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 1st, in the 25th round of the CBA regular season, Xinjiang tasted their first home defeat of the season, ending their 14-game winning streak with a 107:111 loss to Shandong Express. However, the disappointment of the home defeat was not the only regret, as Zhao Rui's irrational behavior on the court may lead to more severe punishment. He was disqualified and sent off the court after only three minutes of play, paying the price for his impulsive actions. Did he regret it after the game? It seems not! From a sentence on his social media, we can understand his current mentality. Rather than saying he regrets it, he is still resentful of the referee's actions. After the game, Zhao Rui left a comment under a video about him: "I get scolded when I win, and I get scolded when I lose. I might as well retire!" The incident occurred with over five minutes left in the first quarter when Zhao Rui attempted a layup. Yu Dehao's defense appeared to involve a foul, and during the physical contact, Zhao Rui almost collided with the basket stanchion. Zhao Rui believed it should have been a two-plus-one play, but the referee did not acknowledge it. Filled with anger, Zhao Rui confronted the referee, who responded with a technical foul warning. This only intensified Zhao Rui's anger, and he rushed forward, using his chest to push the referee. The referee, caught off guard by Zhao Rui's aggression, retreated several meters before regaining his footing. As expected, Zhao Rui immediately received another unsportsmanlike…

On January 2nd, Beijing time, Zhao Rui finally made an official apology for his collision with the referee during the CBA "New Year's Day Battle" between Xinjiang and Shandong, which caused significant trouble. Zhao Rui stated that due to poor personal emotional management, he engaged in an uncalm behavior of colliding with the referee. Here, he solemnly offers his deepest apologies to everyone affected. Despite Zhao Rui's timely apology, the CBA officials will still impose additional penalties on him. Referring to past experiences and relevant regulations, the CBA company is likely to issue a heavy penalty of a six-game suspension plus a fine of over 200,000 yuan. On the other hand, the first week of CBA All-Star voting results have been released, with Hu Jinqiu and Zhao Rui becoming the top vote-getters for the South and North respectively. Notably, Xu Jie received 294,315 votes, surpassing Zhao Rui to become the All-Star guard vote king. On the Liaoning side, Zhao Jiwei, who had been absent from several games due to injury, officially joined the team for their trip to Jilin and is expected to make an early return. Everyone has watched basketball for so many years, but this is the first time they've seen a player dare to directly confront a referee. Zhao Rui has previously engaged in "self-destruction," but never had unnecessary physical contact with a referee. After the incident, Zhao Rui was also very regretful, as it was just a momentary lapse of reason where he "lost his head" and pushed the referee. "After calming down, I deeply reflected.…

On January 1st, Beijing time, the "New Year's Day Battle" between Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team and Shandong Men's Basketball Team witnessed one of the most intense moments in the CBA this season and possibly the last decade. Zhao Rui, after attempting a layup, angrily confronted the referee and was subsequently ejected from the game for colliding with the official. It is rare to see a player physically assault a referee in the CBA, despite instances of player fights and fan conflicts. While it is true that Zhao Rui was fouled right in front of the referee, who should not have overlooked it, Zhao Rui's impulsive action crossed a line, potentially leading to severe consequences for Xinjiang. According to reports from journalists, Zhao Rui may face a six-game suspension and a 200,000 yuan fine post-match. Zhao Rui's unnecessary physical contact with the referee could be subject to CBA disciplinary rules. If judged under Article 25 of Chapter 1 of Section 2 of the CBA Disciplinary Code, which stipulates a suspension of 1-3 games and a fine of 50,000 to 100,000 yuan for intentional unnecessary physical contact with a referee, the situation could escalate. Under Article 28 of the same chapter and section, a first offense could result in a suspension of 3-6 games and a fine of 100,000 to 200,000 yuan. In particularly serious cases, a player could lose their eligibility for the season or even be suspended for a year. Zhao Rui's direct confrontation with the referee could be deemed "particularly serious," warranting a potential one-year suspension. However, considering the…

In the CBA New Year's battle, the focus match between Xinjiang and Shandong sparked an "unexpected incident" amidst intense competition. During the game, Zhao Rui engaged in a fierce conflict with the referee over a controversial call. Zhao Rui collided with a Shandong defender during a break-through attempt. Believing he had been fouled without receiving support from the whistle, an emotionally charged Zhao Rui immediately confronted the referee with words to express his dissatisfaction. The referee promptly issued a technical foul. However, Zhao Rui did not let it rest there; his emotions escalated, leading to a more intense physical confrontation with the referee. He actively initiated physical contact with the referee, which resulted in his immediate ejection from the game. (GIF animation at the end of the article) Through slow-motion replay, it was shown that the Shandong defender had no obvious violations in upper body defense but made a last-second leg-out move that caused Zhao Rui to lose balance and fall. This clear "leg-out" action should have been penalized, but the referee chose to overlook it, clearly igniting Zhao Rui's anger. From a professional standpoint, this was indeed a missed call, and Zhao Rui's emotional outburst was not without reason. Nonetheless, Zhao Rui's collision with the referee clearly exceeded the bounds of what is allowed by the rules, raising questions for discussion. In basketball games, referees are the guardians of order on the court, and any physical contact with them undermines the fairness and seriousness of the game. As a national-level player, Zhao Rui carries the hopes of the Xinjiang…

