Du Feng: If the referee is fair, Zhou Qi will not elbow the opponent. Netizen: Don't make excuses for bad behavior, the elbow strike couldn't be more obvious.
Du Feng's remarks about the relationship between the impartiality of the referee and Zhou Qi's elbow strike did cause a lot of controversy. He seemed to be suggesting that some of the referee's decisions may have affected the players' emotions and behaviors, which indirectly led to Zhou's elbow incident. However, this logic has not been recognized by the majority of netizens.
Netizens generally believe that Zhou Qi's elbow attack is an obvious foul action, and no matter what the referee's decision is, this cannot be an excuse for him to elbow his opponent. In basketball, players should always remain calm and reasonable, respect their opponents and referees, and abide by the rules of the game. If you act aggressively because you are dissatisfied with the referee's decision, then this in itself is a blasphemy against sportsmanship.
In addition, the impartiality of the referees is indeed a crucial factor in the game, but that doesn't mean that players can shirk their responsibilities for it. The referee's decision can be influenced by a variety of factors, including the situation of the game, the limitation of the viewing angle, etc., but the player's behavior is completely controllable. Therefore, it is clearly unreasonable to attribute personal conduct to the referee.
In short, although Du Feng's remarks reflected some problems in the game to a certain extent, they could not be used as an excuse for Zhou Qi's elbow behavior. As professional players and coaches, they should pay more attention to their own behavior and sportsmanship to set an example for their fans. At the same time, the CBA league should also further strengthen the training and management of referees to ensure the fairness and fairness of the game.
