NBA superstar Yannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Brewers joined the list of world stars of the Paris Olympics. Greece, Antetokounmpo’s home country, will join the Olympics for the first time in 16 years.

Antetokounmpo-led Greece defeated Croatia 80-69 in the final round of men’s basketball at the 2024 Paris Olympics in Piraeus, Greece, on Thursday. That gave Greece a dramatic flight to Paris, securing a ticket to the Olympic finals, which had only one ticket hanging for Greece’s regional qualifiers.

It is the first time in 16 years that Greece has advanced to the Olympic finals since the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Greece defeated Luka Doncic’s Slovenia on the previous day and Croatia, which was classified as an ambush, to take the last train to the Olympics.

Greece’s advance to the Olympics was led by superstar Antetokounmpo. Antetokounmpo played 28 minutes and 28 seconds in the match against Croatia on Saturday, scoring 23 points and eight rebounds, leading Greece to victory. 파워볼사이트

Antetokounmpo became one of the world’s best players as he was named the MVP of the NBA regular league for two consecutive years in 2019 and 2020. In particular, he won the championship by putting the Milwaukee Bucks at the top of the championship game in the 2020-21 season.

Antetokounmpo, however, failed to perform properly in the NBA Playoffs due to a calf injury. After recovering from the injury, he became the MVP of the qualifying round in Greece.

In addition to Greece, Georgios Papayanis exploded with 19 points, including four 3-pointers, and Nick Calátez scored 14 points to help.

Croatia’s Ivica Zubaci (LA Clippers) worked hard with 19 points and 12 rebounds, but the Olympic finals for the second consecutive tournament failed following the Tokyo Olympics 2021.

The finals for men’s basketball at the Olympics have also been decided. Twelve teams, including defending champions the U.S., Germany, Serbia, Japan, Australia, Canada, South Sudan, Spain, Brazil, Puerto Rico and Greece, have been on the stage.

On July 2, Hanyang University captured Sungkyunkwan University in the enemy territory. Hanyang University’s players had a higher willingness to win, and that turned out to be the difference in activity. Hanyang University, which has a shorter average height, had 21 more rebounds (51-30) than Sungkyunkwan University. Kim Sun-woo, a 175-centimeter-tall short guard, also had five offensives rebounds. When it comes to long rebounds, will is more important than height.

This year, Kim ranks first in his team in terms of time spent in games. Despite his small stature, he ranks third in rebounding, No. 1 in assists, and No. 2 in steals. All indicators of offense including scoring have decreased compared to last year. However, we cannot let Lee’s energy, which cannot be converted into numbers, remain on the bench. We also have high expectations for his shooting sense from last season when he recorded 43.2 percent of three-point shooting success rate.

Shin Ji-won is the guardian deity of Hanyang University. There are no replacements. Ryu Jeong-ryeol, who is 207 cm tall, is accumulating experience, but he still needs time and experience. Shin averaged a double-double in the first half with 14.3 points and 11 rebounds. He is third in the league in rebounds. His average score is second in the team and 14th in the league. His total score is first in the team and ninth in the league. 동행복권파워볼

Shin Ji-won, a senior this year, has averaged more than 20 minutes since he was a freshman. His records are steadily rising, averaging 7.3 points and 5.4 rebounds in 2022 and 9.4 points and 6.4 rebounds in 2023. This season, he has become more mature in his finishing concentration and has risen to the ranks of the top big men in college, and Shin Ji-won’s growth is raising Hanyang University’s chances of making the playoffs for the second consecutive year.

The U.S. national basketball team, which is eying for the gold medal, will meet with Serbia, where Nikola Jokic will play, in the group stage of the 2024 Paris Olympics. Japan has teamed up with Germany and France. 토토사이트 추천

The final round of the 2024 Paris Olympics qualifying tournament (OQT) has been completed in Greece, Latvia and Puerto Rico on Sunday. Brazil beat Latvia 94-69, confirming its advance to the Olympics. Brazil is now in a group with host countries France, Germany and Japan in Group B.

Greece then beat Croatia 80-69. Greece, where Giannis Antetokounmpo is playing, has confirmed its advance to the Olympic finals for the first time in 16 years since 2008. Antetokounmpo was named the MVP of the OQT tournament held in Greece. He scored 23 points and eight rebounds in the final, and scored 22.5 points on average in the competition. Greece was in Group A with Australia, Canada, and Spain.

Lastly, Puerto Rico defeated Lithuania 79-68. It is the first time for Puerto Rico to participate in the Olympics since 2004. Jose Alvarado of the New Orleans Pelicans led the team with 23 points and six rebounds. Puerto Rico, which belongs to Group C, was also grouped with Serbia, the U.S., and South Sudan in Group C.

