The Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association

The Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association NBA joined the semifinals of the in-season tournament thanks to LeBron James' performance.

The Lakers beat the Phoenix Suns 106-103 in the quarterfinals of the NBA in-season tournament at CryptoCom Arena in Los Angeles, California on the 6th.

The match between the two teams was played for tickets to the last four of the in - season tournament.

Until the first half, the Lakers played a role. Leading 33-23 in the first quarter, the Lakers also led 26-24 in the second quarter, finishing the first half 59-47.

However, Phoenix launched its counterattack in the second half. At the start of the third quarter, Grace Allen scored 12 consecutive points, including two three-point shots, and tied the game instantly.

Since then, the game has turned into a mixed game. A seesaw game in which points were exchanged, and the Lakers entered the final fourth quarter with an 83-82 lead.

It was James who cracked the tight race. James opened the fourth quarter with a free throw score, and destroyed Phoenix's camp by playing hard both inside and outside. Phoenix countered with Kevin Durant scoring two three-point shots, but James ignored and launched an offensive.

The Lakers, who ran 105-101 on Austin Reeves' decisive 3-pointer 15 seconds before the end of the game, allowed Durant a layup shot, but Anthony Davis made a free throw to seal it. 스포츠토토

For the Lakers, James was active with 31 points, 8 rebounds, and 11 assists, and Davis 27 points and 15 rebounds and Reeves 20 points and 6 rebounds helped.

For Phoenix, Kevin Durant 31 points and 7 rebounds, Devin Booker and Allen 21 points struggled, but they cried at the last minute due to a lack of hindsight.

The Lakers' victory has completed the semifinals of the in-season tournament. The Lakers will play the New Orleans Pelicans in the semifinals on Saturday, and the Milwaukee Bucks, who defeated the New York Knicks in a previous game, will compete with the Indiana Pacers for a ticket to the finals on the same day.

Messi vs Ronaldo? There's no debate!

Jamie Carragher neatly organized "Meho Daejeon."

"That's not a matter of debate. Cristiano Ronaldo is nowhere near Lionel Messi," Carragher said in an appearance on the British broadcaster CBS Sports.

Carragher's words are true. The so-called "Mejo Battle" between Messi and Ronaldo ended when Messi lifted his eighth Ballon d'Or in his career.

In a way, Messi's win was natural. It is no exaggeration to say that the 2022-23 season is Messi's year. Messi shook off his long-standing relationship by winning the FIFA World Cup Qatar. He got off to a shaky start by losing the first group match against Saudi Arabia 1-2, but later defeated Poland and Mexico to advance to the round of 16. Since then, he has advanced to the finals by catching all powerful players such as Australia, the Netherlands and Croatia, and successfully won the trophy for the first time in 36 years after 1986 when he defeated defending champion France after a penalty shootout. 토토사이트

Messi has displayed remarkable performance during the process. He displayed tremendous performance by scoring seven goals and three assists in seven matches, and recording Man of the Math, setting a record for most offensive points in a World Cup as well as dominating all major competitions with this World Cup championship. It was truly a World Cup for Messi.

He returned to Paris Saint-Germain after the World Cup and maintained his outstanding performance. Although he made it to the round of 16 in the UEFA Champions League, he showed disappointing performance as a team, scoring 16 goals and 16 assists in 32 matches in the league. Having conquered the soccer world in such a way, Messi left the European stage to spend the last years of his career.

Messi has displayed outstanding performances in the 2022-23 season, including the World Cup title, and won his eighth Ballon d'Or award in his career. "This award is given as achievement that I achieved together with the Argentine national team. It is a gift given to the players, coaching staff and the Argentinean people. I am proud that I did not stop taking on the challenge. All I had left was the World Cup," he said.

Messi has become an "all-time legend" in the soccer world. Carragher also praised Messi. "Ronaldo is one of the best goal scorers of all time, but Messi is the best player of all time. You can say it without hesitation. If Ronaldo simply scored a goal, Messi was an incredible player even when he scored a goal," he said.

Before Son Heung-min in soccer, there was Kim Yeon-kyung in volleyball

In China, the 0-3 complete defeat against Korea in the second round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Asian qualifying round is still a hot topic.

The portal site "Wang Yi (English name NetEase)" praised Son Heung-min (31), the captain of the Korean national soccer team, for his confidence in his mental confidence and maintenance of his playing style, which does not care about China's rough defense.

"The Chinese national soccer team was overwhelmed by the personal charisma of Son Heung-min, who has psychological qualities as the best athlete, such as strong will to win, game dominance, and determination," Wang Yi said. "A Korean sports player who has displayed this influence in the past in the national competition was Kim Yeon-kyung (35) in women's volleyball."

Son Heung-min shines as the top scorer of the 2021-22 English Premier League (EPL) in the season of the 2020 FIFA Pushcash Awards (FIFA) "Eurosport."

