【12人被捕的三種可能，兼尋果洲群島目擊者】

(Engish version below)

12港人失蹤一個月，音訊全無。家屬和律師們除了盡力確定他們如今身處何方，同樣重要的是想方法了解他們失蹤的經過。

根據各方消息，12人是在8月23日早上七點至九點多這段期間，一起於香港東面水域失蹤的。

郭卓堅引述的「目擊者」指，12人是於該日早上八點多九點，於香港水域內果洲群島東南面的「一尺排」（或稱「一尺石」）停船期間，被一艘高速駛至的白色中國海警船越境逮捕。

中國海警則指，12人是於當日早上九點多，於北緯21°54'00''，東經114°53'00''的中國水域毗鄰區被捕。

兩點相差約66公里，即35.6海浬。

先假設兩個講法都正確，有一個可能是中國海警先在香港水域內控制12人，再把他們帶到中國水域毗鄰區遊一圈，以掩飾越境執法的事實，再帶到深圳扣留。

但是，根據維基百科「中國海警」條目，近40艘中國海警船中，航速最快的是行25節的2901號，即時速46.3公里。就算用最高速航行，也要近個半小時才能行完66公里。如果按郭引述的「目擊者」說的時間地點，即海警和12人於早上九點仍在「一尺排」，則似乎不能如海警公布那樣，於九點多出現在所指的中國水域毗鄰區。

第二個可能是，中國海警在「一尺排」控制12人後，直接就帶回深圳，根本未有在所說的時間和地點駛到毗鄰區，提供資料只為轉移視線。

第三個可能是，郭引述的「目擊者」說謊，中國海警沒有越境在「一尺排」拉人，而是在中國水域及毗鄰區成功追截12人。

要向真相前進一步並非不可能，一係證明郭卓堅錯，一係證明中國海警錯。要證明郭卓堅錯很簡單，海事處只需公開8月23日早上果洲群島「一尺排」附近的雷達紀錄，指出並沒有他聲稱的船隻活動即可。這亦是家屬早前到警察總部報案的要求。

在此也呼籲目擊者和知情人士繼續報料。

[3 possibilities re: the arrest of 12 HK youths, looking for witnesses to the arrest near Ninepin Islands]

12 Hong Kong people disappeared a month ago and there has been no news since. In addition to trying their best to determine where they are now, the family members and lawyers are also importantly trying to understand the details of their disappearance.

According to various sources, the 12 people disappeared in Hong Kong’s eastern waters during the period between 7 am and 9 am on August 23.

A witness quoted by KWOK Cheuk-kin stated that the 12 people were arrested in Hong Kong waters south east of Ninepin Islands at "One Foot Row" also known as "One Foot Rock" after 8am and closer to 9am. A white Chinese Coast Guard boat approached at high speed crossing into Hong Kong waters to make the arrest.

According to the Chinese Coast Guard, 12 people were arrested in ​​Chinese waters adjacent to Hong Kong at 21°54'00'' north latitude and 114°53'00'' east longitude at around nine o'clock that morning.

The difference between the two points is about 66 kilometers or 35.6 nautical miles.

Assuming that both statements are correct, one possibility is that the Chinese Coast Guard first escorted the 12 people from Hong Kong waters to the adjacent area in ​​Chinese waters in order to conceal the fact that they were enforcing the law across the border, and then they were taken to Shenzhen for detention.

However, according to the Wikipedia "China Coast Guard" entry, among the nearly 40 Chinese Coast Guard ships, the fastest is No. 2901 with 25 knots or 46.3 km/h. Even at the highest speed, it would take nearly half an hour to cover 66 kilometers. If according to the time and place stated by the "witnesses" cited by Mr KWOK, that is, the maritime police and 12 people were still in the "One-Foot Rock" at nine o'clock in the morning, it seems that they cannot have been at the point stated by the Chinese Coast Guard in Chinese Waters at 9am.

The second possibility is that after detaining the 12 people at "One-Foot Row" the Chinese Coast Guard brought them back directly to Shenzhen. They did not go to the claimed adjacent area in Chinese waters and this formation was provided to divert attention.

The third possibility is that the witnesses cited by KWOK lied and the Chinese Coast Guard did not cross the border to arrest the people near "One-Foot Row" but successfully pursued and caught the 12 people in Chinese waters.

