The CBA playoffs will usher in a blockbuster game this evening, and the fifth game of the Liaoyue battle will be played at 19:35 this evening, this game is crucial for both sides, the team is currently tied 2:2, and losing means being eliminated.
Tonight's game is about to be played at the home of the Liaoning team, and the referee lineup for this game has been exposed. It is reported that this match will be a combination of domestic referees and two foreign referees. The domestic referee is the chief referee, and then the two foreign referees are the first referee and the second referee.
The domestic referee is a referee called Duan Zhu, and the international referee is the referee Lee Kyung-hwan, who has played two semi-finals in the CBA before, and this game will also introduce another foreign referee, who is also a Korean referee, named Park Kyung-jin.
In order to avoid the situation that domestic referees would have some selfish distractions, the CBA league had the idea of introducing foreign referees in the semifinals and finals. But so far, only one South Korean referee, Lee Kyung-hwan, has been brought in, and he has blown two games against Liaoyue and Zhejiang and Xinjiang in the semi-finals.
Many fans are very dissatisfied with the domestic referees, for example, in the last game, the fans of the Guangdong team were very dissatisfied with the domestic referee Guo Nan, thinking that he was very biased towards the Liaoning team in the game, and was indifferent to some fouls of the Liaoning team, and blew Xu Jie three fouls as soon as he came up, which made the entire Guangdong team fall into a passive situation, and it was also the main culprit of the Guangdong team's loss.
Tonight's CBA semifinals are such an important game, it seems that the CBA league is also painstaking, introducing two foreign referees to blow the game, I believe the fans will definitely not have much opinion, after all, foreign referees have nothing to do with domestic clubs, and they can ensure a fair blowing game on the court.
The referee is very important to the team's victory or defeat, because every critical blow will cause the direction of the game to be deflected, and only by maintaining a fair blow can the game not appear so protracted and biased.
The game of basketball should be handed over to the players to control the game, and the role of the referee is to judge the offense and defense of each round fairly on the court.
I believe that this time the arrangement of the CBA league should be Liaoning fans and Guangdong fans have no great opinions, Guangdong fans are most afraid of referee Guo Nan, Liaoning fans are most afraid of referee Yan Jun, and this time they happened to avoid these two referees.
I believe that the psychological pressure of the referee is also very high in this high-profile game, but as long as fairness and objectivity can be maintained, I believe that the fans will not have so many discordant voices after the game.
Who will make it to the finals? Everything will not be known tonight until after the start of the game at 19:35.
