On December 20, Beijing time, the Liaoning men's basketball team played against the Shanxi team in a controversial scene, and the team's ace player Fogg failed to stop this behavior in two consecutive games. In both games, the referee did not blow for a foul.
It wasn't the first time that Fogg had a controversial move in the game, as he kicked his opponent in the crotch with a flying right leg kick in his last game against Shanghai, causing him to tumble. In this recent match, Fogg used a similar move again, this time it was Chang Lin of the Shanxi team who was injured.
At 8 minutes and 52 seconds in the second quarter, the Liaoning men's basketball team led the Shanxi team by one point. At this point, Chang Lin defended Fergus, and Fogg tried to pass the ball, but his right foot flew to Chang Lin's crotch again during the jump. This scene is the same as the previous attack on Liu Zhengqing. Although the referee was half a meter behind Fogg and witnessed the whole process, he still did not give a penalty, or even a foul.
The referee decided that Fogg was not doing it on purpose, but was just focusing on the pass and ignoring the goal at his feet. Judging from the slow-motion replay, Fogg's movements were indeed not enough to bring serious damage to Chang Lin. However, considering this is the second time Fogg has used such an inappropriate gesture, it is unacceptable, as seemingly unintentional.
In the last round of the game, although Fogg had a mistake against Liu Zhengqing, the referee thought that it was an unintentional mistake and did not blow the penalty after reviewing the video. However, there is no doubt that such actions by Fogg have attracted people's attention and thinking. It is worth discussing whether such an unintentional move is appropriate, whether it is appropriate to inflict damage on the vital parts of the opposition players every game, and whether Ferg should restrain himself appropriately, and whether the coaching staff needs to warn and adjust to it?
Similar incidents occur in every game, and the referee always fails to give a penalty due to unintentional action. This makes one wonder if this kind of incident is allowed to continue, how safe is there for the opposing players? On the basketball court, it is inevitable that the players will collide physically, but the act of deliberately harming the opponent will never be tolerated. So, should Fogg take it seriously to avoid a similar situation happening again, or should the referees of the CBA league pay more attention to such actions of athletes and punish them accordingly?
First of all, let's make it clear that basketball is not a war, and players need to show their skills and will while abiding by the rules. Fogg's malicious behavior this time has gone beyond the scope of the game and seriously threatens the opponent's health. If this kind of behavior is allowed to spread, the basketball game will become less exciting and may even lose its viewing value. So, with players like Fogg, we have to take it seriously and make them realise their mistakes and correct their behaviour.
Secondly, the referees of the CBA league also need to strengthen their professional quality and improve their ability to control the game. In the competition, referees play an important role in maintaining fairness and justice, and they should be vigilant against the malicious behavior of athletes and make timely judgments. For malicious behavior like Fogg's, the referees should not hesitate to award an offensive foul, and even additional penalties such as a suspension. Only in this way can we effectively curb the occurrence of malicious behavior, ensure the fairness of the game and the health of the players.
In addition, we should also strengthen the professional ethics education of basketball players. As a professional player, they should have a good work ethic, respect their opponents and cherish their game. Maliciously harming an opponent is not only a violation of professional ethics, but may also have an impact on the player's own career. Therefore, clubs and coaches should pay attention to the professional ethics education of players, so that they can understand the meaning of the game and establish correct values.
In short, if Fogg does this again in future games, the referee should not hesitate to award him an offensive foul. Repeated actions must not be tolerated, otherwise, not only will Fergus's own safety be in danger, but also innocent opponents may be harmed. We hope that through this incident, all parties can pay attention to the safety of the basketball court and jointly create a fair, just and safe competition environment.
Basketball has a broad mass base in the mainland, and the development of the CBA league has also attracted increasing attention. We look forward to the players being able to dedicate wonderful games to the fans with more enthusiasm and a more professional attitude in the future games. At the same time, we also hope that all parties in the league can work together to effectively strengthen the safety management of basketball courts, so that basketball can be better developed in the mainland.
