Doncic and Adetokounbo float for the last train to Paris… 24 countries will clash over just four Olympic tickets

The war begins for the last ticket to the Paris Olympics.

From the 3rd, the men’s basketball qualifying tournament for the 2024 Paris Olympics will be held in Spain, Latvia, Greece and Puerto Rico.

A total of 12 teams will participate in men’s basketball competitions at the Paris Olympics, which will kick off in late July. Eight spots have already been decided. Along with France, the host country, the U.S., Germany, Japan, Canada, Serbia, South Sudan and Australia have joined the teams with top performance in each continent at the 2023 FIBA World Cup.

As many as 24 countries will clash for the remaining four spots. Qualifying tournaments will be held in four different countries – Valencia, Latvia, Liga, Greece’s Piraeus and San Juan, Puerto Rico. Six teams will be assigned to each region, and the winner will be decided in two groups through a tournament method. The winning team will eventually advance to the Paris Olympics. 메이저사이트

NBA superstars will also make an appearance in the final qualifying round. Finland’s Lowry Makanen and Latvia’s Kristaps Porzingis failed to participate, but Luca Doncic, Janis Antetokounmpo and Domantas Sabonis were listed.

The name that attracts the most attention is Doncic. Doncic, who is serious about playing for the national team, has been going all the way to the NBA Finals since last year’s World Cup, but soon started hunting for tickets to the Paris Olympics.

Doncic made the cut at the Tokyo Olympics for the first time in history to bring Slovenia to the finals. “We’re getting used to going back to European basketball mode,” Doncic said. “Our only goal is to the Olympics. Everyone remembers what happened three years ago at the qualifying tournament.”

If Slovenia passes Group A of the regional preliminary round in Greece consisting of Croatia and New Zealand, it will participate in a tournament in which teams in Group B will play together. The two superstars, Antetokounmpo and Doncic of Greece, who own home advantage, will also have a showdown.

Antetokounmpo did not play well in the last NBA Playoffs due to his injury, but he will participate in the qualifying round for this year’s Olympics. He is Antetokounmpo’s Greece, which has elevated his physical condition through warm-up matches ahead of the recent Olympic qualifying round.

Players familiar to Korean fans will also participate in the qualifying tournament.

LG’s Asem Marei has been excluded from the roster of Egypt, but Omari Spellman, who used to play in the Jeonggwanjang, will join the Lebanon national team. Spellman, who had been agonizing over his weight loss, appeared in a completely different body in a friendly match with Lithuania. Carl Tamayo of the Philippines, who will serve as LG’s Asia quarter starting this upcoming season, will also join the team.

Meanwhile, unlike men’s basketball, 12 Olympic teams have already been selected for women’s basketball. France, China, Puerto Rico, Belgium, Nigeria, Australia, Germany, Serbia, Japan, Spain, and Canada will participate in the event, including the U.S. that will absolutely win the first place.

The past month ended in 34 seconds, but the future of women’s basketball did not lose its smile

The Korean U18 women’s team finished fourth in the ‘2024 FIBA U18 Women’s Asia Cup’ held in Shenzhen, China on the 24th. The future of Korean women’s basketball succeeded in advancing to the semifinals, which was their goal, by sweating on the court for about a month from the beginning to the end of the competition. As a result, the team earned a berth to the 2025 U19 Basketball World Cup.

However, guard Jeong Chae-won (174 centimeters, senior at Bundang Management High School), who was listed as the starting player at the match against Taiwan, the first game of the championship, showed tears due to knee injury while playing defense. Eventually, Jeong returned to Korea early, and the month he prepared with his teammates ended in just 34 seconds.

Since then, Jung has visited the airport to greet the national team on the first day when the team returned home. The team also has his younger brother, Jeong Chae-ah (177 cm, Bundang Management High School 2). “I came here to see my younger brother and my teammates, and the coach and the coach,” Jung said.

He was more regretful than anyone else, but he looked more comfortable. “Honestly, I was upset and sad. I had a hard time working out for a month, but I couldn’t run for 40 seconds and got hurt. It hurt for a short time, but it was harder for me to get off the court with regret and upset than pain,” he said. 동행복권파워볼

When she started playing basketball, Jeong consistently made her name known as a rising star in women’s basketball. However, she never played with the national team. She swallowed up her regret due to an injury while preparing for the U16 national team.

