On April 23, Beijing time, the G3 of Guangdong Hongyuan and Zhejiang Guangsha ended in an intriguing way. Guangdong Hongyuan, who once had a 23-point lead, quickly collapsed after the interior core Zhou Qi was ejected, and was finally reversed by the opponent 102-109. For Hongyuan, who has three match points, it doesn't seem unacceptable to lose a game at the opponent's home stadium, but Zhou Qi was blown to seize power, and there is even a danger of being banned after the game, which is what Zhu Fangyu and Du Feng need to worry about the most. So what kind of punishment will the CBA company impose on Zhou Qi's action? Interestingly, before this game, Xinjiang and Guangzhou had already "set the rules" for everyone.
In the playoffs between Xinjiang and Guangzhou, fierce clashes broke out between the two sides, and Huang Rongqi of the Xinjiang men's basketball team "rushed to the championship and was angry as a teammate", and was caught by the referee and directly expelled from the game. Also on the 23rd, the CBA company immediately issued an announcement to impose a 3-game suspension and a fine of 150,000 yuan on Huang Rongqi. Zhou Qi's action is obviously more "out of line" than Huang Rongqi, after all, Zhou Qi's elbow hit the face of Guangsha player Li Jinxiao firmly, and it happened under the referee's nose. Referring to the rules set by the CBA company before, a three-game ban should be the standard.
However, it should be noted that although Zhou Qi's action is indeed bad, the specific situation also needs to be analyzed. He neither caused a conflict on the court, nor did he "punch hard" after the dead ball, Zhou Qi's action was made in a live state, according to the relevant rules, the punishment for the action should stop at the end of the round, Zhou Qi was expelled from the championship, which is already the most severe punishment. Of course, the CBA company can definitely impose additional penalties according to the severity of this action, but the three-game ban is definitely over, and the ban of about one game should be more appropriate.
Even in the best case, Zhou Qi is afraid that he will be banned for one game, which is definitely bad news for Hongyuan, who aims to win or lose in the semifinals with Liao Basket. But then again, Hongyuan lost this game, and the next game just "washed away" Zhou Qi's ban, which may also be the reason why Du Feng still has a calm face and a calm face after the team loses!
