"Originally thought that Lü Bu was invincible, but it turns out there's someone even more fierce, whose troops are these?" In the CBA league today, there is such a "fierce" team that has poor results and struggles to win a game, yet they rank high in fouls and malicious fouls (violent fouls), with various minor and dirty actions on the court that strike fear into their opponents...
Let's take a look at the foul statistics of each team in the CBA. As of the 22nd round of the league, the top 5 teams in terms of fouls are as follows: Jiangsu Men's Basketball averages 29.4 fouls per game, ranking 1st; Shandong Men's Basketball averages 28.1 fouls per game, ranking 2nd; Shenzhen Men's Basketball averages 26.9 fouls per game, ranking 3rd; Shanxi Men's Basketball averages 26.8 fouls per game, ranking 4th; Beijing Men's Basketball averages 25.3 fouls per game, ranking 5th.
Now let's take a look at the statistics for malicious fouls (violent fouls) of each team, also as of the 22nd round of the CBA regular season. The top 5 are as follows: Shanxi Men's Basketball has accumulated 14 violent fouls, ranking 1st in the league; Jiangsu Men's Basketball has accumulated 11 violent fouls, ranking 2nd in the league; Guangdong Men's Basketball has accumulated 7 violent fouls, ranking 3rd in the league; Jilin Men's Basketball has accumulated 6 violent fouls, ranking 4th in the league; Qingdao Men's Basketball has accumulated 6 violent fouls, ranking 5th in the league.
Everyone must have noticed that Jiangsu's entire team ranks first in fouls in the league and second in violent fouls, which is indeed too "fierce." Some might say that Shandong's number of fouls and Shanxi's number of violent fouls are also high. But don't overlook the fact that Shanxi is currently ranked 2nd in the standings, and Shandong is ranked 6th, with both teams having excellent records. However, Jiangsu has only 2 wins and 20 losses this season, ranking second to last in the league, and now finds it difficult to secure a victory.
The team ranks second to last in the league, yet first in fouls and second in violent fouls. Poor performance and dirty play have almost become the label of Jiangsu. The defensive actions of Jiangsu players are large, and there are many minor actions on the court, which has become well-known this season.
The most typical example is the away victory over Guangdong, where not only did Jiangsu take the win, but this battle also caused heavy losses to Guangdong. Du Runwang was provoked by the dirty actions of Jiangsu players and punched back, resulting in a multi-game suspension by the league; Jilunwate was stripped of his authority due to dissatisfaction with the referee's decision; Wang Shaojie was injured and missed multiple games after being tackled; Hu Mingxuan suffered a dislocated left shoulder after being tackled and is still in a long recovery period...
Poor performance and dirty play, the 39-year-old young coach Yi Li has really led the team astray.
