2005 Domestic Car Consumer Satisfaction Survey Report


  "Car Shopping Guide" magazine is managed by the China Machinery Industry Federation. It serves prospective car owners, car owners, fans and industry insiders, disseminates car culture, cultivates the car market, and guides car consumption as its own responsibility. The text is 96 pages in full color, using international standards, large 16 folio, published one day a month, each priced at 6.6 yuan.
The magazine’s "Cover Story", "Test Report", "Car Purchase Documentary", "Personality Recommendation", "Car Purchase Instructions", "Car Price List", "Special Topics" and "Reader’s Mailbox" and other columns provide you with real-time information on the automotive market, explore the comprehensive performance of new cars on the market, analyze the competitive advantages of models of the same price and grade, analyze the selling points of automobiles, guide rational consumption, and adhere to the "shopping guide" as the direction to serve the majority of consumers. It is a car buying guide for prospective car owners, a car fan’s car review, and a complete list of business conditions for people in the automotive industry.

  Compared with 2004, the car market in the first half of 2005 seemed much flatter, with many new and to-be-listed models, but there was no large-scale price reduction of the models that consumers had hoped for. On the contrary, some car manufacturers raised prices by launching "2005 models", which increased the number of consumers waiting for prices to decline, and the year-on-year sales of cars fell a lot. Although the car market is not sluggish, the sales of various models vary greatly. For example, Elantra and Xiali have broken through the 10,000 mark for several consecutive months and won the first place in the same class respectively, while some models have been on the verge of discontinuing production for several months.

  For consumers, the number of models to choose from has increased. When buying a car, consumers have to ask relatives and friends one by one about the use of each model, as well as their satisfaction with the model. Buying a car has become cumbersome, and our "2005 Domestic Car Consumer Satisfaction Survey Report" will be recommended to you as a good car purchase reference. After the successful holding of the "2004 Domestic Car Consumer Satisfaction Survey", consumers have evaluated it as one of the best topics of the "Car Shopping Guide" year. In order to make the satisfaction survey more complete, we started the 2005 satisfaction survey in early February 2005. After more than three months of questionnaire collection, collation, and supplementary surveys, it was then handed over to a professional survey company to analyze the questionnaire and statistical results. Now, it has made a grand debut with the efforts of all parties.
  Consumer Satisfaction Index (CSI)
  Customer satisfaction is a level of consumer perception, and a deeper meaning refers to the degree to which the performance of the product (service) provided by the enterprise matches the current expectations of consumers.

  The Customer Satisfaction Index is a measure of consumer satisfaction, expressed as a percentage. For this survey, the Consumer Satisfaction Index is used to indicate the overall satisfaction of a car brand in terms of quality, performance, appearance, interior, after-sales services, and car maintenance costs.
  Improvements to the 2005 Consumer Satisfaction Survey
  1. In 2004, our questionnaires came from a variety of methods such as clipped questionnaires, face-to-face interviews, and online surveys. In 2005, more than 95% of our questionnaires came from clipped questionnaires, which was more direct and effective, increasing the efficiency of our questionnaires from 64% in 2004 to more than 92%.

  The number of models involved in the survey increased from 65 in 2004 to more than 100 in 2005, of which the number of models participating in the analysis increased from 34 to 45, an increase of 32%. With the continuous influx of new models and the expansion of the scope of the survey, the number of models that consumers can refer to has also increased significantly.

  3. The items of the questionnaire include 5 major items such as external quality, internal quality, performance, after-sales services and maintenance costs. The small items they contain add two items of audio and mechanical component reliability, bringing the sub-items to 18. Correspondingly, we have also fine-tuned the weight of each sub-item.

  4. Due to price cuts and market changes, the 2005 survey reclassified the price range.

  5. More manufacturers are participating and paying attention. Due to the greater influence of consumer satisfaction surveys, some manufacturers have taken the initiative to contact us and attach great importance to the survey results.
  The results of this investigation
  
New models such as Elantra, Fit, Audi A4, Corolla, and Peugeot 307 score relatively high, with their novel appearance, leading technology, and good performance. After-sales services can also keep up. Consumers have shown strong interest and high satisfaction with these new models, and their sales are also very optimistic.

  Overall, the score of German models has generally increased, which is related to the good manufacturing technology and after-sales services of German models; Shanghai GM’s models have shown a downward trend. In 2005, Shanghai GM improved its product range and launched Rongyu, Cadillac and New Sail models to attract consumers and increase satisfaction; the ranking of Korean models has risen rapidly; the ranking of Japanese models has risen and fallen, but the fuel-efficient characteristics of Japanese models make consumers generally satisfied.

  Due to the increase in the number of models, the gap between the top and bottom-ranked models has widened. Manufacturers need to strengthen the improvement of the bottom-ranked models, otherwise these models will fall behind or even be replaced in the increasingly fierce product competition in the future.

  Among the top 10 models, Japanese models account for 4, German models account for 5, and Korean models account for 1. Japanese models have not changed from 2004, while the number of German and Korean models has increased. Regrettably, there are still no national brands in the top 10. Our national brands should be comprehensively improved in terms of product quality, performance, and after-sales services in order to truly become a strong brand.

  This survey covers a wide range, involving 30 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions across the country. In the same way as the previous survey, we will divide the content of the survey into 5 major aspects such as external quality, internal quality, performance, after-sales services and maintenance costs. These 5 major aspects include 18 sub-categories. In the chart below, we will list the scores of each model in 18 sub-categories (converted to √ and ×). At the same time, since there are many models involved in this survey, we focus on the top two or three models in each class.

  180,000~ 300,000 Satisfaction Evaluation of High-end Car
  The winning model won the crown – Mazda 6 ranked first overall
  For the winning models in this consumer satisfaction survey, consumers, manufacturers, and all members of the editorial department are eagerly awaiting, who is the most satisfied model in the minds of consumers in 2005? After rigorous data analytics and sorting, the final Mazda6 won the crown with a high score of 80.73%, once again becoming the most satisfied model in the minds of consumers. This is also the second consecutive year that Mazda6 has won the crown, reflecting the high recognition of this model by consumers.

  A year has passed since the Mazda6 won the crown in the satisfaction survey in 2004. The Mazda6 has withstood the test of consumers, ranking first in terms of overall shape, luggage compartment space, power, handling, braking, safety and reliability, and also ranked very high (in the top 5) in terms of air conditioning performance, acoustics, sealing, interior quality, and mechanical component reliability, which makes the Mazda6 indisputably achieve the first overall score again. As a personalized model among mid-to-high-end sedans, the Mazda6 not only provides sufficient safety, but also greatly meets the requirements of consumers who pursue speed and handling. The success of the Mazda6 also lies in its outstanding performance not only in individual items, but also in its comprehensive performance including after-sales services, mechanical parts performance, etc. Consumers are satisfied. As a model produced simultaneously in the world, the Mazda6 has a high technical content, and the comprehensive factors make the Mazda6 "the most satisfactory model in the minds of consumers in 2005".

  In addition, in the further requirements put forward by consumers, consumers want to be able to increase DVD, reversing radar and car phones and other devices; lower the price of parts; strengthen the chassis sound insulation; increase the trend of independent air conditioning in the rear seats; increase the seat electric heating device for models sold to the north.

  Accord ranked second overall

  Although the mid- to high-end car market has shrunk significantly, the Accord has become an extreme, which is inseparable from the Accord’s high satisfaction. In the 2005 satisfaction survey, the Accord’s score rose to more than 80%, becoming one of the two major models with a score of more than 80% in this satisfaction survey.

  Accord scored highly in sub-items such as overall styling, interior space, interior quality and safety and reliability, while it ranked in the top two in sub-items such as air-conditioning performance, comfort, handling, reliability of mechanical components and after-sales services. These results make Accord achieve a good second overall score. Consumers said that Accord has fine workmanship, good quality of interior and paint finish; low fuel consumption in similar models; stable quality of mechanical components; handling, power and air-conditioning performance are all talked about by car owners; at the same time, Guangzhou Honda’s after-sales services have a good attitude and high overall level.