“I don’t think I’m lucky overseas,” smiling, Jeong said. “I got hurt in Taiwan last year as well as during the U16. I don’t think I have any relationship with foreign countries. I think I’ve failed this time. I think there will be better things to come in the future.”

The injury is fatal to high school senior Chung Chae-won, who is about to draft the WKBL. Nevertheless, his colleagues were able to talk with a smile like this.

“I got hurt in China and everyone around me took really good care of me, including the coach and the coach,” Jeong said. “I got better thanks to my teammates. My teammates prepared me a surprise letter gave me strength,” Jeong said. “I got hurt at an important time, but I will do my best to rehabilitate and improve my physical condition. I want to prepare well so that I can be selected for the U19 national team with my friends as well as the draft.”

Director Bickerstaff Finds New Job In 1 Month…Set to sign a five-year contract with Detroit

Coach J.B. Bickerstaff, who resigned as Cleveland manager about a month ago, has found a new job. He will take the helm of Detroit. Local media including ESPN reported on Monday (Korea time) that the Detroit Pistons have appointed Bickerstaff as their new coach. He plans to sign a five-year contract.

As Bickerstaff manager, he found his new job about a month after he was fired by the Cleveland Cavaliers. After serving as coach of the Memphis Grizzlies, Bickerstaff was appointed as Cleveland manager in February 2020. After undergoing rebuilding under Bickerstaff, Cleveland ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference for two consecutive seasons from the 2022-2023 season. 카지노사이트 모음

Bickerstaff led his team’s revival after moving to LeBron James (L.A. Lakers), but continued to accompany Cleveland until last season. Cleveland ended up 1-4 in the second round of the Eastern Conference playoff against the Boston Celtics, and replaced Bickerstaff on May 24.

Bickerstaff will lead another team that is going through a dark period after Cleveland. Detroit has appointed Bickerstaff as its new coach. Detroit is the weakest team in the Eastern Conference for three times in the last four seasons. Last year, he signed a mega-contract of 78.5 million U.S. dollars for six years with Monty Williams to escape from the bottom ranks, but only had the lowest winning rate in the two conferences (14 wins, 69 losses, and a winning rate of .171). He also had the disgrace of losing 28 games in a single season, the most in a row.

Detroit fired Williams on the 20th of last month at the risk of huge losses that it had to pay the remaining salary for the next five years. In 10 days, he signed a contract with Bickerstaff and filled the manager’s position. According to local media, Detroit has reportedly guaranteed Bickerstaff a four-year salary during his term.

Despite the steady supply and demand of promising players, Detroit has repeated for years that it is impossible for the team to leave the bottom just because of its “youngness.” Will Bickerstaff fulfill Detroit’s wish to win more games just as it did when LeBron James rebuilt Cleveland? Bickerstaff is put to the test.

‘Curry-CP3 combination is over’ Chris Paul released from GSW… FA market key variables emerge

Chris Paul is leaving the Golden State. Chris Haynes, reporter for “Blitzer Report,” reported on the 1st (Korea time) that the Golden State Warriors will release Chris Paul.

Once competing for MVP, Paul was one of the most famous guards of his time. He lived in the NBA for a long time and went on to the final stage of his dream in 2021. 토토사이트 순위

However, as Paul was born in 1985, he could never go against the passage of time. Phoenix, which wanted to recruit Bradley Beal ahead of the last season, let go of Paul in a trade.

The team that embraced Paul ended up in Washington was the Golden State. Golden State, which continued its winnow for the championship, gave up Jordan Pool and tried to recruit Paul. Stephen Curry’s meeting with Chris Paul became a hot topic of conversation.

Paul, who mostly played on the bench in Golden State uniforms, scored 9.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 6.8 assists on average. It was a great help to strengthen the team’s bench strength.

However, it was inefficient to use him on the bench given his salary of more than $30 million. There was also a limit to increasing playing time because the team had an outstanding guard Curry.

There was a lot of talk about the extension of Paul and Golden State, whose $30 million contract in the 2024-2025 season was not guaranteed. Amid rumors of a trade with other teams, Golden State, which had a lot of salary cap pressure, eventually released Paul.

Paul is expected to receive a lot of attention when he enters the FA market. Rumors are already being raised that he will move to San Antonio, where he has a top prospect named Victor Wembanyama, the Lakers who are likely to renew his contract with his best friend LeBron James. What choice will Paul, who is entering the final years of his career, make?

