In the 26th round of the CBA regular season, a focus match concluded with Guangdong team narrowly defeating Shandong team at home, avoiding a double-kill by their opponents in this season's regular season and also ending their five-game winning streak. The victory was achieved through the collective determination and fighting spirit of the Guangdong players, even when facing an unfavorable situation of five against eight, they managed to defend their home court.
Guangdong won the game by playing well in the third quarter and also due to Du Feng's miraculous substitutions in the fourth quarter. In the second half, Guangdong started with a 14-0 run, not only reversing the颓势of the first half but also gaining a significant advantage in morale. However, there was a minor incident in the second half where Xu Jie almost got injured by the opponent's foreign aid.
During one of Shandong's offensive plays, there was a pick-and-roll tactic between two foreign aids, after which Xu Jie was intentionally struck and retaliated by Shandong's foreign aid Chris, who pushed him heavily onto the floor. After reviewing the video replay, the referee only gave Chris a technical foul, which is simply helping the tyrant in the CBA.
From the slow-motion replay, it is clear that Shandong's foreign aid Chris had a deliberate retaliatory action, which is very malicious. Such an intentional action to injure someone was only judged as a technical foul without a disqualification expulsion, which can only mean that the referee did not give Guangdong the home whistle.
Fortunately, Guangdong won the game, and Xu Jie used his performance and data to slap the face of Shandong and the referees. In recent CBA regular season games, various small incidents have occurred continuously, and the controversial refereeing has been questioned. During the game, the referees often do not blow the whistle in time, leading to some avoidable conflicts on the court.
Therefore, the referees should also reflect on this game, especially for actions with a retaliatory nature by the players, they must be severely punished. It is unknown whether the CBA company will issue additional fines, but at least Chris' action, the technical foul penalty, is definitely a wrong judgment.
