Tottenham vs Real Madrid Preview

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp is confident that his players can pull off a "miraculous" comeback against Real Madrid on Wednesday.

A ruthless 4-0 hammering in the Bernabeu last week left Tottenham facing a huge task to overcome Jose Mourinho's side and make the UEFA Champions League semi-finals. No team in the history of the competition has been able to overturn a four-goal margin from a first leg defeat, although three teams have managed it in other UEFA tournaments.
That said, those three teams were facing Borussia Monchengladbach, La Choux-de-Fonds, and Queens Park Rangers, and not team blessed with the world's best talent looking to conquer Europe for the 10th time.
Bookmakers rate Spurs' chances of making the semi-finals as long as 50-1, but Redknapp nonetheless cut a relaxed and optimistic figure on Tuesday.
"We are in a situation where everyone feels the tie is over but we know we are a good team and can play well here at White Hart Lane," Redknapp said.
"We know it will take a miracle but miracles can happen and we have to believe that we can give it our best shot tomorrow [Wednesday] and if we play very well, you never know what will happen.
"I went last year to see Juventus at Craven Cottage and Fulham were 3-1 down after the first leg and then went 1-0 down on the night early on.
"They came back and won the tie. It was one of the great games I've seen and shows that anything is possible. You never know with football.
"We have to turn in a good performance and see if we can win the game and we will see where it takes us from there. We will see how it develops."
Spurs came back from 3-0 down in the qualifying round against Young Boys to make the group stages and then almost pulled off a similar feat against Inter, where they fell one goal short of a 4-4 draw after Gareth Bale's superb second-half hat-trick.
And Real Madrid boss Mourinho insists he is not taking anything for granted.
"Miracles do happen in football," Mourinho said.
"That's why I say we have to respect Tottenham and we have to respect football because football sometimes can betray you and you cannot give them the chance of doing that.
"We are coming here to play seriously. People like Xabi (Alonso), and I know the mentality of English stadiums, their supporters and their teams. They will give everything.
"If I put myself in Harry's position, I wouldn't throw in the towel.
"I would do everything I could with my players to try to get the miracle."
To further prove that he and his side will not treat the game as a dead-rubber, Mourinho said he was not planning to rest any of the five players who are carrying yellow cards in Wednesday's game.

"I am going to pick the best team possible that I think is going to get the best result against Tottenham tomorrow [Wednesday] night," he said, meaning that Ronaldo, Di Maria and Sergio Ramos are likely to start despite being one card away from missing the first leg of a probable semi-final against Barcelona.(nspastar)

NBA: James stars as Heat seal second

The Miami Heat sealed second place in the Eastern Conference as LeBron James led them to a 98-90 win over the Atlanta Hawks.

James scored 34 points as the Heat held off the rallying Hawks in the fourth quarter to make sure of second spot, courtesy of the Boston Celtics' 95-94 overtime defeat in Washington.
Boston rested Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and Rajon Rondo with an eye on the play-offs, and they paid the price as John Wall's 24 points and nine rebounds led the Wizards to victory.
In the West, 23 points and 12 rebounds from Dirk Nowitzki helped the Dallas Mavericks to a 98-91 overtime win over the Houston Rockets, taking them half a game clear of the Los Angeles Lakers in second.
DJ Augustin was the star for the Charlotte Bobcats as they beat the New Jersey Nets 105-103.
Augustin had 19 points and 11 assists, but his most striking contribution was a jump shot with 1.1 seconds remaining to win a game which had been tied up by Sasha Vujacic's three-pointer moments earlier.
The Oklahoma City Thunder won their third fifth straight, using 32 and 30-point contributions from Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook respectively to see off the Sacramento Kings 120-112.
The Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Detroit Pistons 110-101 in a game which saw Ryan Hollins and Charlie Villanueva ejected, while Dwight Howard notched up 19 points and 13 rebounds on his return from suspension, helping the Orlando Magic to a 95-85 win over the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Utah Jazz beat the New Orleans Hornets 90-78, the Milwaukee Bucks were 93-86 victors over the Toronto Raptors, the Denver Nuggets secured fifth place in the West with a 134-111 win over the Golden State Warriors and the Phoenix Suns saw off the Minnesota Timberwolves 135-127 in overtime.(ESPNSTAR)

Fight-Masters: Muay Thai

I want to introduce a new FREE ONLINE FIGHT GAME. Photo realistic muaythai fighters- a lot of moves and attacks. For each character about 50 types of attacks. Very realistic animated characters. Three levels of artificial intelligence. FIGHT MASTERS is a 2D Fight game in which two martial art warriors stand in front of each other. Each warrior has to defeat his opponent. Each warrior has got an advanced combat system at their disposal. There are many different types of fighting techniques in the game such as punches with fists, elbows, knees, kicks, tricks, combinations and defensive techniques.

Instructions:

Cursor Right, Left a player moves forward and backward. The cursor up a player jumps, the cursor down a player bends. The key responsible for the block protects you also against the enemys blow. Two buttons are responsible for Punches-one for the left hand, and the other one for the right hand. The same situation with legs, one key is responsible for kicking with the left leg, the other with the right. Then there are the various keyboard combinations which give the warrior dozens of different fighting techniques. Each fighting technique has its advantages and disadvantages. Short-range punches are fast, but make poor damage. Long distance kicks inflict considerable damage, but they are much slower than short blows. Other moves are recommended in the melee, still others in fighting in the half distance. Each player must be able to adapt to the fight. The player has to be able to attack, but also to repel enemys attacks. The player can attack his opponent on all parts of the body. Starting from the head, the body ending with the feet.
