In the latest round of the high-profile Chinese Men's Basketball Professional League (CBA) schedule, the Liaoning men's basketball team sat on the battlefield as the host to meet the challenge of competing opponents from Zhejiang. Although it is worth remembering that in the finals stage of last season, the Liaoning men's basketball team easily defeated the Zhejiang men's basketball team to win the championship trophy and become the third championship in the team's history, but we must understand that the situation in each period is constantly changing, and the atmosphere of ordinary games and finals is significantly different.
In this game, the Zhejiang men's basketball team fully activated its own state, and the scene was full of an atmosphere of motivation and progress, and their tense fighting state showed that the concentration of the Liaoning men's basketball team exceeded that of the Liaoning men's basketball team. In the end, they successfully achieved the results of the counterattack against the regular season, bringing a new challenge to the Liao Basketball.
Looking back on the game process, the Liaoning men's basketball team showed its deep and rich strength and profound experience accumulation with the attitude of the master. Although they crushed the Zhejiang men's basketball team in the last finals without pressure, the victory in this game played on their home court was due to their unremitting efforts and determination to go all out. During the on-site competition, the Zhejiang men's basketball team has always maintained a tenacious fighting spirit and excellent competitive standards, and has continued to troubled and challenged the Liaoning men's basketball team. As far as the Zhejiang men's basketball team is concerned, the victory in this competition allowed them to regain their confidence and successfully get rid of the haze of being swept by the Liaoning men's basketball team in the finals last season. The victory revealed their limitless potential, gave them confidence in the future events, and a desire to win.
In contrast, the loss of the Liaoning men's basketball team in this game provided an opportunity for deep reflection, but they did not dwell too much on this issue. The reason is simple, because this is still just an ordinary regular season game, and winning or losing is a military practice, and there is no need to over-interpret it as a sign of the trend of the whole season, let alone the final result. They know that the key challenge is the playoffs, not the scheduled regular season. With this in mind, they need to learn from their failures, identify their own problems, and be better prepared for the playoffs.
However, near the end of the game, there was a shocking surprise in the arena. The player of the Liaoning men's basketball team, Fu Hao, used his elbow to slam Jones, a foreign aid who performed well in the Zhejiang men's basketball team, in the process of defense, causing the opponent to fall hard. This unexpected incident made the atmosphere of the entire arena suddenly tense, and the atmosphere of danger jumped on the paper. Sadly, Jones's three front teeth had completely fallen out as a result of the elbow blow, and blood splattered on the field. Jones lay on the ground in agony, unable to regain his normal mobility for a long time. Due to this sudden incident, the two teams, which were originally peacefully coexisting, suddenly fell into the whirlpool of online disputes.
This complex contradiction on and off the field has become a major topic of discussion in this season's CBA League. When the Liaoning men's basketball team plays away from home after the game, there are always more or less disputes with local fans and on-site staff, and these conflicts have also become a unique landscape of the CBA. However, Fu Hao's misconduct this time caused him a problem that is difficult to ignore. After a strict trial, the referee on duty ruled that Fu Hao's foul behavior of infringing rights was established, confiscated his qualification to play on the spot, and directly expelled him from the field. This is actually the first time this season that the Liaoning men's basketball team has faced the dilemma of a player being expelled from the competition for violating rights.
As an outstanding professional player, Fu Hao's words and deeds should be like a mirror, showing noble sportsmanship and respectful professional ethics. However, the elbow action that took place here is undoubtedly exclusive to his identity and responsibility. During the game, players are expected to provide fans with a positive and healthy way of exercising, rather than arguing through unethical, illegal or even dangerous behavior.
While many media and fans are arguing fiercely about the "malicious foul" of the Bayi men's basketball team Fu Hao in the game and what additional punishment should be given, in fact, people are ignoring a crucial fact: the referee at the time made a highly ironic and extremely unprofessional decision. Thankfully, however, his miscalculation was revealed early, thus avoiding a potentially catastrophic outcome. As for why this miscalculation occurred, read on.
After in-depth analysis and careful observation of Fu Hao's illegal actions at that particular moment, the referee came to a conclusion: Fu Hao's behavior was judged to be an intentional foul, and he should be expelled from the competition according to the rules of the competition. However, at this critical juncture, the referee is very jaw-dropping to compare his finger to No. 77 player Zhang Zhenlin, which is definitely a major misunderstanding, Fu Hao and Zhang Zhenlin were confused how to distinguish, which is undoubtedly a blatant betrayal of the duty of professional referees.
Fortunately, the players of the Zhejiang team quickly calmed down and informed the referee in time that the actual offender was Fu Hao and not Zhang Zhenlin. At this moment, the chief layoff woke up like a dream and immediately corrected the error. Otherwise, Zhang Zhenlin would have suffered an innocent name and fully bore Fu Hao's misdeeds. Such a ridiculous phenomenon not only undermines the credibility of professional judges, but also raises public concerns about the fairness of the competition.
It is worth noting that the No. 77 and No. 1 could misread and a big mistake on the pitch by the referee, which made people can't help but start to doubt their professional vacancies. And, bizarrely, such mistakes are not just an occasional phenomenon, but seem to have become a commonplace. In the face of this situation, we need to think deeply and deal with it seriously.
First of all, from a technical point of view, the referee, as the "judge" of the field, should have the ability to clearly and accurately interpret the rules of the game and the actions of the players. Unfortunately, some judges are still far from meeting expectations in this regard. In the case of No. 77 and No. 1, for example, their misjudgment at key moments such as the decisive stage has seriously affected the fairness of the match and its spectacle value. Referees of this level not only undermine the fairness of the game, but also greatly disrespect the players, fans and even the entire league.
Secondly, from the perspective of the league management, the working mechanism of the CBA League and the Chinese Basketball Association in the training, selection, evaluation and selection of referees is also worth considering. If a referee's professional level is not improved continuously, or even frequent misjudgments, it not only reflects individual problems, but also reveals serious shortcomings in the training and management of referees in the league as a whole. In the face of these kinds of problems, we cannot be satisfied with simply punishing coaches and athletes in order to counter violence with violence. More importantly, we need to deeply reflect on and strive to improve the training, evaluation and incentive mechanism of referees.
Finally, referees are an indispensable part of the basketball game, and their professional skills and judgment ability play a pivotal role in the outcome of the game. If referees with low professional skills are allowed to enforce the law on the court, it will not only seriously hinder the development of China's professional basketball league, but also may detonate various heated discussions and contradictions. Once these contradictions are further exacerbated, they will often bring irreparable damage to the image and prestige of the entire league.
