BEIJING Cheap Nike Vapormax Triple Black , July 12 (Xinhua) -- Xu Limin, coach of Chinese women's basketball team, said Japan would still be their strongest opponents, but at the same time China would enjoy some psychological advantage in FIBA Basketball Asian Cup.


At a training session open to the media, Xu said Japan, the defending champions, remain the strongest opponents of his team at the Asian Cup to be held later this month in India Cheap Nike Vapormax 97 , "I hope we will beat them at the Asian Cup. We have an psychological advantage over Japan because we are not under any pressure and all we want is to play our best and beat them."


China lost to Japan by a large margin of 35 points in the 2015 FIBA Asia Championship.


"We will use full-court press defense. I have adopted this strategy since I led Shougang Women's Basketball Team and it has proved effective," Xu said.


"All the players are very close in abilities, so we don't have a fixed starting lineup. We will change it according to different rivals."


Xu is also wary of the Oceania teams, who take part in the Asian Cup for the first time, saying Australia and New Zealand may increase the uncertainty of the tournament.


China will meet New Zealand in the first game. "Playing against new rivals, our priority is to reach the next phase," said Xu.


Australia and New Zealand now sit at the fourth and 38th place respectively on FIBA Rankings Cheap Nike Vapormax 2.0 , while China and Japan rank 10th and 13th.


The team's new captain Shao Ting, who came back from Minnesota Lynx in WNBA, said:"Our team have improved a lot in defense. I hope we can keep going and do our best in the coming Asian Cup."




KUALA LUMPUR, Dec. 10 (Xinhua) -- The Malaysian people have chosen "Lu," or "Road" in English, as the Chinese character of the year in 2017, taking cue from the country's active plan in infrastructure expansion.


According to the results released on Sunday by Malaysia's Han Culture Center and the Federation of Chinese Associations Malaysia (FCAM) Cheap Nike Vapormax Online , "Road" garnered 28,887 votes, accounting for 30.45 percent of the total, and "Tiredness," came in second.


Pheng Yin Huah, president of FCAM, said the character "Road" perfectly summed up how the Malaysian people felt about this year.


He referred to the launch of several lines of the Mass Rapid Transit system Cheap Nike Vapormax Kids , the beginning of the construction work for the East Coast Rail Link, a major project linking west part of the Malaysian Peninsula with east coast and the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail, which will call tender soon.


The selection of "Road" not only reflected people's better understanding of the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative, but also embodied people's expectation to lead a better life, said Pheng.


Other nominated characters include "Anxiety," "Taxation," "Waiting Cheap Nike Vapormax Mens ," "Election," "First," "Gold," "Chaos," and "Terror."


Malaysia is one of several Asian countries and regions to select a Chinese character each year. About 24 percent of the Malaysian people belong to the Chinese community. Though most of the votes are from them, the organizers say more and more Malay and Indian people began to participate.


Last year's annual Chinese character was "Greed".




Billboards featuring Melania Trump and the slogan "just imagine how far you can go with a little bit of English" were removed Tuesday from the Croatian capital after her lawyer threatened a lawsuit.


The billboards were part of a marketing campaign by a private English language school in Zagreb, which tried to persuade Croats to learn English by reminding them of the Slovenian-born U.S. first lady's personal experience.


But Mrs. Trump did not accept what was apparently meant to be a joke about her English Cheap Nike Vapormax Womens , spoken with a heavy accent. Her Slovenian lawyer demanded that the billboards, showing Melania Trump delivering a speech standing before a fluttering American flag, be immediately removed.


"I'm satisfied with the fact that the school admitted that they violated the law and that they are ready to remove the billboards and (Facebook) ads," lawyer Natasa Pirc-Musar told The Associated Press. "We are still analyzing possible further legal steps."


Melania Trump has hired the law firm to protect her image, which has appeared on various products in her native Slovenia, including cakes, underwear and tourism advertisements.


Pirc-Musar said that the Croatian school has apologized for the billboards Cheap Nike Vapormax Wholesale , but that the statement also needs to be published by the Croatian and Slovenian state news agencies.


"We are very sorry that the billboards were misunderstood as something intended to mock the U.S. first lady," Ivis Buric, a spokeswoman for the school, American Institute, said. "It was meant to be something positive, to show her as a role model."


Buric admitted that the short advertising campaign turned out to be "very successful" because of the wide publicity it received both locally and internationally. She said that the school intends to put up new billboards, this time without Melania Trump's image.


Melania Trump was born in neighboring Slovenia as Melanija Knavs. She left Slovenia in her 20s to pursue an international modeling career before meeting Donald Trump at a Fashion Week party in New York in 1998.
