National Table Tennis is indeed the king of traffic in the sports circle, with all kinds of people commenting on it, especially recently. A famous football journalist named He Xiaolong from a certain blog seems to have recently taken issue with the national table tennis team, constantly speaking out and commenting on it. This guy has publicly expressed his opinions again, making comments on the three golden flowers of the women's team who won the championship at the Baao Olympics. He claims that Sun Yingsha was overpraised and marketed to the point of being crippled, missing out on the women's singles gold medal at the Olympics; while Wang Manyu was suppressed and crippled, her coach was removed, causing her to lose her qualification for the Olympic singles event and suffer a great loss of vitality; only Chen Meng was in a normal state, which is why she successfully defended her Olympic women's singles title. He Xiaolong said that it is easy to understand why Wang Manyu was suppressed and beaten down. After the Tokyo Olympics, Manyu reached the peak once, defeating Sun Yingsha to win the National Games and beating Chen Meng at the World Championships, becoming the center of attention for a time. Unfortunately, her coach was replaced after that, causing her to fall from the peak into a low point. Before the Baao Olympics, her condition returned, and she thought she had a stable chance at the women's singles spot, but in the end, she lost it at the last moment. Being suppressed everywhere, it's no wonder that…

As we all know, since Yao Ming took office as the chairman of the Basketball Association and the chairman of the CBA League, he began to promote the youth basketball training plan. Although he eventually chose to resign from all his duties at the Basketball Association due to pressure from various parties, the youth training work of the Chinese men's basketball team still got on the right track under his influence. After several years of development, it has successively cultivated new-generation leaders such as Cui Yongxi, Yang Hanshen, and Zhang Zhenlin for the men's basketball team. Among them, Cui Yongxi broke the embarrassing situation that the Chinese men's basketball team had not logged into the NBA for 7 years. It is worth mentioning that after Cui Yongxi successfully pursued his dream in the United States, Yang Hanshen, the number one player of the Chinese men's basketball team, also made an important decision recently. According to multiple sources from American media, Yang Hanshen has signed with Klutch Sports agency and started preparations for the NBA draft conference in April. Here, some fans may be curious why Yang Hanshen did not choose the famous domestic agent Sui Ran but instead chose a foreign company. The answer is actually quite simple. Yang Hanshen chose more than just an agency. The operator of this company is Rich Paul, a big shot in the NBA circle and the agent of the league's top player LeBron James, who has abundant resources. Yang Hanshen signing with Rich Paul is the first step towards joining forces with James.…

Another day of public outrage has arrived. After much anticipation, the roster for the 34th Table Tennis Asian Cup has finally been announced. As expected, Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, and Chen Meng, who were originally on the invitation list, have not made it onto the Asian Cup roster. Upon the release of the list, netizens were in an uproar, with most expressing their support for Fan Zhendong. Brother Dong was initially on the invitation list, but... so his spot was taken, clearly giving his place to someone else, treating him like an outsider. In contrast to the remarks by the women's team head coach Ma Lin, the men's team head coach Wang Hao's comments have been criticized by netizens. Some netizens say, "White Gao hates Fan Zhendong more than 191, not even mentioning him, it's too heartbreaking! At least Ma Lin explained the situation with Chen Meng." Other netizens say, "In the past, there was still consideration for the master-disciple relationship, but now there can be no psychological burden in scolding White Gao." The women's team at least communicated with Chen Meng, while the men's team didn't even mention Fan Zhendong, so did the men's team not communicate with Fan Zhendong? "Wang, Lin, Liang, and Lin are currently the strongest in the team." Isn't Brother Dong part of the team? So is Fan Zhendong directly categorized as a retired player and kicked out of the team? Although there was some mental preparation, it still feels like a blow. Ma Lin maintained basic decorum and respect, but Wang Hao seems to…

