SHENZHEN， China， Oct. 2 (Xinhua) -- Guangdong has gained a lot from a pre-season game against CSKA during the EuroLeague China Tour this week.

The eight-time Chinese basketball champion has found a star player in the 20-year-old Zhao Rui and raised its confidence to take on the best in the new CBA season.

Zhao， playing his first season with the team， scored a team-high 19 point in front of maybe the best defensive line in Europe. With Yi Jianlian leaving the team to join the Los Angeles Lakers， Guangdong is expecting Zhao to step up.

""Zhao is a smart player，"" said Guangdong head coach Du Feng. ""Sometimes he might be a little unstable but he can really do a lot of things.""

Du said the team has learned a lot from its 101-75 loss to the EuroLeague champion.

Guangdong had been leading for most of the first period before CSKA needed quite a fight to get the win， with Milos Teodosic on court for 27 minutes. Both teams delivered high-level performances which excited the crowd time and time again.

""It's actually a victory for us， though we are 26 points behind on the scoreboard，"" Du said. ""You don't often have chance to challenge a world-class team such as CSKA， and our players learned a lot.""

Du himself has been learning from European basketball. He went to Europe months ago to watch the EuroLeague Final Four games， and also took part in the European coach clinic.

Guangdong has acquired former NBA All-Star Carlos Boozer in the new season， and the team is ready to fight for its ninth CBA title.

EuroLeague China Tour ended with two victories for CSKA， but the influence in China is far beyond the results.

The games attracted generous coverage by CCTV， Tencent and LeTV， the three main sports broadcasters in China. EuroLeague China also scheduled a series of social activities and a basketball coach clinic.

""It's very important for us to develop our league together with CBA，"" said EuroLeague CEO Jordi Bertomeu.

BERLIN Ignazio Abate Jersey , June 23 (Xinhua) -- The convictions of thousands of individuals prosecuted for their homosexuality in Germany were rescinded in a unanimous vote by the Federal Parliament (Bundestag) on Thursday evening.

The German Federal Council (Bundesrat), the second chamber of parliament in which the country's 16 states are represented, is expected to approve of the law shortly as a final step towards its ratification.

Paragraph 175 of the German Criminal Code prohibited sexual relations between men before it was softened in 1969 and finally abolished in 1994.

According to estimates Hakan Calhanoglu Jersey , 64,000 individuals were prosecuted under paragraph 175 but it remains unclear exactly how many thereof were still alive by the time of Thursday's decision.

The victims of justice are each to receive a lump sum of 3,000 euros Gustavo Gomez Jersey , as well as 1,500 euros for each year of prison time as financial compensation.

The Federal Ministry of Justice expects to receive around 5,000 requests for compensation.

The German Association of Lesbians and Gays (LSVD) described the legislation as a ""historic first step towards the rehabilitation of victims of paragraph 175"" but also lamented that some issues were left unsolved.

The LSVD criticised the level of financial compensation as too low Gianluigi Donnarumma Jersey , as it failed to make up for loss of income experienced by convicts who consequently lost jobs and pension entitlements.

Furthermore, the law was changed at the last minute, under pressure from the conservative CDUCSU fraction in parliament Giacomo Bonaventura Jersey , to raise the age limit for those involved in homosexual relations who would be rehabilitated to 16 years at the time of the conviction.

The LSVD described this circumstance as ""pure discrimination"" as it legally enshrined a discrepancy in the age of consent between heterosexuals and homosexuals.

The age of consent for same-sex couples in Germany is 14.

Opposition parties and the SPD voiced similar concerns, with parliamentarian Karl-Heinz Brunner (SPD) calling the amendment to the original bill a ""new injustice.""

Nonetheless, Helmut Metzner Gabriel Paletta Jersey , director of the LSVD, acknowledged that progress had been made towards ""giving some victims of state prosecution their dignity back after years of ignorance.""
