A technical foul on Moteyunas was cancelled for a fake fall.
On the morning of February 2, the CBA released on its official website the "Announcement on the Reconsideration of Xinjiang Elite Player Donatas Motelunas' Appeal for Technical Fouls", which clearly stated: The CBA League Referee Office organized an expert reconsideration team to review, and the expert reconsideration team determined that Donatas Motelyunus' act of moving sideways to block the side shoulder was a blocking foul, and the on-site referee was incorrect in the technical foul pronounced by the referee for cheating fouls, and Donatas Motelunas appealed successfully.
Although there are many more official expressions of the CBA, the core is actually a sentence: Motai Yunus did not fake the fall, and the judgment of the referee on duty was wrong! Although the course of the game will not be changed because of this, the technical fouls he was punished for will not accumulate in the "TUD statistics" because of the success of the complaint. However, for Motai Yunas, the Xinjiang men's basketball team and even the entire CBA, the technical foul being cancelled this time may have a more far-reaching significance in allowing referees to be more cautious in enforcing the law in the future.
The technical foul that Motai Yunas "ate" because he was found to be a fake fall appeared in the Xinjiang men's basketball team's 112-101 victory over the Shanxi men's basketball team at noon on the 1st. At the end of the third quarter with 1 minute and 49 seconds left, Motai Yunus, who was standing on Yan Pengfei's layup route, fell to the ground after colliding with Yan Pengfei, and the referee decisively gave Motai Yunas a "T".
Adi Jiang also "avenged" Moteyunas after the game.
The penalty not only made the Xinjiang men's basketball team extremely dissatisfied at the time, but also coach Adi Jiang also made a "long speech" about the penalty after the game, and the meaning expressed by Adi Jiang mainly has two layers, one of which is, "How can Motai Yunus be a fake fall"; second, I hope that the referee will not be too dogmatic in the process of blowing the penalty game, and do not let the team pay for the (referee's) misjudgment.
With the success of Moteyunus's appeal, the referee who enforced the game obviously had a misjudgment, although it did not affect the outcome of the game, but looking back at the recent CBA games, the debatable fake wrestling penalty is actually quite a lot.
Just before Motai Yunas was blown a fake fall, Yu Dehao of the Xinjiang men's basketball team was also punished with a fake fall (did not fall to the ground) in the process of defending Zhou Zhandong, in fact, this penalty is not only debatable, but also becomes the root cause of Yu Dehao's subsequent two technical fouls after a verbal altercation with the original coach.
Still on the field on the 1st, Zhejiang Guangsha 125-121 narrowly won the Shandong men's basketball team, Chen Peidong was also punished with a fake fall when defending Zhao Yanhao, which also led to Chen Peidong's personal accumulation of 6 fouls to leave the game; on January 31, the Beijing men's basketball team lost 102-105 to the Jilin men's basketball team, and after The Beijing men's basketball team's Wang Xiaohui and Li Muhao were successively blown off, it also triggered dissatisfaction with the Beijing men's basketball team - the "last 2 minutes of the referee report" released by the CBA shows that The referee also had a misjudgment in favor of the Beijing men's basketball team in the final moments of the game.
More similar to Motai Yunas undoubtedly appeared in the game of the Zhejiang men's basketball team's 115-111 victory over the Shenzhen men's basketball team on the evening of January 30. At the end of the second quarter with 6 minutes and 16 seconds left, Lan Jie Borg, who was in the same defensive action as Motai Yunas when defending Gu Quan's layup, was also blown off after falling to the ground, which also made the Zhejiang men's basketball team extremely dissatisfied - however, the Zhejiang men's basketball team did not appeal for this.
In just the last few game days, there have been so many debatable fake wrestling penalties, and there are also successful cases of appeals, so CBA referees may really need to re-examine their own criteria for determining fake wrestling – of course, the referees may also need to look at the same number of corporal fouls.
