RIO DE JANEIRO， Aug. 10 (Xinhua) -- Defending champion Li Xiaoxia went one step closer to make history as the third seed here made short work of Ai Fukuhara on Wednesday morning to book a place in the Rio Olympic table tennis women' s singles final.
There' s no paddler in the sport' s 28-year history as one of the Olympic Games program to have won back-to-back individual championship.
"Ai and I are good friends off court，" said Li. "I knew she' s playing very well these two days， so I had prepared to play a full-set semifinal. There' re just six or seven days left in my last Olympic Games and I want to enjoy it thoroughly."
Li beat Fukuhara in straight sets， 11-4， 11-3， 11-1， 11-1.
"My performance was not bad， but Xiaoxia' s better，" commented Fukuhara， who' s made her name well known by the world since more than a decade ago.
Leading 9-1 into the first set， the 28-year-old Li denied a late comeback from the sixth-seeded Japanese to win 11-4， before improving it to 2-0 on sets.
Kong Linghui， head coach of the Chinese women' s table tennis team as well as a Grand Slam winner himself， called a timeout for Li when she Led 2-0 and 4-1 in the third set， before the women' s Slam winner came back to the court and just let her opponent win a single point.
"Xiaoxia was the defending champion here and a winner of Grand Slam of table tennis. And I saw her going all out for the game against me and thought that I should do that too and pull nothing back，" said Fukuhara.
To the 27-year-old， who upset Singapore' s No. 2 seed Feng Tianwei 4-0 in the quarters， a place in the semifinals has been her best result so far in an Olympic Games as her best result in the previous three Olympic Games was reaching the quarterfinals in London.
"I was under pressure but Xiaoxia， as the defending champion and a member of the Chinese team， was even more pressured，" she said. "I have nothing to lose. I really do."
Failing to make the final though the all-time dominating Chinese， Fukuhara kept her nation's hope for a women's singles medal alive after Japan's top female paddler Kasumi Ishikawa crashed out in her opening match against DPR Korea's defender Kim Song I in Sunday's third round.
Later on Wednesday morning， Kim was picked up by twice world champion Ding Ning in the other semifinal with the winner between them going to the final and the other one playing earlier in the evening in the third-place play-off.
HOUSTON nike cortez rosse uomo , July 13 (Xinhua) -- The Houston Rockets on Sunday decided to let Chandler Parsons go, choosing not to match a three-year, 46 million U.S. dollars contract offered by the Dallas Mavericks.
Two days ago, they already traded away Jeremy Lin to free more salary cap to land Chris Bosh nike cortez rosse , unsuccessfully.
The Rockets made the decision not to match Parsons' offer sheet, because they believed that with the contracts held by Parsons, Dwight Howard and James Harden they would be essentially locked in to a team that was not strong enough to win a championship, a league source told the Houston Chronicle.
In such a move www.scarpecortez.it , Houston may be eyeing next summer when they could have up to max cap room to buy a top free agent who can join Howard and Harden to build the team into a championship contender.
They were trying to do that in the last couple of weeks when they first traded Omer Asik and then Lin to free up salary cap room. Houston wooed LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Bosh, among other big names.
They gave Lin's uniform number to 'Melo on a videoboard when he visited Houston, had all top executives and key players entertain him scarpe nike cortez saldi , but didn't win him over. Anthony opted to stay with the New York Knicks eventually, with a five-year, 120 million dollars deal.
Then it was Bosh. Everyone was expecting him to accept Houston's offer Friday when came the news that LeBron James had chosen to leave the Miami Heat and return to Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Rockets moved in to swipe the power forward of their dreams from the Heat. They even attached a first-round pick to Lin and agreed to send them to the Lakers, purging Lin's contract from the roster just as they had agreed to ship out Asik's.h But in a dramatic turn of events nike cortez uomo saldi , Bosh turned around and headed back to Miami, taking a five-year 118 million dollars max offer worth roughly 33 million dollars more than the Rockets could offer over four seasons.
The Rockets was practically left in limbo after all their eyed choices were gone. In an effort to mend the fence, they scrambled to sign the Washington Wizards free agent Trevor Ariza on Saturday.
Ariza, who played for Houston in 2009 season nike cortez saldi , agreed to a four-year, 32 million dollars contract to return to Houston, five years after they signed him away in free agency.
A 10-year veteran, Ariza is coming off perhaps his best season Scarpe Donne Nike Cortez Classic Nylon Viola Saldi , averaging 14.4 points for the Wizards, on 45.6 percent shooting and 40.7 percent 3-point shooting. He ranked among the league's top 15 players in 3-pointers made and 3-point shooting percentage and excelled defensively.
He does not, however, replace Bosh Scarpe Donne Nike Cortez Classic Nylon Arancio Bianche Saldi , who would have neatly slid in as a perfect fit power forward, in the Rockets' schemes. And Houston fans would not see him as a playmaker to lead the team to their dreamed championships.
On Sunday, Lin's tenure in Houston is officially over. After two seasons that began with enormous hopes and expectations and ended with a diminished and often controversial role coming off the bench, he might be more or less relieved leaving the team.
The Rockets completed their cap-clearing trade of Lin to the Lakers on Sunday Scarpe 2016 Nike Classic Cortez SP Nylon Olive Verde Marrone Saldi , the Lakers announced, with the Rockets sending Lin, a first-round pick and a second round pick to the Lakers.
Lin, four years in NBA Scarpe Donne Nike Cortez Classic Nylon Gialle Rosa Saldi , averaged 11.9 points and 4.8 assists in his career. He averaged 12.5 points and 4.1 assists last season, shooting a career best 44.6 . |
