The second phase of the CBA regular season has all ended on January 28, in the second stage of the game, there have been too many bad behaviors on the CBA field, Weems elbowed Han Dejun, Hu Mingxuan continuously stepped on Zhao Jiwei, Guo Allen, Zeng Fanri mat sun Minghui, Du Runwang beat Zhao Yanhao's teeth and other behaviors caused dissatisfaction among fans. In the final match of the second stage, Guangsha and Beikong, Xu Zhonghao elbowed Liao Sanning, causing Liao Sanning's face to fracture, which caused strong condemnation from fans. Everyone is waiting for Yao Ming and the CBA official's follow-up penalty decision.
On the evening of January 30, Beijing time, the CBA official finally announced the punishment decision for Xu Zhonghao. Because Xu Zhonghao elbowed Liao Sanning in the game, causing Liao Sanning to be injured and violating the spirit of sportsmanship, the CBA decided to suspend him for three games and fine him 100,000 yuan. As soon as this decision was announced, it immediately caused a strong discussion among netizens, and many fans felt that the punishment for Xu Zhonghao was too light. Xu Zhonghao's evil deeds directly caused 4 fractures of the anterior wall, lateral wall, lateral wall and lower wall of The maxillary sinus on Liao Sanning's side, and congestion of the right maxillary sinus. Liao Sanning has now completed the operation and is entering the recovery period. This face fracture directly led to Liao Sanning's season reimbursement, and it is likely to have a serious impact on his future career.
The CBA's punishment of Xu Zhonghao is really very happy. It can also be seen from the slow motion of the video replay that Xu Zhonghao has an obvious elbow action when defending Liao Sanning's breakthrough, and this action is not a conventional defensive action. Not long before Xu Zhonghao elbowed Liao Sanning, Sun Minghui had clashed with Liao Sanning, which also could not help but remind people of Xu Zhonghao's anger for the team boss Sun Minghui, and there was a situation of retaliation.
The 31-year-old Xu Zhonghao has played in the CBA for 14 seasons and is a full-fledged veteran, who has been playing for the Bayi team before, and in the 2020-21 season, Xu Zhonghao joined the Guangsha team, but he is no longer brave. This season, Xu Zhonghao, as an important rotation player of Guangsha, averaged 19.1 minutes per game, only 6.4 points and 4 rebounds, compared to the lack of strength on the offensive end, Xu Zhonghao's performance on the defensive end was remarkable, averaging 1.2 blocks per game. With the help of Xu Zhonghao, Guangsha also ushered in an outbreak this season, and they are currently in third place in the league with a record of 22 wins and 6 losses, second only to Liaoning and Shanghai. In the second stage of the competition, Guangsha team has twice defeated the defending champion Guangdong team and is regarded as the favorite team for the overall championship this season.
I hope that this punishment can give Xu Zhonghao and all the players in the CBA a wake-up call, and while sparing no effort on the field, they must also remember to protect their opponents.
