Yesterday, China Blue Union issued Circular No. 429 of 2023. The main spirit of the notice is that Gu Quan, the No. 12 player of the Shenzhen men's basketball team, made a decision to suspend one game and impose a fine of 50,000 yuan.
The reason for the above penalty decision is that the player was dissatisfied with the referee's penalty in the 16th round of the CBA 159 Shenzhen away game against the Shanxi men's basketball team, and pointed at the referee and used insulting language when he left the court. After the incident, Gu Quansheng had no objection to the decision of the punishment itself, but explained the occurrence and cause of the incident.
Judging from the content of the explanation, Gu Quan clarified the root cause of the matter. He said: "One or two penalties could not have caused such an emotional reaction in me, and it was only because of verbal provocation that I had an overreaction. Judging from Gu Quan's explanation of doubts and the consequences of impulsively insulting the referee, he proved two things.
One is that the referee verbally provoked me, and the other is that I insulted the referee. If the Shanxi men's basketball player verbally provoked Gu Quan, then Gu Quan would directly have a head-on conflict with the Shanxi men's basketball player, but the actual situation is that Gu Quan did not have half a sentence of unhappiness with the Shanxi men's basketball player, and directly stood up and scolded the referee.
So, what kind of language did the referee use to provoke Gu Quan? From all the live footage and post-match video, there is no direct evidence to prove it!
Although some netizens took screenshots trying to prove that Shanxi men's basketball player Chang Lin hit Gu Quan with his arm, Chang Lin was suspected of fouling or even physical fouling, but it can be seen through slow motion that Chang Lin's move to block Gu Quan was not deliberately hitting people, and Gu Quan's fall to the ground was obviously suspected of fake falling, so it is unknown whether the referee on duty warned Gu Quan of the possibility of fake falling. As a result, Gu Quan did not have a head-on conflict with Chang Lin because of Chang Lin's actions, but directly compared with the referee.
In this way, it shows a problem, some self-media are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and fabricate a false fact that Chang Lin violated the physical foul and was dissatisfied with the referee's punishment. If this is not the case, it can only be said that there is a problem with Gu Quan's IQ! His explanation after the fact and his behavior at the time did not target any players in the Shanxi men's basketball team! I just can't get along with the referee!
