In the glittering constellation of basketball, there are two brilliant stars - Curry and Durant, whose radiance illuminates the entire league and has sparked endless discussions among fans. Who holds a higher historical status? This is akin to a war without smoke, continuously burning on the basketball court. Curry, the legendary figure of the small-ball era, was destined to rewrite the history of basketball from the moment he stepped into the league. His games are like a splendid feast of three-pointers, each shot making the audience's hearts leap to their throats. On the court, Curry's agile figure weaves through the opponent's defense, with his adept dribbling skills as if the ball were an extension of his body. His eyes are always fixed on the basket, searching for the best shooting opportunity. When he stands beyond the three-point line, slightly bending his knees, his wrist gently flicks, and the basketball becomes a precise projectile, soaring through a beautiful arc and sinking cleanly through the net. His three-point shots are not just a means of scoring but also a display of art. Looking back at Curry's career, his statistics shine like stars twinkling in the night sky. Averaging 24.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.5 steals, and 0.3 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 47.2%, a three-point percentage of 42.5%, and a free-throw percentage of 91%. In the playoffs, he performs equally impressively, averaging 27 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.5 steals, and 0.3 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 45.3% and a three-point percentage of 39.7%.

These 5 NBA players will never go bankrupt, with the top earner turning 1millioninto1 million into 1millioninto800 million The NBA is not only the highest level of basketball competition but also a place where people can make a fortune.

Kobe, a name, a legend. Four years ago, his sudden death shocked the world and shattered the hearts of countless fans into pieces of snowflakes. Now, four years have passed, and time has slowly healed the pain, but Kobe's appearance and his indomitable Black Mamba spirit are still deeply engraved in people's memories. His wife, Vanessa, has also emerged from the depths of grief, successfully slimmed down, and regained her radiance. Today, let us once again approach Kobe, approach Vanessa, and feel that touch, that strength. January 27, 2020, for many fans, was an unforgettable day. That early morning, a helicopter crashed in Calabasas, California, killing all nine people on board, including Kobe and his second daughter, Gianna. The news shocked the world. From basketball superstars like Jordan, O'Neal, James, to celebrities from all walks of life, they expressed their condolences. Kobe's death was not only a huge loss for the basketball world but also a heavy blow to fans around the world. Kobe's life was inseparable from basketball. He started playing basketball at the age of three, and after returning to the United States at the age of thirteen, he devoted all his time to basketball training. He once said, "I am fighting with shadow enemies." This sentence showed Kobe's love for basketball and his indomitable spirit. In high school, a tutor advised him to give up basketball, thinking he had no talent in this field. But Kobe did not lose heart; instead, he turned this sentence into motivation to inspire himself. He trained even harder and eventually became…

In recent years, with the rapid progress of China's women's small ball projects, more and more people have begun to pay attention to women's sports. The Chinese women's football team, the Chinese women's volleyball team, the Chinese women's basketball team, etc., have all reached new heights in terms of attention, further confirming the saying that "women can hold up half the sky." Today, we talk about Li Meng, a Chinese women's basketball player known as "LeBron Meng." Li Meng currently plays for the Sichuan Club and led the Sichuan women's basketball team to successfully defend their championship at the end of 2024. Many observant netizens have noticed Li Meng's change, which is dyeing her previously golden hair back to black, making her look much more pleasing to the eye. Speaking of Li Meng's golden hair, it was actually dyed when she joined an overseas club to play, perhaps for a better appearance. Although this is a personal hobby, for those who like her, the golden-haired Li Meng seemed not very "clean," even with exquisite makeup, it didn't quite match her. In contrast, with black hair, Li Meng not only looks neat and tidy but also appears more beautiful and fairer visually. I believe many people share this view. I hope Li Meng will maintain this hairstyle in the future; this is her most beautiful state now!

Zhang Ben Tianjie, who joined Japanese nationality and helped Japan defeat China, now wants to return to China for development?‌ Facing the interview of the reporter, Zhang Ben Tianjie said so. Can you imagine that he used to be a Chinese person when he said this? Born in China, he went to Japan with his father when he was young. Originally thought he would come back to serve the motherland like many overseas students, but he joined the Japanese nationality. Not only that, he also represented the Japanese national team to play against the Chinese team, and even fouled the Chinese players rudely in the game. What makes him so forget his ancestors, and why does he become a target of public criticism with his talent? Immigration to Japan There is a Chinese athlete Zhang Ben Zhihe in the table tennis world, and a naturalized player Zhang Ben Tianjie in the basketball world.

