The second stage of the CBA league is in full swing. Recently, Jones of the Jilin team has been plagued by injuries. He has not been able to play since December 26th, and it is unknown when he will return. However, he also took the time to accept an interview with a media person, discussing the current state of Chinese men's basketball. A media person asked Jones who he thought was the most powerful player in the CBA. Jones thought for a moment and said that he felt Guo Ailun was the best five years ago, but now Zhao Jiwei and Zhao Rui are the best. It is unclear whether this view can be accepted by most fans, as many may feel it is biased. Players like Yi Jianlian, Zhou Qi, and Hu Jinqiu are also very powerful. However, Jones also mentioned that because he plays as a guard, he chose the best players from among the guards. Jones has been in the CBA since 2013 and has played for nearly 11 years, changing teams multiple times. Starting from Liaoning, he has been to Jilin, Shanxi, Qingdao, Nanjing, Tongxi, and Xinjiang. This season, he returned to Jilin, so he has seen many players in the CBA. Based on his resume, he is qualified to evaluate the current CBA players. Jones said he watched Guo Ailun play when he was still a child and felt that he grew every year. However, Guo Ailun has been plagued by injuries in recent years and is no longer the best player. He believes that…

Recently, the Xinjiang-Shandong match has caused controversy, with Zhao Rui chasing and attacking a referee, which is unprecedented in CBA history. Zhao Rui was also severely punished, suspended for five games and fined 100,000 yuan. Although this is considered a severe punishment, it is lighter compared to the one-year suspension given to a CSL player for attacking a referee. Recently, the Chinese Basketball Association has also paid attention to protecting players and held an online referees' meeting to request stricter management of foul actions. Zhao Rui's attack on the referee was undoubtedly wrong, but there were reasons behind it. Some people say that Yu Dehao fouled Zhao Rui during his pursuit defense, and the action was quite significant. However, others argue that the pursuing defender did not commit a foul. So, did the pursuing defender actually foul? Is it a missed call? Recently, referee expert Ding Jianing provided a detailed interpretation. He bluntly stated that this is a hundred percent missed defensive foul. Zhao Rui, as a seasoned national-level player, if it was a foul that could be called or not called at the beginning of the game, he would not have exploded like that even if he was unclear about the situation. Ding Jianing analyzed in detail: The contact from point A to point B by the supplementary defender seriously affected Zhao Rui's RSBQ. Despite Zhao Rui's strength, he was hit so hard that he crashed directly into the basket frame, so the impact of this contact on him was quite significant. Ding Jianing then explained the reason for…

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…

This night, the dignity of the CBA referees was shattered by Zhao Rui's outburst, collision, and ejection. The match between Xinjiang men's basketball team and Shandong team should have been a good story, but an unexpected incident occurred in the first quarter, which was particularly regrettable. The game should have been presented better. The atmosphere at Xinjiang's home court was originally quite good, with the audience looking forward to watching an exciting match. However, with five minutes remaining in the first quarter, Zhao Rui was knocked out of bounds and directly hit the basketball hoop during a layup. The referee did not call a foul on this play, which made Zhao Rui very angry. He ran to argue with the referee with great emotion, and the referee immediately gave him a technical foul. After being called for a technical foul, Zhao Rui could no longer control his emotions and rushed in front of the referee, making physical contact. The referee then quickly gave him another technical foul, ejecting him from the game. This punishment came too fast, leaving everyone on and off the court stunned. On Xinjiang's bench, the coaching staff and teammates tried to stop Zhao Rui, but it was already too late. Zhao Rui had been ejected from the game, which was a huge blow to Xinjiang since he is one of their core players. The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became strange, with the audience starting to shout loudly at the referees to express their dissatisfaction. This scene was indeed not pleasant, especially for a New Year's…

Oh my, finally someone is directly confronting the CBA league referees. I've been watching basketball games for ten years, and I've never seen a player dare to be so aggressive towards the referees. Of course, there are tough guys like Sun Minghui, Wang Zhelin, Guo Ailun, as well as championship coaches Du Feng of the Guangdong team and Yang Ming of the Liaoning team. They only dare to raise their doubts and angrily confront the referees face-to-face, but they would never engage in excessive physical actions. But this time, Zhao Rui directly chest-bumped the referee. During the game between Xinjiang team and Shandong team, Zhao Rui was scoring on a layup when he was hit by Shandong's foreign aid Gali and slammed into the basketball hoop. However, the sideline referee who witnessed all this did not make any call. What's even more infuriating is that in the face of Zhao Rui's very emotional appeal, the sideline referee not only did not come forward with kind words to soothe and explain his missed call at the first opportunity, but instead gave a harsh T, provoking Zhao Rui's physical collision. Everyone knows what happened next. Zhao Rui was expelled from the game and disqualified, and then he was determined by Beijing Sports Company of China Basketball League to have seriously violated the spirit of sportsmanship and "Disciplinary Code of Chinese Men's Professional Basketball League," causing adverse effects on the CBA league. In order to maintain league discipline, Zhao Rui was given a five-game suspension and a fine of 100,000 yuan. After the…

