Running for running and selling places at high prices … China Marathon has encountered a new test.

  BEIJING, Beijing, September 20 (Reporter Wang Muqing) On the morning of the 17th, the Beijing Marathon completed its 37th consecutive year of firing. As a road race with the largest scale and influence in China, this year, North Malaysia attracted over 100,000 people to sign up, and finally 30,000 contestants were determined by drawing lots. An industry insider who is deeply involved in road running admits that the Beijing Marathon is like a mirror, and it also reflects the marathon culture that has just started in China, and "copying the number cloth" is just a microcosm.

  Controversy: It started with a "high-profile" photo.

  The event of "copying number cloth" in Beijing Marathon began with a set of photos posted on the online running forum. In the picture, many players wear the same number cloth to "run". Among them, three male players even took a group photo wearing D0198 number cloth at the same time, and publicly posted it online. According to careful netizen statistics, at least five different players wore D0198 numbers and appeared on the track in North Malaysia this year.

  After the incident was exposed, the media immediately followed up. Some media quoted the staff of the organizing Committee as saying: "We have collected more numbers than these two (people). But whose number cloth is this, and he just made one at random? Or did someone else transfer the forged one? It’s not easy to get it, and it’s hard to say for the time being. "

  It is reported that the Beijing Marathon Organizing Committee attaches great importance to this incident and will issue a statement in the near future. Through in-depth communication with many marathon organizers, the reporter learned that "running" actually happens from time to time in major marathons all over the world, but high-profile "photographing" is really incredible.

  Insiders tell the truth: extreme disgust, threatening the quality of the competition.

  Wen Fenglin, the editor-in-chief of Ali Sports and the person in charge of the running project, is a veteran runner. When talking about this matter, he bluntly resented and disliked "running instead of running" and "running": "Every contestant buys a ticket to enter the stadium, which is a matter of course. However, unconventional means cannot be used because of the scarcity of places. "

  Like everyone else, Wen Fenglin was very surprised by the high-profile photo of the "runner" under Zhengyangmen: "Maybe at that moment, they have forgotten that the number cloth is ‘ Copy ’ Yes, behind this mentality, it reflects the lack of awe in marathon and running, and it seems very ignorant. "

  Wen Fenglin’s statement represents the voice of almost all legal runners. The "runners" enjoyed the supplies of the event in vain, which added many potential threats to the event. Once in a marathon, a runner fainted in the middle, and the organizing Committee accidentally found that the blood type of the fainted person did not match the blood type of the applicant during the first aid. Obviously, this is a "substitute run" incident.

  Song Hongfei, vice president of Zhimei Sports, a well-known domestic road running company that holds more than 30 races every year, thinks: "‘ Run ’ It is unfair to the contestants who spend money, it is a kind of theft and should be despised. This practice of taking advantage of small profits is actually ignoring the rules. They will interfere with the normal registration of the competition. After the competition, they will take the contestants’ bags and medals, which will have a great impact on the quality of the competition. "

  Deep-seated reason: the lack of marathon culture

  In 2016, China Athletics Association registered 328 road races. It is conservatively estimated that this number will increase to 500 in 2017. Aside from the "number cloth" incident, after many marathon events, the leftover supplies on the track, the garbage in the flower beds next to the track, together with the "marathon fever" trend, deserve everyone’s deep thinking.

  "Running too many marathons, I have to say that some contestants lack respect for this sport. They hold this or that purpose, or simply to vent, or just to be unscrupulous, too utilitarian. " Wen Fenglin told reporters.

  Song Hongfei said frankly that although such things as transferring places and copying numbers have occurred in major competitions around the world, there are many similar incidents in China. A person from the North Malaysia Organizing Committee admitted to the reporter that they used many methods before the game, including making anti-counterfeiting number cloth and other high-tech means to intervene, but there was still an embarrassing scene.

  In this regard, an insider who did not want to be named said: "Behind similar phenomena is the lack of marathon culture. The China Marathon is very hot, but the marathon culture is very cold. "

  Regarding the marathon culture, Song Hongfei shared his thoughts from the perspective of the organizer: "We feel that the competition management of the Tokyo Marathon is full of humanity, but I also know that many details can not be completely solved by several trainings before the competition, which also requires the improvement of the cultural system and cultivation system."