  Owners also put forward suggestions for improvement in the details of the Accord, such as the rearview mirror is prone to water accumulation; the luggage compartment space is not very reasonable; the sound effect is average; the high-speed wind noise is relatively large, and the sound insulation device should be added; the configuration (such as GPS satellite positioning system and reversing radar) should be added.


  Passat ranked third overall

  As a "veteran" model in mid-to-high-end cars, Passat has a lot of sales, and it has shown a significant growth trend in the past (it did not decline until 2004). Passat has a good reputation and brand influence in mid-to-high-end cars. Since March 2005, the cost-effective 2005 Passat has been listed, and the market price is similar to the old Passat, which is nearly 20,000 yuan cheaper than the manufacturer’s guide price. While Passat has changed models, it has also maintained a relatively stable price (so far in the past 10 months, the market price has been relatively stable), which is conducive to improving consumer confidence in this model. The survey of Passat scored a high score, and the overall ranking has also risen from the original 8th place to the current 3rd place.

  The Passat ranks highly in sub-categories such as overall styling, sealing, interior space, paint quality, comfort, luggage compartment space, noise and after-sales services. Consumers rate the Passat as a model with beautiful styling, mature technology, outstanding braking and handling performance. The Passat has a large interior space and has the highest safety performance in the same class. At the same time, the after-sales services network is developed and maintenance is convenient.

  Consumers have also proposed some improvements to the Passat, including: low configuration, sunroof, DVD, EBD and TCS, reversing radar should be standard; at the same time add electronic navigation system, electric adjustable seats and electric heating system; improve fuel economy; reduce the price of spare parts and maintenance costs. In addition, the seat is not comfortable enough for long-distance travel, and the sound level is low. These aspects should also be improved.

AttentionAfter obtaining the scores of each model on each sub-item, we performed scientific and statistical calculations to convert these scores into √ and ×, which evaluate consumer satisfaction with each sub-item in terms of the degree to which each model deviates from the average. 3 √ A models do not mean how much better performance or more space or less maintenance costs than 2 √ B models, but represent that the owner’s satisfaction with A is one √ higher than that of B. Don’t look at these models from the perspective of the same person. Different car owners have different expectations and requirements, so their satisfaction will be very different.
  Satisfaction Evaluation of 80,000~ 180,000 Middle Class Car
  Golf ranked fourth overall

  Compared with the satisfaction survey in 2004, the overall ranking of the Golf has risen a lot, and in the middle-class car class (80,000~ 180,000 yuan), the Golf won the first place. As a classic model of Volkswagen, the Golf has created a sales myth in the history of automobiles and is loved by the world. However, after the Golf was made in China, the sales volume at the beginning of its listing (listed in July 2003) was not ideal, which was mainly related to the price, shape and increasingly competitive market. After a series of adjustments by FAW-Volkswagen to the Golf, the sales of the Golf began to rise gradually. At the same time, the practical performance of the Golf was also recognized by consumers, and the used owners said that these were the basis for the improvement of the satisfaction of the Golf. It is believed that higher satisfaction will further promote the increase in golf sales, and golf can continue to write its sales myth in China.

  The Golf scores highly in sub-categories such as paint quality, power, braking, noise and reliability of mechanical components. At the same time, the Golf does not have the weakness of low scores. Volkswagen’s rigorous manufacturing process satisfies consumers. Consumers rate the Golf’s air conditioning effect as good; the interior is of good quality and meticulous workmanship; good handling performance makes consumers feel comfortable driving; at the same time, the Golf’s safety performance is also first-class.

  Owners’ suggestions for improvements to the Golf include: ESP devices should be added; the sound effect is average; maintenance costs and the price of some spare parts are high; and the sound insulation of the engine compartment is not good.

  Elantra ranked fifth overall

  Following Elantra’s excellent sales performance in 2004, Elantra made persistent efforts in 2005 to occupy the top of the mid-range car sales list for several consecutive months, with sales reaching a record-breaking 20,000 or more in individual months, which is inseparable from Elantra’s high satisfaction. In the 2005 satisfaction survey, Elantra ranked among the top mid-range cars and ranked 5th overall, achieving impressive results.

  Elantra scored highly in terms of comfort, handling, noise, and after-sales services, and also ranked in the top 10 in terms of interior space, interior quality, sound, and braking, which made Elantra’s overall score high, and Elantra’s comprehensive performance was highly recognized by consumers. Consumers rated Elantra as a "best cost-effective" mid-range car with excellent power, handling, braking, comfort, and safety performance, and after-sales services.

  At the same time, consumers have also put forward improvement requirements for Elantra, including slightly higher internal noise in the car; greater roll in turns; outdated interior style; soft vibration damping system; high cost of accessories and maintenance; uneven cooling in the car; and a slightly lower chassis.

  Bora ranked sixth overall

  After achieving a high score in the satisfaction survey in 2004, Bora achieved a high score in this survey and achieved a good result of sixth place in the total score, which is one of the two major models of FAW-Volkswagen in the top 10. FAW-Volkswagen’s excellent quality and perfect after-sales services have laid the foundation for its high satisfaction score, and its good performance has made it a unanimous praise from consumers.

  Bora scores highly in many sub-categories such as sealing, paint quality, power, handling, braking, safety and reliability, and noise. Owners rate Bora’s power performance as good; the driver’s control is flexible; the interior workmanship is fine; the braking effect is good; the mechanical components are reliable and not prone to failure; at the same time, Bora’s good safety performance also makes car owners feel very at ease when driving. In addition, Bora’s paint quality is good, and it still feels like a new car after long-term use; FAW-Volkswagen has many 4S shops, which are very convenient for maintenance.

  Consumers have also put forward higher requirements for Bora: less space in the rear row; higher prices for spare parts; insufficient brightness of the headlights, poor visibility when driving at night; and the quality of the wipers needs to be improved.

  Fit ranked seventh overall

  Since the Fit went on sale in October 2003, consumers have been booking enthusiastically. In 2004, the sales of the Fit were still hot, and it has been ranked at the top of the sales list of mid-range cars. The hatchback Fit has set off a climax for people to buy this car. There are many models of the Fit, 1.3
A variety of models, including the L and 1.5L, manual and automatic, hatchback and sedan, can meet the needs of different consumers. In this survey, the Fit scored highly in the sub-categories of interior space, interior quality, luggage compartment space, handling and noise. In addition, the Fit scored highly in fuel economy, ranking second among all models. Consumers are very satisfied with the interior space of the Fit as well as the luggage compartment space, and marvel at the low fuel consumption of the Fit.

  Consumer suggestions for improvement include: the power performance needs to be further improved; the comfort of the seat is not good; the sealing should be improved; the brakes are soft; the high-speed stability is poor; the A-pillar is wider, which affects the line of sight; the price of accessories and labor costs are higher; the waiting time for maintenance is long.

  Wizz ranked ninth overall

  Weizi prototype car Yaris in Europe sales are very good, listed in Europe for half a year on the sales break 100,000, but Weizi in the domestic sales have not gone up, although Tianjin FAW Toyota has carried out many price cuts, but its sales are still unsatisfactory.

  The reason for the poor sales of Vizi is that consumers do not correctly recognize this model, and the appearance of Vizi and people’s consumer tastes are also inconsistent. At present, the lowest price of Vizi is only 70,000, which is more cost-effective in the same grade of models, and the technology of the 8A engine is also very mature. Importantly, consumers who use this car are generally satisfied with Vizi, and compared with the 2004 consumer satisfaction survey, Vizi’s overall ranking has risen to a certain extent, and it has entered the ranks of the top 10. Vizi also achieved first place in the reliability of mechanical components. In addition, it ranks high in many sub-categories such as fuel economy, maintenance cost, safety and reliability, braking, power and handling. At the same time, Vizi has no obvious weaknesses.

