Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin have always been a highly anticipated pair. Not only do they cooperate well on the court, but their various details off the court often become topics of conversation among fans. Especially the rumors about whether there is a romantic relationship between them, it's like a gust of wind that rises and falls among the fan base. Sun Yingsha once clearly stated on social media that from the World Youth Championships to the Olympics, Wang Chuqin has always been her best partner and friend. This is undoubtedly an official statement, seemingly trying to position the relationship between the two as purely teammates. However, the attention from fans towards them has not diminished because of this statement. Taking the recent series of events as an example, it is filled with many details that can be interpreted. After Wang Chuqin visited Universal Studios, Sun Yingsha used a limited-edition panda phone case from Universal Studios. This coincidence instantly sparked endless speculation among fans, with many people firmly believing that this was a couple phone case given by Wang Chuqin to Sun Yingsha, and the rumors of a romantic relationship quickly flared up. Faced with this situation, Sun Yingsha took a direct approach to respond. She removed the phone case and tried to extinguish the "flame" that might trigger more speculation with her own actions. This approach is undoubtedly aimed at dispelling rumors of a romantic relationship. Coincidentally, when Wang Chuqin attended the annual social media awards ceremony wearing attire worth over 1.1 million yuan, his many actions once again…

Watching the heartfelt smile of 36-year-old Russ, I sincerely wish him well. Westbrook didn't have such a smile during his time with LAL and LAC. He complements Jokic, and in the game against the Nets, Westbrook scored 25 points, grabbed 11 rebounds, and dished out 10 assists, ending the game with a powerful dunk. Meanwhile, Jokic, playing alongside Westbrook, recorded 35 points, 15 assists, and 12 rebounds, achieving another triple-double together. After the game, in an interview at the Nuggets' home court, Westbrook hadn't even started speaking when the crowd erupted into cheers for him. The Thunderous One, earning a modest $3.3 million salary, found acceptance here. Westbrook said, "Nikola is the best player in the world; he makes the game simple, and I try to make the game simple too. Our whole team plays simpler." Post-game, Mike Malone spoke about Jokic and Westbrook achieving another triple-double together: "Folks, you're witnessing history. Every game can be a moment to witness history; our games are like the 'History Channel.'" This game saw the "Six Double Brothers" set multiple records: 1. Westbrook achieved his 202nd career triple-double, continuing to break the historical record; 2. Jokic recorded his 15th triple-double of the season, leading the league, with a total of 145 triple-doubles historically, ranking third and setting a new record for centers; 3. Westbrook and Jokic became the first pair to achieve a 25+ triple-double together; 4. They tied the record for the most triple-doubles in a season by a duo (previously held by Butler and Adebayo); 5. From 2009 to 2025, Westbrook…

In today's game where the Nuggets defeated the Nets, Westbrook replaced the injured Gordon and continued to start. In this match, Jokic also made a comeback after missing two games. It was expected that with Jokic's return, Westbrook's stats would decline, but surprisingly, Westbrook once again achieved a triple-double, shooting 8 for 17 from the field, 2 for 5 from three-point range, scoring 25 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists, marking his 202nd career triple-double. At the same time, his teammate Jokic also recorded a triple-double with 32 points, 15 rebounds, and 12 assists, the second time this season, making it even more impressive that both Westbrook and Jokic achieved triple-doubles simultaneously. Westbrook played so well that the Nuggets' home crowd was thrilled. During the post-game sideline interview, the reporter immediately approached Westbrook. Before the reporter could start speaking, the entire crowd began chanting "MVP" together. The reporter gestured for applause and then requested silence, but it was impossible to quiet down. After about 30 seconds, the reporter asked, "Congratulations, winner, how do you feel about the atmosphere here?" Westbrook replied, "It's amazing, it's a blessing, thank you to all the fans, you give me endless energy." Then the reporter held the microphone towards the audience and asked, "How do you feel about having Westbrook, such a legend on your team?" The crowd erupted again, with chants of "MVP" echoing throughout. The excitement didn't stop there. The reporter continued to ask Westbrook, "You've achieved your 202nd career triple-double today, what does this mean to you?" Westbrook responded, "It's just a…

