On December 17, Beijing time, the CBA officially announced that Shandong player Zhang Hui would be suspended for 3 games and fined 100,000 yuan, and the team's coach Ding Wei had management responsibility for the team, so he was also fined 10,000 yuan.
The reason is that when there were 5 minutes and 50 seconds left in the fourth quarter of the last Shandong vs. Shenzhen game, Zhang Hui pushed Macon down from behind when he was completely passed by Shenzhen foreign aid Macon, directly causing the latter to fall to the ground in pain and injury, and the referee immediately blew a physical foul.
The screams of Macon, who fell to the ground, resounded throughout the arena, and the referee quickly watched the replay to further determine the situation.
It can be seen from the slow play that because Zhang Hui pushed people from the side and back, the right knee of Macon who broke through had an obvious deformation and distortion to the left, and the referee naturally did not relent, and directly expelled Zhang Hui from the game.
After a short period of adjustment, Macon, who fell to the ground, stubbornly chose to retain the last face of being a professional player, refusing to be carried off on a stretcher, but leaving the field with the support of his teammates.
Before leaving the game, Macon efficiently hit 31 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, and the Shenzhen team also led Shandong with a huge advantage of 24 points.
It is worth mentioning that towards the end of the race, Macon, who had a heavy ice pack strapped to his leg, limped back to the field.
Macon stepped forward to agree with the opponent, and also greeted the opponent's foreign aid, and thanked his teammates who cared about him, showing the professional attitude and basic quality that a professional player should have.
According to the follow-up report of "Inspector Zhao in the ball circle", Macon suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and is expected to need to rest for a while.
As Inspector Zhao said, the current situation of the Shenzhen team can be described as a house leak that coincided with overnight rain, not only the team's backline has been plagued by injuries in a row, but foreign aid has been injured one after another.
In the case that Sallinger has not returned from injury, Macon suffered another major injury, and only Novak is available among the three foreign aides of the Shenzhen team.
Judging from the performance so far in the game, Novak's offensive ability is limited, and it is almost impossible to make up for Macon's absence.
If the Shenzhen team wants to get through this difficult time, they can only pin more hopes on domestic players such as He Xining, Shen Zijie, Bai Haotian, Zhou Peng and Lu Pengyu.
Shenzhen is currently ranked 7th in the league with a record of 10 wins and 7 losses, but fortunately, the next three games will be against Tianjin, Fujian and Ningbo, three relatively weak opponents, which can get some respite.
