Yao Ming finally took action against Yang Hongfeng, and the No. 39 referee left the CBA, and Guo Allen Fogg was deeply affected. The 2021-2022 CBA season officially came to an end, and finally Liaoning won the team's second championship trophy without dispute, and then the teams began to take a planned vacation and then prepare for the next season, while some international players are about to follow Du Feng to the Asian Cup in June. In addition, there have been some changes in CBA law enforcement, and the famous yang Hongfeng has to leave the CBA arena, which is another retired referee after Yao Ming's drastic move.
After Yao Ming took office, he implemented a series of measures to improve the spectacle and competitiveness of the CBA League, and also stipulated the latest retirement age in terms of refereeing. That is, referees who have reached the age of 50 must retire, while referees at the international level can be postponed to 55 years old. Yang Hongfeng is just 50 years old this year, although he is also an international referee, but according to insiders, after his extension request was submitted to Yao Ming, Yao Ming refused, which means that he will not appear in the CBA next season.
After the retirement of the famous Yang Maogong and Qiao Longsheng, people like Yan Jun, Wang Mei, Duan Zhu and Yang Hongfeng became popular referees in the CBA League, but yang Hongfeng blew a total of 24 regular season games in the regular season this season, and even did not enter the top ten in the ranking of the entire referee, which may be a signal that he is about to retire. However, considering the law of the league with the old and the new, Yang Hongfeng still blew off this season's finals, but his several major controversies are still vivid, and even Guo Allen and Fogg are deeply affected, which makes Liaoning fans very dissatisfied.
Regarding Guo Allen's blowing penalty, the situation at that time was against the Sichuan team in the regular season, had a relatively large physical contact between Haddadi and Guo Allen under the basket, and even Haddadi hit Guo Allen's face many times, referee Yang Hongfeng turned a blind eye, and finally Guo Allen couldn't bear to shoot directly at Yang Hongfeng, and the result was that Guo Allen was fined 5,000 for technical fouls. And one of Fogg's blow penalties occurred during the finals, Fogg defended the Guangsha team permission, when Fogg only reminded the referee to take a step, perhaps the sound was too loud, Yang Hongfeng directly moved to Fogg, and immediately blew Fogg's technical foul, making Fogg very depressed.
And this season Yang Hongfeng's more bizarre blow penalty is about the expulsion of Zhejiang team coach Liu Weiwei and general manager Fang Jun, when Fang Jun of Zhejiang De match said some words about the referee's partiality on the sidelines, Yang Hongfeng actually directly expelled him from the game, and after the game, Yao Ming added Fang Jun's ban punishment, and Yang Hongfeng, who had a blowing penalty controversy on the field, was quite biased and unscathed, and Yang Hongfeng's words of "looking up and not looking down" became his famous words.
However, Yang Hongfeng's overall blowing penalty is fair and just but also quite severe, and he sometimes has zero tolerance for shouting and shouting at some players, so Yao Ming does not even dare to arrange for him to blow too many games. However, now that he wears the number 39, he is finally retiring, and fans will not see him blow the Liaoning team in the future. According to reports, Yang Hongfeng will not leave basketball, and his next step is expected to enter the referee committee to continue to play his role, after all, some young referees still need guidance.
Some fans said that Yang Hongfeng's retirement was a huge loss to Chinese basketball, and some fans applauded his retirement, but since he could stand on the finals stage and blow penalties, it also reflected Yang Hongfeng's status and value, and he still shines in another field after leaving the CBA.