  The improvement areas proposed by consumers for Vizi include: the sunroof is best changed to electric adjustment; the seat comfort is not enough; it is best to install front fog lamps; there is room for improvement in the body assembly process; the overall sound insulation effect is not good; the service attitude and technical level of the 4S shop need to be improved; the paint quality is average; the door is blocked when closed; the rear seats are not spacious enough.

  Gower ranked 25th overall

  This is the first time that Gower has entered the scope of the consumer satisfaction survey. Among all models, Gower’s score is in the middle level, but among models in the same class, Gower’s score is at the top. This time, Gower ranks second among economy cars. As can be seen from the questionnaire sent back by readers, Gower’s satisfaction in the eyes of consumers is average. Gower has no obvious sub-categories at the top, and the usual sub-categories are in the middle level. Among them, the sub-categories such as air-conditioning performance, after-sales services, noise and reliability of mechanical components rank slightly higher. Consumers are satisfied with Gower’s relatively stable mechanical components, acceptable handling, sealing, and power performance, generous design, and harmonious paint quality and color matching.

  The improvement suggestions put forward by consumers include: the engine is not advanced enough, relatively backward, and the fuel consumption is high; the transmission and clutch also need to be improved; the workmanship of individual interior parts is rough; the safety is average (no ABS); and the assembly quality should be further improved.

  Antelope ranked 31st overall

  The Antelope sold well in 2004, breaking through the 50,000-car mark in one fell swoop. The Antelope’s score ranks high among the same class of models in this survey, and many sub-categories have achieved good results. Among them, fuel economy also won the first place in all models, maintenance costs also ranked high, and the sub-categories such as luggage compartment space, power and mechanical component reliability also ranked high. Consumers praised the Antelope for its low maintenance costs; easy maintenance; good braking performance; flexible handling; luggage compartment space is also large enough.

  The improvements proposed by consumers for the antelope include: poor sealing, the overall shape is "old"; the assembly quality needs to be improved; the engine noise is high, and the sealing should be improved; the door clearance is too large; the audio, especially the subwoofer, has low power; and the quality of the interior components needs to be improved.

  SPARK ranked 17th overall

  SPARK has received unanimous praise from consumers in this survey. Although the overall ranking is only 17, it is far ahead in the sub-car class. Some time ago, we often heard about the SPARK price increase in the market, which reflects consumers’ recognition of this model.

  In this survey, SPARK did not have a very prominent sub-item. Relatively speaking, it scored relatively high in sub-items such as overall styling, paint quality, interior space, interior quality, comfort, air conditioning performance, noise, fuel economy, and mechanical component reliability. Consumers report that SPARK has low interior noise; good sealing; reasonable interior space design; good fuel economy, very fuel-efficient; and fashionable and avant-garde overall styling. What makes consumers satisfied is also the abundant power performance.

  Consumers also put forward some improvement suggestions for SPARK, such as the higher price of spare parts; the small number of after-sales service stores, which is inconvenient to maintain; poor sealing; the blind spot of the A-pillar is large; the maintenance cost is higher; the chassis is slightly lower.

  Audi A4 ranked 10th overall

  The Audi A4 was officially launched in May 2004. It has been more than a year now. The Audi A4 has achieved good results for the first time in the survey, entering the top 10 in the overall ranking. The Audi A4 scored highly in sub-categories such as sound, power, paint quality and sealing. In its overall evaluation, consumers said that the Audi A4’s appearance is dynamic and stylish, with good interior workmanship and outstanding safety performance. In addition, the luggage compartment space and air conditioning performance have also won unanimous praise from consumers.

  At the same time, consumers have also put forward higher requirements for the Audi A4, and consumers hope that manufacturers can improve the details: reduce the maintenance cost of the Audi A4; improve the level of after-sales services; reduce fuel consumption; increase the rear row space; some consumers propose that the blind spot of the rearview mirror should be reduced.

  Audi A6

  There are only two models in this class, Audi A6 and Audi A4. Since FAW-Volkswagen has launched a new domestic Audi A6L, and the old model will be discontinued, this article will not focus on the Audi A6, but will only briefly explain the situation of the Audi A6 in this investigation.

  The results of each sub-category of the Audi A6 are basically in the middle level, which also makes the overall score of the Audi A6 in this survey not high, but the performance of the Audi A6 in some sub-categories is commendable. Consumers report that the power performance, safety performance and sealing performance of the Audi A6 are good, and the overall shape, paint quality and comfort are also satisfactory to consumers. In addition, consumers praise the Audi A6 for its large interior space and good sound effect.

  summarize
  Our consumer satisfaction survey has received strong support from our readers, and we would like to express our heartfelt thanks for their attention and support. Consumers consider many factors when buying a car, and their emphasis on various factors is also different. Some people place more emphasis on fuel economy, some people place more emphasis on power and handling, some people place more emphasis on after-sales services, and some people place more emphasis on maintenance costs. The lower-ranked models in the overall score may score highly in a certain sub-category. For example, the lower-ranked Xiali and Alto score very high in maintenance costs, and the characteristics of low maintenance costs are very suitable for the majority of economy car consumers. Therefore, they are also happy to choose these models.

  As the number of new models continues to increase, consumers can choose from more models, and our satisfaction survey will include more and more new models, even MPVs and SUVs. At the same time, we also hope that more and more consumers and manufacturers will participate, making this survey the most authoritative and comprehensive reference for consumers when purchasing a car.

Mao Zedong told astronauts not to be proud and to launch more Chinese satellites

Meeting with representatives of the development and launch of satellites

Inspire the people of the whole country

On the night of the first International Labor Day in the 1970s, Mao Zedong met with representatives of the development and launch of Long March rockets and Dongfanghong satellites on the Tiananmen Gate, reflecting his concern for the aerospace industry and his encouragement to astronauts.

After the satellite launch was successful, Zhou Enlai arranged for the development and launch personnel to participate in the observation of the Tiananmen Gate Tower on the evening of the "May Day" International Labor Day.

▲ On May 1, 1970, Chairperson Mao received representatives of the personnel who developed and launched the "Dongfanghong-1" satellite

Warmly shake hands with the delegates, express condolences and congratulations

The seats of the delegates were carefully arranged at the exit of the elevator on the west side of the city building, which is where the central chiefs have to go back and forth. That night, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and others accompanied Prince Sihanouk to the Tiananmen Gate Tower, and Chinese and foreign guests celebrated the festival of working people all over the world.

The leading comrades who specifically organized the implementation of the task, as well as the representatives of the research and development and launch test units, stood in formation on the long corridor to the right of Tiananmen Gate to watch the celebration.

Zhou Enlai guided Mao Zedong to the front of the team and introduced:

Chairperson, they are the staff representatives of the development and launch of satellites, and they just arrived in Beijing yesterday.

Mao Zedong smiled and happily shook hands with the delegates one by one, expressing his cordial condolences and congratulations.

The films shot by photographers back then left us with precious images, the excited smiles of astronauts and the images of shouting slogans, which have been indelibly recorded in the history of the development of New China and the struggles of astronauts.


▲ Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai

The second handshake and the long viewing ceremony made the astronauts unforgettable

After the party, when Zhou Enlai led Mao Zedong to withdraw, he walked past the representatives of the satellite launch, who competed to shake hands with Mao Zedong for the second time.

At that time, Liu Fuyu, the leader of the electrical measurement team of the satellite assembly workshop who did not catch up with the first handshake, recalled this incident decades later:

By the time they arrived at Tiananmen Gate, the party had already begun.

Qian Xuesen said regretfully:

Chairperson Mao has already received our delegation, but you missed it.

Unexpectedly, Mao Zedong received the delegation for the second time, and he finally shook hands with Chairperson Mao happily.

The satellite launch was successful! Mao Zedong offered his condolences to Qian Xuesen’s team at the Tiananmen Gate and shook hands one by one.

