Preamble:
In recent years, Chinese basketball has developed rapidly in China, and the level of competition and spectacle of leagues at all levels have been continuously improved, attracting more and more spectators and fans. However, in basketball games, the referee's decision often becomes the focus of heated discussions and disputes, especially in some key games, and the controversial decision has also become an important factor affecting the outcome of the game.
In the just-concluded CBA playoffs 1/4 finals, in the game between the Guangdong men's basketball team and the Guangsha men's basketball team, there was a controversial power-grabbing foul penalty incident, and this penalty also directly affected the result of the game.
1. The occurrence of controversial penalty incidents
1. Zhou Qi's power-grabbing foul
In the CBA playoffs, the match between the Guangdong men's basketball team and the Guangsha men's basketball team can be said to be the focus of much anticipation.
In such a high-profile game, there was naturally a fierce confrontation and contention, and at the end of the third quarter of the game, there was a controversial power-grabbing foul. At that time, the score was very close, both sides hoped to be able to take the lead through their own offense, Zhou Qi, as an important member of the Guangdong team, showed strong awareness and physical fitness in the rebounding scramble, successfully blocked the opposing players behind him, and created a favorable rebounding position for himself.
However, in this process, the referee awarded Zhou Qi a foul, and it was a power-grabbing foul, which had a very big impact on the game situation of the Guangdong team, and also made the coaches and players on the scene question the referee's decision.
2. The issues behind the controversial decision
When the referee made such a penalty, the atmosphere on the scene can be said to be very tense, whether it is the coaching staff of the Guangdong team or the players, they have expressed great dissatisfaction with such a penalty, they think that the referee's penalty has obvious problems, can not fairly maintain the fairness of the game.
Judging from the slow-motion replay, although Zhou Qi did have a certain amount of physical contact in the process of competing for rebounds, such a physical confrontation was not excessive in a basketball game, and his actions did not obviously push the other party, but more to protect his rebounding rights.
Therefore, the referee awarded him a foul at this time, obviously did not make an objective and fair judgment, but was too inclined to the interests of the other party, and such a penalty is also easy for people to misunderstand, thinking that the referee deliberately helped a certain party in the game, which affected the fairness and enjoyment of the whole game.
2. The fairness of the referee's decision
1. Referee's responsibility and pressure
In any sports game, the referee's decision is of great significance, they not only need to have a deep understanding of the rules of the game, but also need to make fair and objective judgments to maintain the fairness and impartiality of the game, which is not an easy thing for any referee.
Especially in some high-level games, the work pressure of referees is very high, they need to make a variety of judgments in a very short time, and also have to bear all kinds of doubts and pressures from the audience, coaching staff and players, which puts forward very high requirements for the psychological quality and professional ability of referees.
2. Fair penalty standards
Impartiality can be said to be the most important criterion for the referee's decision, no matter which participating team, it is hoped that the referee can make a fair and objective judgment, and there is no favoritism and help in the game.
Therefore, when awarding key penalties such as power-grabbing fouls, referees should be more cautious and rational, they need to take into account the actual situation of the game, and cannot only focus on the impact of the game result, but ignore the fairness and justice of the entire game.
For Zhou Qi's foul, whether the referee fully understands the actual situation of the game before making a penalty, and whether there is a clear video playback to help him make a judgment, these are very important factors, and they are also directly related to the fairness and reasonableness of the referee's punishment.
3. The application of technical assistance in referees
1. The importance of video assistant referees
In football matches, we often see technical aids such as VAR being used in referees, which can help referees better judge the controversy in the game through video playback from various angles, and also provide very strong evidence and support for referees.
Similarly, in basketball games, similar technical aids can also be appropriately introduced, and referees can watch the replay of suspected fouls through video assistant referees, and observe every detail of the game from different angles and perspectives, so as to make more fair and reasonable judgments and avoid some obvious misjudgments and unfair penalties.
Especially in some key games, the referee's judgment directly affects the result of the game, and the team and fans have very high requirements for the referee, at this time, technical assistance can well ensure the fairness and fairness of the game, but also reduce some subjective factors of the referee, to avoid some unnecessary disputes and misunderstandings.
2. Referee training and rule presentation
In addition to the application of technical assistance, the training of referees and the promotion of rules are also very important, in the real basketball game, referees need to have a very in-depth understanding of the rules of the game, but also need to continue to learn and improve their professional ability, in the application and understanding of some rules, there can be no ambiguity and ambiguity.
At the same time, referees also need to learn how to deal with various complex situations in the game, how to communicate and communicate effectively with the players and coaching staff, how to maintain their own calm and impartiality, and be able to gain the respect and understanding of the audience and players in the process of enforcing the game.
Through the promotion and training of the rules, the referees can better integrate the spirit of the rules into their own law enforcement work, and can also better cooperate and communicate with other referees, make consistent judgments in the game, and present a truly fair and fair sports feast for the audience and the participating teams.
Epilogue:
The referee's decision determines the fairness and enjoyment of the whole game, and any controversial decision will trigger extensive discussion and thinking after the game, and these discussions can also stimulate us to think more about the basketball game, including the role of the referee, the improvement of the rules and the application of technical assistance.
Through such discussions and reflections, I believe that in the future basketball games, the work of referees will be more and more valued, and will be better developed and improved, and the basketball game itself will become a more pure and beautiful sports competition, bringing more joy and emotion to the audience and fans.
