Zhou Qi was expelled, and the Guangdong team also lost, and it is hard to imagine that Zhou Qi, as a veteran player, would make malicious elbows on the field.
Guangdong team lost to Guangsha team 102:109 away, in this game, the core athlete Zhou Qi only played a little more than 18 minutes, in this game, Zhou Qi contributed 11 points, 7 rebounds, 1 block, 2 steals, but Zhou Qi committed more fouls in this game, four fouls in 18 minutes.
Zhou Qi was ejected from the game, this incident occurred in the third quarter of the game, when the Guangdong team was 62-55 ahead of the Guangsha team, Zhou Qi encountered the bag of two athletes of the Guangsha team in an offensive round, in this package round, Li Jinxiao of the Guangsha team directly pushed Zhou Qi with his shoulder, perhaps this action made Zhou Qi feel very dissatisfied, Zhou Qi directly hit Li Jinxiao's head with his elbow in the subsequent joint action. The situation on the field was very dangerous, and the two sides almost clashed, and the referee decisively pulled these people away at this time.
With Zhou Qi's departure, the Guangdong team's inner line was not well guaranteed, and the Guangsha team fought to catch up in the last quarter, and finally defeated the Guangdong team 109:102 and pulled back a city.
The final statistic is that Hu Mingxuan contributed 23 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists in 31 minutes of play. Xu Jie played 29 minutes and contributed 9 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, while Weems played 28 minutes and contributed 19 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists. The top scorers on the bench were Zhang Mingchi and Zhang Haojia, who scored nine points each.
The top scorer on the Guangsha side was Zhao Yanhao, who saved the Guangsha team by hitting a killer three-pointer at a critical moment, and he chipped in 25 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists. Sun Minghui contributed 12 points and 13 assists, Okafor contributed 17 points and 10 rebounds, and Li Jinxiao, who was elbowed by Zhou Qi, contributed 19 points.
In fact, the main problem in this game is still in the referee's blowing penalty, and the referee's blowing scale is quite different between the two halves. Taking Zhou Qi's foul as an example, there was already a large physical contact between the two sides before this, but the referee did not make a clear statement. Perhaps Zhou Qi also felt that the referee would not catch the foul too much in this round, so he also caught the action of waving his elbow.
What makes people feel more funny is that when the game entered the fourth quarter, there were about 4 minutes and 27 seconds left on the court, Xu Jie knocked down Zhao Yanhao in the process of dribbling, but the referee blew a physical foul, this foul was confusing, and they were thinking about the referee's intention to blow the penalty. If this ball is considered a foul, then in the first half, should the multiple fouls of the Guangsha team be blown on the same scale?
Zhou Qi's action today buried the upcoming victory of the Guangdong team, which is a bit regrettable. It is worth mentioning that once the Guangdong team advances, their opponent in the next round is the Liaoning team, and once the CBA official makes additional penalties for Zhou Qi's malicious foul action in this game, then Zhou Qi will definitely be banned. Previously, Huang Rongqi of the Xinjiang team was fined 150,000 yuan for making an elbow swing, and was also banned for three games. So, in the absence of Zhou Qi, how should the Guangdong team deal with Han Dejun?
At the start of the CBA playoffs this time, the CBA official repeatedly ordered that it was necessary to do a good job in the style and discipline of the game! and even held a special meeting, Yao Ming also emphasized at the meeting that each team represents its own city players, and fans and club representatives must set an example, but there are still many bad actions on the stage of this playoffs, and there are still accidents that affect the CBA brand. Zhou Qi's action is obviously emotional, it depends on how the CBA official determines this action.
