Particularly zealous under the boards DeMarcus Cousins, took away from the basket balls bounced 13 times. He also became the highest scoring basketball meeting, scored 26 points. 23 points marked Rudy Gay.

If it goes on, “Cavaliers” and does fall out of the zone playoffs, although it wards Blatt acting on weak East have a very “try.” Besides LeBron should go back soon – the “king” can go out there on January 14,.

«Memphis” – “Phoenix” – 122: 110 2m

The most dramatic confrontation in the game of the day was the meeting of the association “Memphis” with “Phoenix” on the floor “Grizzliz».

«Memphis” controlled the game at the end of normal time, increasing for 42.7 seconds before the end to his advantage seems to be comfortable six points – 100: 94.

However, just six seconds later, Mark Morris said the most important three-pointer hit, and then Mike Conley made a mistake in the transmission, losing the ball for the fourth time in the match, and Eric Bledsoe lay-cut apom lag “solar” to one point.

After a timeout “Grizzly” Goran Dragic makes a foul on duty, but Vince Carter was able to score only one penalty of two, allowing guests to complete the final attack of normal time two-point, which performed PJ Tucker.

First Additional Orientation meeting was held on the swing, and the team went ahead by one. As a result, Courtney Lee, realized two free throws 16 seconds before the siren, turned the game into a second overtime with the score 108: 108. “Phoenix” had a chance to finish the job in the first, but Bledsoe did not hit the basket.

Lionel Messi: “At this time the rumors are not from Madrid and from Barcelona» – Eurosport.com RU

UPDATED: Just – Posted: 01/12/2015 at 09:35

After defeating” Atletico “with a score of 3: 1 Lionel Messi gave one of the most outspoken interview in your life.

         Argentine appeared in the studio Barça TV channel with top scorer award in Spain. This prize was awarded to the football player before the match. The previous record was held by Telmo Zarra (251 goal). In the match against “Atletico” Messi scored his 259 goal in the tournament. Also in this meeting striker cleared it earned a yellow card for the first time in history earned a penalty kick into the goal for his club.
       

         “We knew it would be tough. We find it difficult to play with “Atletico” since, as in the team led by Diego Simeone (“Leopard” failed to win any of the previous seven games). In “Atletico” assembled great players who create a lot of dangerous moments. But this time, we controlled the situation. It is clear that a penalty was appointed a mistake, but more “Atletico” nothing created.
       

         Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak. I would like to tell you what’s really going on. I hear what everyone is saying. I never deny speculation, but this time I want to do it. Rumor has it if I survived from the team Eto’o, Ibra, Bojan, Guardiola … I never asked the leadership of “Barcelona” to part with anyone. People do not look for problems between me and Luis Enrique, because there is nothing to find. We must be more united. Do not throw shit at us, because it only hurts.

It’s a shame when such rumors are from people who are worried about “Barcelona”. These people hurt the club. And this time it is not from Madrid, as it was before. Rumors go from here. I heard so much about myself. These people claim that I’m running the club, but I am only one of the players. I do not make any decisions, and even do not ask anyone to do anyway. I never demanded anything to stay in the “Barcelona”. I am here, because I have never wanted to leave the team. They say that my father had already talked with representatives of “Chelsea” and “City.” This is a lie. This is a lie.
       

         As for the “Golden Ball”, then perhaps I will be hard to win this prize. Ronaldo and Neuer had a great year. One won the Cup and the Champions League by scoring a lot of goals. Another just had an outstanding year winning, becoming the champion of the world, “- said Messi.

WORLD CUP

The Frenchman Martin Fourcade won a second victory on the fourth stage and fourth in Oberhof World Cup 2014/15 fulfilled mass start on a windy arena without a single miss.

In connection with difficult weather conditions, the organizers of the World Cup in Oberhof had redraw the route, reducing the range of up to 2.5 km, and before the first athletes were shooting it twice.

to monitor developments in this first extended segment Russian fans were pleased Anton SHipulin in the red shirt after winning the first mass start of the season in Pokljuka at the end of the first lap took the lead, pushing a formidable Martin Fourcade to the second position. The initiative supported by team-mate Eugene Garanichev that little by little was chosen for its 10th position – first to the fifth, then the third after Fourcade, then the second after Shipulina, and soon led the race at all.

However, as it has happened many times with Garanichevym, excessive zeal on the road auknulos him to the shooting range – Eugene missed the first two shots and the result after the first firing line down to the end of the third dozen.

has not done, alas, without errors and SHipulin: even a misfire cost him a lot. When the whole a good shooting most of the competitors he rewind penalty loop, returned to the track 11th with a delay of 23.5 seconds from the leader, who at that time was Ole Einar Bjoerndalen, caught in the mass start at the last minute due to successful performance Saturday’s sprint.