Basketball fans are paying attention to the U.S. national team. Led by Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr, LeBron James (Los Angeles Lakers), Kevin Durant (Pinix Sons) and Stephen Curry (Golden State) have been named. Other big man players such as Joel Embiid (Philadelphia 76ers), Anthony Davis (LA), and Bam Adebayo (Miami Heat) are also in good shape. Jason Tatum and Zru Halladay of the Boston Celtics were also picked for the 2023-24 season.

The U.S. has already won four consecutive Olympics. Strong competitors are Canada and France. The team ranked fourth in the 2024 FIBA Basketball World Cup, but it plans to have a large number of star players participate in the Olympics.

The U.S. will meet Serbia, South Sudan and Puerto Rico in turn. The first and second place in each group will head to the tournament, and two more teams with good performance among the third place teams will rise.

The performance of future resources is also necessary for LG. 토토사이트 모음

Changwon LG also advanced to the semifinal playoff in the 2023-2024 season. It also won the semifinal playoff series for the first time in nine years since the 2014-2015 season. It had two wins and two losses through the fourth game against its opponent Suwon KT. It had its final match at its home turf. However, it failed to surpass the firepower of Paris Bath (200 centimeters, F). It collapsed in front of the championship game once again.

After experiencing bitter taste in the semifinal, LG reorganized its squad. It sent key veterans Lee Jae-do (180 cm, G) and Lee Kwan-hee (191 cm, G) to the Goyang Sono and Wonju DB, respectively, and received Doo Kyung-min (183 cm, G) and Jeon Sung-hyun (188 cm, F) from the DB and Sono, respectively.

Heo Il-young (195cm, F) and Jang Min-guk (199cm, F) were newly acquired, and Choi Jin-soo (202cm, F) was also brought in as a trade. Asian quarter player and two-option foreign player were also replaced. The targets are Carl Tamayo (202cm, C) and Daryl Monroe (196cm, F).

The reason LG reorganized its team is to increase its competitiveness in the playoffs. “I felt a lot through the last playoff and championship game. When talented players are united altruistically, a team’s destructive power changes,” LG manager Cho Sang-hyun said, stressing its “big competence in games.”

However, LG does not just focus on the immediate future. It is focusing on the future. “Young players, such as Yang Joon-seok and Yoo Ki-ki, should grow up well. The same goes for Yang Hong-seok, who will return from the military. These players are the future of LG. The coaching staff should make efforts to help them grow up well,” LG manager Cho Sang-hyun said, reflecting on their “future resources.”

Yang Hong-seok (195 cm, F) has been assigned to the military after the end of the 2023-2024 season, and Yang Joon-seok (181 cm, G) and Yoo Ki-sang (188 cm, G) have to play a lot during the 2024-2025 season. First, Yang joined LG as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 KBL Domestic Rookie Draft. Despite injuring his anterior cruciate ligament during the college league, he received high praise.

Yang’s strengths are ‘managing the game’ and ‘carrying the ball.’ He is commonly referred to as the ‘orthodox point guard.’ LG manager Cho Sang-hyun also acknowledged Yang’s capabilities, saying, “He knows how to spray passes. In particular, when he hits fast after succeeding in defense, (Yang) gives good passes.”

And Yoo Ki-sang wore the LG uniform as the third overall pick in the 2023 KBL International Rookie Draft. Yoo, who boasts three points and shooting, received the Rookie of the Year award in the 2023-2024 season. He also participated in the warm-up match against Japan, which was held on the 5th and 7th. He also showed three points and defense in the warm-up match.

“He has potential as a shooter. He knows how to play his part in big games. He has improved his defense capabilities,” LG manager Cho Sang-hyun said in a positive light.

However, Yang Joon-seok and Yoo Ki-sang have not been reborn as the true future of LG. Only when both players take one step further can LG leave their future to them.

LG manager Cho Sang-hyun also said, “(Yang) needs to develop his physical and shooting skills. He needs to be a bit more aggressive. If Yoo and Yoo are in the same mood, he needs to have a faster shooting timing. We are sure of their strengths, but their tasks are also clear,” adding, “We paid more attention to their potential for development.

Yang Joon-seok and Yoo Ki-sang have teamed up since their days at Yonsei University. When the two players played together, there was a great synergy effect between them. Yonsei was also able to dominate the college stage in 2020 and 2021.

Those two players are considered the future of LG. But, as I said earlier, they should not stay in the future. They should move to ‘immediate power loss’ or ‘power augmentation resources’. If they cannot move on, LG cannot look to the future. Therefore, the LG coaching staff is paying considerable attention to Yang Joon-seok and Yoo Ki-sang.

