Translation:
107-105, Shanxi men's basketball team defeated the league leader Guangsha team at home, continuing their dark horse characteristics this season. The game was very fierce and close, with both sides fighting until the last moment. In the key moments, it's about the star players, and Diyaluo's performance was better than Sun Minghui's, which is why Shanxi won. However, the biggest topic of this game was Zhang Ning. He received another technical foul and a flagrant foul (accumulating 7 times, first in the league), resulting in his ejection. Although the team won, he himself was criticized by fans and considered to be the next Wang Xiaohui. Let's listen to how media experts evaluate this.
Guangdong media: "For Zhang Ning, whether he uses this method to give himself psychological suggestions or just to fight for a breath, it's actually not beneficial for him. He is inherently kind, and playing in this way is actually against his instincts. He must know that doing so is wrong. When he was penalized and sent off, everyone could clearly see his frustration. Body language doesn't lie. Thinking that once his anger is smooth, the pressure will go away. But in fact, doing so can only take away part of the pressure, while the guilt in his subconscious will gradually accumulate, forming new pressure. This pressure will eventually explode one day. It's just a matter of time. Playing basketball is just a game, there's no need to push yourself to such an extent. There are many ways to release pressure, try a different approach, it's still possible to get through."
Beijing media: "Hu Jinqiu fell hard, and Zhang Ning's arm-clamping action during the offense was called a flagrant foul by the referee, added to a previous technical foul, he was directly ejected from the game."
Fans: "This kid really plays smartly and works hard, but he's also really dirty." "Such actions can seriously injure Dachun, they really shouldn't happen." "National team teammates are so harsh on each other, you can imagine how they treat others." "This action is quite simple, simply a disabling move." "There's no way to justify it, completely unnecessary actions. As a Shanxi fan, I feel it's unnecessary. Zhang Ning must pay attention to controlling his emotions and actions in the future!"
This is Zhang Ning's seventh flagrant foul this season, two more and he will be suspended for three games. Hopefully, it won't happen again. If it does, it will cause great harm to both him and the team. Shanxi team is doing so well, with hopes of winning the championship, don't let these dirty behaviors affect them.
