Crimes against the world are numerous-the beginning of American military hegemony

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 6th (international observation) Crimes against the world are numerous — — The beginning of American military hegemony

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Liu Si Zhu Ruiqing

  "This country was established through a ruthless and soul-destroying war. Only by recognizing this can we understand the past and present of the United States. " Holger Hawke, a German historian, wrote in The Scar of America: The War of Independence and the Violent Gene of American Politics.

  The history of the founding and development of the United States coincides with its historical pace of war and expansion. Since its independence for more than 240 years, the United States, with its colonial genes and imperial dreams, has evolved from a new political power in a corner of North America to a global military hegemony through continuous wars and military expansion, and has used hegemony to bully and bully.

  Countless facts tell the world that America’s military hegemonic behavior of bullying and usurping power violates the general trend of peace and development, brings great catastrophe and endless harm to many countries, is the main source of world unrest and the biggest challenge that threatens the civilization and progress of human society.

  "Destiny is Destined by Heaven": Spiritual Hypothesis Supporting Hegemony

  The United States boasts itself as a "city on the top of a mountain", while Americans regard themselves as "God’s voters" and think that the United States is a country with a "destiny". For hundreds of years, Americans have given so-called "legitimacy" and "sanctity" to American military expansion and hegemony.

  According to the report "The Origin, Reality and Harm of American Military Hegemony" issued by Xinhua News Agency’s national high-end think tank (referred to as the report), the United States relied on force to expand continuously, and used the US-Mexico War and the Spanish-American War to expand westward and seaward. After two world wars, it rose to become a global superpower and formed a dominant unipolar hegemony after the Cold War. In the process of the United States moving towards global military hegemony, the theory of "Destiny by Heaven" has always provided a mental hypothesis and an excuse for action for the United States to develop and consolidate its military hegemony, and has constantly influenced American policies and behaviors — — It is not only the basis and excuse of using military means to expand territory and violently persecute aborigines in American history, but also the ideological root of the United States’ struggle for world dominance, exporting values and foreign military intervention since the 20th century.

  George Herring, an American diplomatic scholar, once pointed out that from expelling Native Americans, seizing one-third of Mexico’s territory, colonizing Filipinos and Puerto Ricans, and invading Iraq in 2003, "the United States ‘ Great mission ’ The understanding has been used to rationalize its military expansion. "

  In addition, Americans are constantly trying to find a theoretical basis for their own expansion behavior. Social Darwinists in the United States say that countries, like nature, follow the law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest. Scholars of international relations put forward hegemonic stability theory, democratic peace theory and so on, advocating that the unipolar system of the world led by the United States can bring lasting peace.

  The report holds that, in fact, these arguments can’t stand the test of history and reality. No matter how they are changed, they are all theories that defend and serve the military hegemony and interests of the United States, and their core reflects the imperial thoughts of the United States of belligerence, expansion, intervention and moral whitewash.

  Soft and Hard: Various Means to Maintain Hegemony

  "War has become an inseparable part of this country’s history. Rather than saying that the United States has been at war since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, it is better to say that the war itself created the United States. The war fought by the United States has made the United States today and will also shape the future United States. " French historian Thomas Rabineau described the "unbreakable" relationship between the United States and the war.

  War and military action are the most direct means for the United States to maintain its military hegemony. In its more than 240-year history, the United States has not fought for less than 20 years, making it the most combative country in the history of the world. Through successive wars, the United States laid military bases covering the whole world as strategic anchor points to control the world, regarded Latin American and Caribbean countries as "backyards", controlled the geopolitical throats of Eurasia such as the Middle East, deployed troops to Africa, and controlled important resources and raw materials by military means.

  According to a 2021 study by Quincy Institute of Governing the Country, an American think tank, at present, the United States has 750 military bases in 80 overseas countries and regions, almost three times the number of American embassies, consulates and missions abroad, and the annual operating cost may be as high as 55 billion US dollars. Since 2001 alone, overseas military bases have supported the United States in launching wars or military operations in at least 25 countries.

