The spring of the game is more outside the game.

Game "Shadow Torch City" scene

Game "Shadow Torch City" scene

This is a bright color in spring. Yesterday, a set of exciting figures came from the Shanghai online publishing management work conference-the online game industry in Shanghai achieved sales revenue of 128 billion yuan, accounting for one-third of the country; Online literature achieved a sales income of 11.94 billion yuan in the whole year, and continued to dominate the domestic market; The total output value of the e-sports industry is 26.9 billion yuan, of which the income from competitions exceeds 6 billion yuan, accounting for half of the domestic market.

Shanghai’s online publishing industry has maintained a steady development trend in its innovation. With the arrival of a series of important events and activities such as China International Digital Interactive Entertainment Exhibition ChinaJoy and Global E-sports Conference, 2023 will be another wonderful year for Shanghai’s online publishing industry.

Turn sideline business into main business

In recent years, the social value of games and e-sports has received more and more attention and recognition. In many aspects such as scientific and technological innovation, cultural heritage, education and medical care, game e-sports are being completely broken. Nowadays, online publishing enterprises in Shanghai further explore the positive value of game e-sports, launch new explorations in many directions, and strive to make the current sideline business into the future main business.

As the application test interface of digital twins, virtual reality and other technologies, "game+technology" has become the core tool and innovation base to promote the digital transformation of different industries, and it can provide new technological innovation impetus for industrial manufacturing, autonomous driving and smart cities in the future. For another example, in the field of "game+medical care", with the in-depth application of medical big data, various digital therapies continue to broaden the boundaries. Studies have shown that the global digital therapy market is expanding rapidly, and it is expected to grow from $4.22 billion in 2021 to $18.06 billion in 2028, making it a market with great development potential. In this regard, Shengqu Games began to lay out the fields of digital medicine and brain science research very early, and Polk City’s "Gamification Digital Therapy Strategy" has also achieved good results in recent years. In addition, such as "games+non-legacy" and "games+cultural relics" have also become industry consensus models, realizing the integration of artistic pursuit, cultural heritage and commercial interests.

The "Game+"model, relying on more and more high-quality products, will embark on a new path of outward exploration, cross-border empowerment and positive value amplification.

Let the pioneer become the top stream

From July 27th to July 31st this year, China International Digital Interactive Entertainment Exhibition ChinaJoy will be held in Shanghai, which is one of the largest events in the world in the field of online publishing and digital entertainment. This year’s ChinaJoy coincides with its 20th anniversary and is of great significance for activating the Shanghai cultural market.

In addition to ChinaJoy, the 3rd China Game Innovation Competition and the 7th Online Literature Essay Competition will be held this year to select and encourage masterpieces. At the same time, excellent works and projects of online games, online literature, e-sports and integrated publishing will be supported through Shanghai Wenchuang Fund. When these large-scale events and activities, which connect the historical context of Shanghai’s digital publishing field, become bigger and stronger, and become the national and even global top stream, Shanghai’s digital publishing strength and China’s excellent works will be seen by the world.

Don’t think that in Shanghai, only big factories have opportunities. As a small and micro enterprise with only 20 people, the game "Shadow Torch City" developed by Titanium Nuclear Network brings positive thinking. Zhang Mao, the founder of the company, revealed: "Shadow Torch City takes cartoon animals as the protagonist and tells a serious anti-war story. The artistic design of the game incorporates a lot of Shanghai elements to form an innovative visual style, which is an important part of this product to win the attention of players and media at home and abroad. " Although Shadow Torch City is only a small and medium-sized work, it not only scored 85 points on the largest game platform in North America, but also was selected as the "Golden Palace" game by the most influential game media in Japan and successfully went to sea.

What is worth looking forward to is that in the loose and healthy soil of online game industry in Shanghai, more "Shadow Torch City" is still on the road.

Davis’ contract renewal is risky, but it is a win-win situation for him and the Lakers!

In the offseason of 2023, the Lakers mainly focused on maintaining core continuity, which helped them achieve an impressive turnaround in the most recent season. Despite the topic of LeBron’s retirement, the Lakers still have a lot of plans for this offseason. This week, they reached the most important part, that is, the first day when they were eligible to renew their contracts in anthony davis. According to The Athletic’s sources, he reached a three-year contract with the Lakers with a maximum salary of $186 million.