In the twenty-fifth round of the CBA regular season, Xinjiang Flying Tigers faced off against Shandong High-Speed, a defensive battle where both teams played with high intensity on the defensive end. Xinjiang's main guard, Zhao Rui, was ejected from the game for colliding with a referee before the first quarter had even ended. With 5 minutes and 3 seconds left in the first quarter, Zhao Rui, wearing number 10 for Xinjiang, fell to the ground during a fast-break layup attempt and then rushed towards the referee to argue. He was subsequently called for a technical foul. Zhao Rui, dissatisfied with the referee's decision, charged forward and physically bumped into the referee, leading to his disqualification from the game. Notably, during Zhao Rui's exit from the court, he pointed at the referee and used insulting language. After the game, it was determined that Zhao Rui's behavior had a negative impact on the CBA league, resulting in a suspension and fine. According to league regulations, the CBA company has imposed a five-game suspension and a fine of 100,000 yuan on Zhao Rui. In the next five games, Xinjiang will face Sichuan Blue Whales, Shanxi Brave Dragons, Nanjing Tongxi Monkey King, Fujian Sturgeons, and Nanjing Tongxi Monkey King again. Additionally, Xinjiang's head coach, Liu Wei, has also been fined 20,000 yuan. Zhao Rui was already unhappy with Dehao's defense and complained to the referee, only to receive another technical foul. His emotions escalated, and he charged towards the referee, chest-to-chest, causing the referee to stumble back several steps, almost falling. Moreover, after the…

On January 2nd, Beijing time, Zhao Rui made a fierce move during the match between Shandong and Xinjiang, directly colliding with the referee, causing significant controversy. He is destined to face additional penalties. Zhao Rui's impulsive action earned him the punishment he deserved, as he was immediately disqualified and ejected from the game. There is no problem with this; any player who assaults a referee during a game must be severely punished. Otherwise, everyone could do it, and no one would dare to officiate in the CBA. However, whether the CBA dares to impose further severe punishment on Zhao Rui remains uncertain. This is because the Chinese men's basketball team may urgently need Zhao Rui in the upcoming games. If Zhao Rui is severely punished, the team will face the awkward situation of lacking an important guard. There are not many games left in the second stage, with each team having about 10 matches remaining. Following this will be the men's basketball window period, which includes crucial national team matches, including a decisive battle against Japan. Given Zhao Rui's physical condition and his current ability to play, Guo Shiqiang's national team desperately needs him. If he is needed for the national team, he must play a few games to find his rhythm. If the direct collision with the referee results in a 10-game suspension for Zhao Rui, it would mean that he is effectively out for the second stage. How can Zhao Rui join the national team during the window period then? It's impossible to suspend him until the end…

On the night of January 1, 2025, the CBA regular season match between Xinjiang Team and Shandong Men's Basketball Team at Xinjiang's home court was a focal point. Why? There were multiple factors: firstly, it was the "New Year's Game" on New Year's Day, which is considered a highlight; secondly, both Shandong and Xinjiang are super-strong teams this season, fitting well with the promotional style of the "New Year's Battle"; thirdly, Qiu Biao was the head coach of Xinjiang last season, and Yu Dehao is an old player from Xinjiang, all of which brought extra attention to this game. Originally, it was a match very suitable for promoting and publicizing the brand and value of the CBA. However, on this night, the dignity of the CBA league and referees was shattered by Zhao Rui's angry outburst, collision, and ejection after the refereeing decision. Refereeing decisions have always been a tough issue in this game. The controversy over the refereeing decision came particularly fast. With 5 minutes left in the first quarter, Zhao Rui scored quickly while being pushed out of bounds during a confrontation, directly colliding with the basketball hoop. The referee believed that the defensive action was not problematic, but Zhao Rui, who was knocked out of bounds, was very dissatisfied and thought that the referee's decision was a misjudgment. Zhao Rui excitedly confronted the referee and was immediately given a "T" by the referee; after receiving the "T," Zhao Rui became furious and physically confronted the referee, resulting in his disqualification and ejection from the game in the…

Translation of the article content into English: In the CBA regular season match between Xinjiang Team and Shandong Team, the two teams were locked in a fierce battle. Ultimately, Shandong Team emerged victorious with a score of 111-107, securing their win. This victory for Shandong Team not only broke Xinjiang Team's undefeated home record for the season but also put an end to Xinjiang Team's 13-game winning streak at home. Additionally, it marked the first time in seven years that Shandong Team had won a game at Xinjiang Team's home court, making this match particularly significant for Shandong Team. Notably, Xinjiang Team not only lost their undefeated home record but also suffered a loss in terms of personnel. In the first quarter, Zhao Rui, the team's backcourt player, was dissatisfied with the referee's decision and angrily pushed the referee. As a result, he was penalized with a disqualification and immediately ejected from the game. With 5 minutes and 3 seconds remaining in the first quarter, Zhao Rui drove to the basket and scored 2 points. After scoring, Zhao Rui believed that a Shandong Team player had committed a foul, but the referee did not call a foul on the Shandong Team player. This outcome left Zhao Rui highly dissatisfied, leading him to berate the referee. In response to Zhao Rui's outburst, the referee could no longer tolerate it and issued a technical foul against Zhao Rui. Unexpectedly, instead of calming down after receiving the technical foul, Zhao Rui became even more furious. He charged towards the referee and violently bumped…

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…