There was another detail that also left a deep impression on the astronauts who attended the party. On the night of "May Day", Mao Zedong spent a long time in Tiananmen Square.

According to Wang Shengyuan, who was in charge of satellite surveying and received by Mao Zedong at the time, he recalled:

I remember Wei Tongtai (the head of the Seven Aircraft Department) said at the time that he had participated in three such celebrations. The first two times, Chairperson Mao left before the fireworks were released. This time Chairperson Mao was very happy and left after all the fireworks were released.

Mao Zedong cordially received the successful personnel who developed and launched satellites, which inspired the fighting spirit of the vast number of astronauts and encouraged the construction of a modern socialist power.

Tell the astronauts not to be proud

To launch more Chinese satellites

After China’s first satellite was launched, Mao Zedong brought up the topic of satellites many times in his conversations with foreign guests over the past two years.

The central idea we read from this is that China has only launched one satellite, which is nothing. Mao Zedong’s arguments at the time were quite intriguing.

Wang Zhanhua, a satellite launch representative who attended the "May Day" Tiananmen ceremony, recalled:

Chairperson Mao said to the people that there are more than 2,000 satellites in the sky, and we are only one in 2,000! Even if there are 2,000 satellites, we can’t be proud, otherwise we will go to the opposite side. This is a lesson. All of us were deeply encouraged and promptly organized all units to study Chairperson Mao’s instructions carefully.

The 2013 "Chronicle of Mao Zedong" revealed similar words from later Mao Zedong, and more than one time. Mao Zedong’s words are slightly different and his meaning is slightly different.

There are so many satellites rotating in the sky, and the Chinese satellite is not a big deal

"Not so much admiration" for China’s satellite launch. On July 13, 1970, Mao Zedong met with a French government delegation. When the guest said that President Pompidou admired China’s scientific efforts, Mao Zedong said:

Just started, experimental. China is not a big country, I don’t believe it when the newspapers say it.

When Bettencourt said she admired China for releasing its own satellites, Mao Zedong said:

I don’t admire it that much, it’s nothing. Because there are so many satellites in the sky, all of them belong to those two countries. What do our countries count as two satellites?

The word used here is "not so admired", which is a reversal of the idea that guests "admire China very much," so it is "nothing". It is "pitiful" to think that launching a satellite is "pitiful". It is said that foreigners "always blow us away".

On September 23, 1970, during a meeting with Vietnamese leaders, he said:

China is not a big country, but a medium country. I debated this issue with France Bettencourt. In a way, we are not even as good as France. How can we be considered a big country?

He always boasted to us that you put a satellite in the sky. I said there are so many satellites in the sky every day, and we only have one, what is it?

The word used here is "what"! Westerners always exaggerate. This conversation can also provide a footnote to our understanding of the debate on "admiration" and "disadmiration" in the July 13 conversation.

Mao Zedong receives foreign guests

Launching a satellite is very pitiful, worrying about how to improve the economy

On July 20, 1970, Mao Zedong met with Congolese guests and said:

There are too many people in China, which is not commensurate with economic development. You are worried about your economy now, and we are also worried about how to improve it. It is not about building a few atomic bombs and launching a few satellites, which is very pitiful. There are many man-made satellites in this sky, all of which are owned by the United States and the Soviet Union. Only France and Japan have run up there. Recently, China has run up one.

The word "pitiful" is used after enumerating the first few countries to launch satellites, and asking "how to get the economy going" is the important question. Humbly put "only two".

On the evening of July 10, 1972, during a meeting with French Foreign Minister Schumann at Zhongnanhai Swimming Pool, Mao Zedong said of the tensions between China and the Soviet Union:

You hit yours, I’ll hit mine. We’ll use the same method we used to hit Chiang Kai-shek and the Japanese.

There are not as many atomic bombs as the Soviet Union, and we only put two satellites in the sky.

The phrase used here is "only two", at a time when China’s space program is in full swing.

Using the afterglow of life to illuminate the future of China’s aerospace industry

In his later years, Mao Zedong’s health and energy were getting worse, but his gaze still did not leave China’s aerospace progress.

When the Dongfanghong satellite was in full swing, on June 17, 1968, Mao Zedong approved the development of the ocean-going survey ship project, code-named "718 Project", which was later named after Mao Zedong’s handwritten poem "Far View" by Marshal Ye Jianying. They participated in the measurement and control tasks of almost all major space activities after launching long-range carrier rockets into the Pacific Ocean (code-named "580 Project").

China’s first ocean-going survey researchers work on deck

On July 14, 1970, Mao Zedong read the National Defense Science and Technology Commission’s "Plan Report on Astronaut Selection" and directed the launch of China’s manned spaceflight program, code-named "714 Project", which was an early rehearsal of China’s manned spaceflight program.

On March 31, 1975, Mao Zedong read the "Report on the Development of Satellite Communication Problems in our country", code-named "Project 331", which led to the "Dongfanghong No. 2" communications satellite that later jumped 36,000 kilometers away from the earth.

On November 26, 1975, the ill Mao Zedong reviewed the report of our country’s launch of remote sensing satellites, and then reviewed the relevant information sent back by the satellites.

Mao Zedong’s earnest instructions and aerospace layout have made the vast number of astronauts modest and cautious, making persistent efforts to promote China’s aerospace industry to make great strides into space.



▲ Chairperson Mao at the meeting

Nowadays, two tapes of "The East is Red" music from space lie quietly in the display case of the Comrade Mao Zedong Memorial Hall, telling the touching story to future generations.

The music of "The East is Red" sings the song in the chest of Chinese astronauts, accompanied by the rhyme of building a aerospace power, and becomes a lasting song of singing China’s aerospace and Chinese dreams.

The emotions and longing of the Chinese people expressed in "The East is Red" complement each other with the great Chinese road, Chinese strength and Chinese spirit, and compose a beautiful movement of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!

Personal computer market declines, HP starts layoffs again: more than 4,000 people are laid off in three years.

  Demand in the PC market is weak, and HP announced plans to "slim down".

  After the US stock market closed on November 22, local time, PC manufacturer Hewlett-Packard (HP Inc) released its fourth fiscal quarter results for fiscal year 2022 as of October 31 this year, during which its revenue dropped by 11% to $14.8 billion, with a loss of $3.1 billion. Hewlett-Packard said that it plans to cut 4,000 to 6,000 people around the world in the next three years, or 10% of the 51,000 employees, in order to save costs and achieve transformation.

  Hewlett-Packard said that this "Future Ready Transformation Plan" will reduce the company’s annualized total operating costs by at least $1.4 billion in the next three years, including about $1 billion related to restructuring. Hewlett-Packard said that of the $1 billion, $600 million will be allocated to the fiscal year 2023 ending on October 31, 2023, and the rest will be equally distributed between the fiscal years 2024 and 2025.

  It has been three years since HP last laid off employees. The US Consumer News and Business Channel (CNBC) said that the company’s last layoffs can be traced back to 2019, when HP announced that it would lay off 7,000 to 9,000 employees. As of October 2021, HP had about 51,000 employees.

  In the post-epidemic era, the dividend of home office faded, and consumers’ demand for personal computers decreased, which led to a sharp decline in the shipment of HP’s main product personal computers. Hewlett-Packard’s fourth-quarter financial report shows that the company’s revenue during the period decreased by 11.2% year-on-year to $14.8 billion; The net loss was $2 million, compared with the net profit of $3.1 billion in the same period last year, which turned a profit into a loss.

  Source: HP Quarterly Report

  In the fourth quarter, HP’s Personal Systems division, including personal computers, saw its revenue drop by 13% to US$ 10.3 billion, and its consumer business revenue dropped by 25% and its commercial business revenue dropped by 6%. In terms of shipments, HP’s total shipments decreased by 21% in the fourth quarter, including laptop shipments decreased by 26% and desktop shipments decreased by 3%; From the perspective of profitability, the operating profit margin of the personal system department decreased from 6.9% in the last quarter to 4.5%.

