This time, let's talk about stepping on the feet

Wave after wave, wave after wave. The controversy over the Liao-Guangdong War has not yet ended, and yesterday's battle between Guangdong and Guangsha was once again controversial. In particular, Zeng Fanri's foul on Sun Minghui's foot has triggered a fierce discussion. The continuous occurrence of "stepping feet" incidents in a short period of time has sent the Guangdong team to the cusp of the storm. So today, I'm going to talk to you about "stepping feet." It should be noted that the logic of CBA penalties is results-oriented. Simply put, the referee does not judge your motivation and only uses the result as a basis. Therefore, whether it was Hu Mingxuan's foul on Zhao Jiwei or Zeng Fanri's foul on Sun Minghui, the referee sentenced a "foul in violation of physical fitness". Indeed, it is difficult for the outside world to rely on a single action to guess whether a player is "deliberate". This gives the outside world a lot of room for discussion. So how do I tell if a player's "stepping" behavior is intentional?

First of all, I will see whether his actions are "reasonable", for example, in my article "Risking Death to Talk About the Controversy of the Liao-Guangdong War", I believe that Hu Mingxuan's actions are not necessarily intentional. The basis is that hu Mingxuan's foot position is within the three-point line when defending the opponent's three-point shot. That is to say, his movements are "reasonable" to a certain extent, because under the normal shooting posture, there is a high probability that he will not fall into the three-point line. In training, many coaches will ask players to "step on the three-point line to defend", so I said that Hu Mingxuan's actions come more from habits. In fact, afterwards, I also asked the Liaoning team members what they thought of this action, and the feedback was that it didn't feel like it was intentional.

Of course, with the development of basketball, many players' shooting habits will be different, and sometimes they may take a small step forward. So I said that Hu Mingxuan had a better choice, and he didn't do that, and the better choice was to put his feet away.

Looking at yesterday's heavy day's movements, when he defended Sun Minghui's three-point shot, his foot clearly took a big step outside the three-point line. In my opinion, this is the typical "unreasonable". Therefore, I think that Zeng Fanri's behavior is fundamentally different from Hu Mingxuan's. Sun Minghui's anger can be understood.

In fact, after yesterday's tumultuous foul, even the media and fans in Guangdong could not accept it, and I saw many people criticize him on the Internet. A similar example is the most famous case in the history of "stepping on the foot", Pachulia's foul on Leonard. His foot is obviously outside the three-point line, and it is most likely to cause harm to the opponent. You know, such a high-level athlete has a strong ability to control the body. They are fully capable of controlling where they stand. Trying to use only "clumsiness" to prevaricate obviously does not make sense. Of course, if you say they can't control their bodies under pressure or physical decline, then I have nothing to say. After all, the real idea, only they themselves know. Another basis is motivation, which is why he "put his feet on the foot". Pachulia's motivation is clear, a key playoff game. Judging from the results, this action does objectively affect the entire war situation, and even the direction of the NBA in the next few years. Yesterday, Guangdong was led by 20 points by Guangsha, and Zeng Fanri was obviously a bit "losing the eye". Finally, I hope the CBA should take similar behavior seriously. If it is once, it can be said to be accidental. But if it happens continuously, if the alliance does not stop it, it will only promote such a trend. At that time, only the league or even the national team will be affected.
