On April 20, the CBA Finals G1 will kick off. Yesterday, the Liaoning team officially released a pre-war poster, the picture content in the poster is thought-provoking, next to the background slogan of "loyal to what you love", a hand wrapped in gauze holds a basketball, and the gauze is written on it with the names of players of various teams who have been seriously injured this season, including Hu Jinqiu and Zhao Yanhao, who were seriously injured in the semifinals. The poster presented before the finals was full of inspiration and caution, which looked really moving...
In the CBA's playoffs this season, the on-field competition scene is fierce. Especially after reaching the semi-finals, its tragic scenes have reached an incomparable point. Liaoyue semi-final 3 games, Zhou Peng, Han Dejun has been injured, Ledo after the comeback of the injury again, and Guangsha and Shanghai semi-final play is even more tragic, G1 Liu Zheng injured season reimbursement, G2 Hu Jinqiu spleen rupture season reimbursement, G3 Zhao Yanhao intracranial hemorrhage season reimbursement, Guo Haowen directly injured in the last quarter, Luo Hanchen, who returned from injury, sprained his ankle, and Kelan Baike limped to finish the game...
In the CBA semi-game, at least 9 core players from 4 teams were injured, including serious injuries such as Hu Jinqiu and Zhao Yanhao, which was unprecedented in its severity. So, what is the cause of the large-scale injury of the player, the author believes that there are 3 reasons, which directly lead to the occurrence of the above situation.
First, the strength of the two sides is too close
Unlike any previous season, the strength of CBA teams this season is very close, and the top 5 teams in the regular season have won or lost about 1-3 games, and some even have serial sets. The strength of the 4 teams that entered the semifinals was even more between Bo Zhong. Of the six semi-final matches, except for a few matches, most of them were fought until the last 2 minutes. And such a glued game has formed a situation in which the two teams are "dead" on the field. With both sides fighting for the best of their ability to win, the risk of uncontrollable on the field increases dramatically. In the case of a complete "killing red eye", the probability of player injury will be greatly improved...
Second, the schedule is too dense
In the past season, the CBA has a relatively reasonable schedule after entering the playoffs. This season, due to the severe epidemic prevention situation, the regular season has shrunk to 38 games, and after entering the playoffs, CBA companies hope to fully compete as soon as possible. As soon as the 12-in-8 playoffs were completed, they soon entered the quarterfinals, and the semi-finals were played "back-to-back" until the semi-finals were full of injured soldiers, and the CBA company had no choice but to postpone the finals by 1 day. Obviously, the intensive schedule "continuous rotation" has seriously exhausted the physical strength of many team veterans. In the semi-finals of Liaoning and Guangdong, several "old comrades" of the Guangdong team could not move at all. The serious overdraft of physical strength has greatly increased the risk of injury of players, and accidental injuries like Zhou Peng's are typical examples...
3, the referee's penalty scale is too loose
I have to admit that after entering the CBA semifinals, in order to maintain the excitement of the game and the balance of strength between the two sides on the field, the scale of punishment is significantly more relaxed than in the regular season in terms of some physical confrontation and contact. Many injured defensive actions should have been upgraded through video replays, but the referees mostly fell from light. In fact, such a practice is to a certain extent "aiding and abetting", some bad players have become more fearless on the field, which has led to more injuries and completely imbalanced the balance of the game...
The CBA Finals are on the verge of breaking new ground! The semi-final tragedy cannot be repeated, and I really don't want to see any players injured again!
