When it comes to basketball, fans' first impression is a fierce duel between players, and even fight until they are injured. There is also a "special group" on the field, who do not participate in the confrontation, but also have the risk of injury, that is, the referee. Recently, in the CBA regular season, the Xinjiang men's basketball team played against the Shanxi men's basketball team, and the referee On duty, Yan Jun, strained his thigh when he followed up the players.
So there was also a long-awaited warm-up of the substitute referee on the sidelines, yan Jun was replaced by the substitute referee after two rounds, went to the hospital for examination, and he may also miss all the games in the first stage.
<b>Races run to the fullest</b>
<b>It is inevitable that the physical strength will be exhausted</b>
Before the game, it is not only the players but also the referees who are prepared for the event. Because the referee needs to follow the players to run every round, without special circumstances, they have no chance of being "rotated", and it has to be said that the basketball referee is a "physical work".
Not only Yan Jun, there are many referees who have "unexpected situations" on the basketball court.
In the 45th round of the CBA regular season last season, when the Zhejiang game against Jilin was in the third quarter, Ye Nan, one of the three famous whistles of the CBA, limped to the technical platform, and his right hand kept slapping his right thigh, his expression was very painful, and he was finally helped to leave the court.
Also last season, the match between Beijing Control and Guangzhou was carried out to the end of the first quarter, and the referee on duty was unable to continue to referee the game due to a thigh muscle strain of Shi Liang, and finally the substitute referee came on.
Not only the CBA, but also the NBA. During the Jazz's game against the Timberwolves on April 25, the referee on duty, Bill Kennedy, suddenly became unwell, and after a brief exchange with two other referees, he went straight off the court and ended the refereeing work of the game early.
<b>The players rushed fiercely</b>
<b>Sudden encounters fly to the ground</b>
Some referees are injured for their own reasons, but some referees have suffered a "senseless disaster". In the more intense NBA arena, many "black judges" have encountered "dark calculations".
In a Suns game against the Bulls last season, the referee on duty was inadvertently bumped into the bench when Valentine returned to the defense, and was once helped to the sidelines to rest.
In addition to being injured, even against players who are celebrating themselves, referees have times when they are injured by mistake. In the 2010 NBA Finals, Celtics star Pierce was very excited after scoring a key goal, and directly swung his fist at the bottom line to celebrate, but he did not notice that the bottom line referee was standing under the basket, and a hook punch hit the left chin of the referee. The referee was beaten to the point and nearly fell, but did not give any extra instructions to signal that the game would continue normally.
In addition, clashes between players often "affect" the referee. In a game between the Pistons and the Nets in 2018, Pistons center Drummond and Nets center Aisi had a fierce physical confrontation, the referee went forward to persuade but was tragically injured, Aisi punched the referee, and several referees on duty expelled the two players after discussion.
<b>Become a high-risk occupation</b>
<b>Referees need respect</b>
Today's basketball referees have almost become a high-risk industry, in addition to "work injuries", they may also encounter strong men who weigh several times more than themselves at any time. Coupled with the gap in cognition between the team and the referee, the referee group sometimes suffers from "grievances". In order to avoid risks as much as possible, major basketball leagues have also introduced corresponding measures or set up trade unions to protect the rights and interests of referees.
It is reported that before the start of the CBA 2020-2021 season league, the referee office held the 2020-2021 CBA League technical representative and referee training class in Jinan, unified the referee scale, added "referee psychological changes", "adjustment and team communication skills" and "English communication skills between referees and foreign coaches and players, team tactics and player characteristics analysis" three courses, but also with the sports team coaches to understand each other's needs, Improve the level of refereeing from different angles.
NBA referees, like players, have their own referee union. The task of the referee union is to negotiate with the NBA to get the best possible treatment and as much income as possible for the referees.
As the game is intensive, in addition to the players and coaches need to pour a lot of energy, the physical exertion of running for a long time on the referee is also huge. All fans should also respect the referee's labor and sincerely say to every referee who works hard.