  Source: HP Quarterly Report

  Based on this, HP issued a pessimistic profit guideline. For the next fiscal quarter, the company predicted that the adjusted net profit per share would be 70 cents to 80 cents, which was lower than the analyst’s forecast of 86 cents. For fiscal year 2023, HP expects adjusted net profit per share to be $3.2 to $3.6, which is also lower than the analyst’s forecast of $3.62 per share. The company predicts that the market demand for personal computers will further decline in the next fiscal quarter.

  Not only HP, but also the whole PC market is facing the dilemma of weak demand. According to the report released by research institute Gartner10 in October, global PC shipments totaled 68 million units in the past quarter, down 19.5% year-on-year, which is the biggest decline since the analysis institute began to track the PC market in the mid-1990s.

  Gartner analyst Mikako Kitagawa believes that this marks a historic slowdown in the PC market. He said, "In view of the weak demand for personal computers from consumers and commercial markets, high inventory has become a major problem. Although many companies have carried out large-scale promotion and price reduction, the sales results are disappointing because many consumers have bought new computers in the past two years and there is no demand at present. In terms of business, geopolitical and economic uncertainties lead to more selective IT spending, and personal computers are not on the priority list of consumers. "

  Dell Inc, HP’s competitor, faces the same problem. Dell’s total revenue in the third quarter fell by 6% to $24.7 billion. The company said that the weak PC market will continue, and it is expected that the decline in PC revenue will be even greater in the next quarter.

  As of the close of US stocks on November 22nd, HP rose slightly by 0.75% to close at $29.38 per share.

Will the writing robot "live" artificial intelligence replace human beings in one minute?

  Will this happen? Cai Hua Wei hui

  Not long ago, at the Weiqi Summit in Wuzhen, China, the artificial intelligence program "Alpha Dog" played against China Weiqi professional nine-stage player Ke Jie, ranking first in the world, with a total score of 3: 0. Prior to this, it had defeated Li Shishi, a Korean professional nine-stage chess player who was also the world champion of Weiqi, with a total score of 4∶1, and played fast chess against dozens of Weiqi masters from China, China and South Korea with the registered account of "Master" on the Korean chess website, without losing for 60 consecutive games. In the past two years, "Alpha Dog" has swept the chess world of China, Japan and Korea, and its performance is perfect every time.

  All along, there has been a view that the development of artificial intelligence will threaten the survival of human beings, and the fact that "Alpha Dog" can repeatedly defeat human beings in a typical Weiqi game that reflects human wisdom has aggravated some people’s worries.

  So, how big is the direct impact of artificial intelligence on people’s work and life? It has some human abilities, even better than human beings. Will it compete with human beings in the future and even pose a threat to us?

  Have a must

  Comparable advantage

  In the future, artificial intelligence can make high-level predictions and decisions in financial investment, medical diagnosis, enterprise management and military command.

  Will artificial intelligence replace human beings? It should be said that this kind of worry also has some truth.

  In recent years, the development of artificial intelligence in all aspects is gradually improving, with more and more applications, and its performance has surpassed that of human beings in many aspects.

  For example, in September 2015, Tencent Finance launched an automated news writing robot. It can automatically generate manuscripts in the first time according to the algorithm, output analysis and judgment instantly, and deliver important information and interpretation to users within one minute.

  Also, Microsoft Xiao Bing, as a virtual companion robot, can simulate people’s tone and talk to people, making people feel that this is a living person rather than a machine when chatting.

  In addition, according to foreign media reports, JPMorgan Chase has developed a financial contract analysis software, which takes only a few seconds to complete the work that lawyers and credit personnel need 360,000 hours a year, and the error rate is greatly reduced.

  Liu Xiwei, deputy director of the Institute of Wisdom Education of Qingdao Intelligent Industry Research Institute, said: "In terms of problem solving, artificial intelligence programs have been able to know how to consider the problems they want to solve, that is, search the solution space and find better solutions. In terms of driverless driving, artificial intelligence has been able to achieve autonomous driving under long-distance complex road conditions. "

  "In the future, at the cognitive level, artificial intelligence will have a broad application space. For example, artificial intelligence can make high-level predictions and decisions in financial investment, medical diagnosis, business management, and military command." Sun Zhenan, a researcher at the Institute of Automation, China Academy of Sciences, said.

  The famous physicist Stephen Hawking believes that the impact of artificial intelligence on human society will be even greater. At the end of 2016, he published an article in the British "Guardian" predicting: "The automation of factories has caused many traditional manufacturing workers to lose their jobs. The rise of artificial intelligence is likely to spread the unemployment tide to the middle class, leaving only care, creation and supervision for human beings."

  Such a judgment remains to be verified in the future, but compared with human wisdom, artificial intelligence does have incomparable advantages.

  Liu Xiwei said: "Compared with the human brain, artificial intelligence algorithms should be more accurate, fast, stable and reliable in numerical and symbolic calculations. Especially for computing problems with definite rules, artificial intelligence can far exceed the computing speed of human brain, and it is easier to find the optimal solution. For example, in numerical calculation, recognition of graphics, voice, biological characteristics, behavior and posture, and even more complex predictive reasoning tasks, artificial intelligence has outstanding performance beyond the human brain. "

  Will not replace

  Even threaten mankind.

  Artificial intelligence doesn’t have perceptual thinking and can’t cross into the field of consciousness.

  So, will artificial intelligence really replace human beings and even pose a threat to us? Several experts interviewed by the reporter gave negative answers.

  First of all, experts believe that the current computer architecture and programming mode are inherently inferior, which makes it impossible for artificial intelligence to realize natural interaction with human emotions, will, mentality, emotions and experience. In essence, artificial intelligence is only the concept of the material world category, and it can’t cross the field of consciousness.

  Dr. Roger Sperry, who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology in 1981, once published the famous "theory of division of labor between left and right brain", arguing that the left hemisphere of the human brain has different division of labor: the left hemisphere is good at rational abstract thinking such as analysis, logic, deduction and reasoning; The right hemisphere is good at perceptual image thinking such as intuition, emotion, art and inspiration. So far, all the intelligent performances of artificial intelligence only imitate the rational thinking mode of human left hemisphere, but do not have the perceptual thinking of right hemisphere at all.

  "That is to say, the current artificial intelligence technology is still difficult to deal with all kinds of problems in the social, cultural and conscious fields that have a significant impact on human subjective consciousness, while the human brain can easily cope with such problems through long-term learning and growth in a complex social environment." Liu Xiwei did not say.

  He further cited, for example, that artificial intelligence has not yet created a truly human-oriented work. "Computer and human brain, after all, have the essential difference between mechanical and life spirit, so there is still an insurmountable gap between computer creation and human brain creation. Individualization is the life of human literary and artistic creation. There is no individuality in the existing computer creation system, but it is only the imitation, reproduction and reorganization of existing works of art. "

  Then, with the continuous development and improvement of artificial intelligence, is it possible to realize this spontaneous emotional intelligence in the future?

  "Emotional intelligence is divided into two levels, one is to let the machine have emotion, and the other is to let the machine understand people’s emotions. They are different," said Yi Jianqiang, a researcher at the Institute of Automation, China Academy of Sciences. "It is possible to let the machine understand people’s emotions. At present, some robot systems can partially understand the scene, environment and dialogue content, and make corresponding reactions or expressions according to the results. However, it is difficult or impossible to achieve a robot or artificial intelligence system that fully reaches the level of human beings and has spontaneous emotions and creativity. "

  Wang Feiyue, vice chairman and secretary general of China Automation Association, agrees with this. "I personally think that it will not be realized in 100 years, and it may never be realized unless we redefine what is human emotion, understanding, reasoning and so on. The reason is very simple. People still don’t know the connotation, process and way of these emotions. "

  Will become human

  Accelerator of development

  Artificial intelligence does have a certain impact on human employment, but human work will not disappear, but will be transformed into new forms.