  The report pointed out that in order to maintain global military hegemony, the United States not only directly controls it by launching or intervening in wars, laying a global network of military bases, but also indirectly controls it by building an alliance system and using rules and mechanisms.

  Marked by the establishment of NATO in 1949, the United States began to build a military alliance, and then established bilateral alliances such as the United States, the Philippines, the United States and Japan, and the United States and South Korea, in an attempt to gain the overall military strength advantage through alliance so as to deter opponents and realize their own political and security interests. Nowadays, more and more countries find that the alliance system is actually a tool for the United States to maintain military hegemony, and as an "ally", it has to obey the will of the United States. As Sevim Dagdelen, a member of the German Bundestag, said, "What the United States wants is not an ally, but a loyal servant."

  Various rules and mechanisms are another important means of stealth control in the United States, such as using laws and regulations such as the Export Management Regulations and the Arms Export Control Law to build a dual-use and military export control system; Establish legislation in specific areas such as the Atomic Energy Law; Establish or lead multilateral mechanisms such as Paris Coordinating Committee, Missile Technology Control Regime and Wassenaar Arrangement. The existence of these international rules and mechanisms essentially serves American security interests.

  In recent years, Americans have also concocted the phrase "rules-based international order" to beautify packaging hegemonism. Alexander gusev, director of the Russian Institute of Strategic Planning and Forecasting, pointed out that the United States deliberately keeps the definition of "rules-based international order" vague, because the less specific these so-called "rules" are, the more it can "dress up" them at will. Once a country violates the will of the United States, the United States will accuse it of "violating the rules" and there is reason to punish it.

  Endless harm: the disaster caused by the abuse of hegemony

  "We can have a special national flag — — Our country can do the same: we can just keep our usual national flag, paint the white stripes black and replace the stars with skull symbols. " In 1901, Mark Twain, an American writer, wrote such words to condemn the imperialist behavior of the United States in waging war and bloody slaughter in the Philippines.

  The chariots driven by American military hegemony have brought endless harm. The war to conquer Indians directly wiped out millions of Indian population; In the colonial war in the Philippines, 200,000 to 1 million Filipinos died; In the Korean War, more than 3 million civilians died; In the Vietnam War, 2 million civilians died; In the Iraq war, 200,000 to 250,000 civilians died … … According to the figures released this year by Brown University’s "War Cost" project, after the "September 11" incident, the United States launched wars or "anti-terrorist actions" in at least 85 countries around the world, which directly led to more than 940,000 deaths, including 432,000 civilians, and 38 million people were displaced or became refugees.

  As Walter Russell Meade, an American scholar and professor at Bard College, said, "The United States is the most dangerous military force in the history of the world."

  American military behavior in the world not only directly caused huge humanitarian disasters, but also brought a series of complex social problems including social unrest, refugee tide, psychological trauma, ecological crisis and so on.

  For example, the US military left about 350,000 tons of explosive bombs and mines in Vietnam, and it is estimated that it will still take 300 years to completely remove them. From 2002 to 2016, there were at least 270 environmental pollution incidents at three US military bases in Okinawa, Japan, most of which were not notified to the Japanese government. In May, 2022, the US military base in Longshan, which South Korea is recovering, was seriously polluted by exposed soil and groundwater. The Ministry of Environment of South Korea found that the total petroleum hydrocarbons in the soil of the dormitory site in Nanyingqu of the base exceeded the standard by 29 times, and the carcinogens benzene and phenol in the groundwater exceeded the standard by 3.4 times and 2.8 times respectively.

  According to the data released by the Watson Institute of International and Public Affairs of Brown University in 2019, since the global war on terrorism in 2001, the US military has produced 1.2 billion tons of greenhouse gases in the process of equipment and deployment, combat operations, weapons manufacturing, etc. "It is one of the largest greenhouse gas emitters in the world".

  American military hegemonic behavior has brought disasters to all countries in the world, but also brought serious trauma to the United States itself. Rabineau pointed out in the book "American War Culture" that almost every generation in the United States has swallowed the evil consequences of the political, economic and social chaos caused by the war.