  Future: Can domestic events start the linkage mechanism?

  Before the start of the race in Beima this year, a qualification originally valued at 200 yuan had been fired to 2,000 yuan on the online second-hand trading platform, which was obviously against the regulations. The popular Beijing Marathon is the benchmark event of China Road Running. It is conceivable that with more and more events focusing on brand building, the problems encountered by Beima this year are likely to become unavoidable topics for other road running events in the future.

  Song Hongfei believes that if all the events are linked together, more powerful preventive measures can be formed: "I hope all the events will unite and make a unified blacklist. We are willing to work with other organizing committees to punish those who exploit loopholes, ignore the rules and pose great risks to the running of the competition, so that players who violate the rules are not eligible to participate. We must not only condemn, but also punish. "

  "Let the people who violate the rules be jealous and let those who abide by the rules be guaranteed. This is the basic thinking of running the competition." He told reporters.

  If we explore a deeper level, behind the violation of the rules and above the level of marathon culture, there are "running knowledge" and "running etiquette", such as scientific training and avoiding injuries, such as not running barefoot and not grabbing water and drinks with others on the track.

  In the next few weekends, dozens of road races will be fired in cities all over the country. Under the background that the "marathon fever" drives the vigorous development of China sports industry, the quality of running the races will also become the top priority of the industry.

Nanyang City held an emergency mobilization video conference on "Thunder" action for river water environment improvement along the main canal of the middle route of South-to-North Water Transfer Proje

  On November 7, Nanyang City held an emergency mobilization video conference on the "Thunder" action involving river water environment improvement along the main canal of the Middle Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project. Vice Mayor Li Peng attended and spoke.

  The meeting conveyed the "Implementation Plan of Nanyang River Chief System Office on Printing and Distributing" Thunder Action "for River Water Environment Improvement in the Middle Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project", which pointed out that a one-month "Thunder Action" for River Water Environment Improvement along the Middle Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project will be launched in Nanyang from that day on. In his speech, Li Peng pointed out that all relevant departments at all levels should improve their positions, take the initiative to take responsibility, act quickly, comprehensively investigate the problems, and make effective rectification. It is necessary to investigate the "five chaos" phenomena in the water environment along the main canal, such as random arrangement, random construction, random dumping and dumping, find out the crux of the problem, refine the responsibility to people, and ensure that the rectification is effective. It is necessary to strictly implement the river length system, so as to be responsible and conscientious in guarding the river. It is necessary to establish a long-term mechanism, strengthen supervision and inspection, and ensure that "a clear water will be sent to the north forever". After the meeting, Li Peng also visited Yahekou Reservoir for inspection and guidance.

"dancing with the stars" won the first place in the six-in-five competition (photos)

Shannon’s exaggerated dance did not please the judges (data picture)

Jason’s powerful bullfighting dance (data picture)

Christie’s playful and lively Cha Cha (data picture)

Marisa’s Tango Dance (data picture)

  Last week, the deaf-mute actress Marlee Matlin and her partner Fabian Sanchez were out, while the high-scoring player Mario accidentally fell into Bottom 2. There have been some minor changes in the flow of this week’s competition. The remaining six groups of stars will perform ballroom dance and Latin dance respectively, and both dances will be strictly graded by the judges. With the progress of the competition, the difficulty of dancing will continue to increase.

  1. Marissa Jaret Winokur and Tony Doirat.

  Dance Type: Tango Score: 27

 As a Broadway musical actress, Marisa is showing more and more potential in dancing. After last week’s impressive Viennese waltz, this week, she won the praise of the judges. Whether it’s fresh and agile dance steps or precise and changeable movements, she can express it just right, and even the happy smiling face on weekdays is very well replaced by Leng Yan’s blurred expression. Although the high score given by the judges is somewhat unbalanced, it is not too much.