Throughout my time writing articles, I enjoy reading through some authors' works and offering different perspectives. Today, I came across an article where Kevin Garnett believes that there are only four players stronger than him at the power forward position. He ranks himself around fifth, but honestly, in my opinion, Garnett is at least a top-three power forward. After all, both Karl Malone and Charles Barkley never won championships, so they should be ranked behind Garnett. Tim Duncan is undoubtedly the greatest power forward in history. Over his 19-season career, he won 5 championships, 3 Finals MVPs, and 2 regular-season MVPs. These achievements remain unparalleled among power forwards to this day, and I believe many fans would agree. As for the second-best power forward, I would choose Garnett. His statement seems modest, but why do I rank Garnett so highly? Although Garnett and Dirk Nowitzki each have only one championship and one MVP, Garnett's other accolades far surpass Dirk's. Besides their shared championship and MVP, Garnett has been selected to the All-NBA First Team four times, the Second Team three times, earned one Defensive Player of the Year award, made the All-Defensive First Team nine times, the Second Team three times, and won four rebounding titles. In contrast, Dirk has been selected to the All-NBA First Team four times and the Second Team five times, with no other major awards. Moving on to Dirk Nowitzki, many fans consider him a single-core champion. However, in my view, he was not a single-core champion. During the 2011 championship run, Tyson Chandler, Shawn…

Recently, the final of the Ping Super League has been a hot topic, and the incident involving Wang Manyu has left many scratching their heads. How did a small controversy on the court escalate into such a situation? What exactly is going on? Let's start with the match itself. Wang Manyu raised a question about Tan Yuexuan's second jump, which is allowed by the rules, right? It wasn't intentional nitpicking, so why did it attract so much criticism? Even worse, after the game, three women chased her, hurling insults and even appearing ready to get physical! This is unacceptable. The club had to send bodyguards to escort her, a scene that sends chills down one's spine. This isn't just watching a game; this is causing trouble! The internet has erupted in outrage against these so-called "fans." What kind of fans are they? We should consider that Wang Manyu is also an ordinary person. Even as an athlete, she shouldn't have to endure such inhumane treatment. Athletes are people too, with their own emotions and feelings. They need respect, not cyberbullying! Moreover, even if Wang Manyu made a mistake during the match, does it warrant personal attacks? That goes against the spirit of sportsmanship! Some say that Ma Long also "interrupted" his opponent's rhythm during the Rio Olympics final and even went out to change clothes mid-game, yet no one criticized him. The reason is simple: he followed the rules. So what's the deal with these people now? Do they not understand the rules or are they deliberately looking for trouble?…

Recently, the table tennis world has been stirred up by a major event. The actions of Olympic champions Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng, who jointly withdrew from the world rankings, have caused a huge stir, with the focus squarely on WTT's overbearing clauses. This incident has drawn public attention to the management mechanisms of WTT. Amidst this controversy, Liu Guoliang's stance appears quite subtle. As the head of WTT World Table Tennis, he has not mentioned his own position in the face of numerous doubts, and this silence has greatly affected his reputation. At this time, Ma Long's situation is even more special. Ma Long is already at the end of his career, and the increase in age poses many challenges to his competitive state. More importantly, he has a close relationship with Liu Guoliang, and it is rumored that they also have private collaborations, which makes it inconvenient for him to publicly express his stance on this matter. "The friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water," perhaps this friendship allows their interactions to follow more the tacit understanding and respect within their hearts. However, when asked during an interview who he most wanted to challenge, Ma Long blurted out the three words "Liu Guoliang," which was undoubtedly a bombshell. Both Liu Guoliang and Ma Long are grand slam winners in the table tennis world, but they represent different eras. Liu Guoliang is the first male grand slam winner in the history of the national table tennis team, and he had a unique playing style in his era. In…

In the aftermath of Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng publicly announcing their withdrawal from international rankings, the Chinese Table Tennis Association, under immense pressure, released a statement expressing respect for the decision of these three Olympic champions—Fan Zhendong, Chen Meng, and Ma Long—to withdraw. At the time, many were puzzled as to why Ma Long chose to exit without issuing a public statement like Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng, instead opting to quietly sign a letter of withdrawal. The prevailing view at the time was that Ma Long, as the veteran captain of the national table tennis team, might have been concerned about the potential negative impact of a public announcement on the team. Given the intense public reaction and widespread skepticism following Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng's statements, a similar declaration by Ma Long could have exacerbated the situation and increased the pressure even further. However, recent investigations by resourceful netizens suggest that the matter may not be so straightforward. It has come to light through Qichacha that Ma Long had already invested in a company called Beijing Track Catering Management Co., Ltd. as early as December 2016. He contributed 600,000 yuan, holding a 4.3% stake. Among the shareholders of this company is a person named Wang Jin, who shares the same name as Liu Guoliang's wife. This individual also holds a 4.3% stake with an equivalent investment of 600,000 yuan. Looking at the equity structure, she owns shares in Qian Jian Education Technology, a company established by Liu Guoliang and Wang Nan, making it highly likely that this…

