Last night's CBA games were incredibly exciting, with only two matches scheduled but both featuring dramatic comebacks that thrilled fans. One match saw Fujian men's basketball team defeat Sichuan men's basketball team 121-117, with Fujian overcoming a 15-point deficit to level and eventually win. The other match was between Guangdong men's basketball team and Guangzhou men's basketball team, where Guangdong, after becoming complacent and trailing by 19 points, staged an impressive comeback in the third quarter with a 22-2 scoring run to reverse the game. What news has emerged from the CBA outside of the court? Firstly, there is news about Zhu Fangyu of Guangdong men's basketball team. Many Guangdong fans are concerned about Zhu's daily work, as the team's small foreign aid remains unresolved. Prior to last night's game, media captured Zhu holding a pair of shoes seeking a signature from Guo Ailun, who had just returned. Given the relationship between Guo Ailun and Zhu Fangyu, it is unlikely that Zhu was seeking an autograph for himself. It could be on someone's behalf or possibly for a prize for fans, considering Zhu now spends considerable time on social media. Regardless of the reason, Zhu's action was merely incidental. However, as fans, we still hope Zhu will act quickly to find a reliable small foreign aid for Guangdong men's basketball team, as Xu Jie's playing time has been increasing significantly, reaching 48 minutes in the last game and 45.5 minutes in this one. The second piece of news concerns Zhang Ning, a player for Shanxi men's basketball team, who has…

The recently concluded snooker masters tournament has left fans feeling a mixture of excitement and regret. Ding Junhui's valiant efforts on the court were inspiring, but the eventual comeback against him was disheartening. The competition is akin to a battlefield, and it is heart-wrenching to see someone as confident as Ding falter before the world's number one player, Judd Trump. At the start of the match, Ding was at the peak of his game. His precise attacks and stable defense ignited expectations. He went on a rampage, delivering impressive shots, especially in the second round where he cleared the table with a continuous shot, demonstrating his true prowess. This was not just a display of skill but also a test of mental fortitude. Each shot seemed to declare to the audience, "Today, I am here to compete for the championship!" However, the unpredictability of the game made this hopeful dream fragile and fleeting before the Rising Star. As the world's top-ranked player, Trump bore immense pressure and expectations. Instead of being intimidated, he gradually regained his form amidst adversity. Upon entering the arena, his composure and confidence radiated, exerting significant psychological pressure on his opponents. Faced with Ding's remarkable performance, he did not give up but instead responded calmly, adjusting his tactics to gradually close the score gap. This shift captivated the audience and posed a significant challenge to Ding. As the match progressed, Ding appeared to be increasingly passive. He began making mistakes, and his once fluid shots became hesitant. Every missed opportunity dealt a significant blow to his…

Watching a game is really not something you should do if you have a favorite player, as it can be quite nerve-wracking. Honestly, when Ding Junhui played against Old Ma in the previous round and I watched him make an over-score shot in the last game, I was more nervous than he was, but fortunately, he won. This time against Xiao Te, I didn't predict the beginning or the end. Who would have thought that a 1-3 score could turn into 4-3, causing both joy and sorrow for different people! After the intermission, Xiao Te's state was indeed different; he must have used the 15 minutes to quickly find his touch. Immediately after returning, Trump was very fierce, directly winning with a single stroke, leaving no chance for Ding Junhui. There's nothing we can do; Xiao Te is just accurate, with a stronger ability to seize the opportunity to play than Ding Junhui. In the sixth round, it was really awkward. Xiao Te was still accurately on the long table, but unfortunately, there were no more chances after six points. The two entered the defensive phase, where Ding Junhui, with the help of luck, made a very good defense. Xiao Te had a good idea, preparing to hook and stick. A miraculous scene unfolded: the red ball seemed about to enter the middle pocket but stopped at the mouth of the bag. If this shot had gone in, it would have been Xiao Te's turning point, but unfortunately, he gave Ding Junhui a pocket ball. Although the ball formation was…

