On April 17, the Chinese Basketball Association determined that the negative games of the Shanghai men's basketball team and the Jiangsu men's basketball team were true, and issued heavy fines, including disqualifying the two teams from this season and fining the Shanghai men's basketball team and the Jiangsu men's basketball team 5 million yuan each.
Not long ago, the Central Inspection Group was stationed in the State General Administration of Sports. Some commentators said that in this context, two influential teams in the Chinese basketball industry chose "negative games", and their boldness and bad nature are strange.
Nandu reporters combed and found that at the meeting of the Chinese Basketball Association at the end of last year, the State General Administration of Sports put forward requirements for the new leadership of the basketball association: be highly vigilant against the erosion of the basketball field by capital chaos, and resolutely crack down on the fake, gambling and black phenomena in the basketball field.
This can't help but make people think: the anti-corruption in the field of football is vigorous, and how far can the field of basketball go in combating fake gambling?
