Tongxi Team, as a late entrant to the CBA, has not been very competitive in the league, but the team's ambition is not weak. Since the previous season, they have been chasing the playoffs, aiming to break the team's embarrassing record of never making it to the playoffs! Unfortunately, despite Tongxi's efforts, they have remained elusive from the playoffs, and each time at the critical moment of competition, the team fails to deliver. This season, Tongxi has shown similar signs! After entering the second stage, Tongxi performed quite well, once pushing their record to the top 8 in the league. However, as the regular season entered the second half, Tongxi's performance plummeted! In the last six games, Tongxi lost five, resulting in a record of 13 wins and 15 losses, with a win rate falling below 50%, and their ranking dropped to 12th in the league, with their playoff position under threat! Jilin currently ranks 13th with 10 wins and 18 losses, trailing Tongxi by three games. Although their performance has not been good, the key factor is that their core players Jones and Jiang Yuxing are injured. Once these two return, Jilin's strength will significantly improve, posing a considerable threat to Tongxi! For Tongxi, whether they can secure their playoff spot or have it taken away by opponents depends on their future performance; the team needs more victories! Fortunately, Tongxi faced a relatively weaker opponent this game, presenting them with a good opportunity to win! This game, Tongxi faced Jiangsu! Jiangsu has so far achieved a record of 5…

In the history of the NBA, whether players can erupt into conflicts on the court is directly related to the intensity of the game and the refereeing standards. From the perspective of fans and spectators, this is something they are happy to see. Competitive sports inevitably involve intense physical collisions, and conflicts are part of the game. Over the past decade or so, the NBA's viewership has been declining, and its attention has also been decreasing year by year. This is directly related to the game style promoted by the NBA officials. In short, there are too many fouls for minor infractions in today's games, and referees have a significant influence on the game! Why were the games so popular in the past? It was because the league style at that time was to let the players decide more problems on the court themselves, encouraging confrontation while making team tactics more diverse! In the past few days, the NBA league has experienced two large-scale conflicts, resulting in a total of 9 people being ejected from the scene and the league issuing eight-game suspension fines so far. Let's first review some famous conflict events in NBA history: Firstly, the most famous conflict event in NBA history is the "Palace Brawl": During a regular-season game between the Pacers and the Pistons in 2024, the Pacers had an advantage in the first half, while the Pistons made a full comeback in the second half. With 45.9 seconds left in the game, Ben Wallace was fouled hard by Artest while making a strong move…