Translation of the content: Recently, Beijing BAIC has been having a tough time. In the last round, they suffered a crushing defeat against Beikong by 27 points in the Beijing derby. In this round, they lost another game by 10 points against Qingdao, resulting in two consecutive defeats and a continuous drop in their ranking. It's becoming increasingly difficult for them to return to the top four of the standings, and even maintaining their position in the top eight at the end of the second stage is becoming a luxury. So, what are the main problems with Beijing BAIC? This season, Beijing BAIC underwent a complete overhaul, bringing in a new coach and acquiring players like Zhou Qi and Chen Yingjun from the transfer market. Their foreign players are also stronger than last season, with a comprehensive upgrade in the lineup. It's undeniable that BAIC's performance was impressive in the first stage, but as the league progressed and they faced more strong opponents, their record began to decline. Injuries have been an unavoidable topic, but many strong teams, including Guangdong, Liaoning, Shanghai, and Xinjiang, have managed to overcome them. However, BAIC's performance has deteriorated, because compared to these teams, they lack something that prevents them from transforming into a true powerhouse. In last night's game, Zhou Qi's outburst leading to his disqualification was also one of the reasons for the loss. However, this may not be the main cause. While it's true that Zhou Qi's angry outburst against the referee was inappropriate, the referee seemed overly domineering, immediately blowing a…

It's a pity! This afternoon, the Inner Mongolia Women's Basketball team officially announced their separation from foreign player Sidman. The announcement stated: "Sidman returned to her home country to prepare for the next WNBA season, and this separation was the result of friendly negotiations between the club, Sidman, and her agency." Regardless, it's clear that Sidman will no longer be playing for the Inner Mongolia team. Since the start of this season, Sidman has played in 20 games for the Inner Mongolia Women's Basketball team, averaging 14 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 47.6% and a three-point shooting percentage of 44%. Her performance has been quite good, but now her departure has dealt a heavy blow to the already struggling Inner Mongolia team! This season, the Inner Mongolia Women's Basketball team has only managed a record of 15 wins and 8 losses, placing them fifth in Group A. This is far from their last season's record of 34 wins and 2 losses. It can be said that this season's Inner Mongolia team has been left far behind by the Sichuan Women's Basketball team, who are currently the only team in the league with an undefeated streak of 23 consecutive victories. The recent addition of big foreign player Cambage has only made the Sichuan team even stronger. Over the past four years, the WCBA championship has always been contested between the Inner Mongolia and Sichuan Women's Basketball teams. Now, with Sidman's departure, it's certain that the Inner Mongolia team's strength will be affected. After…

6-3! 6-4! The Top Four of the Masters Are Out: The World's Top Two Face Off in a Peak Match, and the Only Chinese Player Is Eliminated On January 18th, Beijing time, the last two quarter-finals of the 2025 Snooker Masters have concluded. Trump defeated Ding Junhui 6-3, and Kyren Wilson overcame Brecel 6-4. Including Murphy and Mark Allen who advanced earlier, the top four of the Masters have been determined. The two semi-finals have also been set: the world's top two, Trump and Kyren Wilson, will face off at the peak, while Murphy and Mark Allen will compete for another place in the final. Si Jiahui and Zhang Anda were eliminated in the first round, leaving Ding Junhui as the only Chinese player to reach the quarter-finals after his thrilling 6-5 victory over Mark Williams. However, in the battle for the top eight, Ding Junhui was also eliminated, losing five consecutive games and falling 3-6 to world number one Trump after leading 3-1 in total points. In the first four rounds of the first half, Ding Junhui almost seized all opportunities, making three shots over 70 points to lead Trump 3-1 in total points. However, after the intermission, Trump exploded with a frenzy, directly winning five consecutive games to reverse Ding Junhui 6-3. Throughout the game, Trump made a century break and five shots over 50 points, while Ding Junhui only had three shots over 70 points in the first half. In the entire second half, Trump continuously made single shots of 97, 53, 125, 62, and 75 points,…

On January 17, in a CBA regular season game where Qingdao hosted Beijing, Zhou Qi was ejected from the game after receiving two technical fouls just two minutes into the second half. It appeared that Zhou Qi was unable to control his emotions due to dissatisfaction with the referees, but it may have been part of a larger strategy. Previously, he always used injuries and colds as excuses, but this time he changed tactics by proactively applying for disqualification. Observing the reactions of his teammates at the time reveals the unspoken truth. This season, Zhou Qi has been inconsistent since joining Beijing, with the value of a starter and the contribution of a substitute, sometimes even falling short of bench players. After a long absence, media friends close to him spread word that Zhou Qi had twice volunteered to participate in the game, but Xu Limin, considering the player's health, did not allow him to compete while sick. This statement is both positive and warm, but the reality is far more complicated. In this game, Zhou Qi missed two free throws completely, making only 2 out of 7 attempts, which is quite amateurish. He did not gain much advantage over Yang Hanshen on the court, and instead, the young player from Qingdao caused him considerable trouble. Zhou Qi was angry and could not find an outlet for his frustration, wishing to leave the court as soon as possible. Just two minutes into the third quarter, with Beijing trailing 47:59 by 12 points, Zhou Qi fell while trying to overpower Yang…

