Football – ESP – Cup

Valencia defeated Cadiz on Wednesday in the King's Cup quarter-finals (2-1) at the Mestalla stadium on goals from Gonçalo Guedes and Hugo Duro.

Portuguese striker Gonçalo Guedes (24th) opened the scoring, allowing Valencia to lead at the break against an Andalusian side who, with zero shots on target from their five attempts during the first period, showed their offensive limits. A history of corners When they returned from the locker room, Cadiz did not wait long before they caught up. On a corner, Valencia defender Eray Ervin Cömert is guilty of pulling Juan Cola's shirt into the area. After checking the VAR, midfielder Lucas Perez converted the pe...

Players of the week | A first for over four years for Chris Paul! | NBA

Before facing each other in a week for the first time this season and then (most likely) meeting at the next All-Star Game, Joel Embiid and Chris Paul were first decorated together by the NBA, which named "Players of The Week" of their respective conferences. In the East, Joel Embiid was thus preferred to Jimmy Butler, Darius Garland, Jayson Tatum, Trae Young or even Franz Wagner. And it's not really a surprise, since the Sixers pivot, undefeated in three games with his training, once again posted insane individual statistics last week: 34.7 points, 11.7 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 2.3 blocks. average, 50% on shots and 78% on free throws! This is the 6th time that the Cameroonian has won this distinction during his career and it is surprisingly a first for him this season, when he ...

The Hawks overthrow the Lakers in the last quarter | NBA

As they have just learned that LeBron James must take a rest period to treat his sore left knee, the Lakers have suffered another frustrating loss during their "road trip" to the East, which is finally coming to an end. And this time, it was the Hawks who managed to dominate the "Purple & Gold", thanks to a superb fourth quarter, won with a score of 38-20. In the wake, also, of an excellent Trae Young (36 points, 5 rebounds, 12 assists), well supported by his interiors, Onyeka Okongwu in the lead. Despite all the efforts of the trio Russell Westbrook – Malik Monk – Anthony Davis (80 points in total), Atlanta therefore won a seventh victory in a row and continued, above all, its rise in the standings in the East, while Los Angeles still remains out of the Top 8 in the West. WHAT Y...

Kristaps Porzingis’ knee is acting up again | NBA

Kristaps Porzingis may have gone for a ride with his right knee that has been battering him since his meniscus tear in the same knee contracted in the Orlando bubble in August 2020. Last night, the Latvian interior was only able to stay on the field for 11 minutes, enough time to score 5 points and take 1 rebound before going out and quickly forfeiting the rest of the game Dallas won against Indiana. . “He said he was a little worried. I hope it's nothing. If he's in pain, it doesn't make sense to play," reacted Luka Doncic after the meeting. As a result, Kristaps Porzingis will not travel to Orlando with the rest of the team and will therefore undergo additional examinations to find out more about the condition of his knee and possibly the duration of his unavailability. ...

The MVP of the night | The unbearable irregularity of Jayson Tatum | NBA

Perhaps this season there is none more frustrating than Jayson Tatum. That's what Celtics fans must be thinking as they experience a roller coaster-like season of hot shots and flops from the Boston star. Against the Wizards, he planted 51 points, then continued with a performance of 36 points against the Kings, and the Celtics flew over the debates. Behind, he signs an ugly 5 of 17 on shots, and the Celtics lose Friday in Atlanta. That night, in New Orleans, he found his paw with 38 points on 17 of 26 on shots, and Boston found a smile to win 107-97. It is simply his best shooting performance of the season, at 65%, and he adds 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals. Only his 4 of 13 from 3-pointers does the job, even if he puts an important winning shot in the "money time", but ...

Rick Carlisle moved to tears by Mavericks tribute | NBA

After 13 seasons at the head of the Mavericks, marked by the 2011 title, Rick Carlisle found Dallas. Absent during the meeting between the Mavs and the Pacers, on December 10, because he was then in quarantine, the moment was therefore special, and the coach had a hard time holding back his tears at the time of the video tribute. " I did not expect that ", commented the 62-year-old technician after the heavy defeat of his team. “The only other time I felt that kind of emotion was when we hoisted the league banner in the first game of the 2011/12 season, which was cut short by the lockout. It was the same kind of feeling. I didn't expect something like this. It was a wonderful gesture, which I greatly appreciate. » In addition to the sporting aspect, this return to Texas was s...

With a great Ja Morant, the Grizzlies devour the Wizards | NBA

Another big performance from the Grizzlies who knew how to manage the Wizards with great mastery by betting on a dazzling start and consistency until the end. On arrival, there was practically no match between the two teams as Memphis dominated its subject, going so far as to lead by 27 points. The locals capitalized on their successful start with an aggressive Ja Morant, an already skilful Desmond Bane and an imperial Jackson Jr-Adams tandem under the panels. So much so that after a 3-pointer and a left-handed lay-up from Ja Morant, Memphis was already leading by 18 points after 9 minutes of play (28-10). The Grizzlies kept their foot on the accelerator in the second quarter, increasing the gap to +21 following Desmond Bane's three straight baskets (44-23). From there, the loc...

Failing to be popular with fans, Jrue Holiday is content with the respect of his peers | NBA

To be All-Star at 22 years old by turning to 19 points on average (at the time of selection) and playing in a team with a negative balance sheet? Yes it's possible. Jrue Holiday achieved this small feat in 2013, during his last season with the team that drafted him, the 76ers. Despite his best statistical years that followed with the Pelicans, the point guard never won a second star. And it probably won't be for this year either. While, paradoxically, he displays a statistical level comparable to that of the 2012/13 season and plays mainly with the defending champions, the Bucks. While his teammate, Giannis Antetokounmpo, was logically designated among the holders of the conference, the leader did not even finish in the Top 10 of the "backcourt" of his conference. If we stop...
