In the match between Xinjiang and Shandong, Coach Liu Wei's outburst on the sidelines has caused quite a stir, shaking up the entire CBA. This incident, while not particularly significant in itself, does shed light on some of the issues within our basketball circle.
When Liu Wei shouted those words at Yu Dehao from the sidelines, the entire Xinjiang team's bench was stunned. The game was in full swing, and no one expected the coach to say something like that. The staff on the sidelines looked at each other, unsure whether they should step in to stop him.
Yu Dehao's reaction to this was particularly intriguing. He was taken aback for a moment before shouting something at the referee, who completely ignored him. This kind of situation would leave anyone fuming.
As the game entered its final minutes, the atmosphere on the court had completely changed. The players were playing with extra intensity, even teammates who usually joked around became unusually serious. The fans on the sidelines held their breath as they watched the changes on the court.
At the moment Yu Dehao received the pass from his teammate, he just happened to be standing in the corner position right in front of Liu Wei. Without much adjustment, he raised his hand and shot the ball, drawing a beautiful arc.
After the ball went in, Yu Dehao's response caught everyone off guard. He rushed in front of his teammates, jumping and celebrating as if to challenge Liu Wei, with his actions saying, "I can do it, but you can't."
The Shandong team's bench all stood up, jumping and celebrating this three-pointer, which left the Xinjiang players feeling particularly uncomfortable, as no one likes to see their head coach being humiliated like this.
The atmosphere on the court was already very tense at that time, yet the referee turned a blind eye to Liu Wei's remarks, leaving many people incredulous. In the NBA, a situation like this would definitely result in a technical foul.
The sideline reporters were discussing this matter, saying that the referee's tolerance was too great. If this happened in another league, the game would have been stopped long ago, but in the CBA, it seems to have become commonplace.
Comments on social media overwhelmingly criticized Liu Wei, with many believing that a coach should not say such things. This is not just an issue of quality but also of professional ethics.
Some fans even dug up old videos, saying that this was not the first time Liu Wei had acted like this. There were similar situations before, just not as severe as this time, which makes people question his coaching abilities.
After this game, the CBA League should re-examine its management system. It cannot allow such incidents to keep happening, as it is detrimental to the development of the league.
Many professionals are discussing this issue, saying that a complete punishment mechanism should be established. Coaches and players should not be allowed to say whatever they want; there must be rules governing their behavior on the court.
Such incidents are not uncommon on the basketball court, but as the head coach of a professional league, Liu Wei's performance is indeed disappointing. He should set an example instead of leading the way in disrupting the order of the game.
It's normal to have wins and losses on the court, but what's more important is the things beyond that, such as mutual respect and professionalism. These are the foundations upon which a league can develop healthily.