  According to the data of Brown University’s "War Cost" project, more than 7,000 American soldiers and about 8,000 American defense contractors were killed in the war launched by the United States after the "9.11" incident. More than 30,000 American soldiers committed suicide, which is four times the number of people killed in the battle. The sky-high military expenditure invested by the United States to maintain military hegemony has also put an increasingly heavy burden on American nationals. After 2001, the war-related expenditure in the United States has exceeded 5.8 trillion US dollars. More importantly, America’s military hegemony and foreign war acts have bred and encouraged extremist forces and self-consumed, and the "9.11" incident is a typical case.

  "It is for the United States to build a country in war, expand in war and dominate in war." The report writes that the military expansion of the United States continues today, and American military hegemonism is still bullying and destroying the world we live together.

The study of cultural history should have macro-consciousness

Author: Yang Shaowei, Master of Arts, China Academy of Art

When it comes to the cultural history of China, it is necessary to understand the specific meaning of this term first. What is China culture? What is cultural history? Mr. Yuan Xingpei wrote a set of two volumes of Light of Chinese Civilization, and Dr. Wu Jun, as a leading figure in the computer field, also published a set of Light of Civilization. From the title, we can see that their emphasis is on the keyword "civilization". Therefore, distinguishing the difference between "culture" and "civilization" is the premise of talking about culture, and then it can be called "cultural history".

The Light of Civilization by Wu Jun.

So, what is culture? What is civilization? In The Light of Civilization, Dr. Wu Jun mainly analyzes English roots. The word "Civilization" comes from the root word Civil, that is, the meaning of city. There are two criteria in western academic circles: one is the emergence of class, and the other is the emergence of city. Compared with "civilization", the definition of culture is loose and complicated. The word "Culture" in the west means farming and breeding, that is to say, when human beings settle down, they begin to have culture with agriculture and animal husbandry. When introducing the ancient society in China, we often use the words "Yangshao culture" and "Longshan culture" instead of the word "civilization". It should be said that this description is scientific and accurate. Some old historians, such as Mr. Qian Mu’s Introduction to the Cultural History of China, have made a perceptual and macroscopic interpretation of China’s culture and civilization. Mr. Qian Mu believes that civilization is outward and belongs to the material aspect, and civilization can spread and accept outward. However, cultural bias belongs to the spiritual aspect, which must be produced by the spiritual accumulation within the group. Culture can produce civilization, but civilization may not produce culture.

China culture is reflected in the whole history of China, and it is impossible to talk about culture except history. We should explain the truth of China culture from the objective aspects of all history. So, what is the relationship between cultural history research and historical research? In my opinion, there is a subordinate relationship between them. The study of cultural history should follow the academic norms and basic methods of historical research, and speak with historical materials and evidence. In terms of emphasis, historical research can be big or small, regardless of details. We can make a macro study of a historical period and grasp the trend of the times. For example, Mr. Chen Yinke’s Brief Discussion on the System Origin of Sui and Tang Dynasties and the Political History of Tang Dynasty, and Gu Jiegang and Mr. Shi Nianhai’s History of China’s Territory Evolution are all extremely grand works. We can also focus on the micro, and study the whole historical process through a person, an artifact, a food and even a Chinese character in history, such as Ji Xianlin’s History of Sugar, Li Bozhong’s Firearms and Account Books and Jared Diamond’s Guns, Germs and Steel, while the study of cultural history focuses more on macro aspects.

If history is the study of "who we are" and "where we come from", then cultural history is the study of "why I am me" and "why we come from there instead of anywhere else". The macroscopic study of cultural history is similar to that of philosophy to some extent. Philosophy studies the nature of the universe, the general law of the evolution of all things in the universe, the position of people in the universe and other basic issues. Einstein once said that philosophy is the mother of all sciences, and its emphasis is on philosophical speculation and macro. Obviously, the study of cultural history cannot be said to be the mother of all historical studies, but it is also an extremely important part of historical studies. Culture involves everyone’s life, whether it is past, present or future. Therefore, Mr. Qian Mu believes that to answer what is China culture, we need to look for the value and significance of culture in the cultural tradition of China from a philosophical perspective and a historical perspective.

