Although the CBA has quickly imposed a suspension and fine on Zhao Rui for shoving a referee, a video posted by fans showing Xinjiang Flying Tigers head coach Liu Wei insulting Yu Dehao during a game has once again brought this incident into the limelight. Last season, Yu Dehao was still playing for Xinjiang, and despite criticism from fans about his shooting ability, he was a key contributor to Xinjiang's return to the finals after many years. Now, Coach Liu Wei uses insulting language towards Yu Dehao, leaving one to wonder what Xinjiang fans and Yu Dehao think about it. However, in this game, Yu Dehao managed to shoot 3 out of 4 under pressure, contributing a much higher shooting percentage than his career average, which was crucial to Shandong's victory. In Coach Liu Wei's view, allowing Yu Dehao to shoot from outside was part of the team's defensive strategy, but Yu Dehao's high shooting percentage proved them wrong. The phrase "learning from shame to become brave" fits Yu Dehao perfectly. After experiencing ups and downs, Yu Dehao may experience a rebirth with Shandong. Meanwhile, Xinjiang's coaching staff doesn't need to get worked up over losing, as the team's strength is evident. As long as they maintain a complete roster, Xinjiang will remain among the championship contenders. After completing physical examinations and signing contracts, Zhejiang Guangsha's new recruit Bo Ban will make his debut in the match against Beikong. Beikong's lineup includes three major frontcourt players: Salinge, Shen Zijie, and Zou Yuchen, which will test Bo Ban's abilities. However, according…

In the CBA, being a coach is not an easy task. They need to constantly communicate with players and referees, and when faced with unfair judgments, they must argue their case, sometimes even shouting loudly, completely losing their gentlemanly demeanor. In this regard, Yang Ming, the head coach of Liaoning, and Du Feng, the head coach of Guangdong, are typical examples. However, there are always some head coaches who are gentle and elegant, and even if they have disputes over judgments, they will communicate effectively. Fans often refer to such coaches as "Confucian coaches," and there are several in the CBA. However, one of them recently had his persona collapse. During a CBA regular season match between Xinjiang and Shandong, the game was exceptionally intense, with both sides fighting until the end to determine the winner. Ultimately, Xinjiang lost to Shandong 107:111, suffering their first home defeat of the season. After the game, the two head coaches shook hands amicably, showing good sportsmanship. It was assumed that both were Confucian coaches, but a video exposed by netizens showed that Liu Wei, the head coach of Xinjiang men's basketball team, actually insulted the opposing players on the court, which was inconsistent with his usual behavior, and his post-game interview caused even more outrage. During the game, Shandong men's basketball team was attacking, and Shandong guard Yu Dehao had the ball. At this point, Liu Wei shouted loudly to the Xinjiang players: "Let him shoot, let SX shoot." Yu Dehao shook his head in dissatisfaction but did not say much. He then…

The basketball game between Xinjiang and Shandong has been a hot topic among fans, despite having ended over a day ago. The main point of contention is the refereeing, with head referee Yang Hongfeng's calls drawing criticism from many fans who believe he favored Xinjiang, known for their tough home court advantage. After Shandong's victory, fans from other teams congratulated them, acknowledging their hard performance. As fans reviewed the game, some details came to light, including an incident where Xinjiang's head coach, Liu Wei, was caught on camera shouting insults at Yu Dehao, calling him an "SB" (a Chinese slang term for "stupid bastard"). This occurred in the fourth quarter when the score was close and Shandong had a slight lead. Yu Dehao was attempting to receive a pass outside the three-point line when Liu Wei shouted, "Let him shoot, let the SB shoot!" Yu Dehao protested to the referees but received no response, leaving him no choice but to continue playing. Shortly after, Yu Dehao made a three-pointer in front of Liu Wei and roared in celebration, while Liu Wei called a timeout out of frustration. The video of this incident quickly sparked heated discussions among fans. Many felt that as a head coach, Liu Wei's behavior of insulting an opponent player was unacceptable and unbecoming of his position, reflecting poorly both on the game and himself. Interestingly, Yu Dehao's performance in the final quarter was outstanding, making three out of four three-point attempts, not only responding to Liu Wei's taunts but also contributing significantly to Shandong's victory. Yu…

