Shanghai's 16-game winning streak has finally come to an end with a 114-117 loss to the reigning champions Liaoning. In fact, Shanghai may have mentally prepared for defeat by resting Lofton (rotational rest). Moreover, for the current Shanghai men's basketball team, losing or winning a game does not have much of an impact, as qualifying for the playoffs is already a certainty. However, the course of the game was unacceptable to many. Liaoning played well in the first three quarters, while Shanghai fought back bravely despite being at a disadvantage. In particular, foreign player Bradso showed great vigor against Liaoning, with a high shooting accuracy. However, in the fourth quarter, the referee's multiple calls sparked controversy. For example, Bradso was called for a foul on Yan Shouqi, and then during their entanglement, Bradso was judged to have dived. Due to his previous record of unsportsmanlike fouls, Bradso was directly ejected from the game. Before leaving the court, Bradso had made 10 out of 13 shots, scoring 28 points, grabbing 4 rebounds, making 13 assists, with 2 steals and 1 block, and carrying 5 fouls, including multiple offensive fouls. In fact, even if Bradso had not been judged to have dived, he would have been quickly benched based on the frequency of the referee's foul calls. After Bradso's departure, Shanghai still showed great tenacity, even forcing the defending champions into a difficult position for a period of time. It was only after Foger scored four consecutive points that the crisis was resolved, and Shanghai's last attempt at a tying three-pointer missed,…

On January 15th, Beijing time, the 31st round of CBA regular season continued. In a recently concluded match, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team defeated Shanghai Men's Basketball Team 117-114 at home, ending the latter's 16-game winning streak. A simple review of the game: I personally believe that this match was absolutely at the level of a playoff game. Liaoning Men's Basketball Team started with accurate outside shooting, quickly opening up a double-digit lead, but Shanghai Men's Basketball Team showed great tenacity and soon found their offensive rhythm in the second and third quarters, leveling the score. Entering the decisive fourth quarter, Shanghai Men's Basketball Team's super foreign aid, Bradso, was ejected by the referee for accumulating one unsportsmanlike foul and one technical foul. This led to Shanghai Men's Basketball Team losing a major offensive core. Li Tianrong, who was organizing the offense, seemed somewhat inexperienced, and his key shots were blocked by Li Xiaoxu. Ultimately, Li Hongquan failed to make a three-pointer, and Shanghai Men's Basketball Team suffered a narrow defeat. Compared to the outcome of the game, fans discussed more about the refereeing of this match, especially the refereeing of Referee No. 57, which was simply absurd. Even the honest coach Lu Wei was so angry that he rarely exploded and kept roaring at the referees for their poor calls. What exactly happened? It turned out that during the third and fourth quarters, Shanghai Men's Basketball Team had several momentum-building moments to catch up on points, but they were unexpectedly interrupted by the referees. Besides Bradso committing three consecutive offensive…

On January 14th, Beijing time, Liaoning ended Shanghai's 16-game winning streak. Did they really rely on their own strength? They should thank the referees for an unfair victory, as Shanghai's defeat is still glorious. In the game between Shanghai and Liaoning, Shanghai was missing a key player, with superstar foreign player Lofton, arguably the best foreign player in the CBA, absent due to injury. By the fourth quarter, Shanghai's best-performing foreign player, Bradso, who had played for 28 minutes, was controversially sent off by the referee. Despite being allowed to use their "chariot, horse, and cannon," Liaoning almost dragged Shanghai into overtime to level and reverse the game. Even though Liaoning eventually ended Shanghai's 16-game winning streak, their victory was not honorable. This is because Shanghai was playing away from home, and their two super foreign players were unable to play in the last six minutes. Yet, they almost overwhelmed Liaoning and only lost by three points. Shanghai has nothing to be ashamed of; their young players truly performed well, with Li Hongquan scoring 25 points. On the other hand, Liaoning relied heavily on veterans like Ferguson, Wells, and Han Dejun, with no other main players scoring in double digits, and the supporting players' performances were average at best. Furthermore, Liaoning still needed the help of the referees. In the fourth quarter, Shanghai's foreign player Bradso was blown three times by the referee, especially for a foul and a technical foul for diving. Can you blow the whistle like that? Everyone wants to see the players on the court give…

On January 14th, Beijing time, a major controversy arose during the match between Liaoning and Shanghai. The referees made questionable calls, including two offensive fouls in the fourth quarter, which led to the ejection of Bradley. Is it that they don't want Liaoning to lose? After Liaoning's crushing defeat in the previous game, their ranking dropped to fifth in the league, on the verge of being overtaken by Guangdong and just one step away from falling out of the top eight. In this home game against Shanghai, who were missing Lofton, Liaoning had to win; otherwise, another loss would be too embarrassing. Despite this, Liaoning managed to lead Shanghai by as much as 17 points at one point, achieving a 53:36 lead in the first half. However, they suffered a humiliating comeback, with Shanghai overtaking the score in just half a quarter. It's unclear what Liaoning was thinking, as such a significant lead seemed to evaporate. Playing at home against an opponent lacking a core superstar, Liaoning, with a complete lineup, still managed to squander a big lead and get overturned. This is quite embarrassing, isn't it? In the third quarter, the referees began making controversial calls, giving Shanghai two unreasonable fouls in this quarter alone. Especially when Li Tianrong was called for a rebounding foul, it was truly exaggerated. He did nothing but was called for a foul in the crowd. Can you understand this call? Who would believe that a normal jump for a rebound could result in a foul? Additionally, Shanghai was also called for an offensive…
