This morning, the president of the Turkish Basketball Association issued a text shelling the International Blue League, because they suffered unfair treatment at the european championship that just ended, according to the president of the basketball association, Turkish players were even beaten by 30 security guards on the players' tunnel. FIBA also responded to this incident in a timely manner, saying that it would intervene in the investigation and give a clear conclusion to the incident.
The Turkish national team and the Georgian national team in the European Championship on the fifth of this month have frequently appeared, not only the Turkish player Kolkmaz was beaten by security personnel after being expelled from the game, but also the timer at the scene of the game was also a problem. The Turkish Basketball Association believed that it had been treated unfairly and submitted a request to the International Blue Federation to re-play, but the International Basketball Federation finally refused the Turkish Basketball Association's request, after all, the game has ended, the results have been announced, and the re-competition will damage the face of the International Blue Federation. The International Blue Federation has officially intervened in the investigation of the kolkmaz beating incident, but since the competition was held in Georgia and the surveillance data at that time was in the hands of Georgia, it may be difficult for Turkey to find video proof materials.
Kolkmaz's expulsion was unfairly treated on the one hand, and related to his own fiery temper on the other. Before being expelled, he broke through with the ball and caused fouls on the opposing defensive player, and when he stood at the free throw line to prepare for the free throw, the opposing player's verbal stimulation clashed, and the two men pointed to the locker room. In the end, the referee expelled both of them from the game, and according to the report of the president of the Turkish Basketball Association, Kolkmaz was surrounded by Georgian players and security personnel at the venue on the way back to the locker room, and he said that more than 30 security personnel participated in the fight. However, because it is the home of Georgia, the video of the scene has not been exposed, and the current situation is limited to the one-sided words of the president of the Turkish Basketball Association. FIBA has already stepped in to investigate, and it depends on the outcome of the investigation.
Competitive sports itself is full of confrontation, and it is normal for conflicts to occur, but athletes must control a degree, otherwise it is easy to cause more serious consequences. Home whistles and home treatment on the basketball court are already commonplace, and teams playing away should be prepared in advance, of course, if they have been treated obviously unfairly, they should still appeal.
