On the evening of February 5, Beijing time, in the 39th round of the CBA League, Guangdong Hongyuan lost to Zhejiang Chouzhou 122:126 at home, and suffered three consecutive defeats for the first time in the season, and the last time Guangdong Hongyuan suffered three consecutive defeats in the regular season was in the distant 2015-16 season, which has been 9 years.
In this game, Guangdong Hongyuan player Xu Jie played a good offensive performance, scoring 22 points on 8-of-13 shooting in the game, but Xu Jie's several defensive fouls once again caused controversy.
In the past period, Xu Jie's close defense has caused a lot of discussion, Peterson said that Xu Jie hugged and hugged like a girlfriend, and many fans described it as closer to life, bluntly saying that this is a bath-style defense.
In the game with Zhejiang Chouzhou, Xu Jie first used a trick to clamp the arm defense, the first quarter of the game played until about 5 minutes left, Xu Jie has been sticking to the opponent from the backcourt when defending Jones, just after the halfway line Xu Jie suddenly clamped Jones's arm, Jones also hit Xu Jie's face in order to break free of the arm, but the referee whistled after Xu Jie fouled.
The No. 102 referee clearly pointed out that Xu Jie had an action of pinching his arm, although the fans at the scene had opinions on the referee's decision, and there were also protests on the bench of Guangdong Hongyuan, but from the slow motion, this blowing penalty was very accurate, Xu Jie did have a hidden action of pinching the opponent's arm, fortunately, the No. 102 referee observed carefully enough.
Soon after the opening of the second quarter, Xu Jie continued to play against Jones, both of them are petite players, and their movements are relatively agile, Jones was hugged by Xu Jie from behind his back after a reverse run, and the referee on No. 101 immediately blew Xu Jie's foul, this time Xu Jie's action of hugging the defense was very obvious, although the fans were still dissatisfied, but Xu Jie did not make any excuses.
In the third quarter of the game, Xu Jie used an unfriendly defensive move when defending Lu Wenbo's shot, after Lu Wenbo jumped, Xu Jie drilled his body into the space where Lu Wenbo fell, Lu Wenbo landed unsteadily and fell to the ground, almost stepped on Xu Jie's foot, and the referee blew the whistle and blew Xu Jie's defensive foul.
The furious Du Feng strongly expressed his dissatisfaction with the referee, and the fans at the scene shouted black whistles, but judging from slow motion, Xu Jie's actions were not a problem at all, Xu Jie did not leave room for the opponent to land on his feet, and Xu Jie's distorted body further squeezed Lu Wenbo's landing space, and it was no problem to foul or even blow a physical foul this time.
In recent years, there have been CBA foreign aid saying that our CBA players have too many small actions, and in the World Cup, our Chinese men's basketball team has a lot of hand action fouls, taking Xu Jie as an example, in the past, the referee did not play more freely when the hand action was not strictly blown, but this season, after the CBA official request to increase the blowing penalty of the hand action, you will find that many of Xu Jie's defensive actions are indeed not standardized, which is also a problem that our national team players need to correct as much as possible.