Today is January 18th, and the last two quarter-final matches of the 2025 Snooker Masters have just concluded. Ding Junhui lost to Trump 3-6 and stopped at the top 8, failing to advance to the semi-finals, which is quite a pity. In another match, Kyren Wilson defeated Luca Brecel 6-4 to secure the last ticket to the semi-finals. The four finalists have now been determined: Shaun Murphy, Mark Allen, Judd Trump, and Kyren Wilson. As one of the three major events in snooker, the Masters has high standards and generous prizes, with only the top 16 ranked players in the world eligible to participate. The champion's prize is £350,000, the runner-up's prize is £140,000, and the player's appearance fee is £25,000. This makes it an event that many snooker athletes aspire to compete in. Among the 16 participants, there are three Chinese players: Ding Junhui, Si Jiahui, and Zhang Anda, all of whom have now been eliminated. Si Jiahui and Zhang Anda were eliminated in the first round, while Ding Junhui made it to the second round. Here are the details of the two recently concluded matches: Ding Junhui 3-6 Trump Ding Junhui's career has recently hit a low point, forming a stark contrast to his impressive debut. Apart from winning the National Championship last year, he has mostly been eliminated in the first or second rounds of other competitions, with few breakthroughs, causing heartache for many. There are already doubts about his status as China's number one snooker player. In this quarter-final, Ding was leading 2-0 but was reversed…

The Spurs are aiming to rise this season and make it to the playoffs, but the challenge is significant due to the fierce competition in the Western Conference, where numerous strong teams vie for playoff spots. Even the Suns' trio of stars can only manage to rank tenth in the West, while the Warriors sit at eleventh. The Spurs have a record of 19 wins and 20 losses, placing them twelfth in the West. To enter the Western Conference play-in tournament area, the Spurs must surpass both the Suns and the Warriors, a task that is easier said than done. Recently, there has been a remarkable breakout from a Spurs rookie, who has been averaging 26 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists per game. Coach Popovich's decision to bet on this player seems to have paid off, and the guidance of Paul has helped him quickly emerge as a key player. Currently, the most consistent performer for the Spurs is undoubtedly the first overall pick, Wenyamata, who averages 24.7 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.1 steals, and 4.0 blocks (leading the league) per game. Wenyamata has shown significant improvement in scoring this season, with impressive three-point shooting and steadily improving mid-to-long-range shooting efficiency. His defensive blocking ability is particularly sharp, even stronger than last season when he averaged 3.6 blocks per game, leading the league. This season, he maintains an average of 4 blocks per game, significantly ahead of other players. The Spurs rely on Wenyamata for their interior game and on Paul and Castle for their perimeter play. Paul…

The Beijing team lost to the Qingdao team by 10 points with a score of 89-88, suffering a two-game losing streak. This performance has left many Beijing fans disappointed, as it seems they have little hope of winning the championship or even making it into the top four of the CBA. During the game, both teams were closely matched in the first quarter, with scores neck and neck. However, in the second quarter, the Beijing team had significant defensive issues, unable to stop Qingdao's key players, leading to an increasing point difference. By halftime, Beijing was trailing Qingdao by 12 points with a score of 43-55. Why did Beijing lose to Qingdao? There are several reasons, including Beijing's poor free throw accuracy, with only 14 out of 29 attempts made for a 48% success rate. Additionally, their three-point shooting was abysmal, with only 5 out of 25 attempts successful, a mere 20% accuracy, which is clearly unacceptable. Since Zhou Qi joined the Beijing team, he has been either recovering from injuries or dealing with colds, playing very few games. In this match against Qingdao, Zhou Qi finally returned to play. His return and the anticipated matchup with Yang Hanshen excited many fans. However, Zhou Qi's performance was disappointing, as he made numerous mistakes and had a low shooting accuracy, making only 4 out of 10 attempts, a mere 40%. His free throw accuracy was also poor, with only 2 out of 7 attempts successful, less than 30%. It was even more embarrassing when Zhou Qi missed all three free throws,…
