On December 29, Beijing time, the Guangdong men's basketball team arranged Yi Jianlian's retirement ceremony on the night of the home game against the Zhejiang Guangsha men's basketball team.
It should be said that the sense of ceremony is full, the stadium is full of fans, all red clothes and accessories, very atmosphere; in terms of guests, the head of Chinese basketball, Yi Jianlian's friends have been present; in terms of media reports, major sports platforms have given great attention; in terms of broadcast configuration, the big platforms have been configured with leading anchors for live broadcast.
On the night of the upcoming New Year's Eve, after choosing a game between Guangdong and Guangsha, Yi Jianlian's retirement ceremony was arranged, the purpose of which was to pay tribute to the United Arab Emirates, promote CBA, promote basketball, and boost morale.
However, this strong dialogue between Guangdong and Guangsha took a dramatic turn in the third quarter of the game: Wang Bo, the coach of the Guangsha team, chose to replace the five starters with five substitutes when Guangdong only led by three points at 78-75, until the end of the game! In the post-game interview, Wang Bo only expressed his blessings to Yi Jianlian, but did not say a word about the game itself.
The Guangsha team chose five up and five down, and the fuse was the referee's decision. After the referee made a series of unfavorable judgments against Guangsha, the Guangsha team "explained" the game in such a decisive way.
The first is to directly express dissatisfaction with the referee's decision. According to the current CBA regulations, the head coaches and players of each team, including club personnel, are not allowed to point fingers at the referee's decision, and the Guangsha team's choice of five up and five down is a kind of silent protest! The choice of this protest method is also relatively skillful, saying nothing and saying everything.
The second is that there are emotions and it is inconvenient to vent directly. In this game, Sun Minghui of the Guangsha team and Zhang Haojia of the Guangdong team had a physical conflict, and the Guangsha team was unwilling to accept the penalty result. But after all, Yi Jianlian's retirement ceremony will be held on the night of the game, and if the main force continues, there may be more fierce conflicts. Therefore, the replacement of substitutes can be regarded as a manifestation of taking into account the overall situation.
The third is that I don't make noise and I don't quit the game. The substitution action of the Guangsha team on 5 up and down looks like a lot of action, but after careful analysis, there is nothing that can be defined as a protest move. They didn't get noisy and didn't quit the game, and the bench played quite well, and in the end they lost by 11 points.