The Light of Chinese Civilization by Yuan Xingpei.

The complexity of culture requires researchers to broaden their minds and look at the general situation, instead of focusing on details alone, the study of cultural history must be grand. Culture is the life of a country and a nation. If a country does not have culture, there will be no life. We say that only China, among the four ancient civilizations, has never been annihilated, which is also in terms of its culture. From the narrow view of the founder of the regime, China died after Yuan and Qing Dynasties, and this view still exists, such as there was no China after Cliff Mountain, and China died in Manchu Dynasty. From this point of view, without a grand cultural view, it is easy to equate the study of cultural history with the study of history, or even fall into a narrower situation. The study of cultural history should not be entangled in the "gains and losses of a city", but should be strategically located and explain its views. Geographical background, life concept, writing, political system, literature and art, religion and other aspects can all be used as the starting point for the study of cultural history.

The integrity of culture causes its complexity to be reconciled into a whole, which can be summarized by "pulling one hair and moving the whole body". In fact, this is also very understandable. Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties is a chaotic era. The invasion of ethnic minorities has led to changes in the political system and social class, but it has also promoted the integration of ethnic groups. The corresponding life concepts, religions, literature and art are changing. The cultural variation looks extremely complicated, but it can eventually find a key point, thus being classified as a whole, and cultural psychology and cultural character will gradually become full and diverse in the change.

In addition, culture has an irresistible development. As mentioned above, culture is the life of a nation, and since it is life, it needs to grow and develop. Usually, the study of China culture is divided into several sections, and there is obvious change between each section, and the development between sections is even more obvious. Once a culture becomes rigid and stops moving forward, it is not far from death. One of the significance of the study of cultural history is to see its development law clearly, and to tell the past and think of the future.

Today’s cultural studies still don’t grasp these three points very well. The pattern is either too small and cumbersome, or too big and empty, because the culture is too big and everyone has something to say. The academic norms of cultural history research have not been effectively established, and the books published in the market are mixed, and everyone wants to get a slice of the "cultural fever". Of course, we can’t give up eating because of choking. The study of cultural history by predecessors such as Mr. Qian Mu, Mr. Liu Yizhi and Mr. Yu Yingshi has provided us with a macro idea and discipline norms. As a younger generation, we are more diligent than Ying Qin and make a modest contribution to discipline construction. (Yang Shaowei)

Swimming beginners can learn quick skills in five minutes!

Swimming is not only a summer vacation but also a very good exercise to lose weight. It can also exercise our cardiopulmonary function and make our bodies stronger. For those who have never been exposed to swimming, it must be difficult to swim. But as long as we understand the following points, at least we will learn to swim much faster than others, and naturally learning to swim will become much easier.

float

People who have never swam before should start swimming by floating. First, they should make their bodies float in the water, so we should not rush to swim in the middle of the water at the beginning. We should start from shallow water, where the water level is almost half of our body. Relax your whole body, choose a casual posture, squat down or slowly try to climb on the level to see if your body will float. In short, put your whole body into the water except your head and feel the buoyancy of the water. Because in shallow water, there will be no danger, we should feel the feeling of the body in the water naturally and boldly, and gradually overcome the fear in the water.

suspend

We move freely in the water and gradually adapt to the water. After overcoming our fears, we can try to take a deep breath, submerge our whole body, even our head, feel the underwater world and feel our heartbeat. Slowly open your eyes and look at the whole underwater world. After you basically overcome your fear, you can hold your hands on the ground, beat the water with your feet alternately and practice floating yourself with your feet. At the end of this step, you can occasionally hold the ground without your hands. At this time, you will be surprised to find that your body has a sense of floating and swims forward.

tread water

When we gradually master the suspension, we don’t have to worry about the body sinking to the bottom of the water. At this time, we can go to the middle of the water, leave our feet off the ground, spread our hands, and then keep treading water to keep an upright position, so that our hands and feet can cooperate to control our body posture. When this step is practiced in the later stage, we can slowly change the direction of treading water and try to swim with the movements of our hands.

hands and feet

Practice the movements of hands and feet. Beginners suggest that it is best to learn breaststroke first. Breaststroke is the simplest swimming skill. You can practice the basic skills on the shore as in the video. When you get into the water, you can complete this set of natural and coherent movements, practice it repeatedly, and master the breaststroke skills completely.

