On January 16, Beijing time, the CBA League officially announced a new notice, which is a notice about the cancellation of technical fouls by Guangdong men's basketball coach Du Feng.
The official document reads: "Du Feng believed that he did not act excessively when communicating with the technical representative, and only stomped his foot when he returned to the team seat area after the communication, and the referee mistakenly believed that he had kicked the billboard." After the CBA League Referee Office organized an expert reconsideration team to review, Du Feng did not make the act of kicking the billboard, the referee declared Du Feng's technical foul incorrect, and Du Feng's appeal was successful. ”
The specific situation at that time was: when there were 6 minutes and 18 seconds left in the second quarter of the Guangdong and Guangsha matches, Du Feng walked to the recording desk to communicate with the technical representative about what happened on the field in the previous round, and then du Feng was preparing to return to the team, in which Du Feng had a stomping behavior that produced a sound, similar to the sound of kicking on some object. Because the referee at the time turned his back on the record desk, after hearing this sound, the other first referee clearly told the referee: "Du Feng kicked the billboard." So the referee then awarded Du Feng a technical foul for kicking a billboard, which was a mistake.
After the game, Du Feng appealed, and after a re-investigation by the league's official, the penalty for Du Feng's technical foul was canceled at that time. It is worth mentioning that although the technical foul was cancelled, the established result of the game at that time was not changed.
Judging from the whole incident, Du Feng only reasonably defended his own interests, after all, he did not play the billboard at that time, and the referee on duty heard it wrong. After the cancellation of a technical foul, according to the league regulations, if the appeal is successful, the number of technical fouls will not accumulate in the "TUD Cumulative Penalty", but the penalty rules and results that have been executed in the pro game will not be changed.
Fortunately, the result of the match between Guangdong and Guangsha was a big victory for Guangsha, and a wrong penalty will not have a big impact on the final established result, otherwise the CBA referee will cause controversy. Guangdong men's basketball team has been frequently blown for corporal fouls and technical fouls in recent games, leaving aside objective factors, the overall mental instability of the Guangdong team is also one of the factors, and it is necessary to adjust as soon as possible and strive to get back on track as soon as possible.