  Scientists also believe that artificial intelligence technology is just a new tool created by human wisdom, which helps mankind to make breakthroughs faster and improve our ability to deal with those global problems that need to be solved urgently.

  "We need artificial intelligence as a powerful tool to help deal with complex problems, predict the unknown, and support us to achieve previously impossible goals." Wang Feiyue said.

  Experts say that many epoch-making scientific and technological achievements will inevitably lead to changes in people’s lifestyles, which may be difficult to accept in the short term. However, if we look at the long river of history, we will find that all major scientific and technological revolutions will eventually become accelerators for human development without exception, and at the same time, they will also be the fundamental guarantee for improving the quality of human life.

  "The same is true for the emergence of artificial intelligence technology, which will indeed have a certain impact on human employment. For example, artificial intelligence is more suitable for dealing with simple repetition, rule determination or finding effective rules through case study. It is more efficient and reliable to hand it over to artificial intelligence, such as security inspection, watching pathological sections and monitoring video audits, and these types of jobs are therefore more vulnerable to impact and substitution. " However, Yi Jianqiang said that there is no need to worry that it will completely replace human beings. "Take the first industrial revolution as an example. It not only replaced the existing jobs of human beings, but also created enough new employment opportunities. In most cases, work has not disappeared, but has changed into a new form. "

  Yi Jianqiang said that the replacement of carriages by cars is a very typical example. At that time, when cars began to enter big cities and gradually spread, carriages that had been used as travel tools for hundreds of years faced the threat of being laid off. However, it turns out that the newly emerging automobile industry has thousands or even tens of thousands of times more output value and job opportunities than the traditional carriage industry.

  "At this stage, in a working scene that truly realizes artificial intelligence, traditional workers have not been ‘ Laid off ’ , just changed the role. Humans still need to monitor the performance of artificial intelligence, collect and analyze information, conduct predictive experiments and evaluations, and guide process management and control. " Wang Feiyue said, "I believe that more than 90% of human work will be provided by artificial intelligence in the future, just as most of our work today is provided by computers and various other machines."

Massa Brazil won the pole position at home and the staggered start of the race was confusing.

  In qualifying for the Brazilian Grand Prix, Ferrari driver Massa once again won the pole position in front of his hometown, and Hamilton and Raikkonen were ranked second and third respectively. A driver who has dropped out of the championship race won the pole position, which brought more attention to tomorrow’s race.


  Netease Sports reported on October 21st that in the just-concluded qualifying session of the F1 Brazilian Grand Prix in 2007, Massa from Ferrari won the pole position with a score of 1 minute, 11 seconds, 931, McLaren driver Hamilton ranked second, Raikkonen and Alonso ranked third and fourth respectively.


  


  


  Massa’s hometown won pole position, which made the race more suspenseful.


  The first stage:


  Sutil and Sakon Yamamoto went to the track first, and the Japanese first made a score of 1 minute, 16 seconds and 135 seconds. Most drivers didn’t come to the track in the first five minutes. In 10 minutes, Fisichella made a score of 1 minute, 14 seconds and 026, and then Coulthard rose to the second place with a score of 1 minute, 13 seconds and 264. At this time, Ferrari and McLaren drivers have not officially started to do their own results. I believe that they can go back to the pits to repair as long as they make one or two achievements.


  In 8 minutes, Hamilton made a time of 1 minute and 13 seconds 033, which was the first time for the British to run qualifying at the Interlagos circuit. Then his teammate Alonso only made a time of 1 minute and 13 seconds 674, ranking fifth, while Raikkonen behind the Spaniard ran a time of 1 minute and 13 seconds 016. But then several big-name drivers began to do laps again. Obviously, the previous drivers didn’t run at the normal pace. About the 10th minute, Ferrari driver Massa ran a score of 1 minute, 12 seconds and 303 in his first effective lap. The Brazilian worked very hard in his hometown.


  On the last lap, many drivers, including Schumacher and Kouvalainen, were working hard to enter the second qualifying session. Alonso, on the other hand, raised his score to 1 minute, 12 seconds, 895, and rose to second place. In the end, the top four drivers in qualifying at this stage are: Massa, Alonso, Raikkonen and Hamilton. The drivers eliminated at this stage are: Sakon Yamamoto, Sutil, Davidson, Koichi Nakajima, takuma sato and Kouvalainen, and all three Japanese drivers were eliminated.


  The second stage:


  In the first 5 minutes of this stage, no driver drove on the track to make achievements. Five minutes later, Schumacher first appeared on the track, and the German took the lead in making a score of 1 minute 13 seconds 783, which was later refreshed by teammate Trulli with a score of 1 minute 13 seconds 024. Then the big-name drivers began to make achievements. After Massa made 1 minute 12 seconds 374, Raikkonen and Hamilton successively made 1 minute 12 seconds 161 and 1 minute 12 seconds 296, ranking first and second temporarily. However, Alonso’s performance is still quite bad, with 1 minute, 12 seconds and 637 seconds only ranking fourth. After finishing this batch of results, all the drivers returned to the garage for finishing. Only two BMW drivers on the track are trying their best to do their best.


  There are still three minutes left in the second stage of the race. Ferrari and McLaren have given up the opportunity to do their best again. It seems that the two teams still want to make some reservations before the decisive battle comes. While the midstream team is fighting for the chance to enter the top ten. The most dangerous thing is still the Toyota team. Schumacher is still in the top 10 after struggling for two laps. Renault veteran Giancarlo Fisichella has not escaped being eliminated, and BMW’s heidfeld squeezed out Honda driver Barrichello who fought locally at the last minute and made it into the top 10. Obviously, BMW has given up on this season. They have been mediocre in these two races and their eyes have been set far into the 2008 season. In the end, the eight drivers eliminated in this qualifying session are Barton, Schumacher Jr., Riuz, Vettel, Fisichella and Barrichello.


  The third stage:


  As usual, the drivers lined up at the exit of the pit. Today, the first driver was McLaren driver Hamilton, his teammate Alonso was behind him, and behind the silver arrow were two Ferrari cars. The green light at the exit of the pit is open, and drivers are driving on the track. The first 8 minutes is still a necessary fuel consumption stage, and interested drivers can play overtaking games on the track in advance, but it is a necessary task for drivers to consume fuel properly. After leaving the station, Raikkonen had already bitten the former Alonso, but there was absolutely no need for them to start full-scale hand-to-hand combat at this time. Massa, on the other hand, gave way to BMW’s Kubica actively, and the Brazilians wanted to make more room for their achievements.


  In 8 minutes, Raikkonen and Massa first stopped to change tires, and both of them put on soft tires and went out to make achievements, while McLaren there had no plans to stop at all. A minute later, Hamilton and Alonso entered the station in tandem, and they also put on soft tires and left the station. The final qualifying competition between Silver Arrow and Red Devils this season started in the 10th minute. After that, Raikkonen first made a score of 1 minute, 12 seconds and 539, followed by Massa, who refreshed the score to 1 minute, 12 seconds and 128. The speed of Ferrari was very fast. However, the performance of McLaren behind him seems to have a certain gap. Hamilton rose to the second place with a score of 1 minute, 12 seconds and 296, while Alonso’s score was still not good. The score of 1 minute, 12 seconds and 637 was not even as fast as that of Red Bull’s Webber.


  Several drivers stopped for the last time to change tires and make a full sprint. After Hamilton left the station, he was just in front of Raikkonen, who left the station one lap earlier. Obviously, the Finn was in a hurry, and his performance in the second counting period was very bad, but he still had one more lap compared with McLaren. When the timer stopped, Massa made the best score of 1 minute, 11 seconds and 931 at the last minute, followed by Hamilton’s score of 1 minute, 12 seconds and 082, which was 0.28 seconds slower than Massa! Massa won pole position in Interlagos! Alonso is only fourth! A driver who has dropped out of the championship competition won the pole position, which brought a lot of points for tomorrow’s race! In the end, the top ten drivers who started the race in Brazil were Massa, Hamilton, Raikkonen, Alonso, Weber, heidfeld, Kubica, Trulli, Coulthard and Rosberg.

