In a high-profile basketball matchup, the Guangdong team won the series with a significant advantage of 20 points in the competition with the Guangsha team. However, the focus of the game unexpectedly fell on the referee's decision, which sparked heated discussions and controversy. The referee of this match is Yang Hongfeng, who enjoys an international reputation, and he is in charge of the adjudication of the game together with the assistant referees Zhang Lei and Yuan Ningpeng.
The referee's decision became an issue that could not be ignored in this game, and the repeated mistakes had a significant impact on the direction of the game. To some extent, the Guangdong team seems to be facing an unfavorable situation of 8 to 5, and the referee's mistakes are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
First of all, the problem of missed judgments by referees is particularly prominent. In a strong attack under the basket, Guangdong player Ren Junfei was obviously interfered with by the Guangsha players, but the referee did not make any penalty for this.
Second, miscarriages of justice also occur from time to time. The Guangsha player was cleanly blocked by a Guangdong player during a layup, but the referee wrongly awarded a foul.
Then, the counter-judgment also appeared in the game. It was originally an offensive foul, but it was misjudged as a defensive foul, which directly caused the Guangdong team to lose a scoring opportunity.
In the end, the second misjudgment occurred when the Guangdong players were defending, but the referee only awarded an ordinary foul.
These successive penalty errors not only affected the fairness of the game, but also made the victory of the Guangdong team seem a bit fluke. If it weren't for Guangdong's superior quality, they would likely have lost the game because of these decisions. The referee's unfair decision not only caused dissatisfaction among the team and fans, but also aroused widespread attention from public opinion.
In this regard, some public opinion strongly called for severe punishment for the performance of referee Yang Hongfeng and others to maintain the fairness of the game and the authority of the referee. Referees shall perform their duties independently and impartially to ensure that the fairness and normal order of the game are maintained.
At the same time, the Liaoning men's basketball team showed their strong strength as the defending champions in the first round of the playoffs against Shenzhen, winning easily by a huge margin of 37 points. In this game, Liaoning's newly introduced foreign player Cooper became the focus of attention, and his debut left a deep impression on the fans.
Although the Liaoning team, as the regular season champion, did not participate in the 12-8 play-offs, it had a two-week break. But they haven't let up on their training and have been preparing well for the playoffs.
In the face of Shenzhen's challenge, Liaoning started a little slowly, but quickly adjusted, and a strong counterattack in the third quarter helped them win a landslide victory at home, taking a temporary 1-0 overall lead.
New foreign player Cooper played only 10 minutes in this game, but scored nine points, showing excellent individual ability and breakthrough skills. Cooper's debut as a late regular season player was highly anticipated, as he not only scored but also organized offense and contributed on the defensive end.
Liaoning head coach Yang Ming spoke highly of Cooper's performance, believing that he brought new speed and impact to the team, adding new tactical changes to the team. Although Cooper is currently only the third foreign player, Yang Ming said that his performance is full of confidence and full of anticipation for the future of the team. It remains to be seen if Cooper can be the next Hudson.
