A | NEW YORK -- A'ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces secured their place as one of the greatest teams in WNBA history.The Aces became the first team to repeat as champions in 21 years, getting 24 points and 16 rebounds from Wilson and a defensive stop in the closing seconds to beat the New York Liberty 70-69 in Game 4 of the Finals on Wednesday night.“It’s not easy, as you know. This is what it's all about,” Wilson said. “Not a lot of people get to do it. To be short-handed and win is amazing. It makes the win that much better. It's hard to get back to the Finals to win again.”The Aces joined the Los Angeles Sparks (2001-02) and the Houston Comets (1997-2000) as the only teams in league history to win consecutive titles.Las Vegas did it without starters Chelsea Gray and Kiah Stokes, who were both sidelined with foot injuries suffered in Game 3. Gray, the 2022 WNBA Finals MVP, was constantly in the ear of her teammates during timeouts and shouting encouragement from the sideline. Las Vegas was also still missing veteran Candace Parker, who had foot surgery in late July.“We’ve been facing adversity all season, playing without different players. ... We have some professional fighters," said Alysha Clark, who was pressed into the starting lineup Wednesday. “To weather the storm of everything we went through, to show up every single day. To be in this moment right now and do it together, it speaks volumes about us, our chemistry.”Coach Becky Hammon said this was the closest team she has ever been around. The entire team attended the postgame news conference and cheered every answer, especially those by Wilson, the Finals MVP, who finished third in the regular-season MVP balloting.With the game tied at 64, Las Vegas scored six straight points, including the first four by Jackie Young, to go ahead 70-64 with 1:26 left.Courtney Vandersloot hit a 3-pointer on New York's next possession, then stole the ball from Kelsey Plum, which led to Sabrina Ionescu's foul-line jumper to get the Liberty within one with 41.7 seconds left.On the ensuing possession, Las Vegas worked the shot clock down before Hammon called timeout with 3 seconds left on the shot clock. The Aces got the ball to Wilson on a lob, but Breanna Stewart blocked the shot, giving New York one last chance.After a timeout with 8.8 seconds left, the Liberty got the ball to Stewart, who was double-teamed. The ball swung over to Vandersloot in the corner, but her shot missed badly, setting off a wild celebration by the Aces at midcourt.“It's a play we’ve ran before, get the ball to Stewie’s hand,” Liberty coach Sandy Brondello said. “Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t. We got it where we wanted to, but didn’t make it.”Vandersloot finished with 19 points and Betnijah Laney added 15 for New York. Hammon said before the game she would be “throwing the kitchen sink at (the Liberty), see what sticks, see what works.”The Aces rotated defenses, which stymied New York after the Liberty scored 23 points in the first quarter. “I think they were throwing whatever defense they had at us and make sure it’s ugly,” Stewart said. “Sometimes we lost our flow and ball movement.”Hammon started WNBA sixth woman of the year Clark and Cayla George in place of Gray and Stokes. Clark did a stellar job on her former Seattle Storm teammate Stewart, holding her to 10 points on 3-of-17 shooting. George had 11 points.“Just knowing what she likes to do. And just locking in and making sure that I don’t give that to her," Clark said of guarding Stewart. "I’m so proud of this team.”This was the first close game of the season between these teams. The four regular-season matchups were all blowouts with the closest contest being a nine-point win by New York on Aug. 28. The first three games of the WNBA Finals were also routs, with New York winning Game 3 87-73 to stave off elimination.Game 4 was so tense that Ionescu was seen vomiting into a trash can during a timeout midway through the fourth quarter, shortly after she hit a 3-pointer to get the Liberty within 60-58. Ionescu stayed in the game after the timeout.New York's record fell to 2-10 all-time in the WNBA Finals. Teams that fall behind 0-2 in the best-of-five series Finals have lost all nine of those series.STAR-STUDDED CROWDOnce again, New York drew dozens of celebrities to the game, including basketball royalty Sue Bird and Dawn Staley — the South Carolina coach who loudly cheered on her former star player, Wilson. The two embraced in a long hug after the game. Also in attendance were Liberty Ring of Honor members Vickie Johnson and Sue Wicks, and actors Jennifer Connelly, Issa Rae and Jason Sudeikis.___AP WNBA: https://apnews.com/hub/wnba-basketball。

B | 北京时间1月10日消息,特斯拉的新一代跑车,公司首席执行官埃隆·马斯克有许多惊人的言论。现在,马斯克声称跑车可以在空中飞行。当新款跑车首次发布时,Musk发布了一系列令人印象深刻的规格,包括100公里加速1.9秒和行驶620英里(998公里)。马斯克一再表示,这些规范是“基本规范”,而其他版本的规范将是“疯狂的”。后来,马斯克表示,特斯拉将提供一套“spacex套件”,其中包括冷空气推进器。穆斯克说,这些相当于小型火箭发动机的推进器“将大大提高汽车在加速、最高速度、制动和转向方面的性能”,但他还说,这“甚至可能使特斯拉汽车飞起来”。现在,为了回应TwitterGIF的空中飞行汽车地图,穆斯克说,“新跑车将有类似的功能”。起初,人们认为马斯克对跑车“SpaceX西服”发布的评论只是一个笑话,但事实证明,他真诚地希望特斯拉能发布这样的产品。虽然这听起来像是一个笑话,但马斯克在Twitter上宣布的一些疯狂产品最终证明是真的,而且他很少拿特斯拉的汽车特性开玩笑。图:马斯克说他不是在开玩笑。马斯克在推特上证实他不是在开玩笑。特斯拉计划于2020年在市场上推出新一代的飞行跑车,使其成为市场上增长最快的商用车和纯电动汽车。新款跑车已经预售,基本款50000美元的首付20万美元,创始人系列25万美元。
