" BEIJING http://www.thewildauthority.com/authentic-devan-dubnyk-wild-jersey/ , Feb. 1 (Xinhua) -- Yi Jianlian finished with 26 points, leading Guangdong past Beijing 109-96 in the 34th round games of the 2017-18 Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) league on Thursday.
The loss ensures the Beijing Ducks are stuck with a three-game losing streak on the road.
Beijing, the former league winner was dying for a win, as it has lost two out of three games on the road trip and dropped to eighth on the standings after losing to Guangzhou on Tuesday. Randolph Morris' refusal to play after Aaron Jackson's injury layoff just added to their predicament.
Against Guangdong http://www.thewildauthority.com/authentic-daniel-winnik-wild-jersey/ , Beijing played aggressively in the first half as Zhai Xiaochuan put up 21 points including five three-pointers, yet the visitors never got to build a big lead and trailed by one point before the interval.
Fang Shuo hit a fade-away shot against Yi Jianlian in the third quarter, which turned out to be the visitors' last highlight. Guangdong had a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter and closed out the game comfortably.
Xinjiang's victory over Shanxi would be anything but a relief for Beijing. Beating Shanxi 120-108, the defending champion managed to escape from the bottom four of the playoff picture. Guangzhou http://www.thewildauthority.com/authentic-chris-stewart-wild-jersey/ , the 10th seed within the playoff hunt, lost to Fujian 125-132, which was good news for Shanghai, who trounced Tongxi 118-105 for a record of 18 wins against 16 losses.
Elsewhere http://www.thewildauthority.com/authentic-charlie-coyle-wild-jersey/ , Aolong edged Sichuan 116-113. Shavlik Randolph contributed a season-high 52 points, theoretically helping his team stay in the playoff hunt. Shandong cruised to a 127-103 win over Jiangsu to stand ahead of their opponents in the standings by having one game in hand.

SEOUL, Sept. 29 (Xinhua) -- South Korea planned to regain its wartime operational control from the United States within a five-year term of President Moon Jae-in, a lawmaker of the main opposition Liberty Korea Party said Friday based on documents submitted by the defense ministry.
It was at least three to four years faster than the planned transfer under the previous Park Geun-hye administration.
South Korea handed over its operational command to the U.S. forces after the three-year Korean War broke out in 1950. The country won back its peacetime operational control in 1994.
Under the three-stage roadmap, the Moon government will first build up its own defense capability by the end of next year under the current platform of South Korea-U.S. allied forces.
The second-stage was scheduled to kick off in 2019 to stage the joint South Korea-U.S. annual war games commanded by the South Korean military.
The third stage had yet to be decided upon, according the lawmaker who said the operational control transfer should be pushed for cautiously.
President Moon said in his speech Thursday to celebrate the 69th anniversary of Armed Forces Day that he aimed to regain the wartime operational control early from the United States.
To strengthen its standalone defense capability, Moon said the military should make all-out efforts to rapidly build a so-called ""three-axis"" defense platform http://www.thewildauthority.com/ , including the Kill Chain, the Korean Air and Missile Defense (KAMD) and the Korea Massive Punishment and Retaliation (KMPR), mostly for responding to possible attacks from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