The first successful "dialogue" between humans and whales will help to communicate with extraterrestrial life in the future.

According to a report on the American Fun Science website on the 17th, American scientists recently successfully "talked" with a humpback whale named Twain through underwater speakers, and recorded the "contact number" of the call back to the humpback whale. The research team said that this "dialogue" between humans and humpback whales provides valuable experience for human beings to communicate with extraterrestrial life in the future.
The latest research was carried out by scientists from SETI Institute, University of California, Davis and Alaska Whale Foundation. SETI Institute pointed out in a statement that in Journey Home, the fourth film of Star Trek series, the information sent by an alien probe unintentionally destroyed human technology, and the crisis was solved only when the protagonist and his crew realized that it was trying to communicate with whales on earth. This kind of inter-species communication is of great significance to the search for extraterrestrial life.
Fred Sharp, the co-author of the latest study and the Alaska Whale Foundation, said in a statement that humpback whales are very smart, have a complex social system, make tools to fish, and communicate extensively through songs. Cooperation with humpback whales provides a unique opportunity for scientists to study the intelligent communication of non-human species.
In the latest research, Twain responded to researchers’ calls by matching the interval change between each playback call signal within 20 minutes. After hearing the "contact number" played by the underwater speaker, Twain would swim close and circle the team’s boat. The research team said that this kind of "communication" shows a complex level of understanding and interaction, reflecting a dialogue style similar to human beings. Brenda McGovern of the University of California, Davis, said in a statement that this is the first time that such communication has been conducted between humans and humpback whales in the "language" of humpback whales.
It is reported that the team is further studying the humpback whale communication system to better understand how to detect and interpret signals from outer space. These findings can also help to develop filters to receive extraterrestrial signals reaching the earth and to find extraterrestrial life. (Reporter Liu Xia)

Summary of the warm-up match of men’s basketball team, qi zhou and other seven people are excellent, and the front line is shining. Guangdong’s double control needs to work hard

China men’s basketball team ended its fifth warm-up match, beating Cape Verde 86-66, with a score difference as high as 20 points. Qiao Shuai sent qi zhou, Zhou Peng, Zhang Zhenlin, Cui Yongxi and Zhao Rui to start, and qi zhou scored in a row. After that, Zhang Zhenlin continued to fire. In the first half, China team established an advantage, and in the second half, the whole team blossomed, so how to vote? The last quarter became training time, and China’s attack was flowing.

Insider is still the biggest advantage of China team. qi zhou scored 8 points and 3 rebounds, and shot 4 of 5, especially in the first quarter, which almost became qi zhou’s personal performance. He scored in the basket continuously, and the former NBA player tavares did not fall into the wind. The latter couldn’t beat qi zhou at all, and was finally abandoned by the opposing coach. However, qi zhou’s rebound needs to be strengthened. Hu Jinqiu scored 8 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, shot 3 of 3, and hit two three-pointers, including a frontal battering.

Wang Zhelin scored 9 points and 2 rebounds, made 3 of 3 shots and made 3 of 7 free throws. His offensive efficiency was very high. He stormed the basket with the ball for many times and scored two plus one. One ball was dunked by Fang Shuomiao’s hands, which greatly boosted morale. His tonnage was very advantageous in the basket. The other side could not hold Wang Zhelin, but the free throws still needed to be strengthened. On the whole, he made two free throws and made one free throw, which wasted an easy scoring opportunity.

The front line was amazing. Cui Yongxi scored the team’s highest 18 points and 4 rebounds, and shot 8 of 9. He performed very well, and almost didn’t miss a shot. One of the goals was very wonderful. From the bottom line to the basket, Zhao Jiwei got the message, and the three-point line foreign minister passed, Cui Yongxi dunked with his hands, which surprised him. Then he dunked again with Vince’s wonderful pass, and once broke through the pull rod layup under the basket, which made people think of McGrady and Zhang Zhen.

Veteran Fang Shuo’s performance was eye-catching, with 11 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, 4 of 7 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 1 of 1 free throw, a mid-range emergency jump shot, and a chasing three-pointer, and he was able to break through the basket, which was worthy of being called "Fang Chaoju". Zhao Jiwei scored 4 points, 1 rebound and 9 assists, 1 of 3 three-pointers and 1 of 2 free throws, with positive and negative values as high as +30, the highest in the team.

The Guangdong team’s double control performance was average, especially Zhao Rui, who made his debut for 20 minutes, got 4 points and 2 assists, shot 2 of 7, made 0 of 3-pointers, and the positive and negative values were–3. Obviously, he was not in the state, and he didn’t feel very good. After a mistake, he pulled the opponent in place and was convicted of violating the rules. Qiao Shuai was still very optimistic about Zhao Rui. After all, he was relatively tall, and it was better to play the first position at 195 cm.

Hu Mingxuan was the last to play, only playing for 5 minutes, sending out an assist, and didn’t get many opportunities. Qiao Shuai was still inspecting the players. He Xining got many opportunities, scored 5 points and 3 rebounds, made 2 shots, made 1 of 3-pointers, and seized the opportunity. His height satisfied Qiao Shuai. Zhu Junlong scored 6 points and 2 rebounds, and his performance was remarkable. Fu Hao scored 3 points. At the last moment, he came up.

The game was satisfactory as a whole. Qiao Shuai brought great changes and the attack was smoother. His three-point shooting percentage was as high as 52%, 21 assists and 31 rebounds. These three figures were much higher than those of Cape Verde, but his free-throw shooting percentage was only 50%. qi zhou and other insiders played a mainstay role, and the front line was amazing, especially Cui Yongxi, who fulfilled his talent. Although Zhao Jiwei didn’t score much, he was well organized.

Depth: After studying the NBA playoffs in the past 30 years, I found the mystery of James winning or losing, and the conclusion was unexpected.

The NBA is a commercial league, and everything is for profit. For this, James sees it clearly and further than many people. He knows the rules of the game and knows how to play the game well.

If you want to be taken care of by the alliance, it must be in the interests of the alliance. Like Jordan at the peak, after the magician and Bird faded out of the rivers and lakes, he has become the most shining star and the facade of the alliance, and his every move has a great influence. However, Jordan’s contribution to the league is too great. It can be said that players can get such a high salary now thanks to Jordan, so everyone will not have any opinions if he gets a little care. There is no absolute fairness in this world.

The most important thing is that Jordan’s own hard power has passed, and the league can win everyone with a little applause. Even if the league doesn’t help, he can win all his opponents in the playoffs, so the controversy caused by Jordan in the past is not that big.

In this regard, Jordan’s regular season data, playoff data and finals data show a step-by-step obvious upward trend, which is evident. Other players are better than Kobe and James. Although the playoff data is also better than the regular season, the increase is not obvious, and the finals are even more difficult.

For big players, they are not as enjoyable as perimeter players, so they naturally get less care.

By the time the OK team ruled the Lakers, their dominance was still slightly inferior to Jordan’s. Do you think the league didn’t take care of them? There are still some more or less. However, in the 2002 Western Conference Finals, the series between Kings and Lakers, the referee failed to control the game, which can be said that both sides were not very good, and it also caused great controversy later.

Later, in the era of James and Curry, including the team where Thunder Sanshao was located, Durant, Wei Shao and Harden (including after joining the Rockets), these people were taken care of to varying degrees. These things are already clear to everyone, so I won’t repeat them here.

James is a very clever man, and his cleverness is reflected in many aspects. As mentioned earlier, he saw through the essence of the alliance very early, and it is one thing to learn and play this game better than anyone else.

On the other hand, on the court, especially in the series of playoffs, we can see it through many things.

If every series in the playoffs is full, there are seven games. James often tests and observes his opponent in the first game, and finds out the routines of the opponent, and of course, the routines of the league and the referee.