The leader of the Russian national team, however, was not taken aback. He quickly left behind and win back the second shooting range already come with Fourcade – in the forefront. And if the Frenchman was again accurate, thus led the race and leadership do not miss, then SHipulin again snapped. And again was the penalty loop, and again place outside the top ten, and again 20 seconds behind. In the next stint Russian forward has not particularly eager, but the first “rack”, unfortunately their fans, missed the fourth shot, and the remaining eight.

Junior Fourcade came away with a third fire turn the undisputed leader, and the second position suddenly burst remained until the shade Dmitry Malyshko – he on the second and third shooting shot flawlessly. All the penultimate lap biathlete from Leningrad region worked in the company of German Erik Lesser and Shipulina, meanwhile, failed excellent race – beating four rivals, including Jacob FAQ, to the final milestone he reached the fourth position.

In the final “rack” Fourcade began to shoot in splendid isolation, closed three targets and caught a gust of wind. Waited out his yellow jersey winner of the overall World Cup for a long time – for this time at the shooting had come not only with Malishko Lesser, but SHipulin. Calculation of the Frenchman, however, turned out to be true: the two remaining shots get accurate, and he rushed to victory. And the Russians at that time were forced to re-wrap the penalty loop: SHipulin by one, and as much as two Malishko.

However, on the final turn of the generally very few people managed to do without mistakes. Therefore, the second place of Anton, was rolled out on the track in 26.8 seconds on Fourcade, no doubt. But Malishko which went from 37 in the third leader, put pressure Bulgarian Krasimir Anev. In fact, it is the Russians on the road even bypassed. But Dmitry did not let the opponent in the gap and he was absolutely right: having fulfilled the final segment of the distance behind your opponent, he won his fight in finishing the alignment and earned his first personal podium this season.

Blue blue frost. 3 hero of the match between “Chelsea” and “Newcastle» – Eurosport.com RU

UPDATED: Just – Posted: 01/10/2015 at 23:56

In the match of the 21st round of the Premier League,” Chelsea “in his field dealt with the” Newcastle “- 2: 0.

Academy

         If you choose the only hero of the meeting, the Brazilian midfielder in this category has no competitors at all. In the end the first half, he scored the first goal and after the break gave an assist on Diego Costa. However, Oscar worked perfectly on a team without these productive actions. All the 78 minutes spent on the field, the Brazilian otpahal best. He drifted into subcategories, working out the standards in their own and other people’s doors and does not shied away from rough work. At the same time, emotions midfielder not overwhelmed as it is with them sometimes. It is no coincidence Jose Mourinho after replacing patted Oscar. Such an attitude on the part of the Portuguese still need to earn, and this task midfielder “blue” superbly managed.
       

Diego Costa

         Spanish striker of Brazilian origin and still had not played at “Stamford Bridge”, and without it the attack “Chelsea” is no longer possible to imagine. What else can I tell if Costa scored almost in every game? Diego has not changed this tradition and in Saturday’s meeting. Let the second productive attack “blue” dispersed Eden Hazard and Oscar, it was the Spaniard coolly put it in bold exclamation blow right by Tim Krul angle. Forward had every reason to take issue when 79 minutes left in the cold the entire defense, “Newcastle” and beat seemed certain. Only Fabrizio Kollochini in unimaginable twine passed the ball out of an empty net. And, of course, great Diego worked at the gate. Often it is he has consistently won the second floor when feeding from penalty corners.
       

         In the last match of the Premier League with “Tottenham” main guard gate “blue” Thibaut Courtois played, to put it mildly, unfortunate, conceding five goals. It is not surprising that Mourinho has decided to give a break to the young Belgian and thrown in already proven over the years the goalkeeper. Cech during the sitting on the bench has not lost any scent, no reaction. Yes, Peter chance to print the gate at the “forty” was quite a bit, but in two episodes – after the attacks Guffran and Ameobi – it really helped out. One more thing caught my eye – together with Cech entire defense “Chelsea” looked much more solid than his younger colleague, and the guardian of the gates literally radiated icy calm.

Lonely “Chelsea” on top – BBC

Victory over the “Newcastle” allowed “Chelsea” to become the sole leader of the English Premier League, two points ahead of Liverpool stumbled “Manchester City”. At the same time Madrid “Real” smashing “Espanyol”, partly rehabilitated for the defeat of “Valencia».

England Championship

«Chelsea» – “Newcastle” – 2: 0

The team of Jose Mourinho in the last round lost to “Tottenham” hockey with a score of 3: 5 and allowed the “citizens” to catch up with itself, but nine days later to correct this injustice. “Newcastle” in five previous meetings, scored four points, hand on heart, could hardly hope for success in London.

«Magpies” fought very hard, almost losing “blue” on statistical indicators, except for one thing – goals. Gorgeous offensive line, led by the owners Diego Costa and Oscar have its say at the junction of the inning, leaving no “Newcastle” chance even for a draw.

On 43 minutes, Branislav Ivanovic burst into the penalty area from the right side and shot to the far post, where Oscar in touch struck the bottom corner. And at the start of the second segment is still the same after casting Oscar Luis Filipe towards the heel to make a cool discount on crutches, and the striker did not disappoint.

