On May 17th, Beijing time, the second game of the CBA finals started tonight, it is reported that the Asian Basketball Federation once again sent a third foreign referee to support the CBA blowing penalty, the international referee from Indonesia will become the referee of tonight's finals, if you add the previous two Korean referees, there may even be three foreign referees blowing the CBA finals together, Liaoning and Xinjiang finals met for the first time, and indeed created many topics and records, CBA this time in the selection of referees is indeed going to create a precedent.
As early as before the start of the playoffs, the CBA sought cooperation with the Asian Basketball Federation through the Chinese Basketball Association, that is, foreign referees came in to help improve the blowing penalties of the Chinese league, and at the same time promote the integration and exchange between the CBA league and the world, and improve the overall tactical awareness and confrontation scale of the Chinese men's basketball team to be more in line with the world.
From the beginning of the semi-finals of the Liaoyue War, the Korean referee Li Jinghuan began to blow the penalty, and caused unanimous praise from the outside world, he gave a quick and neat foul ruling in terms of hand movements and violations of the cylinder, which domestic referees have missed too many whistles in the past. Later, another Korean referee, Park Kyung-jin, also came to the CBA, and their blowing penalty in the Jiangliao G1 game was highly evaluated, which was completely different from the blowing score of the local referee after the game in the past.
It is worth mentioning that the new Indonesian referee Gardri is the referee on duty when the Chinese men's basketball team lost to Japan in February!
