Even Beijing BAIC's home audience was unexpected, as the team that won the CBA league championship for a second time, they unexpectedly lost to Nanjing Tongxi, which is dominated by young players, by a huge 33 points in their own stadium. At this moment, the once proud glory of Beijing BAIC fell like a meteor. After the race, Beijing BAIC did not adopt an escape strategy, but faced this difficult and painful reality head-on. They used official channels to express their deep guilt to the fans and vowed to make a strong commitment to do everything in their power in future matches and not to let fans have the same disappointing experience again.
Indeed, while promises and apologies are important, actions are the key to regaining the trust of fans. If Beijing BAIC really wants to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past and make fans no longer disappointed, they need to carry out more than just empty emotional declarations, but should start from the cornerstone of the team and carry out a comprehensive adjustment and reconstruction. Especially for the veteran players in the competitive team, if they have lost their fighting spirit and energy, it is time for them to make way for the younger players to make their mark.
The final quarter of the tournament was supposed to be a big stage for the young players to show off their individual talents, and their coach Xi Relijiang wanted to give them more opportunities to play and help them thrive faster. However, the unexpected always comes quietly. During an offensive process during the fourth quarter, one of Nanjing Tongxi's players was unfortunately injured and forced to leave the court. This sudden change made the originally calm fourth quarter choppy, and the players of Beijing BAIC had to play 12 points to deal with this unexpected incident. When the Beijing BAIC team sent out the sideline ball, Fang Shuo and Yin Chunwen's arms were intertwined, like a subtle friendship dance. Just as the referee blew his whistle to announce that there had been a foul on both sides, we could clearly see from the slow-motion replay that the decision was correct. The hands of the two were like a pair of tangled thorns, clasping each other, as if they were fighting for an invisible victory seat.
However, at that moment, Fang Shuo's emotions suddenly went out of control. I saw that his eyes were burning with rage, and his body seemed to be stirred by a violent wind, and he rushed towards Yin Chunwen in an instant. If it weren't for the quick reaction of the referee and his teammates around him, who pulled the two apart in time, the flames of this conflict could have risen sharply.
After carefully observing the situation on the field, the referee decided to replay the video of the game to obtain a more accurate basis for the decision. He sat in front of a video recorder on the sidelines, devoting himself to reviewing every detail. His eyes are as sharp as an eagle, and he can't afford to miss a single clue. After in-depth consideration, he made an arbitration decision: Fang Shuo was forced to leave the court because he was involved in a serious foul, and the nature of the foul was a violation. This ruling undoubtedly gave a harsh spur to Fang Shuo, who was emotionally out of control. His departure not only brought serious personnel losses to the Beijing BAIC team, but also gave a profound impact on the mental level. This former hero on the pitch not only lost the game at this moment, but also lost the dignity and honor that he deserved as an athlete. His unusual behaviour has left all the fans and teammates deeply saddened and regretted.
Fang Shuo's fierce attack was like a heavy hammer, fully revealing the powerlessness and fragility concealed under the powerful camouflage of Beijing BAIC. After a 12-year absence, they suffered another embarrassing 33-point defeat on their home training ground. It is worth noting that Fang Shuo, as a key figure in this tragic battle, has become a rare phenomenon - the only player who has suffered this pain twice in a row. His brutal and non-technical foul led to a harsh red card from the referee, which is undoubtedly a true reflection of his lack of calm response. Although this is a unique situation, Fang Shuo's actions will undoubtedly put him in the face of harsher punishment. His actions are a clear violation of the basic ethical principles of sports competition, and he is very likely to receive a written warning or a fine from the authorities.
For Beijing BAIC, if they still believe that they can win the league crown with only the existing group of veterans who are in their thirties, then their chances of winning the tournament can be considered almost negligible compared to buying lottery tickets to win the jackpot. Especially in their home game against the Nanjing visitors, they were unable to secure a temporary victory even though they put on a young and energetic line-up. This failure not only marks the aging of the personnel structure of the Beijing BAIC team, but also reflects the endless bleakness of their future development prospects.
These veterans remain indispensable within the squad, and while the 27-year-old has shown his potential to shine, it is clear that he still does not have the quality and opportunity to make a significant difference. This fact naturally explains why fans in Beijing are extremely disappointed and even angry. Beijing BAIC must be acutely aware that relying too much on veterans is not a reliable long-term strategy. They need to actively nurture new people and bring in fresh energy in order to ensure that the whole team always maintains a strong fighting spirit and strong competitiveness. If they fail to implement effective change, they will inevitably encounter more frequent setbacks and setbacks in the future.
Overall, the defeat in the past game and Fang Shuo's misconduct undoubtedly sent a vigilant signal to Beijing BAIC. They need to re-examine their strategy and take practical steps to improve and enhance the team's future prospects and strength. Only in this way will they be able to regain their former glory and become a strong challenger for the league title again.