It is not impossible to find the truth. One possibility proves that KWOK Cheuk-kin is wrong and the other proves that China Coast Guard is wrong. To prove KWOK Cheuk-kin is wrong is simple, the Marine Department only needs to publish the radar records near "One-Foot Row" off the Ninepin Islands on the morning of August 23, stating that there was no vessel activity as he claimed. This was also the request of the family when they reported to the Police Headquarters earlier.

I also call on witnesses and people familiar with the matter to come forward.

In this short clip from the BJJ room we see a beautiful explosive jumping guard pass finished with a rare nasty submission called the Gogoplata where you choke your opponent with your foot.

A few months ago, Hong Kong-ers are talking about which mask best guards us from teargas, after 7 months, we are still discussing about mask, but now about which one can guard us against a new pneumonia originating from Wuhan, China.

The deadly new coronavirus outbreak remind us of SARS in 2003, started in the Chinese city of Wuhan, and has entered the stage of transmission among families and hospital, it is a full-blown community epidemic. We are all terrified because this new virus reminds us of how the Chinese government covered up the severity of SARS (Severe acute respiratory syndrome) which infected 8,098 people and took away 774 lives across 30 countries in 2003.

In 2003, the outbreak of SARS was traced to the selling of wild animal, like snakes, civet cats and bats in wet markets in China’s Southern Guangdong province, and the first patient was infected after preparing for a meal of chicken, cat and snake, and later infected others. During the initial stages of the outbreak, the Chinese government concealed information from the public, limiting mitigation efforts and exacerbating the spread of SARS.

Chinese government did not notified the WHO of SARS until February 2003, allowing it to flourish and spread to Hong Kong, infecting 1,755 people and took away 299 lives. I was just a kid at the time, I remember school was cancelled and I was staring at the news everyday for updates on infection and death numbers, I can still recall how desperate we were.

Similar to SARS, the Huanan Seafood Market, which sells meat is sold alongside live animals like dogs, hares, and civets, in Wuhan is thought to be the starting point for the virus outbreak. A week earlier, Chinese government claimed the outbreak of the Wuhan-virus was “preventable and controllable” and this week it was forced to admit that the virus was able to spread person-to-person and there are cases of infection were reported by people who never set foot in Wuhan. However, Chinese were being arrested by authorities and were accused of spreading rumours about the Wuhan-virus, despite it was officially acknowledged.

More worryingly, the Chinese authorities have decided to shut down outbound transportation from Wuhan on Thursday morning, citizens of Wuhan were rushing to leave the city by trains or airplanes to go to other cities or countries despite having fever or other symptoms of pneumonia, suggesting a massive outbreak is imminent.

There are cases of Wuhan-virus infection reported in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, the US and France, scientists suspected that there may be 1,000 to 2,300 actual infections since December 2019, which are significantly higher than those 550 confirmed cases released by Chinese government so far. It is very likely that the Chinese government attempts to cover up the Wuhan-virus. It is the most irresponsible thing a government can do to its people and other states in the world. Lives of citizens and medical personnel are at stake because of the Chinese government’s attempt to cover up the severity of the virus, instead of protecting them.

It worries me to see this highly contagious Wuhan-virus have infected people in Europe, and I fear there will be more cases after Lunar New Year as many Chinese students will travel back to Europe from China after the holidays, increasing the risk of the virus being transmitted into Europe.

To protect yourself and your community from this epidemic, please wear a mask in public. The last thing I’d like to see is another similar outbreak of disease like SARS in anywhere in the world.

After Kobe Bryant lost his shooting touch and Shaquille O'Neal was lost to fouls, Robert Horry made sure the Los Angeles Lakers did not lose the game.

Horry scored seven clutch points in the final minute as the Lakers again fought off the Philadelphia 76ers, 96-91, to take a 2-1 lead in the NBA Finals.

The Lakers showed the 76ers a little bit of the toughness that has made them NBA champions. With Bryant struggling and O'Neal on the bench, they had every reason to give in to another frenetic rally by the Sixers.

But Horry would not let them. A member of the Houston Rockets title teams of 1994-95, he scored 12 of his playoff-high 15 points in the fourth quarter and saved his best for last.

"People always say that about me -- that in June, you come out and that's the only time you play," Horry said. "I guess that's either a good thing or a bad thing."

"People who watch this team know it's no surprise," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. "That's why he plays fourth quarters for us, is his ability to defend and also make key shots. He was big tonight."

