The 2024 CBA Finals is about to start, and the series G1 is scheduled for May 15, with Liaoning and Xinjiang teams staging encounters, and the two teams will meet each other for the first time on the finals stage, which is also very exciting. On May 14, the CBA officially issued a statement, and the two teams in Xinjiang and Liaoning responded one after another, and also signed a letter of commitment, promising to respect the opponent, the referee, and the fans.
The Liaoning team and the Xinjiang team issued a letter of commitment at almost the same time to respond to the call of the CBA, mainly including three aspects. First, consciously abide by the law, follow public order and good customs, resist any uncivilized behavior, and resist vulgar words and deeds. Second, abide by the etiquette of watching the game, treat wins and losses rationally, and respect the league, opponents, and referees. Third, fans watch the game rationally and respect each other.
The words in the CBA's official statement are impressive, "We are opponents on the court, but not enemies in life, only the strongest opponents and the most sincere fans can present the strongest competition, in order to achieve the greatest finals and the most touching finals." It's really good to say that the two teams participating in the finals are indeed opponents, but they are not enemies in life, and they don't have to go toe-to-toe.
The reason why the CBA official issued a proposal before the finals is mainly because of the semi-finals of the Liaoyue War, the contradiction between the two sides is too big, not only in the arena, when Du Feng and Yang Ming shook hands after the game, they were like enemies, each looked at each other unpleasantly, and players like Zhang Zhenlin , Xu Jie and other players were subjected to cyber violence, and Zhu Fangyu was abused by Liaoning home fans in the stadium audience. What happened in these CBA playoffs made people feel speechless.
Zhang Zhenlin is the hope of the Chinese men's basketball team, but in this round of the Liaoyue war series, it can be said that he is the cause of the conflict, so that the two teams are tense from the first game, resulting in conflicts in almost every game in the following games, and the fans are not very rational, they have supported their home team, and they are trash talk to the opponent.
In the semifinals G1 between Liaoning and Guangdong, after Zhang Zhenlin dunked successfully, he angrily sprayed Guangdong teenager Xu Xin, and it was obvious from the lip shape that the trash talk was too ugly, Xu Xin did not rush to theorize and restrained his emotions. In order to vent Xu Xin's anger, Xu Jie scored in the defense of Zhang Zhenlin in the series G2, and then he angrily sprayed gold and ate T, and the contradiction between the two sides further deepened. After the game, Xu Jie received a technical foul, but Zhang Zhenlin did not eat T, which also caused heated discussions among fans.
And Zhu Fangyu, the general manager of the Guangdong team, was abused by the Liaoning home fans, and there were also online rumors that the Guangdong female fans were treated roughly at the home stadium of Liaoning today (it was finally confirmed that the Guangdong female fans may often release some news unfavorable to the away team), which further deepened the "hatred" of Liaoning and Guangdong. In fact, in G3 and G4, Guangdong home fans used "Suo Hi Hi" to attack Liaoning players and coaches, and then this word began to be known by more fans. In the semi-finals of the G5 battle of life and death, before the game, Zhu Fangyu and Du Feng blamed Zhou Qi's injury on the Liaoning players.
There are so many stories in the semi-finals of Liaoyue, in fact, the reason is that Zhang Zhenlin did not control his emotions well, he should not spray the teenager Xu Xin, it is indeed a bit excessive, and this is also the beginning of the outbreak of contradictions between the two sides. But it is undeniable that Liaoning and Guangdong are old enemies, and the players must see each other as a roadblock on the road to the championship, and they both want to win. The proposal of the CBA, Liaoning team, and Xinjiang team is estimated to make Jin Jin sit still, he should reflect and learn a lesson, and when it comes to the finals, he must be more rational, if he still goes up, it will also cause dissatisfaction among Xinjiang fans.
Before the start of the finals, the CBA asked Liaoning Xinjiang to sign a letter of commitment, which is also prepared, even if the players on both sides have emotions, they will strictly abide by the commitment, otherwise they will definitely be punished and blamed.
