SHANGHAI (Reuters) – Alibaba’s supermarket chain Freshippo said on Sunday it was adding more couriers to meet high demand in Shanghai but this was not yet catching up with the rising needs of locked-down residents as the city battles a surge in COVID-19 cases. Shen Li, a vice president at Alibaba Group’s Freshippo, told reporters on Sunday that while the company’s delivery capacity had recovered to about 60-70% of pre-outbreak levels as more couriers were allowed back on the roads, many… Source link

BROOKLYN — The murmurs grew from whispers, then to a dull roar as the obvious turned to reality, the chants turning into taunts at Barclays Center. “Let’s go Celtics.” Forty-eight minutes remain between the Brooklyn Nets meeting another premature end to what was expected to be a championship season, following a borderline soulless performance against the Boston Celtics.

And Larry Holmes and Lennox Lewis and Rocky Marciano and Jack Johnson and Jack Dempsey and Joe Louis and Evander Holyfield and Riddick Bowe and Vitali Klitschko and Wladimir Klitschko and Joe Frazier and Mike Tyson and… Source link

Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert sometimes eat lunch together, and they sometimes save the Utah Jazz‘s season together. After a season marked by whispers of discord between the Jazz’s two stars, the pair connected for a game-winning alley-oop in a 100-99 win over the Dallas Mavericks in Game 4 of their first-round series. The series is now tied 2-2. The Jazz appeared on the verge of a 3-1 series hole in the final minute of the game when Mavericks star Luka Doncic, making a return from a calf… Source link

If Tyson Fury follows through on his intention to retire, the final punch of his career may wind up being his best. Fury hit an oncoming Dillian Whyte with a stiff jab and immediately followed it with a blazing right uppercut. The right landed on the point of the chin and Whyte was immediately out cold, doing a dead fall backward. He managed to get up but staggered into the corner and referee Mark Lyson waved it off at 2:59 of the sixth round in front of a deliriously happy crowd of 94,000… Source link

Kyiv prepared on Saturday for its first wartime visit from two top U.S. officials, as Ukraine accused Russia of killing six people in a strike on Odessa that all but buried hopes of a truce for Orthodox Easter.  The Sunday visit by Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin will come at a symbolic moment — on the day the war enters its third month — and with fierce battles continuing in the country’s east.