  Dance type: rumba score: 25

 In order to match the graceful characteristics of rumba, Marisa put on a red dress. But gorgeous clothes don’t suit her, which makes her body shape expand a lot. Perhaps a good beginning is really half the battle, and the seemingly sleepy dance has made the judges score high. Bruno continued to preach his out-of-the-box remarks, and Marisa was ecstatic about tonight’s high score again.

  2. Cristian de la Fuente and Cheryl Burke.

  Dance Type: Vienna Waltz Score: 25

 Christian’s performance in the rehearsal was a little artificial and overdone, but his lovely little daughter brought him back a lot of impression points. Their dance is slow and elegant, but they always feel a little vague in content. Bruno, a judge who has always been exaggerating, praised Christian as the "Clark Gable of South America" on the dance floor. Obviously, this is also a bit hot-headed, including his score of 9.

  Dance type: samba score: 21

 This is a dance that requires movement and enthusiasm, but Christian is slow and stiff compared with her dancing partner Booker. It turned out that he pulled his arm and didn’t show it until the end.

  The judges made symbolic comments and scores, and I believe the audience can make their own judgments.

  3. Kristi Yamaguchi and Mark Ballas.

  Dance Type: Vienna Waltz Score: 26

 Last week’s perfect score brought great pressure to Kristi and Mark. At this time, Olympic champion Kristi had an advantage in Emotional adjustment. She took Mark to the real ice rink to relax. That night, their waltz was smooth, gorgeous, romantic and elegant, and the designed plot and shiny umbrella props gave people beautiful enjoyment. Unfortunately, this week’s judges seem to want to change their tastes, and Kristi also scored 8 points for the first time. In the face of Samantha, the tricky host, who once led all the way but was accidentally eliminated halfway, Mark and Kristi had to continue their efforts.

  Dance Type: Cha Cha Cha Score: 28

 From the moment when the music with strong rhythm sounded, the lively and playful dance of the two caught the attention of the audience. Kristi’s dancing skills are convincing and her movements are neat and in place. Mark blended hip-hop into the dance, which made the old-fashioned judge Len feel a little emotional. But the other two judges scored 10 points, which fully proved their good dance strength.

  4. Mario and Karina Smirnoff.

  Dance Type: Foxtrot Score: 24

 Mario was badly hit by the audience’s failure to buy it last week, and he was also thinking about his MV in rehearsal. However, the dance of the two is still expressive, Mario’s hand movements are smooth and calm, and the dance steps are still smooth. The judges’ psychology is always unpredictable, perhaps because of the introspection of scoring high marks last week, and the final score can only be counted as reluctance.

  Dance Type: Mambo Score: 27

 Dark skin and passionate personality are the unique advantages for them to perform lively and humorous mambo dance. Their explosive dancing showed the humorous and wild charm of mambo dance, which was finally affirmed by the judges.

  5. Shannon Elizabeth and Derek Hough.

  Dance Type: Tango Score: 27

 Shannon and Derek were extremely dissatisfied with the judges’ comments last week, and they also made some radical remarks, just venting their anger in the tango dance that needed to be "mixed with love and hate". I don’t know whether the color of the costume is too depressing or the dance itself lacks vitality. The whole performance looks dull, rigid and stiff. But the judges gave an incredible high score, which is really puzzling.

  Dance Type: Mambo Score: 24

 In order to refute the judge’s comment that he can’t swing his hips, Shannon did not hesitate to put on a fake hip and used extremely exaggerated dance moves to win the position. However, the artificial design makes the performance of the two people a little too enthusiastic and even a little vulgar. The calm judges gave rational scores.

  6. Jason Taylor and Edyta Sliwinska

  Dance Type: Fast Step Score: 29

 Jason, who experienced ups and downs last week, trained harder this week, and their quickstep dance aroused cheers from the audience. Jason, a football star with athletic cells, dazzled the audience with his leaping rotation and fast and changeable pace. The dance steps are brisk and active, which brings endless joy and pleasure.

  Dance Type: Bull Dance Score: 26

 The powerful and passionate bullfighting dance is perfect for Jason. With two black lines under his eyes, he swam between the dance floors with the powerful music. His eyes are firm and sharp, his steps are agile and frustrated, his turn is vigorous and vigorous, and his interaction with Adita is vivid and intense. Although there was a foul off the ground at the end, it did not affect the overall look and feel. This is the first time that they have surpassed Christie and earned high marks. (go for a ride/text)

How to make explosions in domestic beauty cosmetics?

