At 19:00 on August 14, the quarter-finals of the men's basketball team in the Asian Cup, the Chinese men's basketball team will compete with the Korean men's basketball team. Although this South Korean team is weak and its overall performance in this Asian Cup is average, the Chinese men's basketball team must not be careless and must prevent their opponents from making "crazy" shots on the outside.

In the early morning of the 14th, the European Super Cup final was staged. Paris Saint-Germain fell 0:2 and scored 2 goals in a row at the end of the game, and then won 4:3 in the penalty shootout, thus defeating Tottenham 6:5 in a total score, winning the championship in the event for the first time in the team.

Snooker arena, the 1/8 finals of the 2025 Snooker Saudi Masters are all over, and the four Chinese players Zhao Xintong, Ding Junhui, Si Jiahui and Chang Bingyu all lost. As a result, the Chinese army was wiped out and no one advanced to the quarterfinals of this tournament.

Men's Basketball Asian Cup:

Chinese Men's Basketball Team will face the South Korean Men's Basketball Team tonight at 19:00 on August 14, the quarter-finals of the Men's Basketball Team in the Asian Cup, and the Chinese Men's Basketball Team will compete with the South Korean Men's Basketball Team.

The Korean men's basketball team has always been a team mainly based on outside shooting, but their performance on outside has declined significantly in recent years. However, this Asian Cup, the familiar Korean men's basketball team seems to be back. They are more like a "three-point team" and have a good shooting percentage.

Among them, players such as Lee Hyun-chung, Liu Ji-sang, and Lee Jung-hyun averaged about 10 three-point shots per game.

There is no doubt that the Chinese men's basketball team needs to defend against key players of the South Korean men's basketball team. Among them, Lee Hyun-chung is the number one scorer of the Korean men's basketball team. He averaged 19.3 points per game in the group stage, shot 32% from three-pointers, and made 10.3 shots per game.

In the Chinese men's basketball team, 20-year-old Wang Junjie is actually the most suitable player for the defensive conditions, but his experience in the competition is lacking, which requires Wang Junjie to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, maintain a normal mind, and take the initiative to assume more defensive responsibilities.

At the same time, for key outside players such as South Korean men's basketball team, such as Ryuki Sang and Lee Jung Hyun, the backcourt players of the Chinese men's basketball team also need to improve their defensive focus, intensity and sustainability. Among them, Gao Shiyan may get more time on the court, and his defensive strength and stealing ability are all things that the Chinese men's basketball team needs on the court.

For this quarter-final, the Chinese men's basketball team must be prepared for a protracted battle. If the opponent can be continuously consumed and their physical fitness will decline before the final quarter, then the opponent's shooting performance will most likely have problems, which is also a critical period for the Chinese men's basketball team to win the game.

European Super Cup: Paris Saint-Germain reversed Tottenham with a total score of 6:5, winning the first championship

In the early morning of August 14, the European Super Cup final was staged. Paris Saint-Germain fell 0:2 and scored 2 goals in a row at the end of the game, and then won 4:3 in the penalty shootout, thus defeating Tottenham with a total score of 6:5, winning the championship in the event for the first time in the team's history.

Although Paris Saint-Germain was the Champions League champion last season, they have not played any game for a month after the Club World Cup final, and before the Super Cup final, the main goalkeeper Donaluma announced his departure, which completely made the conflicts within the team open.

As expected, affected by so many adverse factors, the entire Paris Saint-Germain team was in a state after the opening. In the first half, Paris Saint-Germain shot 0 shots in four shots, and the threatening attack was even worse than Tottenham. Tottenham also successfully broke the deadlock on the court with Van Devin's random shot in front of the goal in the 39th minute.

After changing sides, Tottenham successfully started again. In the 48th minute, after receiving a set ball, the newly promoted captain Romero easily headed the ball to expand the advantage for Tottenham.

Seeing that he was about to lose two consecutive championships in one month, Paris Saint-Germain finally woke up like a dream. At the end of the game, Paris Saint-Germain first relied on a substitute Li Gangren to win a goal, and then center Ramos, who also appeared on the substitute, tied Paris Saint-Germain in stoppage time.

In the penalty shootout, Vitinia of Paris Saint-Germain lost the penalty, but Tottenham's Van Devin and Terr lost one after another. In the end, Paris Saint-Germain reversed Tottenham with a total score of 6:5, winning the European Super Cup championship for the first time in the team's history. Paris Saint-Germain avoided repeating the mistake of losing to Chelsea a month ago in the Club World Cup.

This year, Paris Saint-Germain has won five championships: French Super Cup, French Ligue 1 Championship, French Cup, European Cup and European Super Cup. If it can reach the top again in the Intercontinental Cup in December, Paris will achieve the feat of the annual "six-champion".

Premier League:

Liverpool signed 18-year-old Italian central defender Leoni

In the early morning of August 14, well-known transfer expert Romano confirmed with the iconic "here we go" that Premier League champion Liverpool successfully signed 18-year-old Italian central defender Leoni. Players will not be loaned out and Leoni will be part of Slot's roster.

It is reported that Liverpool will pay Leoni about 35 million euros transfer fee to Serie A Parma. In addition, if Liverpool sells Leoni in the future, Parma will also have a second transfer share.

Leoni, born in 2006, plays as a central defender. He is 1.96 meters tall and has excellent physical fitness. Last season, Leoni made 17 appearances for Parma, including 14 starts. During his appearance, Leoni was not at a disadvantage in Lukaku.

Previously, Leoni had received attention from many Serie A giants such as AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus, but was discouraged because he could not meet Parma's asking price of 40 million euros. Currently, Leoni's latest net worth in Germany's "Transfer Market" is 18 million euros.

Currently, Liverpool has three central defenders, Van Dijk, Connate and Gomez. But Gomez is repeatedly injured and often needs to play a guest right-back, so after Leoni joins, he is expected to get many opportunities to show off his talents at Liverpool. He is undoubtedly the successor of Van Dyke, who is very optimistic about Slotte..
