On May 17, Beijing time, the whistle for the second game of the CBA finals is about to sound, and tonight's referee is Garderi, an international referee from Indonesia, who will serve as the referee, which can be the first time in the history of the CBA! I don't know which side the blowing penalty will favor.
Then we have to mention the two Korean referees, Lee Kyung-hwan and Park Kyung-jin, who made quick and accurate decisions, especially for those hand movements and cylinder violations, which is really admirable. The performance of these two referees has brought the quality of the CBA's game to a new level.
The Indonesian referee Gardri, who had previously blown the whistle in the Chinese men's basketball team against Japan, lost the game in which the Chinese men's basketball team lost, and the referee's work caused a lot of controversy. Tonight, he once again stood on the court of the CBA, facing the strong dialogue between Liaoning and Xinjiang, and his every penalty could be a turning point in the game.
The introduction of foreign referees by the CBA this time is a big step, which is not only to improve the level of referees, but also to make the CBA more international and make the level of Chinese basketball to a higher level. We have to look forward to a wonderful matchup between Liaoning and Xinjiang, which represents a new starting point for Chinese basketball and indicates the future development direction of Chinese basketball. Let's wait and see!