Image source @ vision china

Wen Wen CBNData Consumer Station, author He Zhexin, editor Dong Zhifei.

An epidemic has made many beauty brands difficult. Under the dual "protection" of home and masks, the demand for beauty products has dropped to a low point.

However, at the beginning of April, the depressed beauty industry ushered in a shot in the arm: Meishang (Guangzhou) Cosmetics Co., Ltd. got nearly 200 million yuan in Series A financing. Meishang, which was founded in 2018, is one of its most famous brands, and is the first Colorkey in the lip glaze category of Tmall, Laqi.

As a dark horse brand of lip makeup in China, what kind of "explosive experience" does Colorkey Ke Laqi have? For Meishang behind it, how can young domestic beauty companies grow rapidly and gain the contrarian favor of capital?

To answer these questions, CBNData conducted an in-depth interview with Ying Shaofeng, e-commerce partner and e-commerce director of Colorkey Laqi.

If you are not the target consumer of Colorkey Laqi-the post-95 beauty consumer, you may not be familiar with this brand. But for young girls who love lip glaze, this brand has long been a good idea for many people. According to Alibaba’s official data tool business consultant, Colorkey Laqi has been ranked first in the sales of Tmall Lip Gloss/Lip Honey/Lip Glaze from November last year to March this year.

From the birth to the first category of Tmall lip glaze, Colorkey Laqi has developed rapidly. Founded in 2018, Colorkey Laqi has been listed in the Top 5 of Tmall domestic beauty products in less than one year, and its sales in 2019 exceeded 200 million yuan.

On the day of Tmall double 11 in 2019, Colorkey sold 700,000 pieces of air lip glaze in Laqi, and won the sales volume of lip glaze category No.1 In March, 2020, on the first day of the launch of Mulan lip glaze series, a collaboration between Colorkey Laqi and Disney IP image Mulan, the sales volume exceeded 300,000, and all the popular color numbers were stolen on the spot.

The success of Colorkey KE Laqi in lip glaze is closely related to his timing of category. According to Hong Lei, data analyst of CBNData, the overall scale of lip glaze category in 2018 is still small, and it has not been subdivided from the lipstick market, and it is in a period of rapid development. The data of the business staff also shows that 2018 is the lowest number of visitors to the lip glaze category.

In addition to grasping the outlet of category growth, Hong Lei thinks that Colorkey Laqi is also due to accurate pricing range. CBNData research shows that one of the main consumer groups in the lip glaze market is the post-1995 generation, and their consumption power is weak and they are price-sensitive. Colorkey Laqi’s lip glazes are mostly priced within 100 yuan, aiming at the students in the Z generation.

The goal of Colorkey Laqi is to be the leading brand of lip glaze. Ying Shaofeng told CBNData, "The success of air lip glaze is only the first step. Next, we will build a complete product line of lip glaze, and finally we will set an industry benchmark in the lip glaze market."

At the beginning of 2020, an COVID-19 epidemic appeared, which temporarily chilled lip products. Hong Lei said that under the influence of the epidemic, the overall beauty market was affected. Especially for beauty brands focusing on lip products, timely layout of other categories is one of the ways to save themselves.

Meishang, the parent company of Colorkey Laqi, plans to use the new financing for Meishang to strengthen multi-brand building and accelerate its entry into emerging channels.

Mei Shang owns more than one brand, Colorkey Co., Ltd. Laqi. In 2018, it acquired Korean beauty brand Superface Xiubafei and Taiwan Province skin care brand Lab101 Ruipei, aiming at the needs of mainstream middle-class women in China, and captured market segments through multi-brand strategic layout to meet the beauty needs of women of different classes and incomes. Ying Shaofeng believes that the product matrix of Meishang has covered all age groups.

Colorkey Laqi is also laying out two categories of isolation and makeup fixing besides lip glaze. Ying Shaofeng told CBNData that the growth of the two categories of isolation and makeup has reached more than 50% in the near future. In March, Colorkey Laqi launched a new trend product with high growth category.

