I hope that this is a good start for the new exchanges between the sports circles of the two countries in the new year, which will also bring about a new positive interaction between China and the United States!

Chinese table tennis star Fan Zhendong also watched the Super Bowl and left a message in the comment section after the Kansas Emirates defeated the San Francisco 49ers and completed the defense of the title.
Fan Zhendong left a message in the Super Bowl-related comment area
Fan Zhendong said: "Amazing!."The five-hour turnaround gave the chance, from the second quarter to overtime, and the last-second touchdown was so exciting! Congratulations Chief! Congratulations to Mildew! ”
Of course, it can be seen that Fan Zhendong is a deep American football fan-
It was quite satisfying to see the ball game in between transfers. At the same time, he did not forget to congratulate the mildew. Just as some netizens asked in his comment on the post, "How many levels of mildew is the buddy". It seems that Fan Zhendong may indeed be a "moldy fan".
Like Fan Zhendong, Uncle Hai also saw the Super Bowl scene, where the "Dragon" standard limited edition rugby appeared to welcome the Spring Festival of the Year of the Dragon.
The congratulations issued by Fan Zhendong and the "Dragon" standard rugby can be read with many meanings ......
"Dragon" marked rugby
It's the Chinese New Year holiday. Some friends who just watched the CCTV Spring Festival Gala watched a wonderful American football game - the 58th Super Bowl on the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year in Beijing time. In China, the Super Bowl has ".American Spring Festival Gala".called. Uncle Hai personally believes that judging from the festive atmosphere and their respective domestic ratings, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala and the Super Bowl do have equal status. But what really feels like it can be compared with the CCTV Spring Festival Gala seems to be the "Red and White Song Party" held in Japan on New Year's Day of the Gregorian calendar. After all, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala and the "Red and White Song Party" are both TV variety shows. Of course, there are still differences between the two. The Red and White Song Club is mainly a song. In addition to songs, CCTV Spring Festival Gala also has sketches, cross talk, opera joint singing, acrobatics, magic and so on. The program is more abundant.
The scene of the 58th Super Bowl Picture: NFL WeChat***And the Spring Festival Gala and the Super Bowl, how can this compare? After all, top-level American football is the top event in professional sports. The outcome of such a game is more fortuitous. American football's all-out scrambles, sprints, and shots with foot protectors are very different from many sports. Not only is it different from the table tennis that Fan Zhendong handles across the net, but it is also different from football, basketball, and handball. In the eyes of some Americans, the soccer game that Europeans love is played by girls in the United States. And "American football", or what we call American football, is a men's sport. Judging by this year's Super Bowl, the scramble and suspense of American football are on full display - the Kansas Emirates sealed the win in the last second of the game. This game is really exciting. It is also fortunate that domestic fans have seen the game through the relevant TV broadcasts. A friend in Uncle Hai's circle of friends who is a professional club professional said that he began to watch the "American-style Spring Festival Gala" in the 90s of the last century, and it was broadcast by "Cable Sports Station" at that time. Now watching the broadcast of "Five-Star Sports", I feel a lot of emotion. At that time, young people who were new to the world experienced the charm of American professional sports through the media of television. Whether it's a coincidence or a long-cherished wish, in short, he is now engaged in professional sports-related work. I always feel that China's professional sports, whether it is football with an average national team competition level or a super-first-class table tennis, still have a lot of room for improvement in the organization of events. Looking at the Super Bowl from this perspective, you can probably learn something. Why can a sports competition become the "American Spring Festival Gala"? Take a look at the halftime show of the Super Bowl, and you can probably get a taste of it.
On March 9, 2002, the opening ceremony of the 2002 National Football League A was held at Shanghai Hongkou Stadium. Jay Chou replaced Aaron Kwok and sang the famous song "Nunchuck" Picture: InformationAt that time, the opening ceremony of our men's football league A League could also invite Jay Chou to sing. Today's Chinese Super League has experienced the golden era and the trough period of operation, how to create a real professional league with Chinese elements and even Chinese characteristics? How can other projects, including table tennis, be better packaged and enhance their commercial value? This is indeed worth thinking about.
It is true that Mildew, that is, the American popular superstar TaylorSwift's blessing has made this year's Super Bowl extra bright. Mildew's new boyfriend, Travis Kells, is none other than the Kansas Chiefs' close end. This allows the audience to not only see wonderful ball games and wonderful performances, but also see fragrant kisses in some cases.
At the Super Bowl, Mildew and her boyfriend kissed to celebrate the victoryWhether she puts on or takes off the jacket that supports her boyfriend's team, or her every move in the audience, she becomes the target of the camera. There's Donald Trump, the former American who learns from mildew, who says that mildew makes NFL great again. It's a gimmick. Just as after the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, the same clothes worn by some celebrities suddenly sold out on the Internet, after the appearance of Mildew in the Super Bowl, the similar style of her clothes also became a hot seller. Mildew has become the king of many cultural and sports activities in the United States. However, compared to table tennis, American football is not as well developed around the world. It seems that out of the United States, this particularly exciting game lacks soil. Because of this, even if Travis Kelsey is a top player, he lacks the opportunity to show his face and show off his skills in international competitions.
In the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, the United States men's basketball team made its debutThis was the case in the NBA before the 90s. At that time, it seemed that the whole world played one kind of basketball, but the NBA played another kind of basketball. It was not until the 1992 Barcelona Olympics that the IOC reached a tacit agreement with FIBA and the NBA, and NBA players began to participate in the Olympic Games. Uncle Hai wants to say that "Dream 1" deserves to be a real dream team. Since then, the level of the world's high-level basketball teams has gradually improved, and they have become more and more capable of challenging the basketball "dream team". Until now, the U.S. men's basketball team is sometimes embarrassed to call itself a dream team. But in any case, basketball is more popular, and the level of basketball is gradually improving around the world. I believe that if American football is attractive enough, there should also be more global tours and exhibition games to popularize the sport. That's not a bad thing for the sport itself, or for Major League NFL.
When it comes to Fan Zhendong, congratulations to the mildew and the chief, it can't help but make people think of ——This is a congratulatory message from the Chinese table tennis player to the American sports community. The connection between table tennis between China and the United States is, of course, not just about sports. Ping-pong diplomacy in the early 70s of the last century was a good story in the history of Sino-US exchanges. After the 1971 World Table Tennis Championships in Nagoya, the U.S. table tennis delegation and some journalists arrived in Beijing, becoming the first Americans to be allowed to enter China since 1949. The "small ball" pushes the "big ball".
On December 31, 2023, the Chinese Embassy in the United States held a commemorative event to commemorate the 52nd anniversary of China-US "Ping Pong Diplomacy", and also specially prepared a themed commemorative cake Photo: Chinese Embassy in the United StatesToday's U.S.-China relationship is not the same as it was back then. At that time, China and the United States had almost no contact before ping-pong diplomacy. After all, the two countries now have diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level, and there are various cooperation in some fields. At the same time, however, there are some difficulties in exchanges between China and the United States. The main cause of these difficulties comes from the United States. Some people do not see China as good and are afraid that China will surpass the United States in many aspects. They are also worried about their own hegemony. But for China, it is nothing more than hoping that its people will live a better life. At the same time, it can contribute more to the world. It is hoped that in the New Year of the Dragon, a connection between Fan Zhendong, a famous player in China's national table tennis, and American football, which can be called the national sport of the United States, can be a good start for new exchanges between the sports circles of the two countries. This has also brought about a new benign interaction between China and the United States!