"Many people are puzzled by the physical changes in professional athletes, especially in the basketball world. We've seen legendary players like Duncan, McGrady, and James, who despite being in their prime, seem to be at odds with their physical condition. Even at the peak of their careers, many players appear to have prematurely 'aged' - with graying beards, joint injuries, and prolonged recovery times that are often insufficient. For players like Shaquille O'Neal, who faced serious health issues at just 52 years old, what hidden costs lie behind such contrasts? Is there an inescapable connection between the brilliant achievements of professional athletes and their physical overexertion? For these athletes, every intense training session and competitive match seems to trade health for wealth and glory. But does the sport bring success, or does success come at the cost of their health? Today, we will delve into this topic, discussing the physical overexertion and injuries of professional athletes, revealing the immense toll they bear behind the glitz and glamour. One, the high-intensity trials of a career: the 'invisible harm' behind competitive sports. Professional athletes appear to possess exceptional physical attributes and skills that set them apart from the rest. However, it is precisely these advantages that compel them to constantly challenge their limits under extreme physical demands, sometimes even at the expense of their health. Every game, extra practice, and training that pushes beyond limits, is a consumption of the athlete's body and physiology. In high-intensity sports like basketball, players must exert tremendous athletic ability, strength, and agility on the court. This…

Perhaps you would say that Shanxi men's basketball team has always performed well, but this year's situation is quite different. Look, they have completely transformed into a dark horse, overcoming obstacles all the way and surprisingly rushed into the top four, which has indeed brought considerable pressure to other teams. Behind this situation, in addition to the overall progress of the team, there is also a person who has almost become the focus of everyone's heated discussion, and that person is Zhang Ning. To talk about it, Shanxi team's development trend this season is really full of twists and turns, not smooth sailing all the way, experiencing many ups and downs, so ups and downs, it can be said to be a roller coaster. At the beginning of the season, they were just a new army, relatively lacking in experience. Looking at the lineup, except for a few veterans, there was no big-name star that could attract much attention. However, unexpectedly, it was such a team that gradually made a name for themselves in one game after another. Especially after the two foreign aid Goodwin and Diallo joined Shanxi team, the outside firepower of Shanxi team was significantly improved almost instantly. Their precise three-point shooting and rapid counterattacks on the court really shook the entire league. In particular, Goodwin's three-point shooting is simply amazing,…

In the glittering expanse of basketball, the NBA court is akin to an arena filled with legends and challenges. Each statistical record shines like a star, drawing countless players to strive for it. Among these, the achievement of 30,000 points stands out as one of the most brilliant. Imagine, on that field brimming with passion and sweat, players repeatedly shooting, breaking through, and taking free throws. Every score is a testament to their strength and perseverance. The number 30,000 encapsulates countless nights of hard training, fierce competition, and a relentless love for basketball. It represents a player maintaining a high level of competitive state throughout their long career, continuously contributing to their team. Among the many current stars, several are on the track to challenge this great record, each with their unique story, full of challenges and hope. Let's start with Damian Lillard, the top scorer in the league, who is like a sharp sword, always shining brightly on the court. Even at 34 years old, time has not dulled his edge; he can still hit crucial shots in games and break scoring records. In a match against strong opponents, Lillard faced tight defense in the final moments. He dribbled, changed direction, leaped, and completed a super-high difficulty three-pointer that streaked across the night sky like lightning, instantly igniting the audience's enthusiasm and helping his team win. However, the harsh reality is like an insurmountable wall between him and 30,000 points. Currently, his total score is 21,794 points, quite a distance from the goal.

In the Paris Olympics, the overall performance of the Chinese women's basketball team was not satisfactory, and the poor performance of the team undoubtedly made head coach Zheng Wei the first person responsible. Although in the 2022 Women's Basketball World Cup, Zheng Wei led the Chinese women's basketball team to create history, the overall performance of the Chinese women's basketball team has declined seriously in recent years. Zheng Wei has been criticized for being too rigid and outdated in her tactical concepts, with overly simplistic tactics and poor adaptability. Her on-site command also fails to keep up with the rhythm. In terms of player selection, Zheng Wei appears overly conservative, unwilling to make changes to replace players who are in a low state, failing to adjust her selection strategies and standards in time, leading to problems in the team's personnel configuration. Additionally, Zheng Wei's on-site command is also under scrutiny, as she is unable to quickly respond to situations on the court. Therefore, her coaching ability has been widely criticized, and calls for her dismissal grew louder after the Paris Olympics. Although Zheng Wei did not resign voluntarily after the Paris Olympics, and the basketball association did not ask her to step down, it seems unlikely that she will continue to coach the Chinese women's basketball team given the current situation. So, after Zheng Wei's departure, who would be more suitable to take over the Chinese women's basketball team as the new head coach has become a focus of attention for fans. Previously, many fans called for the Chinese women's…

At the age of 36, should he retire or not? Zhou Peng gave an unexpected answer: "No retirement! I still want to play and strive for another chance." In a post-game interview, this former captain of the Chinese men's basketball team and a meritorious player of Guangdong men's basketball team firmly stated that he would not choose to leave basketball after this season but decided to return to his old club, Guangdong men's basketball team, to continue fighting for the 2025 National Games. Such an answer surprised many. After all, he is no longer the "young Zhou Peng" who could fly and dodge in the air. Injuries, age, and declining physical condition have become real problems facing him. So why does he still insist? Is it passion, responsibility, or reluctance? A 36-year-old veteran, whose career has entered its twilight, still chooses to continue fighting. What kind of story lies behind such a decision? If there is a relationship on the basketball court that can surpass the tacit understanding between teammates, it might be the trust between the head coach and the players. And Du Feng and Zhou Peng have such an unbreakable master-apprentice relationship. Zhou Peng served Guangdong men's basketball team for 16 years, becoming one of the indispensable core players, helping Guangdong win eight CBA championship trophies. During Du Feng's coaching tenure, Zhou Peng was regarded as a tactical core, always completing tasks whether it was scoring at critical moments or stabilizing the defense.