This season, the CBA court has seen many controversial refereeing decisions and numerous player fines. Du Runwang was suspended for five games, and Qi Lin was also suspended for three games. Just as Qi Lin returned to play, another incident occurred with the Xinjiang men's basketball team, involving Zhao Rui. During a home game against the Shandong men's basketball team, Zhao Rui first angrily scolded the referee and then directly collided with the referee. As a result, he was first penalized with a technical foul and ultimately ejected from the game. The CBA officially announced that Zhao Rui would be suspended for five games and fined 100,000 yuan, while Xinjiang men's basketball head coach Liu Wei was fined 20,000 yuan. In the past, when Zhao Rui played for Guangdong Hongyuan, he was prone to losing his temper, especially when arguing with referees, which often led to disadvantages. After joining the Xinjiang men's basketball team, Zhao Rui's playing time was limited due to injury issues, but there were no conflicts with referees this season. The catalyst for this incident was still the referee. When Zhao Rui was fouled during a counterattack, the referee ignored it, causing Zhao Rui to explode. He first pointed at the referee and scolded them, resulting in an immediate technical foul. Zhao Rui even went so far as to collide with the referee, after which he was also ejected from the game. Xinjiang men's basketball team is relatively protective of Zhao Rui. After the game, Liu Wei expressed dissatisfaction with the referees, believing that although Zhao Rui…

The Night When Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team's Dignity Was Shredded by Their Former Head Coach Originally, it was thought that with Zhao Rui's disqualification, the game between Shandong and Xinjiang teams would become calmer in the following time. After all, such a big commotion at the beginning of the game would make everyone, including the players, team staff, and on-site referees, be extra cautious and careful. However, the reality is quite the opposite. Through the post-game comments from both head coaches, we can get a glimpse of the situation. First, let's talk about the Xinjiang side. Liu Wei mentioned that Zhao Rui's ejection undoubtedly had a huge impact on the entire team, and it was also caused by Zhao Rui himself. But why did things turn out this way? It's because of the flow of the game. All fans watching the game, including TV media, hope to see star players compete, but the reality is that the stars are provoked and ejected from the court. This can't help but be considered a loss for the promotion of the entire CBA event. From this, we can see how strongly Liu Wei defends Zhao Rui, as well as his dissatisfaction with the on-site referees' professional level and response ability. Of course, due to the rules set, he cannot directly comment on the referees by name, so he chose a relatively "subtle" way. However, this approach is even more effective than directly confronting them. It can only be said that when it comes to subtlety, Liu Wei is the one to watch. This…

In an unexpected turn of events, the Shandong men's basketball team pulled off a stunning upset against the formidable Xinjiang team, ending their opponents' unbeaten streak of 14 consecutive home victories. After the game, Xinjiang's young head coach, Liu Wei, made some cryptic remarks, not discussing the match itself but pointing out that some players were falling to the ground and covering their faces to gain sympathy, which seemed to imply more than what was being said. Coincidentally, Shandong's big foreign player, Chris, had made a similar move during the game. Upon seeing Liu Wei's challenge, Shandong media figure Xia Xiaosi couldn't stand it and directly confronted the opponent, publicly responding with a strong retort, which was quite impressive! Xinjiang's home court is notoriously difficult to play in. Previously, the dark horse Shanxi team almost defeated them but failed to do so, leading Shanxi's head coach Pan Jiang to openly state that no one could win at this home court. This alone speaks volumes. That home court is not one that just anyone can conquer. Even strong teams like Shanxi and Beijing have fallen there. However, as a familiar stranger, Qiu Biao has a thorough understanding of Xinjiang's home court. For nearly two seasons, Qiu Biao coached in Xinjiang, where it was once his home court. Now, as a visiting team's head coach, he returned to his old stomping grounds, knowing the ins and outs, and after almost winning last time, he finally succeeded this time. Some people are not convinced! For example, the young head coach Liu Wei. After…

At 6 PM this evening, as expected, the penalty for Xinjiang team player Zhao Rui was announced, marking the second severe punishment for the team in ten days following the CBA's sanction against Qi Lin. The CBA has imposed a five-game suspension and a 100,000 yuan fine on Zhao Rui. Normally, the maximum penalty for a suspension is three games according to the CBA's established standards, but Zhao Rui received a five-game ban, clearly exceeding the limit. However, the CBA provided an explanation: Zhao Rui physically collided with the referee and used his finger to point at the referee while using insulting language during the process of leaving the court. These two factors combined meant that even the maximum penalty was not enough, hence an additional two games were added to the suspension. Zhao Rui was only fined 100,000 yuan, contrary to the speculated 150,000 yuan penalty, which is beneficial to him personally since fines are typically paid by the individual and not by the club. The five-game suspension will give Zhao Rui time to cool down. Before the CBA's penalty was announced, Zhao Rui had already realized his improper behavior and apologized through his social media. However, the apology did not affect the CBA's decision to impose the penalty. Frankly speaking, it was the unprofessionalism of the referees that led to Zhao Rui's anger, but whether there will be internal penalties for the relevant referees as in the past remains unknown. Regardless, Zhao Rui has paid the price for his actions. Zhao Rui's punishment has sparked discussions among fans…

