There was an unpleasant incident recently in the CBA regular season, when Zhu Shilong, the head coach of the Fujian men's basketball team, lost control of his emotions in the away game against the Tianjin men's basketball team and angrily smashed the tactical board at the referee. This incident has attracted the attention of CBA companies, and considering the large-scale adjustments made by CBA companies this offseason, Zhu's behavior has undoubtedly made a bad start to the new season. As a result, it is likely that CBA companies will impose severe penalties on them. This emotional out-of-control incident is largely related to the Fujian men's basketball team's two consecutive defeats.
Before the Tianjin men's basketball team, the Fujian men's basketball team had lost two games in a row. In order to meet the Tianjin men's basketball team, head coach Zhu Shilong issued an iron order before the game that "you can only win and not lose". At the beginning, the Fujian men's basketball team showed its determination to win, once leading the Tianjin men's basketball team by 13 points, but this advantage was only maintained until the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter of the game, the Fujian men's basketball team's offense was in trouble, and the Tianjin men's basketball team took advantage of the situation to equalize the score and overtake, opening up the difference. Although at the beginning of the third quarter, the Fujian men's basketball team narrowed the gap to 6 points, but it was quickly beaten by the Tianjin men's basketball team with a 26-point scoring advantage.
In the end, the Fujian men's basketball team suffered a heavy defeat to the Tianjin men's basketball team, and although they narrowed the gap to 8 points in the fourth quarter, they could not reverse the situation. The incident in which Zhu Shilong was punished occurred with 6 minutes and 59 seconds left in the third quarter of the game, and a dramatic scene played out on the court. The Fujian team's Jermain attacked with the ball, while Lin Tingqian, a player of the Tianjin team, blocked Jermain with both hands, destroying the Fujian team's fast attack opportunity. Although the referee only awarded Lin Tingqian an ordinary foul, this caused dissatisfaction with the head coach of the Fujian team, Zhu Shilong. Zhu Shilong believed that the behavior of the opposing player was already a physical foul, but the referee only made an ordinary foul.
Therefore, Zhu Shilong lost control of his emotions, scolded the referee loudly, and threw the tactical board. Luckily, two assistant coaches stopped him in time, otherwise the situation would have gotten out of control. Due to Zhu Shilong's excesses and blatant provocation of the referee and the order of the game, he was finally expelled directly from the game. After research by the Basketball Association and CBA, they believe that Zhu Shilong's behavior has brought irreparable negative impact on the league. Therefore, according to the relevant regulations of the league, Zhu Shilong, the head coach of the Fujian men's basketball team, was suspended for two games and fined 50,000 yuan. Considering that Zhu Shilong has already received a warning this season, he was also fined an additional 20,000 yuan, for a total of 70,000 yuan.
The punishment of the Basketball Association this time is indeed larger, and I believe it can also serve as a warning to all coaches. This incident will undoubtedly play a certain warning role in the order and implementation of the rules of the league.
