In a key battle of the CBA regular season, the Guangdong men's basketball team played against Beijing Shougang at home. This is the second meeting between the two powerhouses, the last time, the Guangdong men's basketball team narrowly defeated Beijing Shougang away, relying on the stable performance of the veteran and the steal at the critical moment. This time, the Guangdong men's basketball team suffered a big blow, and their interior big player Zhou Qi did not play because of a cold, which affected their defense and rebounding.
However, there is also good news for the Guangdong men's basketball team, as their guard Xu Jie has returned from injury, increasing their outside firepower and defensive intensity. Beijing Shougang came to Guangdong with a revenge mentality, and their core players Zhai Xiaochuan and Fang Shuo both showed high morale, especially Zhai Xiaochuan, whose three-point shot was very hot, and he hit three shots in the first quarter to help Beijing Shougang lead the Guangdong men's basketball team by 3 points at 25:22. In the second quarter, the Guangdong men's basketball team adjusted its tactics and strengthened its defense against Zhai Xiaochuan, and at the same time, Xu Jie also began to exert his power, he hit three-pointers in a row, and played a wave of 9:0 small climax, allowing the Guangdong men's basketball team to overtake the score.
Xu Xin on the inside line was not to be outdone, he got empty space under the basket many times, received passes from teammates, and easily completed the dunk, showing his bounce and explosiveness. Beijing Shougang fell into a slump, their offense lost its rhythm, frequent turnovers and missed shots, and only scored 21 points, while the Guangdong men's basketball team scored 32 points, leading by 11 points in a single quarter, and at halftime, the Guangdong men's basketball team led Beijing Shougang by 8 points at 54:46. However, the highlight of the game was not the point difference, but a skirmish that occurred in the second quarter, which attracted widespread attention from fans.
The protagonists of this conflict are Du Feng, the head coach of the Guangdong men's basketball team, and Fang Shuo, the guard of Beijing Shougang, who used to have a master-apprentice relationship, but this time they are-for-tat and do not give in to each other. The cause of the incident is this, Zhang Wenyi of the Guangdong men's basketball team broke through with the ball in the fast break, and Fang Shuo caught up from behind and tried to stop his layup, but Fang Shuo's movement was too big, and his knee hit Zhang Wenyi's back, causing Zhang Wenyi to lose his balance and fall to the ground, clutching his back in pain. Du Feng was very angry when he saw this scene, he thought that Fang Shuo's actions were deliberate and suspected of hurting people, and he immediately protested to the referee and asked for a technical foul on Fang Shuo.
The referee ignored Du Feng's request, and just gave Fang Shuo an ordinary foul, which made Du Feng even more dissatisfied, and he began to scold Fang Shuo loudly, saying that he was a "wounder". Fang Shuo heard Du Feng's scolding, not to be outdone, he turned around and scolded Du Feng, saying that his actions were unintentional and he didn't want to hurt Zhang Wenyi. The quarrel between the two became more and more intense, and Du Feng even ran from the midfield to the sideline and continued to chase and scold Fang Shuo, and the scene was very hot for a while.
Fortunately, Zhai Xiaochuan of Beijing Shougang and Du Feng's assistant coach came out in time to dissuade him, they grabbed Du Feng and asked him to return to the bench, and at the same time, Zhai Xiaochuan also said a few words of comfort to Du Feng, saying that Fang Shuo did not mean it, and hoped that Du Feng would not be angry. Zhai Xiaochuan's words calmed Du Feng a little, and he stopped arguing with Fang Shuo, returned to his position, and continued to command the game. This is the end of the skirmish, but it left a deep impression on the fans.
Who is right and who is wrong, in fact, it is difficult to say clearly, Du Feng is to protect his players, Fang Shuo is to fight for his own rights and interests, they all have their own reasons, and they all have their own emotions. This may also be a charm of the game, allowing people to see different roles and emotions, and feel the passion and warmth of basketball.