In order to shorten the decision-making chain, Colorkey Laqi made full use of big data insight, and adjusted the product strategy in time according to the consumption trend with the operation mode of "small recovery in one week and big recovery in one month". "The beauty industry is updating faster than you think, and it will be eliminated if you don’t pay attention." Ying Shaofeng said.

In improving the product strength, Ying Shaofeng said that he would participate in the color selection of new products in each season. Different from most domestic brands’ large-scale new models every season, the color number of the new lip glaze of Colorkey Laqi every season is "almost no minefield", which shows that the products have spent a lot of thought on color selection.

In recent years, the influence of the content "planting grass" has been continuously improved. Faced with this trend, domestic beauty brands have also begun to actively use social media for "word-of-mouth communication".

Colorkey’s marketing methodology for creating explosive products in Laqi has matured: online channels become famous-sales are won by cost performance -KOL and KOC broadcast in turn to precipitate word of mouth. Every time a new product is launched, this methodology is reused to carry out "overwhelming" "planting grass" marketing, and the low threshold of new customers and new product experience brought by high cost-effective positioning is a common mode for many domestic beauty brands, including Colorkey Co., Ltd. Laqi, to harvest new customers and obtain rapid development.

This model of domestic beauty has also been recognized by capital. In 2019, domestic beauty products collectively ushered in an outbreak period, and brands from head to waist were sought after by consumers and capital.

In September last year, it received a perfect diary of $1 billion in financing led by Gaochun Capital. Recently, it received another $100 million in financing, and its valuation doubled in half a year. Emerging beauty brands such as Girlcult and Paiji have also received capital bets.

Almost all new brands of domestic beauty cosmetics have invested heavily in content platforms such as Xiaohongshu, Tik Tok and bilibili. Some brands even stopped putting SEM on traditional search platforms. However, the excessive delivery mode is having a negative impact on the brand. Open the little red book and enter the color test. Eight out of ten are similar typesetting, emoji and exclamations, with the same distorted color map of 10 grades …

Perhaps seeing the harm of over-marketing, Colorkey Laqi took a refined delivery route. Ying Shaofeng said that the company has specialized personnel responsible for different platforms and plans different delivery methods according to the platform attributes. For example, Laqi, the of Colorkey, put the word-of-mouth fission model into the little red book. Besides the head bloggers, she also attaches great importance to the cooperation with amateur bloggers.

On the bilibili, Colorkey KE Laqi, relying on the agency, selected the up owners who can make colorful beauty and life, and can plant grass at medium and low prices. During the promotion process, Colorkey Laqi also constantly adjusted the material content and promotion plan according to the crowd effect, further expanding the content advantage with good data feedback effect in the first stage, and at the same time, simultaneously put in the information flow for harvesting.

When online marketing and e-commerce approach saturation, offline has once again become the battlefield of domestic beauty. There are two offline modes for domestic brands: brand store and beauty makeup collection store. The typical example of the former is the perfect diary, while the latter is orange blossom, HEDONE, Zhiyouquan and so on. Colorkey Ke Laqi is also a member of the collection store.

According to Ying Shaofeng, Colorkey Laqi has set up beauty collection stores in 11 cities across the country. The cooperation between Colorkey and Laqi is not only about selling goods, but also involved in the whole store design and exposure form. Its cooperation with WOW COLOUR, a collection store, is an example. Colorkey Laqi also hopes to make use of the exhibition space of offline collection stores, play the role of brand promotion and data accumulation, and link online and offline to the greatest extent, so as to provide users with a more complete experience.

In recent years, more and more domestic cutting-edge beauty brands can be purchased by Generation Z.. Hong Lei observed that the price of the domestic beauty market is increasingly close to the people, driven by domestic beauty products, and there is a downward trend.

