一 | PHNOM PENH, Cambodia -- Commercial operations began Monday at Cambodia’s newest and biggest airport, designed to serve as an upgraded gateway to the country’s major tourist attraction, the centuries-old Angkor Wat temple complex in the northwestern province of Siem Reap.A Bangkok Airways flight from Thailand was the first to land, with 16 additional flights scheduled for the first day of operations at the Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport.The airport, which was built at a cost of about $1.1 billion on 700 hectares (1,730 acres) of land about 40 kilometers (25 miles) east of Angkor Wat, boasts a 3,600-meter (11,810-foot) long runway. Construction began in 2020 to replace the old airport, about 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) from the temple site, which is being retired in part because of fear that vibrations from frequent flights were damaging the temples’ foundations.The new airport can handle 7 million passengers a year, with plans to augment it to handle 12 million passengers annually from 2040. It was constructed under a 55-year build-operate-transfer (BOT) program between Cambodia and China. According to the Ministry of Tourism, Cambodia received some 3.5 million international tourists in the first eight months of 2023, while for the whole of 2019 — the last year before the coronavirus pandemic — it received some 6.6 million foreign visitors. Tourism is considered one of the main pillars supporting Cambodia’s economy.Deputy Prime Minister Vongsey Vissoth, who headed the ceremony marking the start of operations, said the new airport will be officially inaugurated on Nov. 16 by Prime Minister Hun Manet and top Chinese officials.Another Chinese-funded airport is being constructed at a cost of $1.5 billion to serve the capital Phnom Penh. The new Phnom Penh international airport, formally known as the Techo International Airport, is set on 2,600 hectares (6,425 acres) and scheduled for completion in 2024.。
在2026届奈史密斯篮球名人堂颁奖典礼前夕,前NBA球星斯塔德迈尔接受采访时,谈到了对当今联盟打法的看法。

二 | 他指出,如今太多球员追求华丽飘逸的球风,人人都想打后卫,热衷于在场上塑造个人人设、彰显气场。“每个人都想要在球场上塑造专属人设、彰显气场,一心追求看上去很酷。”
小斯认为,联盟正朝着这个方向发展,社交媒体在其中起到了推波助澜的作用。“大家总想拍出亮眼内容、博取关注,”他说,“但说到底,篮球的本质是竞争。是我和对手硬碰硬的较量,看谁能拿下胜利。希望联盟能尽快回归这种纯粹对抗的内核。”
作为以凶悍球风著称的七届全明星球员,小斯的这番表态也反映了他对现代篮球过度强调观赏性而忽视对抗性的担忧。在即将正式进入名人堂之际,他呼吁联盟回归篮球最本真的竞争精神。