Overall, the 30-year-old Davis will work with the Lakers for five years, with a contract value of about $270.5 million. After re-signing Austin Reeves, Ba Cun Bases and Russell earlier this summer, another offseason goal of Los Angeles is to leave a cornerstone for the Lakers’ future, that is, to renew Davis’ contract in advance.

This three-year contract renewal ensures that Davis will remain a member of the Lakers until 2028, anchoring him as a bridge to the next basketball era after the Lakers era in lebron james (whether because of retirement or joining another team).

Davis has two years left on his current contract, totaling $83.8 million, and he is eligible to renew it on Friday. Davis and the Lakers need to reach a contract agreement before October 23rd (the day before the start of the regular season). Rob Pelinka, vice president and general manager of Lakers basketball operations, and Ricky Paul, Davis’ agent and CEO of Klutch Sports, were inspired by the team news, and they hoped to complete the signing as soon as possible.

Davis’ new contract will take effect in the 2025-26 season, which is the largest contract renewal in NBA history. It is estimated that the average annual salary is about 62 million US dollars.

"As a member of the Lakers, I have a very high opinion of anthony davis." Pelinka said in Las Vegas on July 9. "He helped our team win the championship. He is an incredible captain and leader. Last year, we saw that he was willing to stick to the game in the case of injury and took our team to the Western Conference finals. Therefore, I am very happy that he is a member of our team. "

This renewal is a win-win situation for both parties. The Lakers have ensured the stability in the next five years, and no longer need to worry about the disaster scenario that after LeBron retired, Davis chose to quit his contract and become a free agent next summer. At the same time, Davis also gained a long-term sense of security. If he did not renew his contract and was injured again this season, this sense of security may no longer exist.

This is the second time that the four-time All-Star has chosen to maintain immediate certainty with the Lakers instead of taking risks to pursue a longer-term contract. As early as 2020, after the Lakers won the championship, Davis signed a five-year contract with a total amount of $190 million, instead of signing a short-term contract-then returning to the free market in 2021-and then signing a five-year contract.

At that time, it took Davis more than a week to sign with the Lakers. This time, the two sides reached an agreement within a few hours.

If anything, this renewal may be more beneficial to the Lakers, considering that they will save a lot of money in this contract compared with the situation of their expired contract. Because another situation might happen, Davis refused to renew his contract, but chose to exercise his right to jump out of the contract in advance and become a free agent in 2024.

Davis was entitled to sign a five-year contract worth more than $304 million (basically the same as Jaylen Brown’s contract)-plus the salary for the new season, it is equivalent to six years, and the total amount will be $344.5 million instead of five years, with a total amount of $270.5 million, a difference of more than $70 million. The Lakers will eventually pay Davis less than his maximum annual salary in the 2024-25 season and reduce the risk at the end of this contract. Remarks: Davis was only 35 years old when the current contract ended, but in another case, Davis was 36 years old! )

Last season, Davis re-established his position among the top ten players in the league, averaging 25.9 points, 12.5 rebounds (the highest in his career, the most for players with more than 50 games), 2.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.0 blocks per game, in 56 games. His hit rate (56.3) and true hit rate (62.7) are the highest in his career.

At the beginning of the season, there were signs that the Lakers were handing over the offense to Davis, even carrying the whole team to a great extent. However, a complicated foot injury in mid-December made him miss 20 consecutive games, and on the offensive end, he never returned to his original level (his average score was 28.1 points before the injury and 24.7 points after the injury). Nevertheless, after James tore his hamstring in February, Davis tried to make a comeback as soon as possible, and the team led the team to play a good performance after strengthening at the trade deadline.

In the playoffs, Davis dominated both offensive and defensive ends, averaging 22.6 points, 14.1 rebounds (the most in the playoffs), 2.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 3.1 blocked shots (the most in the playoffs) in 16 games. In the first two rounds, he was the best defender in the league, and it was not until the attack against nikola jokic in the Western Conference finals that he was slightly restrained (even so, Davis averaged 26.8 points, 14.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.8 blocks in four games against Denver). Equally important, Davis played 47 times in the team’s last 50 games, including 26 consecutive games (this is his longest consecutive appearance since the 2016-17 season).

Of course, this renewal is not without obvious shortcomings for the Lakers. Davis has a long history of injuries, which is worrying for a player who will turn 35 at the end of his contract. There is enough data to show that he will miss at least 15 to 20 games every season. In Los Angeles, he missed at least 26 games for three consecutive seasons, including two missed 36 or more games. Since the 2017-18 season, he has not played 65 or more games for four consecutive seasons.