Swimming style is actually not required for beginners. Beginners may learn to swim in a dog crawl or frog style, or even dive in a plunge. No matter which posture, once a beginner learns to swim, other strokes are no longer difficult.

Football News: The level of women’s football is not good because the local coaches are too poor. Japanese coaches are actually a good choice.

Live on November 3 rd, in the second stage of the Olympic preliminaries, the Korean women’s football team advanced to the top of Group B, while the Chinese and Korean women’s football teams were out of the group. As for the reasons for the gap between the strength of Korean women’s football team and that of China’s women’s football team, as well as the candidates for the women’s football coach position in China in the future, Football Daily published an analysis and gave some suggestions.

The living environment of Korean women’s football team is not clear to the outside world, but we know that there are no players studying abroad, and they all play in local leagues. One question is, is the level of Korean leagues higher than that of women? If so, doesn’t that mean that the league we have worked so hard to build is just a show?

But that’s the answer. Although the women’s super clubs didn’t get the bonus of "Jinyuan Football" in those years, most of them can survive now with government background. Moreover, because they undertake the task of the National Games, they are still valued to some extent, at least they won’t be easily abandoned. But the cruel fact is that the training level of the clubs, including women’s super clubs, is really not good, or even worse than that of the sports teams in those years.

The root cause is closely related to the level of coaches. An insider said: China’s local coaches prefer the men’s Super League, China A, China B and the echelon, and only when there is no place to go will they choose the women’s football team. Their level is not high, and even the coaches in the women’s football team are even lower. Even so, these coaches are highly mobile and can’t stay. So, will the players taught by this kind of coach have a future? Or "usable"?

At present, there are several options for the future women’s football coach. One is to keep water to celebrate the summer; The second is to hire foreign coaches; The third is to choose local male coaches.

The three choices have their own reasons and disadvantages, but what the China Football Association should remember is that the women’s football team has been tossing and turning, and foreign coaches have invited it. The men have Bruno and Eyjolfsson, and the women have domanski and Elizabeth. The only successful one is Bruno. Unfortunately, because of the poor record in the warm-up match, the China Football Association and others dismissed it, resulting in FIFA; Local men’s coaches have also been used, such as Zhang Haitao and Pei Encai in the early days, Li Xiaopeng and Hao Wei later, and Jia Xiuquan recently. It is true that Ma Yuanan and Ma Liangxing have found the right pulse and are close to success, but what they do now may not be suitable.

Therefore, the future China women’s football team, the coach must "fit" or "adapt", but what kind of fit? This requires Song Kai and representatives from all aspects of the women’s football community to conduct in-depth research and communication, and listen to opinions widely. If Shuiqingxia does not stay, Japanese coach is actually a good choice.

Shenzhen team will sign Serbian point guard, and CBA will usher in La Liga assists?

According to European basketball journalist Tolis Kotzias, Jovan Novak, a Serbian backcourt player who played for Spanish league team Fuenlabrada last season, may join CBA team Shenzhen in the new season.

Born in November 1994, Novak is 28 years old, 191cm tall and 85kg in weight. He is a skillful backcourt player with excellent passing ability. Novak’s career has been spent in Europe, and he has played in Serbian League, Adriatic League, Polish League, German League and Spanish League.

