China News Service, Beijing, January 14. The CBA League issued two heavy fines on the 14th. Shanghai and Beijing Enterprises coaches Li Chunjiang and Marbury, Liaoning team star Han Dejun and Guangdong team foreign aid Wemes were all suspended. Multiple penalties.
At the same time, in response to the excessive behavior of individual fans after the battle of Liaoning and Guangdong, the CBA League issued an official statement, severely condemning any racially discriminatory words and deeds.
In the 22nd round of the CBA regular season on the 13th, the Shanghai team defeated the North Control team 118:104, and the Liaoning team defeated the Guangdong team 102:90.
But in both events, regrettable things happened.
In the first quarter of the Shanghai-Beijing war, the head coaches of the two teams, Li Chunjiang and Marbury, accused each other and used insulting language. After the game, the two sides still insulted each other inappropriately.
In the third quarter of the Liaoning-Guangdong War, the Liaoning team center Han Dejun fell to the ground while attacking and defending against the Guangdong team's foreign aid Weems.
However, during the referee's application for video playback, Han Dejun punched Weems with a punch, and Weems fought back, causing the conflict to escalate. The referee and other players on the court discouraged the situation.
For the violations in the above two games, the CBA League issued two tickets on the 14th, and both Shanghai and Beijing coaches Li Chunjiang and Marbury were suspended for 2 games and fined 100,000 yuan (RMB, the same below).
Han Dejun was suspended for 7 games and fined 200,000 yuan; Weems was suspended for 5 games and fined 140,000 yuan.
What is even more surprising is that after the Liaoning-Guangdong War, some fans blocked the bus of the Guangdong team, and even insulted Weems with racially discriminatory words, which caused criticism from the outside world.
To this end, the CBA League issued an official statement on the 14th to severely condemn it.
The statement said that after the Liaoning-Guangdong War, some individuals used racially discriminatory words to abuse the players of the Guangdong team, which seriously damaged the image of the CBA league and CBA fans.
The CBA league is a big family, and every coach, player, and staff member who joins it is a member of this big family.
The CBA Alliance adopts a zero-tolerance attitude towards any discriminatory words and deeds, and firmly opposes and severely condemns any racially discriminatory words and deeds.
On the same day, the CBA League also joined hands with 20 clubs to jointly appeal to all fans of the CBA League:
Consciously abide by the law, follow public order and good customs, resist uncivilized behavior, and resist vulgar words and deeds; observe the etiquette of watching the game, and treat winning and losing rationally.
Respect opponents, respect referees, understand each other, and jointly create a good viewing environment.
Whether on or off the field, watch the game in a civilized manner, respect each other, do not do anything that damages the reputation of the team, and do not make remarks that are easy to provoke conflicts, and work together to show the spirit of Chinese fans.
