Last night, although only three games were played on the CBA field, one of them undoubtedly became the focus, that is, the showdown between Zhejiang and Qingdao. These two teams are outstanding, with Zhejiang consistently ranking in the top four in the league, while Qingdao is a big dark horse this season, consistently ranking high.
It is particularly worth mentioning that Liu Weiwei, the head coach of the Qingdao team, once served as the coach of the Zhejiang team, and naturally has a strong fighting spirit for his old club. In the first two meetings, both teams won one game each, forming a balance of power. In this match, Liu Weiwei was eager to show his quality and wash away his past defeats, but the result was not satisfactory and he failed to overcome his old club.
Both sides were eager to win, and the game was extremely fierce, and the smell of gunpowder on the field was very strong. Even with the last four minutes of the game remaining and trailing by 19 points, the Qingdao team still did not withdraw the main force, insisted on maintaining the intensity of the game, and went all out. This fighting spirit has also sparked conflict.
In the final stage of the game, Jones, a foreign aid of the Zhejiang team, advanced with the ball, and faced the defense of Wang Ruize of the Qingdao team, the two sides had fierce physical contact, and the ball was transferred to Cheng Shuaipeng. The conflict between Mr. Wang and Mr. Jones escalated, first as a verbal collision and then as a physical push. Luckily, the referee stepped in in time to separate the two and quell the conflict. The referee also gave two technical fouls and 50 boards each.
The end of the competition featured some intense scenes, with no shortage of unexpected episodes. At the critical moment of the game, Qingdao's Zhao Jiayi and Yang Jinmeng were both punished by the referee for unphysical movements, while two players from Zhejiang were also punished for technical fouls. It is worth noting that the Qingdao team is still fiercely confronting their opponents in the line of criticism and even in the garbage time when the game has lost its suspense, which is considered unnecessary. The commentator also bluntly said on the spot that the result of the game was obvious, the conflict was completely avoidable, and the team should focus more on the game itself.
* Ren Santu pointed out in a sharp criticism: "The situation is already like this, it is impossible to continue the fight, it should be adjusted in time, the substitute will be substituted, if you don't make a substitution, the opponent will not be able to start, within these two minutes, one side has a technical foul, the other side has a physical violation, for this kind of fight, it is really unnecessary." The suspense of the game has long been lost, and the personnel turnover should be carried out sensibly, rather than entangled in unnecessary confrontations. Obviously, Santu's criticism was mainly focused on the Qingdao team and Liu Weiwei, and his view was that the game had long lost its suspense, and the lineup should be adjusted in time, rather than unnecessary confrontation in this situation. If you don't make a substitution, the Zhejiang team can't make a substitution, and this senseless confrontation is a reason for the conflict.
Did Liu Weiwei lose his mind because of the loss?