On January 18th, Beijing time, the NBA officially released the last two minutes of the referee's report for the Rockets vs Kings game. The league wanted everyone to know that Dillon's two fouls were not unjustly called, and the Rockets did not get cheated in this game. Prior to this, the Rockets had been cheated twice. After losing this game, the Rockets' record stands at 27 wins and 13 losses, continuing to rank second in the West. In the first 40 games, the Rockets have achieved a record of 27 wins and 13 losses, which is the best performance in the past seven years. The last time they had a better record was in the 17-18 season with 29 wins and 11 losses, which was the team that almost defeated the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals. That year, if Paul hadn't been injured, the Rockets would likely have been the champions. Since entering 2025, the new three giants of the Rockets have begun to take shape. Jalen Green averages 30.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 2.9 assists with a true shooting percentage of 67.2%; Shen Jing averages 20.9 points, 8.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 2.1 steals; Amen averages 17.2 points, 11.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 2.2 steals. These three players have all performed exceptionally well since January. Moreover, Green is only 22 years old, Shen Jing is also 22 years old, and Amen is just 21 years old. It must be said that the Rockets have a promising future. The Houston media also wrote that it is unreasonable for the…

Can Arsenal compete for the title without a striker? This is a realistic and heart-wrenching question. The consecutive injuries of Saka and Jesus have caused the team's offensive firepower to falter, while Havertz has been described as "causing anxiety" with no contributions in attack. For a moment, Arsenal manager Arteta was pushed to the forefront of the "striker shortage." Facing the critical stage of the championship race, Arsenal, who are usually shrewd, suddenly decided to take a tough stance - they plan to spend 100 million euros to bring the "annual top scorer" Zhe Kailai Shi to the Emirates Stadium. If this transfer goes through, he will not only become Arsenal's "firefighter" but also potentially take on the title of the "100 million euro king" of the Premier League winter window. However, the question remains: can Zhe Kailai Shi withstand the weighty 100 million euros? Is Arsenal's gamble a lifesaver or a burden? This season's Arsenal almost made people relive the dream of the "invincible battleship" of the 2003-04 season. They started strongly and performed well in the Champions League group stage. However, just as things were looking up, the consecutive injuries of Saka and Jesus dealt a heavy blow to the team. Saka, in particular, is almost the soul of Arsenal's attack. Once absent, the team's counter-attacking ability seems to be drained. As for Havertz, his performance has been mediocre at best, with some shots even leading fans to doubt whether this 100 million euro signing is just "going through the motions." Arsenal currently urgently needs a killer who…

Hello everyone, take 10 minutes to talk about the Masters. The 2025 Masters is in full swing, and the top 8 players have been determined. The upper half of the draw includes Neil Robertson, Shaun Murphy, Mark Allen, and Mark Selby, while the lower half includes Trump, Ding Junhui, Kyren Wilson, and Brecel. Who is the favorite to win has become a hot topic among fans. As the defending champion who unexpectedly withdrew from the tournament, O'Sullivan also joined the discussion on this topic. O'Sullivan stated that he strongly supports Trump as the biggest winner, but questioned Mark Selby's belief in winning the championship. If Selby can firm up his belief, he has the strength to stop Trump. Undoubtedly, as the world's number one player, Trump is known for his precise long shots and smooth playing style. He is a strong contender for the championship in any event. Moreover, this season, Trump has won the Shanghai Masters, Saudi Masters, and the UK Championship, and in the 20 tour events he participated in, he has at least reached the quarter-finals in 19 of them. With such a terrifying competitive state, it's no wonder that O'Sullivan supports Trump. Many fans also support O'Sullivan's point of view. O'Sullivan believes that Trump's competitive strength and current form make him qualified to be the favorite to win every event, and the Masters is no exception. Moreover, in the first round of the game, Trump's performance further confirmed O'Sullivan's view. He easily defeated Barry Hawkins 6-1 in just 106 minutes. Apart from Trump, what about the…

On January 18, Beijing time, the NBA regular season saw the Lakers narrowly defeat the Nets 102-101 at home. The 40-year-old LeBron James had an impressive game, shooting 12 of 17 from the field and 4 of 6 from three-point range, finishing with 29 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 blocks, and 1 steal. In the final quarter, he scored 10 points and grabbed the winning rebound. James has now scored a total of 1725 points against the Nets in his career, surpassing Michael Jordan to become the first in NBA history. Due to plantar fasciitis, Anthony Davis was unable to play, leaving James to lead the team. After focusing on organizing the offense for over six minutes, James took a break. When the Lakers were hit with a 7-0 run by the Nets, he returned to the court and stopped the bleeding with a three-pointer, drawing fouls and scoring free throws, as well as nailing a buzzer-beating three-pointer. The 40-year-old James scored seven consecutive points to help the Lakers take the lead. In the second quarter, James continued to score in the paint before taking a breather on the bench, panting heavily. During his rest, Reaves took charge and led the Lakers to an advantage. With 3 minutes and 54 seconds left in the half, James returned to the court, and Hachimura sank a three-pointer. Reaves attacked the basket repeatedly, leading the Lakers on a 10-2 run to a 11-point lead. However, the Lakers then went cold collectively, allowing the Nets to go on a 5-0 run. At halftime,…