With O'Neal off the floor, Philadelphia went to a funky five-guard lineup and reserve Kevin Ollie's follow shot -- his only basket of the game -- became a three-point play that made it 89-88 with 1:02 remaining.

The Sixers applied pressure and the ball went to the left corner to Horry, who at 6-10 was the tallest player on the court. He drilled the shot for a 92-88 advantage with 47 seconds to go.

"That's a rhythm shot for me, something I practice all the time," Horry said. "I said, 'Hey, I get my feet set, I'm shooting this.' They got a small lineup. I know other guys can got to the boards, get the rebound."

Allen Iverson, who had 35 points, 12 rebounds and finally got back to the free-throw line, was fouled behind the arc and made all three shots to again make it a one-point game. The Sixers again pressured the ball but Horry responded with two free throws with 21 seconds left.

"We decided to try to steal and foul and hope that somebody missed a free throw," Sixers coach Larry Brown said. "It didn't happen."

Iverson missed a tough driving layup as he was harassed by Horry and Bryant. A 44 percent free-throw shooter in the postseason, Horry again was fouled and made two more to seal it with 9.5 seconds to play.

"We had a chance to win," said Iverson, who made just 12-of-30 shots but 10-of-13 free throws. "We were right there. ... We kept fighting, got back into the game and we just weren't able to pull it off."

Bryant scored 32 points but made just 3-of-14 shots after halftime. O'Neal added 30 and 12 rebounds but had foul trouble in the second half, exiting with 2:21 to go. But Philadelphia could not overtake Los Angeles and gave back the home court it stole in Game One.

"All we're trying to do is just execute and no matter if the bounces go our way or the call doesn't go our way, we don't try to get down too much," Bryant said. "We try to play through it as much as we possibly can."

"We played through everything," O'Neal said. "We persevered and got a tough Game Three."

Regardless of which team jumps out to an early lead, it does not seem to matter. Each game has come down to the final two minutes and has been decided by a clutch 3-pointer -- the last two by the defending champion Lakers, who have met the challenge this series has become.

"We have players that make critical plays," said Jackson. "We're very pleased with the way we respond to pressure and the way we respond to difficult things. There's no playoffs that doesn't have its critical moments. Most games have them."

"Game One, we made some shots when we needed them down the stretch," Brown said. "Game Two, (Derek) Fisher and (Brian) Shaw made big shots. Tonight, Horry makes them. That's the difference in the series."

Game Four is here Wednesday. The Sixers have now trailed 2-1 in three straight series.

"You don't want to think about going down another game," Iverson said. "You never think that."

Dikembe Mutombo collected 23 points and 12 rebounds and Eric Snow scored 14 points for Philadelphia, which never led in the final 38 minutes.

The Lakers led 73-66 entering the fourth quarter but the whistle seemed to sound in favor of the Sixers thereafter. Iverson took just one free throw in the first three quarters and 12 in the final period. Meanwhile, O'Neal took nine foul shots in the first half and none the rest of the way.

"That changed the game," Brown said. "That allowed us to set our defense and gave us a chance to win."

Horry had a 3-pointer and a slam over Mutombo early in the period. Two free throws by Bryant gave Los Angeles an 82-73 advantage with 7:23 to go.

Iverson made a 3-pointer and O'Neal picked up his fifth foul to start the inevitable late-game push by the Sixers. Iverson's two free throws made it 86-84 with 2:47 left and O'Neal fouled out 26 seconds later trying to plow past Mutombo.

"I didn't think the best defensive player in the game would be flopping like he did," O'Neal said. "That's a shame that the referees buy into that. I wish he'd stand up and play me like a man instead of flopping and crying every time I back him down."

"He fouled out, I thought we had a chance to win the ballgame," Sixers forward Tyrone Hill said.

But Philadelphia could not sustain the momentum. Iverson and Rick Fox traded a free throw apiece and Raja Bell could not handle a pass from Iverson underneath. Bryant made a floater in the lane for an 89-85 lead with 1:17 remaining.

Bryant made 13-of-30 shots and O'Neal hit 11-of-20. The Lakers shot 47 percent (35-of-75) and held the Sixers to 41 percent (33-of-80).

Having jumped from Lower Merion High School here to the NBA five years ago, Bryant was booed the loudest during the pregame introductions. Derisive chants of "Kobe (stinks)!" began in the opening 15 seconds.