Facing the strong competition of domestic cosmetics, multinational cosmetics groups began to try to "reduce the dimension". They aimed at young China consumers and stepped up their incubation, investment and acquisition of niche brands and cutting-edge domestic beauty brands. In April 2017, Estee Lauder acquired a 28% stake in DECIEM, the parent company of The Ordinary. In April 2018, L ‘Oreal acquired Stylenanda, the parent company of 3CE, and in October 2019, L ‘Oreal introduced NYX to the China market …

Large international companies are also embracing online channels: products that used to lie on the counters of high-end shopping malls frequently appear in the exhibition rooms of anchors of major short video platforms. According to statistics before CBNData, among the Top10 lipstick brands that cooperated with Li Jiaqi the most times, international brands occupied 7 seats.

Under the attack of international brands, domestic beauty products try to give full play to the advantages of landlords, shorten the decision-making chain, cooperate well with the supply chain, and speed up the iteration of new products.

In the supply chain, Colorkey Laqi has chosen to cooperate with Korean OEM and ODM company Kosmet. Tangduo cooperates with Shanghai Zhenchen, which has 32 assembly lines, while Girlcult chooses the cooperation mode of "big factory+many small factories". Cooperation with large factories can ensure the stability of product quality control, while small factories can realize flexible supply and try new and rare technologies.

Most of the new domestic beauty cosmetics represented by Colorkey Ke Laqi started from the explosion of a single or a small number of categories, and gained the early dividends of this marketing method, which grew rapidly.

However, with the popularity of content marketing methods and the increasingly fierce competition in the online market, there are international manufacturers before, followed by domestic competing products. How can an emerging brand like Colorkey Laqi win in the market? I believe there will be more exciting ways to play in the fierce competition.

Football friendly turned into a group fight. Alan Tam picked 3 out of 1 in Felix Wong Yat Wa.

  (Source: China Daily)

  On July 26th, Beijing time, in the 30th Anniversary Tour of the 2015 Donghai Cup Hong Kong Star Football Team held in dongxing city Sports Center, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, the Hong Kong Star Team led by Alan Tam, Felix Wong Yat Wa, Chen Baixiang and Luo Jiaying played against Dongxing Team. Due to the disparity in strength, the Hong Kong Star Team led Dongxing Team 6-1 in the first half, and scored another goal in the second half, making the score 7-1. I thought the game would end like this, but no one expected that a conflict broke out between the two teams 12 minutes before the end. The conflict was caused by the excessive tackle of Dongxing team members, which knocked down the Hong Kong star team players. All the Hong Kong team members rushed into the stadium at once, and then the small-scale conflict turned into a large-scale European group. Even if the commentator shouted for the players to calm down, it didn’t play any role.

  Not long ago, an exchange match between Beijing whirlwind American football team and Hong Kong killer whale team turned into a "boxing match". This time, it was a friendly match between Hong Kong and the mainland, but it ended in a bad fight. Dongxing team is behind by a big score, and the players have begun to become irritable and their movements are getting bigger and bigger. These stars of the Hong Kong Star Team are all old. How can they turn a blind eye to the unreasonable foul and reckless tackle of the other side? According to the eyewitness’s recollection, the two sides were still cursing at the same time, and even more, Felix Wong Yat Wa of the Hong Kong Star Team used a trick to knock down three members of Dongxing Team.

  The commentator has been shouting loudly that both sides should be restrained and calm, but it still does not help. Seeing that the situation was not good, the security guards and armed police then entered the venue to stop and interrupted the game in advance. It is reported that all the players of the Hong Kong Star Team immediately left the stadium with their luggage, without giving the organizer any chance to coordinate. After the reception dinner, the atmosphere between the two sides was fairly harmonious and was not affected by the conflict in the game.

  The Hong Kong Star Team has always taken charity as its theme, raising hundreds of millions of yuan over the years, and its influence is very broad. This match with Dongxing is the second stop of the national tour, which aims to strengthen communication with Dongxing football and promote young people’s love for football. Fight? Group fight? Promote the development of youth football? Both the big names of the Hong Kong Star Team and the players of Dongxing Team should reflect on it. Football is football, and the game is always second. Football violence and even sports violence must be resolutely opposed by everyone. I hope that both sides of sports competitions can put friendship first, and I hope that this kind of thing will not happen again in the future.

Yao Ming commented on Li Meng! I hope that more players in China women’s basketball team can play abroad in the future.