It is possible for the Lakers to find a way to manage his load, so that he can play less time when he enters the age of 30, or rest during back-to-back games. But every time he is injured, and the situation happens more than anyone else, there is always a worry that he may be seriously injured.

Another less discussed problem is that Davis, as a big man who can project from outside, his projection efficiency drops sharply. One of the reasons why the Lakers are so strong in the 2019-20 season, especially in the playoffs in the NBA bubble, is Davis’ impressive jump shot. His most famous scene as a Lakers player is still his winning three points in the second game of the 2020 Western Conference Finals.

Since then, Davis’s shooting has regressed, especially the three-pointers (in every season in Los Angeles, his shooting frequency has decreased year by year, and his three-pointer percentage has been 26.0% or lower for three consecutive seasons). If Davis can’t restore his shooting touch, the Lakers will continue to be limited in building the lineup and the best lineup (if Davis can’t open the lineup as before, then the concept of building the lineup of two big men is absurd).

In addition, there is the problem of Davis’ offensive stability, which is partly due to his shooting problem. In the playoffs, Davis’s offensive performance every other game-he scored more than 20 points three times in a row-won the nickname "alternate day" from cynical fans, which was a joke on his AD abbreviation. In the playoffs in 2023, his score dropped by a third (from 25.9 to 22.6), and sometimes the Lakers felt that they needed more performance on the offensive end.

At this point, it is certain that Davis’ offensive limit is still as high as that of Jokic, Brother Alphabet and joel embiid (see the first game of the 2020 Western Conference Finals against Denver), but his offensive reliability is not as good as those players in every night’s game. Nevertheless, as long as James maintains the level before the foot injury and players like Reeves, Ba Cun Bases and Christie continue to grow, the Lakers should be able to offset Davis’ offensive instability next season.

Even with these concerns, the Lakers must make a decision to renew their contracts in advance. Not long ago, seven or eight years ago, they couldn’t sign a superstar. Before James signed the contract in 2018, the Lakers were in trouble when they were looking for a player to replace the old Kobe Bryant. Their young core is exciting, but these players have not yet become superstars with championship-level strength. James’ joining attracted Davis who wanted to leave New Orleans after seven seasons.

The Lakers have rebuilt their reputation and remain one of the best destinations in the league. But the free agent market no longer works as it used to. Superstars rarely change teams in this way, but often re-sign with their existing teams and then ask for a change of teams through transactions. At present, the Lakers don’t have enough assets to be used to acquire superstars through trading. Letting Davis leave the free market (creating a lot of salary space) or trying to trade with other stars (or finally getting a star through a series of transactions) is no longer a wise strategy like in previous seasons.

With Davis’ health, the upper limit of the Lakers is clear: they are one of the best teams in the league and have the ability to win or compete for the championship. Davis maintained a healthy season twice, the Lakers won a championship and entered the Western Conference finals. Even in 2021, the Lakers maintained a 2-1 series advantage against the Phoenix Suns (who entered the NBA Finals that season), and then Davis withdrew in the fourth game due to a hamstring injury.

At his peak, Davis was still one of the best 10 to 12 players in the league, and even one of the best two centers (he and Embiid). Those who accuse him of unstable attack often ignore his defensive dominance. In his first two seasons with the Lakers, the Lakers ranked the top three in defense. After the trade deadline last season, once he had the right defensive players around him, the Lakers became the best defensive team in the league. He is only 30 years old, and he still has a long peak. (Pelinka confirmed in July that the Lakers are confident that Davis can fully recover from the stress reaction of his right foot and the fracture of his spur. )

Unlike the previous offseason, the Lakers have begun to plan their future lineup. The contracts of Reeves, Bacunlei and Gabe Vincent will last at least until 2025, and now Davis’ contract will last until 2028. James will enter his 21st season, and he has player options in 2024-2025. In view of the uncertainty surrounding his future, the Lakers need to keep Davis. It is a wise decision to renew him.

In the future, Davis will be the mainstay of the Lakers’ marketing to potential superstar teammates. According to Spotrac, Brother Alphabet, Jayson Tatum and Donovan Mitchell may all become free agents in 2025, if they reject the player option.

By that time, Davis will be 32 years old, and may have entered the downhill stage of his career, but his versatile skill combination and potential outside stars are attractive qualities. He should continue to maintain his position as an outstanding defender and insider overlord in the game in the next few years; Davis has been quietly adjusting his game style in the past few seasons because his injury has weakened some of his athletic abilities. His willingness to back down and accept the choice of being the top number two star-just as he and James joined the Lakers at their peak-shows that another superstar can sign a contract in Los Angeles and take on more leading roles and spotlight.