The first quarter belonged to O'Neal, who scored 14 points and left his problems at the line in LA, making 6-of-7. Iverson scored 10 and midway through the period thrilled the First Union Center when he beat a diving O'Neal to a loose ball and nimbly skipped over the 330-pound giant with a dribble.

Matt Geiger's jumper beat the buzzer and gave the Sixers a 25-25 tie before Bryant began proving the crowd wrong. With O'Neal taking a rest, he made five straight jumpers to give the Lakers a 40-30 lead, outclassing rookie Raja Bell.

"He got cooking early tonight," Bell admitted. "He started feeling it and once you let somebody with that much talent start feeling it, it's hard to control him."

Both McKie and Snow took turns on Bryant without much success. He spun inside for a layup, then drilled a 20-footer over McKie with 4:02 to go, keeping the lead at double digits.

"My teammates set good picks for me, got me open, I got easy looks at the basket," Bryant said. "It was a matter of knocking them down."

The Lakers led by as many as 13 points before settling for a 55-45 halftime advantage as Bryant and O'Neal combined for 38 points. Los Angeles shot 54 percent (21-of-39).

As he did in the second half of Game One and the first half of Game Two, Iverson did not go to the line. He finally took a technical foul shot in the third quarter, when Bryant cooled considerably and O'Neal had to sit with his fourth foul.

The Sixers clamped down on defense and rode Mutombo's offense to twice get within five points, but Bryant beat the shot clock with a 22-foot jumper late in the period.

His emotion was raw. His words were real. He was who he is.

What else would you expect from Allen Iverson, especially on the night he appeared at The Center for the first time since being named a member of the 2016 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame class?

“It brings back a lot of memories,” said Iverson of standing in the building where he played all of his home games during a Sixers career that spanned parts of 12 seasons. “It gives me chill bumps. This is me. This is my environment. This place made me a household name. This is the place that little kids fell in love with me.”

On Monday morning in Houston, Iverson was formally elected to the Hall of Fame. His enshrinement will be made official in Springfield, Massachusetts on Friday, September 9th. Shaquille O’Neal, Yao Ming, Tom Izzo, and Sheryl Swoopes are among the other inductees.

Friday, amidst some tears and laughs, Iverson spoke from the heart about this latest, and arguably most distinguished, individual honor. Because Iverson tells it so well, so passionately, and so deeply, the main objective of this article is to simply provide context to many of the Answer’s comments from Friday, and let them stand as they were delivered during a 20-minute press conference.

“This is a tribute to everybody that helped me accomplish it,” Iverson said. “My family, my friends, my fans, everybody that stuck with me through my ups and downs. The ride definitely wasn’t perfect. I made a whole bunch of mistakes just like people make. But people look at us like we’re not human, and don’t understand that we bleed just like them, and we have feeling, just like everybody else.”

At one point on Friday, Iverson got choked up when talking about the pride he feels when family and friends express how proud they are of him.

“I want so much for the people that stuck with me through the whole time, I want them to feel good about it. I want them to feel like they’re Hall of Famers. I want everybody that had an impact on my life, and that had an impact on me trying to get to this goal right here, I want them to feel good about it. Everybody that was with me throughout the ride, I want them to be proud of themselves for helping me get to such a high level.”

The highlights and achievements that the six-foot guard from Georgetown racked up while playing the game of basketball are plentiful, and well documented. It would be unrealistic and unjust to attempt to recap them all in a single article.

Iverson, however, did point to one particular ritual that stood out to him the most among all of the memorable experiences he created and lived through while on the court, or “dance floor,” as he put it, in Philadelphia.

“Probably when I put my hand up to my ear, the response that I got from doing it,” Iverson said. “I knew how those people on that side of the court would respond, and that was one of the like greatest moments for me that sent chills all through my body, because I knew that they felt like I was feeling. If not more, they were excited like I was. That’s one of the greatest moments as far as that court, but just that court period. In Philadelphia, period. Just me giving everything I had night in and night out to those fans, these fans, because I know they were there supporting me for 48 minutes.”

Such interplay exemplified the seemingly unshakable, entirely natural bond that was built, and continues to exist, between Iverson and the city.

“It’s a relationship that we might not ever see again, besides with [Michael Jordan], and his fans in Chicago,” said Iverson, a native of Virginia Beach. “It’s a long lasting relationship. We connect. They love me because I gave everything I had, and they honor that, and I love them for what they gave me. It will never be nothing like the relationship like I have with the fans in Philadelphia. I don’t think it’s possible. I don’t think it will happen.”