The 12th Yao Foundation Charity Game Charity Dinner was held in Hong Kong in 2024, where Yao Ming attended with his wife Ye Li and daughter. Yao Qinlei, who had not been seen in public for a long time, immediately sparked discussion upon her appearance, as the 14-year-old girl is already over 190 cm tall, earning her the nickname "the chosen basketball player." Previously, professionals predicted that this much-anticipated "strongest second generation in the basketball world" could potentially reach a height of 2.15 meters. Will she really follow in her parents' footsteps and pursue a career in sports, as speculated by the outside world? The answer to this question can actually be explored through her "parental love." Yao Ming is undoubtedly the current "leading figure" in Chinese men's basketball. His rare qualities as an athlete, such as humility, calmness, and patience, are not only the keys to his career success but also play a crucial role in his "pure love" with Ye Li, a "genius athlete." They met when they were young, with their first encounter happening when Yao Ming was 17 years old. At the shared training base of the Shanghai men's and women's basketball teams, Yao Ming felt from then on that Ye Li was the right person for him, but he did not rush to confess his feelings. Instead, he would ask for photos of the women's team after interviews with journalists to keep as mementos. The turning point from secret admiration to open courtship occurred in 1999. That year, Yao Ming finally entered the national team,…

This season, there are some surprising teams in addition to the Rockets and Grizzlies, including the Clippers! As a fragmented small ship, it is unexpected that they have managed to reach their current ranking. The Los Angeles Clippers started the new NBA season without star forward Kawhi Leonard. Despite Leonard's absence, the team has found ways to win games and maintain their ranking in the Western Conference. This proves the overall foundation of the Clippers, and everyone on the team deserves praise. Star guard James Harden has played a leading role on the court, and so far, he has excelled in leading this team. With Leonard returning to the court, the Clippers have won two consecutive games by a combined margin of an astonishing 88 points, setting an NBA record. The Clippers have re-entered the championship race! Currently, one of the biggest weaknesses of the Clippers is their size, and adding another big man could make a difference. According to insider reports, the Clippers are currently negotiating to add a multiple-time All-Star big man to address their lack of interior support. The trade will take place between Los Angeles and the Chicago Bulls, with Nikola Vucevic joining the Clippers. The details of the trade are as follows: Clippers receive: Center Nikola Vucevic Bulls receive: Guard Terance Mann, Forward PJ Tucker, a 2030 first-round draft pick, and a 2031 second-round draft pick Chicago has been trying to trade Vucevic for years as they enter a full rebuild phase. Now, the team has acquired scoring guard Mann, an expiring contract for Tucker,…

At 1:30 AM Beijing time on January 19th, Arsenal will face Villa at home. In this season's Premier League, Arsenal has performed outstandingly and is currently ranked at the top of the leaderboard. On the other hand, Villa has been in poor form recently, experiencing a streak of winless matches. Therefore, for this match, Arsenal has a clear advantage. Looking at the lineup, Arsenal boasts many accomplished players who have excelled in both offense and defense. While Villa also has some excellent players, their overall strength still falls short compared to Arsenal. Moreover, Arsenal's performance at home has always been very stable, which is one of the key reasons for their good results. In recent matches, Arsenal has achieved consecutive victories, with high team morale. In contrast, Villa has suffered consecutive defeats away from home, with their confidence taking a hit. Under these circumstances, Arsenal is more likely to win the game. Of course, the outcome of football matches is often unpredictable, and we cannot overlook the challenges that Villa may pose. However, based on the current situation, Arsenal holds an advantage in this match and is expected to secure a victory. The predicted score could be 2-0 or 3-1.