Novak spent the past two seasons in Fuenlabrada. Last season, he made 25 appearances for the team in La Liga, averaging 27.2 minutes, averaging 8.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, 7.6 assists and 0.8 steals, shooting 42.8% from the field, 39.7% from three-pointers and 76.7% from free throws. It is worth mentioning that Novak was also the king of assists in La Liga last season. However, Fuenlabrada, where Novak is located, did not perform well last season, ranking at the bottom of La Liga, and finally suffered relegation, which may be one of the reasons why he chose to switch to other leagues.

Novak is a player with relatively stable comprehensive ability. Although his scoring ability on the offensive end is average, it seems that his projection ability has also made great progress in recent seasons. His dribbling ability and his basic skills are very solid, and his passing ability and organization ability are also excellent. Of course, his performance on the defensive end is very general and his defensive ability is not ideal. For Shenzhen team, Novak’s ability is not far from CBA’s top foreign aid, but he is actually a good third foreign aid choice.

The new york Knicks signed a development league player, or will stay in the team to continue their struggle

The new york Knicks recently signed obadiah Noel, a young player who will strive for a stable position in the team. This transaction not only brought fresh blood to the team, but also gave the fans an expectation. Obadiah Noel is a potential striker with excellent rebounding and defensive ability. His height and wingspan give him a great advantage in the basket. He can easily steals the ball and block opponents’ shots. These advantages just meet the Knicks’ needs for inside defense. The Knicks have been facing the problem of understaffing inside, and the addition of obadiah Noel will undoubtedly make up for this shortcoming. His arrival will provide more choices for the team and increase the depth of the team. His presence will make the team more flexible in the game and can be adjusted according to the different characteristics of opponents. Of course, obadiah Noel is not a perfect player, and he still needs to improve his offensive performance. His scoring ability needs to be improved, especially in shooting in COSCO. However, the Knicks’ coaching staff is very optimistic about his potential, and they believe that with the passage of time, obadiah Noel will gradually grow into an all-round player. For the fans, the addition of obadiah Noel is undoubtedly an exciting news. The Knicks have always wanted to find a good inside player, and now they finally got it. The fans expect obadiah Noel to play his part in the team.Bring more victories to the team.The addition of obadiah Noel has injected new vitality and hope into the Knicks.His defensive ability and rebounding ability will bring important support to the team, and his offensive potential is also worth looking forward to.

Noel, 24, was drafted by the NBA and sent to develop league teams to fight hard. This is a challenging moment, but for this young player, it is also an opportunity to meet opportunities. Noel was highly anticipated in the NBA draft. However, due to some technical and physical deficiencies, he failed to rank among the top leagues. But this did not discourage Jeannoel. On the contrary, he regarded this defeat as a new starting point for his career. Development League is an ideal platform for training young players and upgrading their skills. There are many opportunities for players who are eager to prove themselves to show their strength. For Noel, this is an opportunity to reshape his image. He can improve his technical level through hard work and dedicated training. In the development alliance, Noel needs to make more efforts and perseverance. He must adapt to the faster pace of the game and more competitive opponents. In addition, he needs to further improve his skills, especially in shooting and defense. Only through continuous efforts and progress can he return to the NBA stage in the future. Noel is also a potential player for the team. His height and wingspan make him an excellent rebounder and defender. Moreover, his youth and vitality will also inject new energy into the team. Teams should be good at discovering and cultivating such players and giving them opportunities to show their strength. In this competitive sports world, success is not easy. However, Noel has firm determination and love for basketball.This will be his motivation to overcome difficulties. He believes that with enough efforts and perseverance, he will eventually succeed. No matter where Noel’s career finally goes, he has proved himself to be a top athlete.

