In the Guangdong home court, amidst a chorus of boos and shouts of "black whistle," the referees inexplicably awarded Beikong four free throws in the final moments of the game, nearly helping their opponents defeat Guangdong. The most detestable incident occurred when Xu Xin made a shot, and Beikong men's basketball committed a foul. If the referees had made a fair call, the game should have ended much earlier.
For three consecutive games, Guangdong men's basketball team has faced controversial refereeing decisions, feeling no sense of fairness in their home court. Even Chen Haitao, the owner of Guangdong, personally intervened during the intense match against Qingdao. However, this had no effect. The referees continued to act as they pleased, with Guangdong being clearly targeted.
During the intense battle against Beikong, with only 10.2 seconds remaining, the referees made three consecutive incorrect calls that almost affected the outcome of the game. Xu Jie, with both teams tied at 97, took control of the ball and was pressing time to secure Guangdong's position with a three-pointer. Facing Chen Guohao's defense, Xu Jie missed the shot completely. Under the basket, Xu Xin and Shen Zijie were entangled, with Shen Zijie grabbing Xu Xin's arm. Then Shen Zijie fell, and Guangdong was called for a foul.
This free throw was quite fatal; if Shen Zijie had made both shots, Guangdong's mentality would have been completely different. After Shen Zijie missed both free throws, Zhang Fan entered the line early to grab the rebound, which was a clear violation. The referees probably thought two free throws weren't enough insurance, so they arranged another two free throws for Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan only made one shot, allowing Beikong to overtake Guangdong by one point. Then a highly controversial call occurred on the court. Guangdong's sideline ball tactic failed, and the ball almost got intercepted by Shen Zijie. With Wat's efforts, the ball was finally obtained by Xu Xin. And in the moment he shot, Zhu Songwei, responsible for grabbing rebounds under the basket, pushed Xu Jie out of fear of being outrebounded by him.
This was a foul in an off-ball state, occurring after Xu Xin's shot. Xu Xin made the shot steadily, and the referees should have pursued Zhu Songwei for pushing. Unfortunately, the referees still chose to ignore it. Otherwise, Guangdong could have already won the game without having to worry about Zhang Fan's subsequent layup causing them a cold sweat.
In the last moments of the game, within just 10 seconds, the referees repeatedly made wrong and missed calls. Is this due to inadequate professional standards or intentional actions? The CBA company should thoroughly investigate. Recently, Guangdong men's basketball team has always been subjected to unfair treatment by referees. The team should promptly appeal and not allow these referees to continue targeting them.
In 10 seconds, the referees gave Beikong four free throws and even created a game-winning opportunity. Unfortunately, Beikong couldn't seize it and ultimately lost by one point. Guangdong, at home, was given a scare by their opponents. At the same time, Guangdong was also furious about the ridiculous refereeing.
Even Hai Ge, watching the game against Qingdao, was so angry that he couldn't sit still and proactively approached to discuss the refereeing standards. The referees turned the home court into an away court, which is indeed too outrageous. Fortunately, Guangdong's strength is strong enough to prevent miscarriages of justice. Winning the game wouldn't attract much attention, but if the outcome is affected by the referees' calls, it is believed that the refereeing team will face public criticism and also draw the attention of the CBA!
