On the evening of January 3, Beijing time, the CBA Liao Basket sitting at home accidentally suffered a big setback. In the face of a tragic defeat, the opponent turned out to be a strong team from Zhejiang. It is worth noting that this is the third defeat experienced by Liao Basket in the regular season so far this season, and these three games are the result of playing against the Zhejiang team. When the game was close to the end, the reaction of Liao basketball player Fu Hao was jaw-dropping, and his behavior not only put the team in a more serious predicament, but also directly prompted him to be driven away from the scene by the referee.
Such an irrational behavior is expected to make Fu Hao face a serious punishment of a ban in future games. Regarding Fu Hao's action, the majority of netizens have expressed their incomprehension and acceptance, and generally believe that his behavior is far from his identity as a professional athlete.
Based on the top teams in the CBA League, Liao Basket's ultimate goal this season is to shout the slogan of sprinting to the championship. However, the back-to-back defeats and irrational behaviour of the players have undoubtedly cast a shadow over the team's prospects for the season. Especially in this encounter with the Zhejiang team, the overall performance of Liao Basket can be called extremely bad.
The whole team seems to be suppressed by the strength of the Zhejiang team, and it seems to be powerless both on the offensive end and the defensive line. was unexpectedly upset by the Zhejiang team at his own home, such a result undoubtedly surprised everyone. Even more surprising, however, was the scene that took place near the end of the race. Liao Basket star Fu Hao was directly expelled from the game because of an unreasonable action, which is tantamount to adding insult to injury, making the defeat of Liao Basket even more tragic.
At the end of the game, in an attack launched by Liao Basket, Fu Hao forced a layup on the inside to score. Unexpectedly, this attack caused an uproar. When Fu Hao forced a breakthrough, he unexpectedly threw a heavy punch and hit Jones, a foreign player of the Zhejiang team, in the face. The rarity and excesses of such actions can be seen. Battered Jones, he lay on the ground in pain, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth. The rest of the Zhejiang team players who were determined to protect the interests of their team also appealed to the referee one after another, and accused Fu Hao's behavior of being too bad. After the game, the Zhejiang team officially released a statement detailing Jones' injury. The statement read: "Jones fought so hard that he lost three of his teeth!" The news is tantamount to pouring cold water on the public. Fu Hao's behavior not only caused serious physical harm to Jones, but also brought unbearable negative effects to his team.
The majority of fans expressed their strong dissatisfaction and severe condemnation of Fu Hao's behavior. Some believe that Fu Hao's behavior is too impulsive, and he lacks respect for his opponents and his own self-restraint. There are also those who believe that this is a vicious foul that cannot be tolerated in sports events and should be severely punished. There is no doubt that for Liao Basket, the defeat of this game and Fu Hao's expulsion from the game undoubtedly brought them a heavy psychological burden. Despite being the top team in the CBA League, they should be more technical and tactical and more athletic in the game. However, Fu Hao's impulsive move seriously damaged the team's reputation and disappointed the majority of fans.
He showed a shot of Jones falling out of three teeth after being hit in the face by Fu Hao's heavy elbow, and the scene was simply chillingly bloody. The tragic consequences of this collision of forces made the management of the Zhejiang team indignant and immediately made a statement on the incident. After a long and meticulous video verification, the referee team finally gave a fair and severe punishment and decided that Fu Hao would leave the field directly. However, despite Fu Hao's verbal emphasis that his arm was also damaged and wounded, the referee team ignored his arguments that he was unlucky. It is well known that any form of violent use of an opponent in the course of a match is an unacceptable form of misconduct.
In the face of this opponent who lost his gums because of himself, Fu Hao still tried to justify his actions, and this conceptual failure made people feel that he had lost both the score and the dignity. All the Zhejiang team members, including Cheng Shuaipeng, felt deep grief and anger, and they walked to the edge of the field with Jones's broken tooth in their hands, holding up the camera to express their inner grievances and injustices to the national audience. They firmly vowed to prove their innocence with the only evidence they had—the broken tooth in their hands. Fu Hao's behavior not only seriously damaged his opponents, but also seriously affected his public image and the team's reputation. In the competition, we should respect our opponents, strictly abide by the rules of the competition, and take fair competition as the criterion we uphold. On the contrary, Fu Hao's actions clearly violated these most fundamental principles, making people question his professional ethics.
In addition, the overreaction shown by Cheng Shuaipeng and other team members also aroused public emotion. They should have kept a clear head and rational thinking, and dealt with the setbacks and challenges in the game with a more mature and rational attitude. Rather than taking drastic actions to express one's pain and grievances. In addition, given that the Zhejiang team deleted the key photographic evidence, we can see that Fu Hao's blow at the end of the final can be called extremely despicable. In the end, Fu Hao even roared at the camera: "The game is over!", which seemed to forcibly clear himself of responsibility, however, the fact is that his behavior has already been punished.
According to the relevant regulations of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA), the punishment for expulsion will inevitably be accompanied by the first suspension, so there is no need for fans to strongly appeal, Fu Hao's future competition has also been drawn on the brakes. As many netizens and fans criticized after the game, for his additional ban: "If you don't give at least 5 games of suspension, then such a ruling is undoubtedly unfair!"