Translation of the article content into English: Li Sun officially announced that six young players will take over the national table tennis team, with Chen Meng and Ma Long being replaceable by two new players, and Liu Guoliang also supports this decision. In particular, the main players who have recently achieved consecutive victories are set to take over the national table tennis team for the Paris Olympics. There is no problem with this, as all six players have won in the WTT Mascot regular challenge match, making it a natural succession. For the men's national table tennis team, Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, and Wang Chuqin are currently facing challenges. Ma Long may find it difficult to compete in the next Olympics, and Fan Zhendong has also mentioned the need to replace older players with younger ones. Therefore, only Wang Chuqin and Lin Shidong remain capable of participating, leaving one important spot that must be given to a young player. Currently, the three male players Chen Yuanyu, Yuan Licen, and Huang Youzheng have all achieved three consecutive victories. One of them will be selected to take over as the main player for the next Olympics! At present, Yuan Licen seems to have a greater chance, as everyone knows that he has already proven himself, but has only recently been given the opportunity. In the WTT Mascot regular challenge match, Chen Yuanyu first defeated Cai Junjie from the Hong Kong team with a score of 3-1. Then, Yuan Licen delivered a 3-1 victory over Yu Henggui, followed by Huang Youzheng securing a…

Ma Long, a legendary figure in the table tennis arena, has mysteriously disappeared from the international rankings without any fanfare. This raises curiosity: as the "flagship" of Chinese table tennis, why did he choose to exit quietly without issuing a statement or explanation? Is it due to his low-key personality, or are there deeper reasons at play? In contrast to his teammates Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng, who faced the public head-on when announcing their withdrawals by releasing statements to address public opinion, Ma Long's approach seems to conceal a silent storm. The attention surrounding Ma Long's withdrawal is not only due to his status but also the timing's sensitivity. Recently, Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng's withdrawal from international competitions sparked a media frenzy, with criticism and speculation flooding the internet. In comparison, Ma Long's approach was much lower-key; he neither released a statement nor provided any external explanations. This choice indeed reduced the public scrutiny he faced and diverted attention away from him. But is this merely a simple act of "being low-key"? After netizens uncovered more information, it was discovered that Ma Long had business collaborations with Liu Guoliang, Ma Lin, and others, with all parties investing in a company called Beijing Track Catering Management Co., Ltd. From this perspective, Ma Long's withdrawal may not just be for the overall image of the national table tennis team but might involve other profound considerations. When discussing the commercialization of the national table tennis team, one cannot overlook Liu Guoliang. He is not only the spiritual leader of the team…

For a player, the age of 40 is indeed a difficult hurdle to overcome. They either retire or wander around, but there are always some independent players who remain at the superstar level, such as 40-year-old Malone and 40-year-old James. These two are among the most disciplined players in NBA history. They are truly evergreen legends. 40-year-old Karl Malone Karl Malone was selected by the NBA Jazz in the 15th pick of the 85 season. He played for 19 seasons in the NBA, serving only two teams throughout his career: 18 seasons with the Jazz and 1 season with the Lakers. His attendance rate is astonishing, with 10 out of 19 seasons being full attendance and 17 seasons having an attendance rate of around 80 games. This is something even Jordan and James, such great players, could not achieve. Throughout his career, he averaged 25+10+3 stats. In his final year at the age of 40, he joined the Lakers in pursuit of a championship title, forming the F4 with O'Neal, Kobe, Payton, and Malone. Unfortunately, he did not win the championship and retired mercilessly. At the age of 40, Karl Malone still played 40 games for the Lakers, averaging 13.2+8.7+4 stats. 40-year-old James From 03 to 10, James played for the Cavaliers; from 10 to 14, he played for the Heat; from 14 to 18, he returned to the Cavaliers; and since 18, he has been with the Lakers. Over these 21 seasons, no matter which team he joined, he was always the core player and won championships for three…
