On the evening of April 23, Beijing time, the CBA playoffs 1/4 finals ended two key battles, the defending champion Liaoning men's basketball team defeated Shenzhen 102-80 away, and then swept the opponent 3-0, and the Liaoning basketball team has entered the playoff semifinals for 10 consecutive seasons in history!
In another game, the Guangdong men's basketball team was reversed by the Guangsha team 109-102 when leading by up to 23 points, so far Guangsha chased the score to 1-2, and the fourth game between the two sides was still played at the home of Guangsha on the evening of the 25th.
In these two games, players were expelled from the game, Liao Basketball big foreign aid Moreland had a hugging action when defending Shenzhen team's foreign aid Sallinger, and the referee gave Moreland a physical foul through video replay, plus a previous technical foul, so far Moreland was expelled from the game.
On the way out of the game, Moreland's behavior of smashing the chair in anger is likely to be punished by the CBA league, due to the nature of Moreland's foul and the behavior of throwing the chair after the game, there is a high probability that he will be fined and banned from the game.
After all, Moreland's pushing and shoving action against Sallinger was not enough to cause substantial injury to the opponent, and the impact of smashing the chair was much smaller than the adverse impact of deliberately hurting people on the playing field.
However, with 7 minutes and 04 seconds left in the third quarter between Guangdong and Guangsha, Zhou Qi deliberately elbowed Li Jinxiao's head in the process of fighting for the ball with Guangsha player Li Jinxiao, and the referee immediately punished Zhou Qi for a physical foul.
Later, under the strong resistance of Guangsha head coach Wang Bo, the referee upgraded the penalty of Zhou Qi's actions after watching the video replay, and directly expelled him from the game, and there is no controversy about such a punishment.
At that time, Zhou Qi was in the process of attacking, Li Jinxiao's defense was very good, and he had already snatched the ball from Zhou Qi's hands, and Zhou Qi, who lost the ball, directly swung his elbow and hit Li Jinxiao's head, who staggered and leaned on the billboard for a long time.
And after the referee watched the video replay and expelled Zhou Qi from the game, Zhou Qi even reasoned with the referee, Zhou Qi himself should be well aware of the danger of this action, in a sentence once said by the Guangdong Men's Basketball Club: There should be no such action in basketball games.
According to the previous CBA league for Xinjiang men's basketball player Huang Rongqi's similar elbow action, he was banned for 3 games and fined 150,000 yuan, Zhou Qi's punishment bottom line is at least this standard, after all, Huang Rongqi only waved his elbow at that time, and did not cause substantial damage to the opposing player.
On the other hand, Zhou Qi's actions have caused very serious injuries to Li Jinxiao, although Li Jinxiao finished the whole game after the game, but after the game, Li Jinxiao still felt very unwell, and urgently went to the hospital late at night for examination.
Judging from the situation described after being admitted to the hospital, Li Jinxiao had symptoms of dizziness and vomiting, which is enough to prove how strong Zhou Qi's elbow hit was at that time, which caused quite serious consequences at present! If such an action is not done by the CBA, then Huang Rongqi's punishment before is indeed too unjust, where is the fairness?
To sum up, Zhou Qi's ban can be regarded as a certainty, and it is at least 3 games, after all, the consequences of Zhou Qi's elbow action are much more serious than Huang Rongqi's action.
In this way, it will be very difficult for Du Feng, if Du Feng waits for Zhou Qi to come back from the ban, then he will lose Guangsha in the next game, and strive to win Guangsha in the fifth home game! In this way, when he faces the defending champion Liao Basket in the next semi-finals, Zhou Qi will only have one ban left (provided that it is still banned for 3 games).
This is a bet for Du Feng, if Guangsha wins Guangdong again at home, even if the fifth game returns to Guangdong's home stadium, the Guangdong team without Zhou Qi will definitely not be 100% sure that it will be able to win the Guangsha team, such a risky choice will indeed make Du Feng very difficult.
I have to say that the current situation of the Guangdong men's basketball team has been made very passive by Zhou Qi's elbow. If you lose to Guangsha again, it is very likely to be eliminated in the decisive game, and the Guangdong team has missed the final four of the playoffs for two consecutive seasons, and the Guangdong Men's Basketball Club will definitely be unacceptable.
If you fight for Guangsha and eliminate the opponent with a big score of 3-1, it will be too difficult to defeat the Liaoning team without a cycle. From the current point of view, Zhou Qi's final punishment result may become the key to Du Feng's final choice, let's wait and see.
