The FIBA International Solidarity Cup four-nation invitation tournament resulted in two consecutive wins: the first game was 113-79 against Cameroon, followed by a back-to-back second game of 74-63 against Georgia. In the second game, China's shooting touch was far from the explosive performance of the first game (16-for-31 from three), with only 4-for-22 from three (about 18% accuracy) and even free throws at 16-for-23 (about 70%).

Oh~ Arakji suddenly collapsed without contact during the recent domestic league finals. Preliminary reports suggest a possible MCL injury. In any case, he won't be able to take the court again in the short term.

Butterfly effect~ After James announced he would bring his talents to Philly, the 76ers' chances of winning the Eastern Conference rose from 15% to 24%, topping the list, and their championship odds increased from 6% to 12%, ranking third in the league. Maxey + VJ Edgecombe + Jaylen Brown + James + Embiid—this starting lineup is really powerful... just worried about injuries.

Before every Philadelphia 76ers home game, there is always this ritual. The team brings out a replica of the city's landmark Liberty Bell and invites a guest to ring it for good luck. The guest is usually announced at the last moment, but it's predictable that LeBron James will be the one to ring the Liberty Bell—a symbol of the Philadelphia 76ers—at the home opener next season.

Big news, big news. Finally decided~ Two years, $8 million, an absolute bargain. LeBron James has officially decided to bring his talents to the 76ers... Maxey + VJ Edgecombe + Jaylen Brown + James + Embiid, an epic five-star lineup, the strongest championship contender in the East is born. The newly crowned champion New York Knicks are trembling. Oh, and the Heat, Cavaliers, and other teams are completely devastated.

Why hasn't he decided where to go yet? Shams, the insider: The NBA free agency market has come to a standstill due to James, with Harden, DeRozan, Draymond Green, and others waiting to sign new contracts, and even overseas player Mario Hezonja from Croatia (the 5th overall pick in the 2015 draft) is also waiting.

In the first warm-up match of the FIBA International Unity Cup Four-Nation Invitational, the Chinese men's basketball team faced the Cameroon men's basketball team. The 12-man roster for the game is as follows: guards Zhao Jiwei, Liao Sanning, Pang Zhenglin, Li Yuezhou, and He Xining; forwards Cui Yongxi, Zhu Junlong, Li Hongquan, Zhao Jiayi, and Jiang Haoran; centers Hu Jinqiu and Jiao Boqiao.

Renowned journalist Shams reported on a TV program today: "James and his agent Rich Paul are no longer waiting for other chain trades to materialize, nor for Anthony Davis's trade to be finalized. The candidate teams have been confirmed: the Cavaliers, Heat, Warriors, 76ers, and Timberwolves. His decision-making is based on three core considerations: whether he can be happy, whether there is a championship opportunity, and whether the team's atmosphere fits him.

During the offseason, a major personnel change spread across the Chinese basketball scene: Zhu Fangyu officially stepped down from his role as general manager of the Guangdong Southern Tigers Club. Although it hasn't been officially announced yet, it's said that the internal handover process has already been completed. Just kidding: after all, if President Zhu left any fine wines in the club's stash, it would take some time to take them away... When I saw the news yesterday, I wasn't that shocked, to be honest.

Yesterday, Ty Lawson, who once played in the NBA and CBA, returned to the spotlight due to an arrest report. A retired star getting arrested is nothing unusual, but the reason for Lawson's arrest is truly one of a kind. He stole a bottle of vodka worth $34 from a store, then stumbled drunkenly into a restaurant. When the police found him, he shouted insults at them, ultimately leading to his arrest.