* * Yao Ming commented on Li Meng: She is the leader and core of the women’s basketball team in China. I hope more players can play abroad * *

*

China women’s basketball team won the championship again in the 2023 Asian Women’s Basketball Cup, continuing its dominance in the Asian arena. In this competition, one player performed particularly well, and she was Li Meng. As the leader and core of the China women’s basketball team, she scored 24 points, 8 assists and 5 steals in the final, leading the team to a 73-71 victory over the Japanese women’s basketball team, thus achieving revenge on the Japanese team. After the game, Yao Ming, President of chinese basketball association, spoke highly of Li Meng, and expressed the hope that more players in China women’s basketball team could go abroad to play and improve their level and competitiveness.

Li Meng is the first player in the history of women’s basketball in China to enter the WNBA League. She was selected by Chicago Sky in 2022 and officially landed in WNBA in 2023. The experience of playing in the United States has benefited her a lot, and her skills, physical fitness and psychology have been greatly improved. She showed her strength and talent in the WNBA League and became an important member of Sky Team. In the regular season, she averaged 9.4 points, 3.1 assists and 1.6 steals, which helped the team reach the playoffs. Her performance was also recognized by the WNBA. She was selected for the 2023 WNBA All-Star Game and was nominated for the best rookie.

*

As a legend of China basketball, Yao Ming was also the first China player to make a name for himself in the NBA. He is very gratified and proud of Li Meng’s achievements. He thinks that Li Meng is the leader and core of the women’s basketball team in China, and her experience and growth in the WNBA League have a very positive impact on the development of the women’s basketball team in China. He said that Li Meng has always performed well, and her performance has become more stable and mature after this year’s WNBA tournament. He hoped that more China women’s basketball players would choose to go to the United States and play abroad to improve their level and competitiveness.

*

Yao Ming revealed that the China women’s basketball team will have the task of Asian Cup and Asian Games next summer, and the Basketball Association needs to make a choice. He said, "What if we encounter this problem? I don’t know the time of our Asian Cup next year, but it is basically in June or July. Our Asian Games will be held in Hangzhou after a year’s delay, which should be held in the middle and late September. Do we still have a mentality of letting athletes go out and promoting a group of young players, or do we say that at this stage of our national team, this cup is also very important, and we still have to call back the national team members to make sure that nothing is lost. So I said at the beginning of the interview that we should have a goal, and our goal is not the Olympic Games. Or what kind of goal, then we should make our plans selectively. Any plan needs to be chosen, and it is impossible to completely cover everything. "

*

According to Yao Ming, if the General Administration of Sports and the Basketball Association think that the Asian Cup and the Asian Games are also very important, then Li Meng, Han Xu and Li Yueru’s study abroad will be affected. If the top management thinks that the Asian Cup and the Asian Games are not so important, then they can let the players go to the WNBA and promote the young players to join the team. In addition, China women’s basketball players are unlikely to study abroad in 2024, because to prepare for the Olympic Games, China women’s basketball girls need to train and play games. This situation can be seen by referring to Zhu Ting’s way of studying abroad. In order to prepare for the Tokyo Olympics, she stopped studying abroad and returned to the domestic league. Coupled with injuries, Zhu Ting chose to study abroad again this year.

*

There is no problem with the strength of the girls in China’s women’s basketball team. For example, Li Meng is definitely not worse than whitcomb, who can start in the WNBA, and Li Meng can of course, but there is still suspense about whether she can go abroad as she wishes in the last two years. But in any case, we should be proud of Li Meng. She is the leader and core of the women’s basketball team in China, and she is the light of basketball in China.

Moratti: It’s always worth it for Mourinho to return to China. I want to buy Harland if I can.

Live on March 10th, on the occasion of Inter Milan’s 115th birthday, former President Moratti visited TeleLombardia. Apart from talking about the situation of Inter Milan this season, he also recalled recoba, Mourinho and others.

Which player surprised you the most this season?

"lautaro, of course, both as a striker and as a captain, his performance is very good. Charkhan Oulu also played well in midfield. We have a lot of interesting players. "

If you close your eyes, which player would you imagine wearing a blue and black jersey?