Many fans jokingly comment that in terms of issuing fines, the CBA league outpaces other basketball leagues around the world. Zhao Rui, who collided with a referee during the Xinjiang versus Shandong match, quickly received a fine from the CBA company, with less than 20 hours elapsing from the end of the game to the issuance of the fine, demonstrating high efficiency indeed. The CBA officially announced that Xinjiang player Zhao Rui would be suspended for 5 games and fined 100,000 yuan for colliding with a referee, while Xinjiang head coach Liu Wei was fined 20,000 yuan. After the announcement, the first reaction of the fans was: too light! After the Xinjiang versus Shandong match, media figures had already speculated on the number of games Zhao Rui would be banned and the amount of his fine. Zhao Rui's unnecessary contact with the referee falls under two major clauses of the CBA, with specific penalties ranging from a suspension of 1-3 games and a fine of 50,000 to 100,000 yuan, or a suspension of 3-6 games and a fine of 100,000 to 200,000 yuan. Judging from the final outcome, it appears that the CBA company has invoked the second clause, which stipulates a suspension of 3-6 games and a fine of 100,000 to 200,000 yuan. Objectively speaking, Zhao Rui's action was quite malicious and seriously affected the image and order of the CBA league. Even if the CBA company were to impose the maximum penalty, directly suspending him for 6 games and fining him 200,000 yuan, or even suspending him for…

On January 2nd, Beijing time, Zhao Rui unleashed a full-frontal assault without discrimination, bumping into referees and firing at fans, even causing head coach Liu Wei to be unable to save face. In the match between Xinjiang and Shandong, Zhao Rui openly collided with the referee, which can be said to have completely crossed the bottom line of the CBA. Previously, Bradley waved his fist at Ma Yong and was suspended for four games, while Du Runwang was suspended for five games for punching the opponent. Zhao Rui is essentially hitting the referee directly, so how can he not be banned or dealt with? More importantly, he is not only angry with the referees but has also started to take heavy blows at the fans, which is really incomprehensible. Who provoked Zhao Rui, and why does he confront everyone he meets? In the comment section, netizens responded to Zhao Rui's behavior of colliding with the referee, saying, "He simply doesn't want to play." Is this fan's IP from Shanghai? Upon seeing it, Zhao Rui directly cursed at the fan, "Shanghainese, don't want to play **." This is no longer just about confronting the referee; it has escalated to cursing at fans and engaging in regional blackening, directly launching a geographical attack. How dare Zhao Rui use such words? What does he think he's doing? A national team player actually dares to openly engage in regional blackening—where does he get his confidence? The key point is, when Zhao Rui curses "Shanghainese," did he forget one thing: their head coach is from…

Zhao Rui and Zhou Qi's swap had many fans believing that Xinjiang was the winner at the time, as Zhou Qi hadn't played for Xinjiang for quite some time, while Zhao Rui, a top-tier guard in the league, could fill the gap in the team's backcourt position. Although his strength is undeniable, Zhao Rui's endurance and fiery temper may have side effects for Xinjiang. Previously, Qi Lin was suspended by the league for angrily scolding the referee during a match against Beikong. After returning from suspension in this game against Shandong, Qi Lin managed to restrain himself somewhat, only for Zhao Rui, the "mindless one," to steal the show. Early in the game, after completing a difficult layup and failing to get a foul call, Zhao Rui erupted at the referee. His subsequent action led to his ejection from the game; not content with just yelling at the referee, Zhao Rui deliberately collided with the official using his shoulder, an act of provocation that resulted in his disqualification. During his last season with Guangdong, Zhao Rui was prone to emotional outbursts, which affected his enthusiasm for the game. Now in Xinjiang, he and Qi Lin's "mindless and unhappy" combination could potentially become a stumbling block on the team's path to the championship. So far, Zhao Rui has only played 13 games for Xinjiang, averaging 10.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 4.8 assists in 24.8 minutes per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of 37.5%. This average of 10.2 points marks the lowest since the 17-18 season. In these 13 games this…