The balance of the match “aristocrats” had a significant advantage, and Costa and Fabregas and do could bring the case to the defeat, but the visitors’ defense on the right and the account no longer changed.

With this victory, “Chelsea” with 49 points left alone at the top of the standings on two points ahead of the “Manchester City”.

«Everton” – “Manchester City” – 1: 1

themselves “citizens” rather unexpectedly lost points in the match with “Everton “who had by that time chetyrehmatchevuyu losing streak. Team Maneulya Pellegrini had an overwhelming advantage for most of the match, constantly served corner and threatened possessions Joel Blaskesa, but 18 shot towards his goal in the target occurred in only two. And even the fact that one of them was the assists, did not help the “City” three points.

Fernandinho put the guests ahead on 74 minutes when put his head under slack kick Sergio Aguero and successfully completed the fast attack of his team.

However, after four minutes, “toffee” restored parity: Leighton Baines free-kick gave a cool pass in the penalty, but it was first on the ball Steven Naismith corrected it into the goal, unwisely left Joe Hart.

«Manchester” immediately rushed to score more, but liverpultsy already firmly established in the protection, and Jesus Navas and Samir Nasri have not used their moments.

«Sunderland” – “Liverpool” – 0: 1

This is the fifth game in a row does not know matter lesions conducting this season, “Liverpool”. Despite the modest expense, Liverpool fully deserved their three points, four times surpassing rival over bumps in the direction of the gate (21: 5).

The guests took the lead already in the ninth minute when Gerrard and Borini broke up the attack, and burst into the penalty Lazar Markovic beat out-of-gate Pantilimon.

At the start of the second segment Liam Bridcutt received a second yellow card and left the “Sunderland” ten men, simplifying the task of “Liverpool”. By and large, the owners have not had a chance to win. Rather, it is “red” were close to the second ball, but be content with little.

Other matches

«Queens Park Rangers,” conceded “Burnley” with a score of 1: 2, set a historic achievement, becoming the first team in 50 years, losing ten starting away games in the Premier League. In the season 1964/65 the same anti-record set “Sunderland».

In other matches of the tour “Swansea City” and “West Ham” played a draw – 1: 1 ” Leicester City “home with a minimum score beat” Aston Villa “and” West Brom “with the same result bested” Hull City “.

La Liga

«Real Madrid” – “Espanol” – 3: 0

The defeat of “Valencia” encouragingly acted to the leader of the championship of Spain. In a match with the club from Barcelona historically hated Carlo Ancelotti’s side have proved far more intelligible football, the move has secured a comfortable reserve and even being in the minority, managed to bring the case to the defeat.

On the 12th minute Cristiano Ronaldo after an elegant diagonal Gareth Bale laid the ball at impact James Rodríguez, and Colombian midfielder did not hesitate to hit the gate. Soon he and Bale scored pocketed the ball, with a penalty kick from the bar the keeper with no chance for the goalkeeper.

At the beginning of the second half, it seemed that the intrigue is not too late to revive: Fabio Coentrao received a straight red card for a bad tackle by Cañas, but the “cream” and ten men did not stop to attack.

During the 14 minutes before the end of normal time Ignacio Nacho got the ball on the right edge of the goalie, and a short distance shot another’s possession. After that, the question about the winner no longer standing.

«Real” celebrates 13th success in the last 14 games and continues to lead the standings, with 42 points in the asset, four more than the “Barcelona” and “athletics” . “Espanyol” with 20 points placed in tenth position.

Russian biathlete Lapshin won “bronze” in the sprint race – Russian newspaper

Russian biathlete Timofey Lapshin finished third at the end of the sprint race at the fourth stage of the World Cup on the track Oberhof, Germany. Won by the current holder of the “Big Crystal Globe,” the Frenchman Martin Fourcade, “silver” – from the greatest shooting skiers of our time – the Norwegian Ole Einar Bjoerndalen.

Men’s sprint was supposed to start at noon local time, but was moved 14:30 (16:30 MSK) due to bad weather conditions. Start of the race prevented a very strong wind and warm weather. The snow is almost melted. But the organizers of the two and a half hours were able to “patch up” problem fate of the track, and the wind a little verse, but still is a serious hindrance to the shooting.

The first six athletes (including Russian Evgeny Garanichev) arrived on the firing line, where were shooting from a prone position, unanimously allowed two misses. In the seventh starting number – our Maxim Tsvetkov – and at four misfires. Only Einar interrupted this series of failures in the Biathlon Oberhof. Norway has worked at the turn cleanly and immediately became a candidate for the award.

In addition to Timofey Lapshin, the whole race the Russians did not work for objective reasons. Many were unable to cope with the wind at the shooting range. Even the best sportsman of Russia 2014 Sochi Olympic Champion 2014 in the relay, our brilliant finisher SHIPULIN Anton did not close on two targets as shooting from a prone position, and in the front.

As for Lapshin, which was released on start under 48-set tiebreak, he claimed victory, but summed error last shot at the front.