In addition to repeatedly stressing his appreciation for supporters and fans throughout Friday’s media gathering, Iverson wove another prominent theme into his remarks. He believes he has undergone substantial personal growth and development.

One NBA player lords over LeBron James.


Carmelo Anthony rules Cleveland's hoops King.

"I know he hates losing to me," Anthony said with a laugh.

Anthony scored 27 points, All-Star sidekick Allen Iverson added 25 and the Denver Nuggets rolled to a 113-83 win Sunday night over the injury-depleted Cavaliers.

Anthony, who got to rest in the fourth quarter, improved to 8-2 in his pro career against good friend James, who scored 30 points -- in three quarters -- but got little help from a Cleveland team missing four key players, including two starters.

Though shorthanded, the Cavs have been able to get by playing good defense and came in 16-5 since Dec. 25. But from the opening tip on they didn't do nearly enough to slow the Nuggets, who handed Cleveland its worst home loss since April 5, 2005.

Denver led by 11 points after one quarter, 18 at halftime and pushed its advantage to 26 by the end of the third. At the end of that period, James stormed off the court, took a seat at the far end of Cleveland's bench and didn't take part in coach Mike Brown's huddle before the fourth quarter began.

"It was definitely frustrating," James said. "We know we can play better. It was one game. That's something we can fix."

As a displeased James sat alone on the bench and stared straight ahead, Cavaliers guard Damon Jones let his teammates know that their performance was unacceptable by yelling at all of them.

"I just think something had to be said at that point," Jones said. "No big thing."

Although he was looking in James' direction, Jones said his comments were intended for everyone wearing white jerseys.

"In those situations you have to band together as a team. I wasn't singling anybody out," Jones said. "Everybody, including myself, we have to find ways to fight through situations like that."

James didn't play in the fourth quarter when the Cavs fell behind by 37 and played all their reserves.

Anthony, coming off a 49-point performance in a win against Washington, went 11-of-19 from the floor and added eight rebounds in 32 minutes. He, too, spent the fourth quarter on the sideline, savoring Denver's fifth straight win over Cleveland.

"It was one of the most complete games we've had," Anthony said. "We didn't come in here expecting a blowout, but that's what happened."

Iverson added 13 assists and Marcus Camby 17 rebounds for Denver, which shot 63 percent in the first quarter.

"We jumped on them from the beginning," Iverson said. "We took advantage of the shots they were missing. We were able to do everything right on both ends of the floor."

The Cavaliers were again a shell of themselves as injuries continued to plague the Eastern Conference champions.

Drew Gooden missed his third game in a row with a strained right groin and Daniel Gibson, the team's top long-range shooter, sat out his second straight because of a strained hamstring. On top of that, Cleveland didn't have forward Anderson Varejao (sprained ankle) or swingman Sasha Pavlovic (sprained foot).

Also, Jones went to the locker room in the fourth quarter with a sprained ankle and center Zydrunas Ilgauskas was also forced to spend the final 12 minutes getting treatment for back spasms.

The Cavs, however, were hurting long before that.

Denver led 63-45 at halftime and quickly upped its lead to 23 after Iverson opened the third quarter with a 3-pointer and Kenyon Martin scored inside. James helped trim Denver's lead to 15, but Iverson and Anthony never relaxed and the Nuggets pushed their lead to 90-64 entering the fourth.

The Nuggets beat the Cavs 122-100 earlier this season.

"It's disappointing they whooped our behinds twice like this," Cavs coach Mike Brown said. "I don't think we can look in the mirror and say we fought tonight."

Denver coach George Karl took his team's lopsided win in stride, knowing the Cavaliers weren't at full strength.

"They're so banged up and beat up," he said. "They couldn't make a shot and we had an easier game because we did some good things. It was one of those games where can go home and say we played, but they were shorthanded too."

Game notes
James was pleased Anthony was named a starter for next weekend's All-Star Game, the first time Denver's forward has gotten the nod. "People realize he's one of the best players in our league, definitely one of the best scorers," James said. "It took five years to finally get the opportunity." ... Nuggets big man Steven Hunter missed his second straight game with a sore right knee. ... Gibson's injury could keep him out of next weekend's All-Star activities in New Orleans. He's scheduled to play in the rookie-sophomore challenge and 3-point shootout. ... Pavlovic, who could miss two months, is scheduled to have a cast removed in the next few days. "Finally," he said. "I'm sick of it."
