The referees are always the main characters, and a wonderful match was blown apart by them, with obvious home court bias! Zhao Rui was dissatisfied with the refereeing and angrily bumped into the referee, resulting in his ejection from the game, which was an uncontroversial call. However, the home fans were not satisfied, causing a commotion throughout the stadium and exerting pressure on the referees. Subsequently, the referees' decisions completely changed, clearly favoring the Xinjiang side in an attempt to appease the emotions of the fans. There were a total of 60 fouls in the game, with Shandong committing 35 and Xinjiang 25. There were 64 free throws in total, with Shandong only having 25 while Xinjiang had 39. Three players from Shandong—Chris, Gaili, and Guo Kai—were ejected, while Xinjiang, aside from Zhao Rui who was ejected for angrily hitting the referee, had no other players ejected. Let's look at some typical refereeing decisions! Chris took the ball and accidentally hit Aizimaiti's face, for which the referee called an offensive foul. Then Aizimaiti clapped provocatively, but the referee turned a blind eye and did not even issue a warning. In the next round, Aizimaiti continued to provoke Chris fearlessly, and when Chris retaliated, the referee gave him a second technical foul, ejecting him from the game, while Aizimaiti remained on the court. Xierzati dribbled the ball and was double-teamed by Guo Kai and Yu Dehao, jumping to pass and falling to the ground. Yu Dehao picked up the ball to attack, but the referee blew the whistle on Guo Kai…

107-111, Xinjiang team caused an upset by losing at home to Shandong men's basketball team, suffering their first home defeat of the season and missing out on a 15-game winning streak.

The second phase of the CBA league is in full swing, and on New Year's Day 2025, the CBA league arranged a match between Xinjiang team and Shandong team. There must be a reason for such an arrangement, as it is a confrontation between the new coaches and former coaches of the two teams, which is quite topical. Unexpectedly, the New Year's Day match turned out to be so exciting. An incredible scene occurred during the game. Five minutes into the game, Xinjiang player Zhao Rui made a fast-break layup. He believed that his layup was fouled by the opponent and the referee should have called a 2+1, but the referee did nothing. Subsequently, he pointed at the referee and scolded him, and the referee didn't tolerate him and gave him a technical foul. It's unclear why Zhao Rui suddenly became very angry. He directly went up and chest-bumped the referee, which is a very malicious behavior. The referee also gave him a technical foul and a disqualification foul, ejecting him from the game. Zhao Rui is still very important to Xinjiang team. He was ejected from the game after only five minutes, making it very difficult for Xinjiang to win this game. Recently, Zhao Rui has missed many games due to colds, fevers, and allergies. In the previous game against Beijing, he hurriedly returned but only scored 2 points. This is his second game back, and he was ejected after only playing for five minutes. Many fans think that Zhao Rui probably didn't want to play this game, so…

This season's Volleyball League A group is really changing rapidly, the situation is complex, everyone is fighting hard to enter the playoffs, while also fighting to keep their spots. Especially for those teams with a high risk of relegation, it's like the Sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, one misstep and they could fall. The most heart-wrenching are the teams from Shenzhen, Liaoning, Shandong, and Fujian, especially Shenzhen, which almost became the focus of the relegation battle. Think about it, these teams are all facing the risk of relegation, especially Shenzhen, whose regular season record is really cold sweat-inducing. With a record of 1 win and 13 losses across the entire league, that's basically dead last. Even if they can fight for a top four spot in the group and enter the playoff competition, relegation is still a tough battle. This is no small matter, because if Shenzhen ends up at the bottom of Group F, it means they will directly face the fate of relegation. For a team with such a strong need to avoid relegation, it's not just about competing on strength, but also on mentality, luck, and even more so on the outcome of each match. Some netizens commented on social media platforms: "Shenzhen's recruitment is really too hasty, right?" How can they hold up with such desperate recruitment of Chen Peiyan, Yu Jiarui, and Wang Qi? Shenzhen's recruitment actions are quite significant, not only to enhance overall strength, but more importantly to avoid dropping the ball during the relegation process. Chen Peiyan, Yu Jiarui, and…

Even through the screen, the pain can be felt vividly, and even the toughest man has to be taken down. You need to know this! Zhang Ning received a foul, which is his sixth of the season! As a result, he must serve a one-game suspension and will not be able to participate in the next home game between Shanxi and Shandong. In this game, Zhang Ning (22 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists) once again became the key player! In the final moments, he made a difficult fadeaway jump shot, allowing the team to successfully overtake the score. In the end, Shanxi narrowly defeated the defending champions 95-94, winning the battle between the strong. Zhang Ning is now very important. In the next game, Shanxi will face Shandong, who are ranked fourth in the league, but Zhang Ning cannot play due to suspension, so Shanxi is likely to lose, ending their five-game winning streak. Since the second stage began, Zhang Ning, who returned from the national team, has been playing more and more steadily. During this period, he played 8 games, scoring double digits in 7 of them. Recently, he has been even more impressive, scoring over 20 points in two consecutive games, with opponents being Beijing and Liaoning, both strong teams! This year has been wonderful for him, reaching the peak of his career. I should tell you that this season is Zhang Ning's Class B contract year, and by next summer, he will be eligible for a new top-tier Class D contract. He certainly deserves the top salary!…