The Korea Basketball Association will hold the “Inje 2024 National Youth Basketball Competition” in Inje-gun, Gangwon-do from August 8 to 11. The competition is hosted by the Korea Basketball Association and organized by the Inje County Basketball Association, and will be sponsored and sponsored by Inje County, Inje County Council, Inje County Sports Council, IS Dongseo, KB Kookmin Bank, Prospecs, Yuhan Bank, Jesspa and Molten Korea.

The Haneul Inje 2024 National Youth Basketball Competition is the largest youth competition in the country, and it aims to revitalize Korean youth club basketball and expand the base of local basketball. 138 teams from 14 types of men and women participate, covering all ages from elementary to high school. However, participation in the same club (school) per type is limited to two teams.

Therefore, registration of players and application for participation are also possible through the integrated game information system. Even if you have already registered as a team, you must join as a new team to participate in the tournament. The integrated game information system is already in effect in the i-League. 안전 슬롯사이트

In addition, the association plans to provide 120,000 won worth of Inje-gun gift certificates that can be used like cash in Inje-gun to teams participating in the tournament this year following last year, and plans to prepare various products to give joy to young basketball dreamers participating in the tournament.

The Sacramento Kings acquired Derma DeRozan on Wednesday. Sainen sent Harrison Barnes to the San Antonio Spurs in a trade format and Chris Duarte to the Chicago Bulls for a second-round pick.

With DeRozan’s recruitment, Sacramento has built a strong lineup. DeRozan has joined the ranks of De’Aaron Pax and Domantas Sabonis. He even has a lot of talent, including Keegan Murray, Kevin Hudder, and Malik Monk. With DeRozan’s recruitment, Sacramento is now in a position to pursue the Western Conference throne, 실시간 바카라사이트

Most fans’ eyes are welcoming DeRozan. Sacramento’s weakness in the 2023-2024 season was the absence of a player to release him from the offense when the Parks were blocked. Originally, the role was down to Monk, but he lost power due to an injury at the end of the season.

DeRozan averaged 24 points and 5.3 assists during the 2023-2024 season. Calmly, he is a different level from Monk. DeRozan is not an assistant to the Pax, but can form a one-two punch with the Pax. Also, because Monk has renewed his contract, Sacramento’s offense will become more colorful.

Experts, however, viewed DeRozan as pessimistic. CBS Sports, a U.S.-based media outlet, released its rating on DeRozan on Wednesday. Sacramento received D-, San Antonio received A+ and Chicago C. Sacramento received the lowest score.

DeRozan is a veteran player born in 1989. In order to recruit DeRozan, DeRozan even lost the right to draft picks, including Barnes and Duarte. DeRozan is also a player who has long balls and is weak in three points. Sacramento already has many players who have long balls, including Pax, Sabonis and Monk. It is questionable whether there will be a major upgrade in offense. DeRozan’s defense is close to the worst. “CBS Sports” said, “We need to sacrifice for DeRozan. Is there a reason?”

On the other hand, DeRozan is a famous steel king in the NBA and is an injury-free player. This will help Sacramento, which suffered from injuries to Hudders and Monk at the end of the season. He also added a positive point, saying that the gap between the injury-prone Parks could be fierce to some extent.

This makes sense. DeRozan is a quality player, but he is an old man in his mid-30s. Sacramento’s team color is young and fast attack basketball. It is true that it is offensive basketball, but fast basketball does not go well with DeRozan.

Perhaps the biggest problem is defense. Barnes went out and DeRozan came in, and Barnes is not as good a defense as he used to be due to aging, but he is also an above-average defender. On the other hand, DeRozan is one of the NBA’s worst defenders. Pax and Sabonis’ defenses are not good, so players like Murray and Keon Ellis are more likely to struggle. Sacramento’s defense in the 2023-2024 season was below average. Under those circumstances, Barnes went out and DeRozan joined.

Sacramento coach Mike Braun is well-known for placing importance on defense. The key to this is whether DeRozan can be incorporated into Sacramento’s basketball team.

Fu Bao, Korea’s first native-born giant panda, is set to return to the country next month — on the big screen.

At a press event Thursday promoting the upcoming documentary “My Dearest Fu Bao,” director Shim Hyung-jun described it as a “fairytale-like 홀짝게임 touching story” chronicling the three months leading up to Fu Bao’s departure, as seen through her caregivers’ eyes.

“It feels incredibly touching and almost unbelievable to complete the documentary,” said Kang Cheol-won, Fu Bao’s primary zookeeper, known as the “panda grandfather.”

