Towns' contract renewal negotiations reached a deadlock, and he admitted that the prospect is not optimistic

New York Knicks star center Karl-Anthony Towns is in a deadlock with the team over his contract extension. He admitted that the prospect is "not very optimistic." According to reports, Towns was eligible to sign a four-year contract worth more than $276 million, but the Knicks offered four years and $200 million. Towns emphasized that he hopes to find a way to keep the team intact while affirming his own value, but currently several goals are not close to being achieved. Knicks owner Dolan once stated that the team would not enter the second-tier luxury tax line, which led to the failure to sign back backup center Robinson, who moved to the Celtics.

Taiwan media should directly refer to sports teams as "Taiwan Team"

The article pointed out that although international events are named "Chinese Taipei", Taiwanese media should directly use "Taiwan Team" when reporting domestically, because this is in line with people's daily lingo and respects the family and social support from Taiwan behind the players. It is not a challenge to international rules, but allows Taiwanese people to cheer for the players on their own land using familiar names.