Some people may be surprised by Davis’ contract, but if Davis retires tomorrow, his time in Los Angeles will undoubtedly be a successful chapter.

After arriving from New Orleans in a big deal in 2019, Davis and James helped the Lakers win the championship in 2020. Last season, he almost helped the Lakers win the second championship. Many people think that Davis is the best player of the Lakers in their Western Conference finals. If there were any doubts before-in fact, there shouldn’t be-Davis’s No.3 jersey will one day be hung on the top floor of Arena, Crypto.com, along with the jerseys of other great Lakers big players, such as George McCann, wilt chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, shaquille o’neal and pau gasol.

Until then, Davis and the Lakers will continue to maintain their fruitful partnership after the formal contract renewal, which will provide both sides with the stability they seek.

Finland kills Lithuania, attracting 13,000 spectators to revel: Marca 24+7 Warriors abandon the air pressure whistle too hard.

In the early morning of August 5th, Beijing time, the warm-up match between Finnish men’s basketball team and Lithuanian men’s basketball team ended, and Finland beat Lithuania 81-79. Before that, Lithuania’s men’s basketball team won five consecutive victories in the warm-up match and never lost. I didn’t expect to come to Tampere, Finland, but swallowed the defeat. 6.3 seconds before the end, the two teams were 79-79, and Markkanen had the chance to win the game, but it was a pity that airball but mikael-Jantunen got the buzzer.

Markkanen’s shot was really good. In fact, the defensive players didn’t interfere with him much, because his height and wingspan didn’t block Marca’s sight, but Marca was still airball.

Fortunately, Yang Turing in the basket succeeded in making up the basket directly. Yang Turing was only 2.03 meters tall, but he had a good blocking ability. He stuck his opponent behind him and finally completed the buzzer.

After the goal hit, the audience was boiling, and they were all celebrating the goal of Yang Turing. This game belongs to him, and the hero ball has such charm.

According to the official report of Finnish men’s basketball team, the warm-up match set a record of 13,054 fans in the Finnish men’s basketball team’s historical competition, which broke the record of 12,327 spectators in the hartwell Arena in Helsinki in 2017. Finland can beat Lithuania and attract 13,000 fans.

Although Markkanen didn’t hit the winner, he scored 24 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals in the whole game, and he was the one with the highest data. He deserved the title of "King of the Northern Territory".

Jan Turing, the winner of Lithuania, played for the Warriors in the Summer League this summer. He played in Serie A last season, averaging 23.6 minutes, scoring 8.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.3 blocks, shooting 50% from the field, 38% from three-pointers and 89.8% from free throws. He is a good 3D striker, but the Warriors did not choose to keep him.

On July 27th, the French League team Paris Basketball Team officially announced the signing of Jan Turing. He played four games for the Warriors in the Summer League, averaging 17.6 minutes, scoring 7.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 0.5 steals, shooting 47.4% from the field, 36.4% from the three-pointer and 81.8% from the free throw, which is considered as the Warriors’ abandonment.

The new captain of the Guangdong men’s basketball team, the fans are talking about it, and Zhu Fangyu has made a decision!

The new captain of the Guangdong men’s basketball team, the fans are talking about it, and Zhu Fangyu has made a decision!

According to well-known media sources, the new captain position of Guangdong Men’s Basketball Team has been basically confirmed, and Jeff, who is regarded as the most diligent player of Guangdong Men’s Basketball Team, will take the post. This news quickly caused a wide discussion among fans. Many fans expressed their support for Zhu Fangyu’s decision and thought that Jeff deserved to be the leader of the team with his hard work and outstanding performance. Jeff, the name in the history of Guangdong men’s basketball team, is gradually rising to a dazzling focus. He is not gifted, but he shines on the court with extraordinary efforts. In the past few seasons, Jeff devoted himself almost unreservedly to every corner of the team and every training. Whether it is hot summer or cold winter, he is always the first to rush to the training ground and the last to leave.

This perseverance and persistence have won loud applause between teammates and fans. However, Jeff is not only outstanding in giving. His game performance is also eye-catching. In the past competitions, he has repeatedly demonstrated his strength with super high hit rate and all-round skills. At the crucial moment, he stood up frequently and wrote the glory of Guangdong men’s basketball team with his own strength. I remember last year’s finals, when the score was deadlocked and the atmosphere was tense, he played well in two consecutive games and won valuable victories for the team. The fans’ support for Jeff is so firm and enthusiastic. There have been many pieces of solidarity on social media, and his name has almost become the common password of fans.

