very serious. Our young players are not the opponents of players like Zhang Jike on the court. Zhang Jike defeated the national champion Huang Youzheng with a score of 3:1 in this competition, and his leading advantage at this age is very significant. Is it going to be wiped out again? Two consecutive stations with zero titles? The disconnection in the Chinese men's singles is severe, and Zhang Jike has a significant lead. Although the Chinese table tennis team is known as an ace team, it seems that their performance in the men's singles event really makes everyone feel speechless. It is not impossible to win two consecutive championships, but now…