“I was initially concerned about how we could make the movie both moving and fresh, given that people were already familiar with Fu Bao,” he said.

Addressing these concerns, the director focused on capturing the zookeepers’ innermost feelings and the deep bond between them and the Fu Bao family.

K-pop boy group NCT member Jaehyun will make his solo debut with the album “J” this month.

The artist’s agency, SM Entertainment, announced Thursday that he will be releasing his first solo album on Aug. 26, along with a trailer video.

The upcoming album will have a total of eight tracks, including the Korean and English versions of its title song “Smoke.”

“The album is filled with diverse colored music that will be presented through Jaehyun’s sensibility,” the agency said in the release.

“For this album, Jaehyun not only participated in writing lyrics and composing, but also came up with the direction of the work and the album’s title himself. Inspired by his habit of writing his initial ‘J’ on his personal belongings, he named the album ‘J’ to express that it reflects him to the fullest.”

The singer will drop two of the album’s tracks, “Roses” and “Dandelion,” on Aug. 12 prior to the album’s official release. The pre-release songs will hit music streaming platforms at 6 p.m. that day.

Jaehyun debuted as a member of multinational K-pop boy group NCT’s sub-unit group NCT U in 2016 with the single “The 7th Sense.” NCT is a 바카라게임 project by SM Entertainment that features sub-unit groups operating under the NCT umbrella, each based in major cities around the world.

The singer has been building the group act under NCT, NCT 127 and NCT DoJaeJung, releasing a string of hits like “Love on the Floor” (2021), “Sticker” (2021) and “Be There For Me” (2023).

He made his way into acting with the lead role in the romance series, “Dear.M,” in 2022. He is also set to make his silver screen debut in the upcoming thriller, “You Will Die in 6 Hours,” which began filming last year. He will play a mysterious man who can foresee other people’s deaths.

Having successful predecessors can be a double-edged sword. If there is someone you can model yourself on and get help from, your journey to achieving your goals will be safer and smoother. In negative instances, however, you can easily get trapped in a never-ending cycle of comparison.

For the members of boy band Hi-Fi Un!corn, debuting under FNC Entertainment — home to two popular bands FTISLAND and CNBLUE — is more of a blessing than a curse. Consisting of bassist Kiyoon, guitarist Hyunyul, drummer Min, vocalist Shuto and 커뮤니티 vocalist/guitarist Taemin, Hi-Fi Un!corn is FNC’s newest band that arrived on the music scene last year, which was formed on “The Idol Band : Boy’s Battle” — a Korean-Japanese joint audition program produced by FNC and the Japanese broadcaster TBS.

Tving’s upcoming drama “Queen Woo,” set in the Goguryeo Kingdom (37 B.C. – A.D. 668), has been embroiled in a controversy related to the issue of historical accuracy.

Slated for release on Aug. 29, the drama tells the story of a queen of Goguryeo who fights to secure the throne after her husband passes away unexpectedly.

However, the teaser videos and promotional stills have ignited debates online, with many saying the costumes and hairstyles of the characters appear to be heavily influenced by Chinese styles rather than accurately representing the Goguryeo period.

The main point of contention was the styling of key characters, including Eulpaso (Kim Mu-yeol), the highest-ranking official of Goguryeo; Go bal-gi (Lee Soo-hyuk), the vicious third prince and heir to the throne; and Go Nam-mu (Ji Chang-wook), the king.

Internet users claimed the middle-part hairstyle of the characters with topknots, hats and costumes are reminiscent of Chinese historical dramas set during the Warring States period or Qin Dynasty.

Criticism has been particularly sharp regarding the portrayal of Eulpaso, a well-known historical figure who served as the prime minister of Goguryeo 토토 in the second century. One online commenter pointed out that Eulpaso’s appearance closely resembles a character from the Chinese drama “The Qin Empire,” set during the late Warring States period.

Another said, “For a drama set in Goguryeo, we should have seen ‘jougwan’ (a headdress or topknot crowned with a pair of feathers) and gilt-bronze crowns. That’s what sets it apart from China. Even if 100 percent accuracy is difficult, they should have tried their best to get it as close as possible.”

The distinctive jougwan is featured in various Goguryeo artifacts including tombs and murals. This style of headdress was also prevalent among the people of the other Three Kingdoms of Korea states, Silla and Baekje. Gilt-bronze crowns served as a key distinguishing element of Goguryeo attire, setting it apart from Chinese clothing of the time.

Additionally, there has been criticism over the fact that Eulpaso’s clothing was fastened on the right side, which is Chinese style, whereas Goguryeo people traditionally fastened their clothing on the left side.