All-Star rebound machine back to Embiid backup… Drummond signs two-year deal with PHI

Drummond is going to Philadelphia again. 안전 슬롯사이트

Hoops Hype reported on the 1st (Korea Standard Time) that the Philadelphia 76ers signed Andre Drummond.

The Philadelphia Phillies have been called the biggest player this summer, securing significant salary cap space. As a result, they continue to be connected to Paul George and other big names.

In addition to its big names, it is also necessary to recruit players who have many empty spots on the roster. Except for Joel Embiid, an MVP-turned-center, and Tyreece Maxey, who is certain to renew his contract, Philadelphia needs to make a completely new game.

Drummond is a backup resource that can solve Embiid’s weakness of durability. Philadelphia was not satisfied with Paul Reed’s performance last season and is likely to break up with him.

Drummond, who was an All-Star player in the past, is a strong contender, as he has grabbed four rebounds. In the last season, he scored 8.4 points and 9.0 rebounds as a backup to Nikola Vucevic in Chicago.

Although Embiid’s value has declined due to his assessment that he does not fit the modern basketball trend, Embiid is a full-fledged player. With his memory of playing for the Philadelphia Phillies during the 2021-2022 season, he will likely be able to adapt himself to the team easily.

“Leaving the country wearing suits.” This is the difference between Korea and Japan

Apart from the difference in skills, the attitude toward 3×3 was different from that of Korea. The sixth round of the NH Nonghyup Bank 2024 KXO 3×3 Budget Tour and KXO League, which ended on Thursday, has successfully completed all scheduled matches despite sudden changes in weather caused by rainy season. The star of the sixth round of the KXO League, which was highly anticipated by Japanese teams, became Sagamihara of Japan.

KXO (Korea 3×3 Basketball Federation), which began exchanges with overseas basketball associations and teams in various ways earlier this year, will join Japan’s Sagamihara and Shinagawa in the sixth round of the KXO League and join them until the seventh round of the KXO League, which is scheduled to be held in August.

Initially, a total of three Japanese 3×3 teams were scheduled to participate in the KXO League until Shinshu, but two Shinshu players from the B League (Japan Professional Basketball League) changed their schedule to call up the existing B-League team, which unfortunately failed to make Shinshu play in the sixth round.

Except for Shinshu, Sagamihara and Shinagawa joined the sixth round of the KXO League as scheduled, and Sagamihara won the sixth round and won the FIBA 3×3 Kaohsiung Challenger 2024 ticket. The honor of winning went to Sagamihara, but Shinagawa impressed KXO officials.

Shinagawa, who entered the KXO league with Naoto Ito (30 years old, 167 centimeters), Hiroto Takeda (20 years old, 190 centimeters), Hotaka Kato (25 years old, 185 centimeters), and Ryoichi Dewa (30 years old, 190 centimeters) in the semifinals, failed to advance to the final unfortunately, allowing Sagamihara a buzzer-beater.

Shinagawa, who is excellent enough to finish second in the 3×3 Japanese Tour in 2023 and second in the EXE Premier League in 2023, has more than 10 players, including Glorda Bourla from Congo, in addition to the four Japanese players who visited Korea this time.

His first impression was not that threatening. He was not a player with small stature and muscular body. Shinagawa, however, was very well prepared as Naoto Ito, the shortest player in the team at 167 centimeters, could play defense under the basket against Sagamihara, which includes players from Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

In particular, the constant pattern play and vigorous exercise that anyone can see the difference from the Korean 3×3 teams helped me understand at once why Shinagawa players of similar physical size to Koreans showed a high level of performance in the physical game 3×3.

Naoto Ito of Shinagawa said, “We have jobs that everyone has seen, including salespeople and engineers. Everyone played basketball until high school and college, and now they are working as office workers and professional 3×3 players.”

“Everyone has their day jobs, but we are also professional 3×3 players, so we are very serious about participating in 3×3 tournaments. Last year, they were the runner-up in two major Japanese 3×3 tournaments and participated in the FIBA 3×3 World Tour, and they are very committed to participating in the KXO League this time due to their strong sense of challenge. Although they don’t receive as much salary as a 5:5 professional basketball player, they still pride themselves on being a professional 3×3 player,” he said. 에볼루션 바카라사이트

Unfortunately, Shinagawa, who missed the championship but made a strong impression on the Korean 3×3 stage, left Korea by plane at 7 a.m. on the 1st (Monday). When the competition was over, the Shinagawa players immediately returned to their daily lives. In particular, Naoto Ito and Hiroto Takeda headed to the airport wearing suits, saying they had to go to work immediately after entering Japan. They were Shinagawa players who didn’t hesitate to participate in the KXO League to stand on a 3×3 court, even though they knew they had to get on a plane to go to work.

