Stephen Curry Scored 40 in 3 Quarters, Leading Warrior Winning the Opener

      Stephen Curry Scored 40 Points in the Opener Game

       Stephen Curry threw his arm in the air in delight and body bumped teammates after knocking down shots from all over the floor, and it all looked so familiar to what happened here only four months ago.The NBA MVP showed in a hurry he hasn't lost a step or his swagger, scoring 40 points to lead the Golden State Warriors to a 111-95 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night to open their title defense.

       Stephen Curry was the MVP of regular games last season and ler his team, the Golden State Warrior, win the NBA title for that season. He has been regarded as one of best players in NBA this season and ESPN has ranked him as top five players who have the greatest potential to win the MVP. Certainly, Curry used that amazing game to show ESPN that he should be the only one to be considered as MVP for this season. Comparing his performance with that of LBJ, whose final shot has been ruthlessly blocked by Gassol in his opener game, that he lost his first game against Chicago bulls by 97:99, Stephen Curry has since been in the leading position to win the MVP this season.

     In the game against New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night, Stephen unbelievably scored 24 points in the first quater, with 7 out of 9 shots on target and 4 3-points shots. He only used 32 minutes to score 40 points with 7 assistants and 6 rebounds.
    While Anthony Davis had a really poor perfamnce in that game with 1 out 16 shits in target by the time Curry had reached 40 points, and New Orleans gave up that game by the end of third quarter had ended.
     This game showed that Stephen Curry along with other newly born superstars, has been taking the dominant power in NBA, and mightf replace the place of LBJ and Kobe in this season, since LBJ is 31 years.
   

Melo Scored 21 points Making NY Knicks Win the Game against Washington Wizard

Melo Scored 21 points Making NY Knicks Win the Game against Washington Wizard

After a very disappointing season, Carmelo claimed his glorious return by keeping his strong performance 2 game in the row. Carmelo Anthony continued his return from a knee operation with his second straight strong performance, scoring 21 points in 25 minutes as the New York Knicks beat the Washington Wizards 115-104 on Friday night.

Anthony underwent a left knee surgery last season that had resulted him not being able to play the rest of the last season since the all star weekend that hosted in New York city. The New York Knicks, therefore, received its worst season performance since Carmelo Anthony has been in use squad. Lots of experts from ESPN have pointed out that the chance for New York Knicks back to the playoff this coming season is virtually impossible, and also claimed that Anthony has passed his best time of basketball. 

However, Anthony and New York Knicks seem quite strong and fully prepared now. In his first game since surgery, Anthony shot 8 of 10 for 17 points against Paschoalotto Bauru of Brazil. He managed to keep his top performance to the second game against Washington Wizard, the playoff team last season, by shooting 10 out of 15, including 4 of 5 in the second half. He made a pretty turnaround fade away from 18 feet with 1.9 seconds remaining in the first half.

The New York Knicks took this game by scoring 115 to 104. Now, is New York Knicks fully prepared to get into playoff this season? Is Melo prepared to show his dominant power over others in NBA? We might know those answers soon in a month.

          Sportsmanship 

Today`s press often built a sport star`s success as how much money and honor he has . The general public, to some extent, loves to hear and admired the extreme wealth of a superstar in football, soccer, basketball, baseball, etc. However, the very nature of a sport is not about monetary achievement or honors but a spirit and enjoyment— that is, the sportsmanship. 

When I was a young boy, I did not really care about sports util when I was entering 4th grade. I met some good friends in the 4th grade ,and started to play soccer with them as pastime. I had always been enjoying watching soccer but never got a chance to play it before. I, surprisingly liked playing soccer immediately after. I clearly remembered my friends and I played soccer in the soccer field at our elementary school, sometimes even on the basketball field. 

I at this point did not have ideas about entering JV or varsity soccer team, or planning to get a scholarship to a good college for playing soccer: I just played for fun. I gradually found my talent in playing soccer, and I even became a starter in the field a year later. The most important gift from playing soccer in my childhood was not those merits but a longstanding and cherished friendship that still is keeping till today. 

After I went to a middle school in a different district, I met people who I completely  had not acquainted before. I was quit anxious about in what way I could make friends. This question was perfectly solved by soccer. I joined the soccer team in 7th grade and in there I met a person later as one of best friends. I still can remember in a winter someday in middl school, we played soccer just two of us on a soccer field covered with snow. Why did we play soccer in this extreme weather? Because we loved it. We loved the feeling touching the ball and running on the field. Since there were just two people in that field,My friend and me, we only could practice shooting like free kick and penalty. It now might sound boring, which it was boring, but ,when we were touching the ball on this snowy field, only felt we was as sense of joy and satisfaction. I guess that is the sportsmanship. 

Mr. £58m Scored Twice to Lift Man United to the Second Place

        Mr. £58m Scored Twice to Lift Man United to the Second Place 
     Anthony Martial hit a dream start in premier league by scoring 3 goals in 2 games. In today`s game, Manchester United versus Southampton, Martial equalized with United's first shot on target and then took advantage of a terrible Maya Yoshida back pass to slot in a second.Then Juan Mata added the third goal for Manchester United and made sure that Manchester United would take 3 points with them back to Manchester. Clearly, the 19-year-old young French man, Martial responded to concerns and doubts from critics by leading Manchester United to the second place of premier league, only 2 pints away from the leading team, Manchester City. 

      Anthony Martial was born in December 5, 1995. Manchester United signed him from his former team, AS Monaco, for £36 million, potentially rising to £58 million, on a four-year contract with the option of another year. It is the highest payment for teenage in the history of football( according to English press). When the transfer firstly exposed to the public, most of soccer critic, including the manager of Manchester United, Louis van Gaal, called that transfer ridiculous. The manager of Manchester United claims that this transfter was made based on the future consideration since Martial shows his great potential to become a new " Henry". Though people doubt that he could everually become a same level ot even better level than Henry, his countryman, Martial has responded with amazing performance so far in premier League and in European Champion League.
     The young, prospective Frenchman, Anthony Martial, does resemble his forerunner, Henry, in several ways. First, they both gained a prominent strart of their resptive careers. Henry was shinning star in 1998 world cup, and then transfered to Junventus FC. Although He was able to compete a starting position in Juventus, he then transfered to Aresnsal at the age of 21, where He became the king of Harblem. Second, they all had a mature emotion and a sophisticated manner toward press and fans and his teamates, which was inportant to build up the chemistry of their teams. Third, They all had a strong confidence in the field without the supposed nervouness of a youngplayer.
     Since he has scored 3 gaols in 2 consecutive games in premier goal, he became the second player in Manchester United who accomplished this in the first two games. And remeber he could still Accomplish more if he can manage to maintain his outstanding performance.
    Besides Man United, The manager of French national team also would wine about this. After Benzama, He will be the second choice in ST/CF. Since the beginning of this term, Manchester United has suffered a lack of offend power due to sorry performance of Rooney, it is interesting to see whether Martial can stand up to increase Manchester United offend strength.
