For a moment, you look at the game and think: Did this referee forget to bring his eyes? I have to say that the G1 battle between Liaoning and Guangdong is really exciting and makes people's scalps tingle. The performance of the Liaoning team is like a catfish crossing the river, unstoppable. And what about the Guangdong team? Hey, for them, this game is simply a disaster live broadcast.
Zhang Zhenlin, Han Dejun, and Fu Hao of the Liaoning team really swept thousands of troops on the court, and looking at their momentum under the basket of the Guangdong team, I almost thought that the TV picture was made of special effects. Guangdong's Hu Mingxuan and Xu Jie tried their best on the outside to try to ignite the spark of counterattack, but it was clear that they were looking forward to the inside of the Liaoning team.
When the game entered the third quarter, there was no suspense in this so-called "Liaoyue War". The Guangdong team was defeated inside and outside, and the three-point shot was also inaccurate, and the overall tactics seemed to have been completely interpreted by the Liaoning team. But that's not the most dramatic part. In the fourth quarter of the game, Liaoning had a big lead, but the Guangdong team still did not give up, which was commendable, but it caused a series of turmoil.
Hu Mingxuan accidentally lost his balance in a steal, and his leg unfortunately kicked Liaoning team Zhao Jiwei in the face. The scene was very chaotic for a while, and the referee Cui Zhexiong's handling caused controversy, and he awarded an ordinary foul, which directly made Liaoning coach Yang Ming angry. Yang Ming asked the referee to check the replay, but Cui Zhexiong was originally unwilling, and finally reluctantly watched the video at Yang Ming's insistence.
After the video was played, the referee changed the decision to a physical foul. This scene made Du Feng of the Guangdong team also full of question marks, he was also angry at Zhao Jiwei's actions, but when he saw Zhao Jiwei injured, his emotions were also mixed. It's not just a basketball game, it's more like a battle of fairness and rules.
After the game, the referee's performance became a hot topic. Not for the first time, the CBA's refereeing issue has been mentioned repeatedly, especially in such a high-profile game, where every penalty can change the course of the game. For example, Li Yanzhe, a young player of the Guangdong team, was fouled by Fogg in a fast attack, and the referee only gave an ordinary foul, which made Du Feng and Xu Jie dissatisfied, and they repeatedly asked to see the replay, but the referee team insisted on the original decision.
In addition, there were several obvious misjudgments in the game, such as Moreland's three-point foul on Hu Mingxuan, which was still penalized after the replay showed very limited interference, and Moreland was quite unhappy with this. These questions gradually accumulate, and people have to ask a question: should our referees be more professional?
It's no wonder that the Basketball Association decided to bring in foreign referees before the game. In the face of the highest level of the domestic league, what we need is a level of refereeing that can match it. The introduction of foreign referees is not only to improve the professionalism and fairness of judgments, but also a deep reflection on our own refereeing system. Such a decision is obviously a helpless move by the Basketball Association after paying out of pocket, but it is also a very necessary step.
In this regard, I have a question for you: Do you think the introduction of foreign referees can really solve the referee problem in the CBA?