Noel: An unknown development league star. In the NBA, there are many players who contribute to the team in obscurity. They may not be superstars, but their efforts and talents are equally admirable. Among them, Noel is such a budding young player in the development league. As an ordinary rotation player, Noel is not as concerned as those big-name stars. However, he gradually won the recognition of the coaching staff and fans through his outstanding performance. In the game, he always goes all out to give full play to his advantages and strive for every valuable rebounding and defensive opportunity for the team.Noel’s defense under the basket is a must.With his excellent physical fitness and keen reaction speed, he formed a strong barrier inside. Opponents often feel helpless when facing him, because his defensive ability often makes the opponent’s shooting inaccurate or blocked directly. It is with this excellent defense under the basket that Noel has become a solid defense line in the team’s defense system. However, Noel is not just a defensive player. He also performed well on the offensive end, especially in rebounding and secondary attack. He can always grab the key offensive rebounds by virtue of his height and bouncing advantage, and return the ball to the basket to win the second scoring opportunity for the team. This proactive performance can not only boost the team’s morale, but also make opponents feel depressed and powerless. Noel’s success is inseparable from his efforts and perseverance. As a development league player, he has experienced numerous trainings and competitions and paid a lot of hard sweat. He never gave up his dream and always maintained his love and persistence for basketball. It is this indomitable spirit that makes him gradually emerge and become an indispensable member of the team. Noel’s story tells us that everyone has a chance to succeed in his field, whether you are an ordinary rotation player or not. As long as you are willing to work hard and keep the persistent pursuit of your dreams, you will be rewarded. Noel’s success is not only his personal achievement, but also an inspiration and encouragement to all unknown players. Let’s cheer for Noel, the star of the development alliance.And expect him to continue to show his strength and potential in future competitions.

The Knicks’ signing of Noel has aroused widespread concern. However, this signing has an unexpected turning point. According to reliable sources, the Knicks signed Noel in order to cut him later and pay a bonus of $75,000. This move has aroused people’s doubts about the team’s decision-making, and also made people start to think about the future direction of the team. The Knicks made such a decision, perhaps for tactical reasons. As an excellent center player, Noel has excellent rebounding and blocking ability on the court. However, the Knicks already have a strong frontcourt lineup, including players such as Julius Randle and Mitchell Robinson. Therefore, they may think that Noel’s joining is not necessary, and they also hope to save some salary space by cutting him. However, this decision has also caused dissatisfaction among fans. After all, Noel, as a good player, has high potential. Fans have said that the Knicks should give Noel more opportunities instead of giving up easily. They believe that the team should focus on cultivating young players, not just pursuing short-term interests. The Knicks’ decision also raised concerns about the team’s future. As a team with a long history, the Knicks have always been a strong team in the NBA. However, in the past few seasons, the team has been in a low state and its record is not good. Does the decision to cut Noel this time mean that the team will pay more attention to saving salary space in the future, rather than pursuing the improvement of the team’s strength?This problem deserves our deep thought. In any case, the Knicks’ decision to sign Noel and cut him has become a hot topic at the moment. This also makes people full of curiosity and expectation about the future direction of the team.

Xiaobian thanks everyone for reading this article, hoping to bring some inspiration and encouragement to everyone. Noel’s story tells us not to be discouraged when facing challenges and difficulties, but to regard them as opportunities and a new starting point. As long as we make efforts and persevere, we can all achieve our goals and dreams.

Sun Yingsha lost 4-0 to Chen Meng, which is abnormal? Don’t just watch the big score.

Some people watch the game and only watch the "big score".

In the WTT Macau Championship in 2023, Sun Yingsha lost 4-0 to Chen Meng in the women’s singles semi-final, and some people felt abnormal.

Last week’s WTT Xinxiang Championship was also a semi-final in women’s singles. Chen Meng lost 4-0 to Sun Yingsha. I wonder if they also felt abnormal?

In WTT Xinxiang Championship, Sun Yingsha scored 4-0 in Chen Meng, and the scores of the four sets were 11-5, 11-5, 11-7 and 11-6.

The score of four games failed to hit the key points, so it can be said that Chen Meng was completely defeated.

In the WTT Macau Championship, Sun Yingsha of Chen Meng scored 4-0, and the scores in four sets were 16-14, 11-6, 11-8 and 11-9.

Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha won the first game 10-9, and then Chen Meng tied the game and won five games in a row, only to win narrowly 16-14.

Sometimes, a small score per game is more telling.

Compare another women’s singles semi-final, although Manyu Wang won Wang Yidi 4-2, but this game is less suspense than Chen Meng’s 4-0 win over Sun Yingsha.