The home game between Xinjiang Flying Tigers and Shandong Heroes saw Qi Lin return after serving a three-game suspension. However, Zhao Rui was ejected from the game for colliding with a referee. According to the rules of the current CBA season, Zhao Rui will be suspended for 3 to 5 games. Given the recent emphasis on maintaining discipline in the league, there is a possibility of harsher penalties. Chen Yingjun has been a crucial addition to Beijing Ducks this season. Unfortunately, during a match against Liaoning Flying Leopards, he stepped on Wang Lanyi's foot, resulting in severe swelling in his foot, as reported by Beijing media. Although there were no fractures, Chen will undergo further ligament checks, which will likely sideline him for the remainder of the second stage. Chris, who leads the league in technical fouls this season, received two technical fouls during the game against Xinjiang, bringing his total to eight. As a result, he will be fined 10,000 yuan. Xinjiang's players seem to have issues controlling their emotions this season. Qi Lin was previously suspended for three games due to a conflict with Goodwin, and Zhao Rui frequently questions referees, often receiving technical fouls. Zhao Rui's collision with the referee was particularly egregious. After scoring a counterattack, he believed the opponent had committed a foul and verbally attacked the referee. He was then ejected from the game for physically confronting the official. Qi Lin had previously performed a similar action and was suspended for two games. With the recent focus on improving game conduct, Zhao Rui is…

Last night's fierce battle between Xinjiang and Shandong was filled with intense rivalry. Ultimately, the visiting Shandong team emerged victorious, securing their fifth consecutive win. After the match, Shandong's head coach, Qiubiao, appeared visibly delighted and even expressed his willingness to pay the fines on behalf of the players. The match was indeed packed with talking points and highlights. A total of 62 fouls were committed by both teams, resulting in 60 free throws. There were three technical fouls and two flagrant fouls, with three players being ejected from the game. Chris accumulated seven technical fouls and was fined 10,000 yuan. In the locker room, Qiubiao jokingly offered to cover the fine but warned that there would be no repeat offenses, drawing laughter from everyone present. It was clear that winning was the top priority, and even paying fines on behalf of the players brought joy to Qiubiao's heart. However, Shandong's victory seemed to be a gift from Xinjiang. To put it bluntly, Zhao Rui squandered the win. With five minutes remaining in the first quarter, during a fast break layup, he was slightly touched by a defender, but the referee did not award a 2+1. Zhao Rui complained to the referee and received a technical foul. His agitation escalated, leading him to charge at the referee, resulting in an immediate disqualification and ejection from the game. Had it not been for this impulsive act, Zhao Rui might have helped his team secure the victory. Post-game, he faced additional penalties and suspension, truly a significant loss. After the game, Liu…

In the 25th round of the CBA regular season, Shandong challenged Xinjiang away from home. So far, Xinjiang has had the strongest home court in the CBA, winning an impressive 14 consecutive victories. Shandong had previously lost both home and away games against Xinjiang, especially during their last visit to Xinjiang's home court, where they encountered some controversial refereeing decisions and ultimately lost by a narrow margin of three points. However, the same scenario unfolded again, but this time, it was Shandong who emerged victorious. The refereeing in this game was indeed problematic, causing some players to lose control of their emotions. In this match, Xinjiang was awarded an astonishing 39 free throws, while Shandong had 25, reflecting a numerical disparity. However, there were significant differences in the refereeing standards. In the decisive stages, Guo Kai's reasonable double-teaming was called for a foul, resulting in him being sent off with free throws. Meanwhile, Xinjiang's double-teaming on Tao Hanlin in the final moments featured almost identical actions. Upon slow-motion replay review, Xinjiang's pushing and fouling were more evident, with Tao Hanlin being physically pushed out of bounds. Yet, the on-duty head referee deemed it not a foul and returned possession to Xinjiang, leading to Shandong receiving a technical foul. This was a decision that could have significantly impacted the outcome; if not for Peterson's chaotic play at the end, Shandong might have suffered a repeat defeat. The controversies did not end there. As Shandong's most outstanding player and core member, Chris has always had emotional issues, prone to impulsive behavior. However,…

In recent matches of the CBA league, there have been ups and downs, with controversies over referees' decisions, injuries to key players, and questions about the stability of coaching positions, making the competition full of drama and suspense. During the match between Xinjiang and Shandong men's basketball teams, the referees' performance sparked significant controversy. A total of 62 fouls, 7 technical fouls, 1 disqualification foul, and 1 unsportsmanlike foul were called in this game, making it one of the most "present" officiating performances of the season. Among them, Xinjiang player Zhao Rui was involved in a conflict with the referee due to dissatisfaction with the decision and was subsequently penalized with technical fouls and disqualification fouls. After the game, Zhao Rui made improper remarks on social media, which escalated the incident. This behavior may trigger disciplinary clauses from the league, and Zhao Rui could face severe punishment. In the game, under the leadership of head coach Qiu Biao, Shandong not only capitalized on Xinjiang's chaotic emotions but also successfully ended their undefeated home record this season, becoming the biggest winner. On the other side, Zhejiang men's basketball team has fallen into an injury quagmire. The team's three core players, Yu Jiahao, Cheng Shaipeng, and Wu Qian, have all been sidelined due to injuries, with expected absences of 2 weeks, 10 days, and one month respectively. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the team and makes the prospects for the second stage of Zhejiang's season uncertain. Yu Jiahao's dominance in the paint, Cheng Shaipeng's organizational skills, and Wu Qian's outside…

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…