“It seems like going to work all night long is the life of a professional 3×3 player (laughs). We have to do well in both areas. In order to do 3×3, you have to keep your job sharp. As a 3×3 player, you don’t get paid a lot of money, you need a job to live your life. There are some difficulties, but I think I will continue this life until I feel less inclined towards 3×3.”

On June 29 and 30, the 2024 Woori WON 3×3 Triple Jam hosted by the WKBL (Korea Women’s Basketball Federation) was held as well as the NH Nonghyup Bank 2024 KXO 3×3 budget tour and the sixth round of the KXO League. Tickets for the international competition were also at stake, and the championship was won by Japan’s Florishi Gunma.

Coincidentally, two tickets for men’s and women’s 3×3 international competitions, which were held in two domestic 3×3 competitions held on the same day, were all given to Japanese 3×3 teams. The stage was prepared by Korea, but the main characters were the Japanese 3×3 teams. With great disappointment, it became the last weekend of June, when I realized how much the difference between Korea and Japan’s 3×3 has widened, which began with their perception of 3×3.

Genji defeats DRX in a nail-biter to win inaugural title

The Olympic Park handball stadium was packed with 3,000 spectators and the fans were roaring. It was a nail-biter that went into double overtime. Zenji won its first Pacific League championship in a thrilling come-from-behind victory.

Genji defeated DRX 3-1 (6-13, 18-16, 14-12, 13-6) in the Pacific League Stage 2 Final of the 2024 Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) at the Seoul Olympic Park Handball Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The victory earned Genji its first title, $100,000 in prize money and the No. 1 seed in the Pacific League at Champions Seoul in August. Sang-beom “Munchkin” Byun was named MVP.

After reaching the finals through the winner’s bracket finals, Genji chose Haven as their first map after eliminating Sunset and Abyss, followed by DRX on Bind, Genji on Lotus, and DRX on Icebox. The remaining map, Ascent, was decided for the final five-set match.

Overcoming the disadvantages of the map banfic, the first game started favorably for RDX. They went on the offensive in Haven, scoring a staggering nine consecutive rounds of destruction in the first half of the game to take the first set 13-6 and take control of the match.

Sets two and three were the highlights of the final. After losing the opening game, ZENGE came out aggressively 파워볼실시간 in the second set and took a 7-5 lead, but DRX fought back to tie the game at 12-12 and force overtime. After 10 more rounds of back-and-forth action, Genji edged out DRX 18-16 to even the set at 1-1.

Set three, ‘Lotus’, was equally as intense, with both teams fighting hard. After ending the first half with a 7-5 lead, ZENZY managed to take a single late point to make it 11-8, only to see DRX take four more rounds to make it 12-11.

With only one round left to take the set, ZENZY took the 24th round to force the second overtime of the day. Coming from behind, ZENZY took the 25th and 26th rounds, both defensively and offensively, to take the set 2-1.

Perhaps exhausted from the two overtime periods, RDX collapsed sharply in the fourth round after a strong start to the fourth set in the ‘Icebox’. Genji, who showed weaknesses in pistol rounds, went into the second half with a 7-5 lead after the first half, thanks to their defense in round four. In the second half, they scored six kills to close out the final 13-6.

KIA’s No. 1 solo leader, Park Jeon-moon, returns to the game ‘9th inning is strong’

Park Jeon-moon is back in the game.

Kia Tigers right-hander Jeon Sang-hyun (28) once said that he had forgotten about Park Jeon-moon. Most athletes have a habit of going back to their good days when they’re not performing well. However, Jeon believes that going back to the past is not the right answer because his body is different from his current body.

That’s how Jeon overcame a mini-slump in the first half of the 2023 season and returned to being a reliable main setup man in the second half. He regained his power by utilizing his long extension and finding the right pitching balance for his body. Unlike his nagging injuries in 2022, he had a healthy year.

This season is no different. Jeon has been as consistent as a green pine tree. Of course, this season also had its bad moments. He gave up a few big runs at the beginning of the season, and his ERA was out of control. His ERA is still in the four-run range (4.64). However, Jeon always takes the mound and pitches his game, even when things aren’t going well, he doesn’t run away and collapse.

