In an unusual basketball season, Xu Jie of the Guangdong men's basketball team has become the focus of attention. The All-Star has caught the attention of referees for his unique style of defense – a style known as the "Rub Waist Style." In a match against Zhejiang Guangsha, Xu Jie's defensive maneuver once again became the center of controversy.
In the second quarter of the game, with 57 seconds left, Xu Jie quickly stepped forward and hugged the waist of the opponent's core player Wharton with his trademark move. However, this time his actions were immediately noticed by the referee and he was penalized. This punishment not only made Xu Jie feel confused and helpless, but also made the audience and the commentator discuss it greatly.
Xu Jie's defense, although it may not have attracted the attention of the referee before, in this game, the referee was unforgiving of his behavior. The change appears to be a response to Xu's previous defensive moves, with the referees beginning to tighten the grip on these out-of-the-ordinary moves.
Netizens reacted positively to the decision, with many expressing support for the referee's decision. They believe that Xu Jie's defensive moves may still be seen in the domestic arena, but in international competitions, such moves could lead to a rapid accumulation of fouls that could adversely affect the international image of the Chinese team.
Xu Jie's blowing penalty this time is not only a major challenge to his personal defensive style, but also a test of the overall tactics of the Guangdong men's basketball team. As a strong team with a long history, the Guangdong men's basketball team needs to find a new way to win within the framework of the rules.