Manyu Wang 4-2 Wang Yidi, the score of six games: 7-11, 11-9, 11-9, 11-6, 5-11, 11-4.

Manyu Wang is tall and arm-length, and her movements will not be restored very quickly, which determines that her forehand and backhand cohesion will not be very smooth in the near stage. What Manyu Wang is afraid of is the players with fast convergence speed and not weak strength. In the face of fast players, she often has to quit the stage and exchange distance for reaction time.

Only with speed and strength, it is possible to penetrate Manyu Wang’s defense.

However, Wang Yidi is not a speed player, and her playing style also depends on the quality of her own veneer, which is similar to that of Manyu Wang.

However, compared with Wang Yidi, Manyu Wang has stronger rotation in returning the ball and higher veneer quality. From a fundamental point of view, Manyu Wang’s strength is higher than Wang Yidi’s.

Therefore, regardless of Manyu Wang’s four-to-several win, as long as it is a best-of-seven game, the chance of surprise is very small. Under normal circumstances, it is only a matter of time before Manyu Wang defeats Wang Yidi.

However, in the semi-final between Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha, after 9-9 in the fourth game, if it wasn’t Chen Meng’s serve wheel and Chen Meng’s serve, but Sun Yingsha reversed the game, the result of the following game would be hard to say.

Before the game, when analyzing the match between Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha, I said: Chen Meng was in a particularly good state this time, and Sun Yingsha experienced high-intensity events in a row, and her state declined, which may add a little suspense to this semi-final.

For players with equal strength, the recent competitive state of the players is very important, and the players’ improvisation has a great influence on the results of the game.

Fan Zhendong’s 3-2 reversal of Lin Shidong in the men’s singles quarter-final of WTT Xinxiang Championship last week is a typical example. Lin Shidong got the match point 10-8 in the fourth game, but Fan Zhendong tied the score. Finally, Fan Zhendong reversed 13-11 to win the fourth game and was tied with a big score. Fan Zhendong won the deciding game 11-8. Moreover, Fan Zhendong finally won the men’s singles championship in Xinxiang Championship.

A game, one or two key points, may lead to a world of difference.

In table tennis, besides paying attention to who wins and who loses, it is better to look at the score of each game.

I’m interested in going to see the players’ respective service wheels, return balls and so on. If you are still interested, then learn about various services, techniques and tactics, table tennis equipment and so on.

So, don’t stop at the level of "0-4 lost". Players are improving, should old fans keep pace with the times?

As for some "extreme fans", they think that the players they like can only win but not lose. Losing is abnormal and fishy. Don’t apply the "rice circle" to competitive sports. Isn’t it good to chase the stars in the entertainment circle?

Bo Yu said sports: Premier League Rome is considering hiring De Zerbi to replace Mourinho, but Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea are also.

On the other hand, the defense has obviously regressed. The opponent’s shots per possession increased by 27%(0.10), and the average xG was similar. The number of goals per game in Manchester City increased from 0.7 to 1.0. Whether it’s because Guardiola tried his staff to make the best use of Harland-which, among other things, led to the bench of full-back Joao Cancelo and eventually loaned it to Bayern-or because of the conscious retreat of the World Cup in terms of pressure and efforts (Manchester City players played more time in Qatar than any other club), Manchester City’s pressure was more passive and ineffective. Excellent opponents are particularly comfortable and productive for them: in eight games against the top six teams in the Premier League, Manchester City scored a goal in 13 shots (81.10 times per game), worth 11.6 xG.

Please note that Manchester City also scored 19 goals and scored 13 points in these eight games, but Manchester City did not control the situation as usual. Put some terrible luck into a close game-in a game decided by 1-2 goals, the average score per game is 0.1 (the average score of the other four teams in England is 2.1)-and we can see how Manchester City has left the door for Arsenal to break in at present. This also brought RB Leipzig back to the first leg of their last 16 Champions League (final 1-1 draw), and there is still some work to be done before they can advance next week.