Some fans made creative posters for him, and some fans cheered for him in their own way. This collective emotional cohesion, but also for Jeff on the court filled with motivation. And Zhu Fangyu, as the leader and legend of Guangdong Men’s Basketball Team, his every decision has attracted much attention. The choice of Jeff as the new captain this time must be well thought out. Perhaps it is because of Jeff’s dedication and performance that he saw a qualified leader. Leadership is not only the performance on the field, but also the role of example off the field. At this point, Jeff is beyond doubt. His hard work and fighting spirit will certainly affect the whole team and become a model for the players. Looking into the future, Jeff will take on new responsibilities and face new challenges.

As a captain, he needs to take on more responsibilities of communication and coordination, boost morale when the team encounters a trough, and keep calm before victory. However, I believe he will not disappoint the fans, nor will he betray Zhu Fangyu’s trust. In the future, Jeff will lead the Guangdong Men’s Basketball Team and continue to write their glorious chapter.

AC Milan Reserves completed the relegation task ahead of schedule, and the management was satisfied with abate’s coaching performance.

Bozzolan, Kubis, El Eto and goalkeeper Nava were all called up by the first team during the season, while two new arrivals, Cuenca and Stalemacher, who just turned 17 last summer, made gratifying progress. Abate will continue to be in charge of this team’s coach next season, and many young players in the squad have grown up from lower-level teams with him. I believe that with his knowledge of the players, these teenagers will have the opportunity to become first-team players in the future, and follow the example of Calabria, Pobega and Gabilla to contribute their own strength at the San Siro Stadium.

[Home of Prediction] Sunday Football 020 Recommended: Seville VS real betis!

Seville drew with Juventus 1-1 in the second leg of the last Europa League semi-final, and won in extra time, and eliminated Juventus. Seville has won 6 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss in the last 10 games, and its recent situation has been stable. However, Seville’s overall performance in La Liga this season is average. At present, after 34 rounds of La Liga, Seville only scored 47 league points, ranking 10th at present, and it is unlikely to be promoted in the league.

Betis currently ranked sixth in La Liga standings, and it is very promising for Betis to compete for the qualification of Europa League this season. Betis defeated Vallecano 3-1 in the last round of La Liga, and recently ushered in a two-game winning streak. Betis has a high fighting spirit recently.

According to the data of this field, although the organization gave Seville a concession of 0.25, Seville’s water index collocation was high, and Seville’s water index continued to increase. Seville’s advantage was limited, so Betis was at least unbeaten in this battle.

Attendance rate into 47%! Clippers 350 million combination or reimbursement, 780 thousand basic salary and have to lead alone

The playoffs are a stage for superstars, which is applicable at any time, which is why the Warriors are still optimistic about winning the championship. The Clippers are also optimistic, and their core Leonard can play the playoffs healthily this time. The fans were very excited, but I didn’t expect that the Clippers would have to let Wei Shao, with a basic salary of 780,000, lead the team alone after just two games.

According to the Clippers’ official announcement, Leonard, who missed G3, will not play in the next G4 game because his knee injury has not improved. Not only that, George, who was injured in the final stage of the regular season, still can’t play. In other words, neither of the Clippers’ two cores can play in the game. According to ESPN, Leonard has a high probability of not playing in the remaining games.

In the last game, Leonard and George didn’t play, and they were able to stalemate with the Sun until the last minute, relying on the outbreak of Wei Shao and Powell. Wei Shao scored 30 points, 8 rebounds and 12 assists in 11 of 23, and Powell scored 42 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. They directly opposed the performance of Durant and Booker. In the end, 5 points were lost to the opponent. It can be said that this is all the Clippers can do.

Now the Clippers need Leonard most when the score is 1-2 behind. As a result, he is absent from the game, which makes the fans feel speechless. This season, Leonard is the player with the most load management, and even played only the first half. Unexpectedly, he was injured after just playing two games in the playoffs. According to statistics, in the past six years, Leonard’s attendance rate was only 47%. And his contract with George totaled $352 million.

After the news of absence came out, it meant that Wei Shao, who had a basic salary of 780,000 yuan, had to rely on him to be the Big Four of the Sun. But this may be his chance. As long as he can play alone and lead the team to equalize the big score, it will definitely be of great help to his next contract.
