The 12th round of the CBA is underway and has attracted a lot of attention, however the issue of refereeing remains in the spotlight. Impartial refereeing is recognised for its importance in a level playing field. However, if the referee's subjective decision is biased, it will affect the trend of the game and cause dissatisfaction among the manager and fans. In the five matches of this round, the managers of two teams have expressed their dissatisfaction with the referee's decision.
Some of it was because the referee blew it too harshly and ruined the coherence of the game;Others were the result of obvious penalty errors and omissions, which seriously affected the outcome of the game, which undoubtedly caused criticism and criticism from the manager. Surprisingly, two managers publicly criticized the referee at the same time in the game that had just ended, which is a rare thing. Shandong head coach Ding Wei publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the referee in an interview after the game.
He angrily scolded the referee during the game and publicly questioned the referee's impartiality after the game, especially outraged by the unfairness of the number of free throws taken by both sides. He pointed out that the difference in the number of free throws between the two sides was 25 to 40, which was puzzling and even for a basketball player like him for many years. Shandong only had 25 free throws, while Liaoning had 40, a difference of 15.
Of course, every free throw from Liaoning cannot be classified as a foul, but the circumstances of individual free throws are indeed debatable, especially when Fogg shoots with the obvious suspicion of deliberately seeking fouls. In addition, the match between the Ningbo team and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang teams also caused dissatisfaction with Adijiang, who publicly criticized the referee after the game. According to Adijiang's comments, the referee did not grasp the principle of punishment in favor of the attacking team during the game, resulting in the game becoming very fragmented and losing the enjoyment. Adijiang's criticism of the referee was quite long, and his words were full of dissatisfaction.
He stressed that winning or losing matches should not disrupt the flow of the game, and questioned whether the authorities could realize that there were so many problems in these games** and whether the level of refereeing was in line with the expectations of the CBA league and fans. He believes that we have an obligation and responsibility and cannot tolerate too many low-level mistakes. Although Adijiang did not directly criticize anyone by name for ruining the flow of the game when commenting on the referees, the writer believes that his purpose is purely out of concern for the development of basketball in China.
Yao Ming, as the head of the league, should indeed listen to the outside world, instead of easily imposing fines on the referees, which is not conducive to the management of referees. It is worth mentioning that two years ago, Adijiang criticized the referee in a drizzly manner, but was fined 10,000 yuan and circulated for criticism. We can't always solve the problem by imposing fines, and unfair referees should be punished accordingly. A level playing field can only be created if both parties are constrained. What are your thoughts on this?