Kim Yeon-koung won the European Champions League and Olympic MVP and scoring title in the 2011-12 season. The International Volleyball Federation's official social media "Ballie Ball World" was selected as the 2021 Women's Most Valuable Player, saying it played a decisive role in the semifinals of the Tokyo Olympics in Korea.

"Kim Yeon-kyung was famous for her confidence and bold play on the court," said Wang Yi. In addition to this, words and actions that reflect relentless personal tendencies have inspired many players and officials," he said, recalling the Korean women's volleyball ace who competed with the Chinese national team for a long time.

Kim Yeon-kyung was a world-class player early on, as her career of winning the International Volleyball Federation Grand Champions Cup scoring title at the age of 21. "But I constantly challenged and honed," Wang Yi said, citing his experience on the Chinese stage from 2009 to 2011 in Japan's 2011 to 2020 Turkiye in 2017 to 2018 to 2022. 스포츠토토

After two seasons of overseas expansion, Kim Yeon-kyung dominated Japan with the 2009-10 scoring champion and 2010-11 MVP, laying the groundwork for her to stand tall as the world's No. 1 player in the European Volleyball Federation Champions League and the Olympics.

"Kim Yeon-kyung kept calm under pressure and developed mental qualities through international competitions that did not lose confidence even when he met strong opponents," Wang Yi said, explaining to a Chinese reader what he gained by going abroad without being satisfied with Korea's best.

China's women's volleyball boasts three-time Olympic gold medal world championships, three-time World Cup championships, and five World Cup wins. "Kim Yeon-kyung's confidence affected her colleagues and the audience," said Wang Yi. "I was encouraged to overcome no matter how difficult it was," he said, summarizing why the Korean national team was difficult.

Wang Yi, who recalled that a clear understanding of one's ability to understand the hard work and preparation skills was a real advantage, explained the global ripple effect, saying, "Many female volleyball junior players from various countries are considered role models because they were encouraged by Kim Yeon-kyung's presence."

Shin Jin-seo, Who Saved Face In The "Go Team Gold Medal,"

South Korea beat China to win the men's team tournament in Go, which returned to the Asian Games stage for the first time in 13 years. She sought to win the men's and women's team events together, but lost to China in the women's team events, and had to be satisfied with the silver medal. South Korea, which swept three gold medals at the 2010 Guangzhou Games, when Go was first adopted as an official event, collected one gold, silver, and bronze each at this tournament.

The Korean men's Go team beat China 4-1 in the men's team final of the tournament held at Chiyuan Chess Hall in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province on the 3rd.

Shin Jin-seo, Shin Min-joon, and Park Jung-hwan, 9 dan, beat China's Yang Ding-shin, Ke Jie, and Me Yu-ting 9 dan to secure the gold medal first.

Pae Sang-il 9 dan caught black by 9 dan Lee Chin-cheong and lost by 7 1/2 home in 295 moves, but Shin Jin-seo, the "absolute first-team" of Korean Go, returned Yang Ding-shin to the drawing board with a victory of 240 moves.Shin Min-joon was inferior to Ke Jie, with the expected winning rate of artificial intelligence (AI) below 10%, but won a dramatic black victory in 324 moves. Park Jung-hwan also won the match against Me Witting after 261 moves.

Kim Myung-hoon, the 9th dan who finished the game the latest, played an active role in winning the 100th album in 297 moves against Zhao Chunyu. In other words, the women's national team, which was held at the same place earlier, paid back its 1-2 loss to China. 스포츠토토

On the same day, the women's national team lost to Leeher's 5th dan in 203 strokes, losing momentum, and Kim Eun-ji, 7th dan, also lost to Wu Yiming 5th dan in 275 moves due to repeated mistakes. Oh Yu-jin, 9th dan, showed his last-minute fighting spirit and avoided losing in 319 moves against Yu Zhi Ying, 7th dan.Go was not adopted as an official event in Incheon in 2014 and Jakarta and Palembang in 2018 after South Korea swept three gold medals at the 2010 Guangzhou Games.

Defending champion Korea also aimed for all three gold medals (individual men's and men's and women's groups) in this tournament. However, Shin Jin-seo, who was a strong candidate for the championship, lost to Taiwan's Xu Haohong 9 dan in the men's individual semifinals and beat Japan's Ichiriki Ryo 9 dan in the bronze medal match to win the bronze medal.

Shin Jin-seo, who won the team gold medal following the men's individual bronze medal, appeared in the joint coverage area with a brighter expression. Shin Jin-seo said, "The individual championship may be more honorable, but I think it's better to win the group championship that we can share joy with," adding, "There are regrets and joys, but I'm still relieved."

Shin Min-joon, who had a military problem left, smiled broadly, saying, "I think I'm twice as happy as other players who won the gold medal."