Finisher Jung Hae-young complained of shoulder muscle pain in the first game of the Gwangju doubleheader against the Hanwha Eagles on June 23. He left the team. Jeon struggled in that game, giving up two runs in one inning. However, in the second game of the doubleheader, the first game after Jeong’s departure, he pitched a scoreless inning.

In seven games in July, he allowed two runs (one earned) on nine hits, five walks, four strikeouts, and four strikeouts in nine innings for a 2-4 record and a 1.00 ERA. Including the two 메이저사이트 games of Hanwha’s doubleheader, his ERA was 2.45 in nine games. The team’s closing staff has improved since Jung’s departure.

He is the same closing force he was when Park was in the organization, but he took a break due to injury. As he said, he changed his body and mind. But the scene of Jeon protecting KIA’s lead and sealing the win remains the same. Kia won all seven games in July in which Jeon pitched.

The game against the Hanwha Eagles on the 21st was a difficult one. The team was trailing from the middle of the game. In the ninth inning, Choi Hyung-woo’s three-run homer suddenly turned the game around and created a save situation. In reality, Lee Bum-ho was right to utilize a closer. Jeon Sang-hyun might have been prepared to pitch on short notice, or he might not have warmed up as much as he normally does.

However, Jeon earned the save with one inning of two-hit ball, striking out one and walking none. He finished the game with a mid-90s fastball, forkball, and slider. The KIA bullpen was down to Jeong Jung-young and Choi Ji-min. However, Jeon Sang-hyun pitched a solid ninth inning. He was the key to Kia’s late inning comeback to take the lead.

Cardenas homers for second straight day

The Samsung Baseball Organization (KBO) announced on Tuesday that it has released foreign-born outfielder David McKinnon and signed Ruben Cardenas. McKinnon had a strong March and April, leading the team in batting average at one point, hitting .369 (27-for-69) with two home runs and nine RBIs. Despite his lack of power, he served as the lifeblood of the center field lineup with a mid-three percent walk rate and an excellent plate discipline, drawing more than twice as many walks (15) as strikeouts (7).

Since May, however, McKinnon’s bat has gone cold. His home park, Samsung Lions Park, is one of the best places to hit home runs, but his long ball poverty remained, and his declining batting average made him less useful. Eventually, McKinnon left the KBO with a .294 (80-for-272) batting average with four home runs and 36 RBIs.

McKinnon was replaced by Cardenas, a one-hit wonder from the United States. This year, despite playing in the Triple-A International League, an American minor league known for its two-hitter, Cardenas hit .277 with 20 home runs and 56 RBIs in 75 games. He’s the opposite of McKinnon in that he has a lower batting average but can still hit for power.

Cardenas, who arrived in South Korea on March 13, made his KBO debut in a three-game series against Lotte on March 19. After adjusting his bat with a single on his debut, Cardenas showed off his long ball with a solo shot in the sixth inning. The home run traveled a whopping 140 meters.

In his third game in the KBO, Cardenas had an “accident” of sorts. He proved why Samsung brought him in with a 카지노 커뮤니티 long home run. Cardenas hit a game-tying two-run shot with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning, trailing 4-5, to lift Samsung to a 6-5 victory over Lotte in the 2024 KBO League at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu, South Korea, on Sunday.

Cardenas, who had started the rally with a single down the left-field line in the fifth inning with Samsung trailing 1-4, pulled a 131-kilometer-per-hour forkball up the middle from Lotte closer Kim Won-joong in the bottom of the ninth. It was a big hit that was instantly recognizable as a home run, and the 24,000 fans at Samsung Lions Park rose to their feet to celebrate the new foreign hitter’s explosive long ball. With his 3-for-5 day, Cardenas is now batting .400 (6-for-15) with two home runs and five RBIs in his first three games. Four of his six hits have been for extra bases (two home runs, two doubles).

Third-place Samsung (50-2, 43 points), which swept a three-game weekend series against Lotte with two straight wins, beat Doosan 6-3 at night to stay within one game of second-place LG (51-2, 42 points), which has won five straight.

In Daejeon, Kia beat Hanwha 8-7 in the ninth inning on a come-from-behind three-run homer by Choi Hyung-woo to extend the Pajuk’s winning streak to six games. Hanwha lost its seventh straight game. NC defeated KT 8-2 in Suwon, while Kiwoom escaped a six-game losing streak with a 7-2 win over SSG in Incheon.