Many times, opponents won the first game against James’ team, but they often couldn’t laugh at the end, especially after James joined the Heat.

For this strange phenomenon, there is only one explanation, that is, James’s understanding and observation ability is too strong. He didn’t really exert himself in the first game of the series. He will find the weakness of the opponent’s tactical routine through observation and start to defeat his opponent with his strength in the second game.

One of the classic examples is the 2012 finals. Although the Youth Army Thunder won the first battle, James, who was aiming at the championship, quickly found the weakness of the Youth Army and led the Heat to win his first championship trophy for 40% in a row.

Some people say that Rondo can remember each other’s tactics and make a magical move to let Cousins successfully defend the opponent in the bottom corner. James can also remember each other’s tactics and find a solution after the first game of the series.

There is also a classic case. In the 2013 finals, James’s Heat also lost in the first game, and there were several big scores to lose. There were many factors that Popovich was tricky and difficult to deal with, but in the end, James dismantled them one by one and finally won the tiebreaker.

After losing the first game of the series, there are too many cases in which James’ team bounced back and beat their opponents. In those days, he reversed the Bulls and Pacers in the Heat, and later reversed the Rockets where Harden was after the Cavaliers reversed the Pacers and Celtics, and arrived in the Lakers.

The most classic finals case is the 2016 finals. After the first four games, the Cavaliers were 1-3 behind, but James seized the opportunity of Green’s suspension. The most important thing was Bogut’s reimbursement, so that he and Owen could take turns to attack the inside line, and he knew the referee’s penalty scale and the league’s need for greater interests. They seized the weakness of the Warriors and beat them hard, and finally successfully reversed the game.

James reached the finals ten times, four of which won the championship, and the four wins were:

In 2012, he defeated Thunder 4-1.

In 2013, he defeated the Spurs 4-3.

In 2016, the Warriors were defeated 4-3.

In 2020, beat the Heat 4-2.

And lost six times, respectively:

In 2007, he lost 4-0 to the Spurs.

In 2011, 2-4 lost to the Mavericks.

In 2014, 1-4 lost to the Spurs.

In 2015, 2-4 lost to the Warriors.

In 2017, 1-4 lost to the Warriors.

In 2018, 0-4 lost to the Warriors.

Except for 2011 and 2015, the six finals defeats were all defeats, and there was no resistance at all, and all of them lost by a big score. Although such a big defeat was also found among other stars, it was very rare to be so dense.

Even in the two wins in 2013 and 2016, there were times when there were big scores. The sixth game in 2013 was a narrow escape, while the 2016 was a Jedi counterattack, but it was considered controversial.

In this regard, some people have concluded that James met a strong enemy in the finals. When he won, he could only win a little, but when he lost, he was defeated. There are the following reasons:

(1), the quality of the will is not good, and it is tough, but it will soon give up if it is found that it can’t be carried. There is no spirit of fighting to the end, and there is no courage to fight to the last soldier.

Tough, that is, when the score is tight, James can often help the team win the game, because his style of play makes the team’s offensive output stable. As long as the opponent is unstable at the critical moment, his team is likely to win.

But once James’ team can’t defend its opponent, it is easy to be defeated and give up defense.

Every star has been defeated, but James has played more games and certainly more.

(2) With the help of the referee, if he loses too much, he can’t blow it back, but a tight game can help him win.

There are too many examples, and it’s not just him who has this problem. Almost every star has it.

(3), eat the eastern dividend, you can break through by organizing a group in the weak east, but when you meet a strong enemy in the west, you will show your true colors and have no resistance.

In this regard, some people give an example to illustrate what will be the result of James’ record in the west. In 2007, James’ record can only rank sixth in the west, so the Spurs, who ranked third in the west in the first round, will be swept out. In other words, James, who can win the championship in the east, can only travel in the first round in the west. The contrast between reaching the finals and the first round tour is really too great.

The reason why James lost more and won less in the finals was because his opponents were too strong. He met Duncan and Curry in the top ten in history, as well as Nowitzki and Durant in the top twenty.

And his opponents are have no martial ethics, Duncan’s team is actually a multi-giant configuration, Parker is the first in France, Ginobili is the first in Argentina, and both teams have the strength to beat the US team, so you can imagine how strong they are! The Spurs are actually a group team, and it is normal for James to lose to them.

Not to mention the Warriors, two MVP groups, Curry and Durant, as well as the first 3D soup god in history and the sixth person, Iguodala, who is the best in history, who can stand up to the universe?

Analysis of the situation of Premier League competition 4! Manchester United only need one point? Judging from three factors, the qualification for the Champions League is too stable.

After beating Bournemouth 1-0, the difference between Manchester United and Liverpool in the first round was opened to 3 points. With two rounds left, Manchester United only need one point to qualify for the Champions League, and the situation is very good. To put it another way, it is certain that Manchester United will win the top four. Although firmino’s goal saved Liverpool a glimmer of hope, there is not much difference between 0 and 1. Because of the three factors, Manchester United will definitely get points in the last two rounds.
First of all, the last two rounds are at home. The home game is a bonus for Manchester United, and the bonus range is very obvious. This season, except for being defeated by Brighton at home in the first round, the league has not lost a game at home. After beating Wolves 2-0, Manchester United’s record difference between home and away in the Premier League this season is obvious, with 13 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss at home, goal difference +22, 7 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses away, and goal difference -12.
It is no exaggeration to say that if Manchester United’s away record can be half as good as that at home, it is now in the ranks of the championship. If you can have 1/3, you will have the top 4 long ago. Where can you play so hard at the end of the season and count points with your fingers?
Secondly, Manchester United’s opponents in the last two rounds have nothing to want. Lampard released the pressure after winning the first victory in the second palace. At present, Chelsea has accumulated 43 points, which is more than enough. Moreover, Chelsea’s current state is quite unstable. This round of home 2-2 draw with relegation team Nottingham Forest. Therefore, it is unrealistic to expect Chelsea to win at Manchester United’s home.
Fulham are in a similar situation. They are currently ranked 10th with 52 points. Brentford, who is only four points behind the ninth place in one round, has been unable to qualify for the European War, so it is also a state of wanting nothing.
What will be the state of "no desire, no demand"? Bournemouth gave us a performance this round. To tell the truth, Manchester United’s state in this game is not good, especially the three players in the front line. Marchal plays health football, Sancho is a "three noes" and Anthony is the offensive terminator. If it weren’t for Pang Hu’s stroke of genius and Degea’s pounce, it would be very difficult for Manchester United to score 3 points away from home. Moreover, Bournemouth didn’t try his best. From the strength of the rush, it can be seen that they didn’t have the pressure to win.
In addition, judging from the history of Manchester United’s confrontation with Chelsea and Fulham, the requirement of getting 1 point is quite low. The red-blue war is actually quite interesting. No matter which team is at its peak, the confrontation between the two teams mostly ends in a draw. Starting from 2-2 in 2018, the two teams have drawn six times in the past eight league matches, all the past five games have been drawn, and Manchester United won the other two games. The last time Chelsea beat Manchester United in the league was on November 6, 2017, 1-0 at home. Manchester United, however, remained unbeaten at home, losing only 3 goals in 12 games.
Therefore, considering the historical confrontation record of the two teams in the league and the state of the two teams this season, it is very unlikely that Manchester United will not get a point at home.
And Manchester United’s record against Fulham is also overwhelming. 10 wins and 2 draws in the last 12 league matches. Too far away, there have been five confrontations since 18 years ago. Manchester United scored 4 wins and 1 draw, scoring 12 goals and losing 4 goals. 2 wins and 1 draw at home and 3 wins away. The 2-1 away win this season shows that even though Manchester United are "away bugs", they still restrain "farmers", let alone at Old Trafford.
Therefore, considering the above three factors, it is impossible for Manchester United not to get 1 point in the last two rounds. In the words of the fans: "If such a good situation can’t get the top four, Tenghage can really consider taking the blame and resigning."
