In the CBA game last night, the main centers of the Liaoning team and the Guangdong team were sent off the court for malicious fouls, and may be suspended and other punishments. If Moreland and Zhou Qi, the two main players, are banned because of this, it may affect the trend of the CBA playoffs, which is difficult for both Liaoning and Guangdong teams to accept.
First of all, let's talk about Liaoning team Moreland, he pushed down the Shenzhen team's foreign aid from behind when he was scrambling for rebounds, and was seized of power and sent off the court after receiving consecutive physical fouls + technical fouls. There is no problem with this, it is normal to be punished, you just leave the field normally and return to the locker room to rest and wait for the game to end, the overall strength of the Liaoning team is far superior to the opponent Shenzhen Marco Polo team and has a big lead, so don't worry at all. But Moreland may have been unhappy because he was sent off, and smashed the chairs of the staff on the sidelines when he left the field, and this scene was also clearly and completely filmed in the live broadcast and broadcast simultaneously. At this time, Moreland and the Liaoning team will not only have to impose additional fines, but also may face the risk of being banned.
As a big foreign aid of the Liaoning team, Moreland's tactical status in the team is not very high, but it is very important. Moreland played in 46 games in the regular season this season, including 44 starts, and averaged a double-double of 11 points and 10.8 rebounds in 24.5 minutes per game, which can well share the defensive and rim pressure of the two veterans Han Dejun and Li Xiaoxu. The series against Shenzhen has ended, and if Moreland is banned for 1-2 games, the next game in the semifinals may be against Guangdong, which will make Liaoning fall into passivity, or even lose a home game, it will be worth the loss.
Then let's talk about Zhou Qi, in the third quarter of yesterday's game, Zhou Qi elbowed Li Jinxiao for a foul, and the referee first gave a physical foul, which was escalated to a malicious foul and then expelled from the game after a live video replay, which also directly affected the Guangdong team's internal offense and defense and the overall strength of the team, resulting in a 23-point lead The good situation was reversed, and the series score came to 2-1. Looking back through the video in slow motion, Zhou Qi's elbow swing action really shouldn't be, this is beyond the scope of normal physical confrontation in sports competition, and there is no objection to the punishment and expulsion.
After the game, the Guangsha team sent a message saying that Li Jinxiao had headache, dizziness, and vomiting in the fourth quarter of the game, and was sent to the league's cooperative designated hospital for examination after the game, and is currently undergoing oxygen therapy. Judging from the picture of the Guangsha team, Li Jinxiao is indeed not lightly injured and needs to be hospitalized for observation and treatment, hoping that there will be no serious injuries affecting the next games. Zhou Qi's elbow action is also likely to be upgraded after the game, or even banned for 1-3 games, referring to Huang Rongqi of the Xinjiang team, of course, the CBA league has not given specific follow-up punishment measures.
If Zhou Qi is banned, it is possible for the Guangsha team to complete a 0-2 reversal in the case of Hu Jinqiu's season reimbursement, and the current state of Sun Minghui and Zhao Yanhao of the Guangsha team has been restored, and their performance on the field is getting better and better; Zhu Junlong, Zhao Jiaren and other players on the front line are also very hard, and it is easy for them to break into the inside line of the Guangdong team to complete the score when there is no Zhou Qi, and Zhou Qi's elbow attack may ruin the Hongyuan team's efforts for a season.
Of course, if Moreland is suspended for one game, the problem is just as serious. From the current point of view, the Guangdong team still has a great advantage in the face of Zhejiang Guangsha, and the probability of advancing to the semifinals is also greater, if the Guangdong team advances to the semifinals against Liaoning, the Liaoning team without Moreland will be very empty at this time, even if Zhou Qi is banned for 1 game, he can return to the field at this time, then the inner combination of Zhou Qi + Jordan Bell is in a suppressed state for the Liaoning inner line without Moreland.
Therefore, whether it is Zhou Qi of the Guangdong team or Moreland of the Liaoning team, as long as someone will be banned, it is very likely to affect the trend of the playoffs, and even affect the ownership of the championship. Therefore, when players are on the field, they must control their emotions, otherwise things such as bans and fines will outweigh the losses.
