The day before the start of the second stage of CBA, Nanjing Tongxi team was judged late at night: at least the first three games of the second stage, they will be sentenced to 0-20.
The official announcement was cold: Tongxi team failed to participate in this competition due to its own reasons.
What is “self-cause”? It’s your sheep.
Sheep is equivalent to refusing to play, which is also the only case in the history of world basketball. In the competition under the International Basketball League, South Korea was sentenced to 0-20 because of sheep or fear of sheep, but that was because they refused to participate in FIFA World Cup qualification. Tongxi team was pulled away collectively.
Nowadays, the epidemic prevention policy is undergoing unprecedented adjustment in most areas of China. CBA directly judges Tongxi team, and even there are still several occasions behind it, which is extremely incongruous with the general situation.
It is essentially different from refusing to participate in the competition because sheep are pulled away and isolated collectively.
The CBA new season is unified with the rules of the International Basketball Federation. According to the rules of the International Basketball Federation, the basis for judging a team from 0 to 20 is strictly defined, especially highlighting the subjective will of the team to be awarded: first, you came and didn’t come. Second, you refused to play.
The so-called rules look cold, but they must be reasonable. Unreasonable rules are not good rules, and unreasonable rules should not exist. Rules that do not conform to human feelings are not good rules. Even if they exist, they will not last long.
Does anyone want sheep? No, so sheep are not subjective behavior. Are they willing to be pulled away? I don’t want to, so I can’t play the game objectively.
The worst thing is that this judgment of 0-20 runs counter to the developing situation of the country.
With regard to prevention and control, various official media are conveying new spirits through various forms: “The most difficult period has passed, the virulence of the ormikrong virus is weakening, and our coping ability is increasing, this lays the foundation and provides conditions for continuous optimization and improvement of prevention and control measures.”
Under the new situation, various places are adjusting the prevention and control policies one after another. For example, in addition to eating and singing karaoke and playing secret rooms, nucleic acid is no longer needed in public places, and even non-essential nucleic acid is advocated. CBA is a special part of “large-scale activities”, but even if it is used as nucleic acid, it should keep up with the situation in terms of prevention and control measures.
The “regulations on the prevention and control of the CBA league epidemic in the 2022-2023 season” mentioned in the announcement was made at a relatively tight stage of the National Prevention and Control Policy, in line with the situation and conditions at that time, and may not be coordinated with the current new situation.
With the change of the general situation, the cases of social infection will increase greatly. Basketball players are also human beings. Since aerosol can also spread, how can athletes be called “their own reasons” when they are pulled away?
The CBA alliance must also feel helpless, because the secret connection will also be pulled away, which is probably the regulation of the local prevention and control policy. However, within the scope of the league’s authority, it is completely possible to treat the team that has been pulled away more humanely and directly judge them 0-20. Do you want to express such an attitude: you have sheep, it’s your own problem, and you have the responsibility to make yourself not sheep.
This is not half a year ago. In this situation, who can guarantee that he is not sheep?
Under the condition that the probability of changing sheep is greatly increased, the old method is still used, which does not conform to the knowledge vigorously publicized by the state: the infectivity of ormikrong is particularly strong, and the virulence is weakening. Treating the new situation with the old method is nothing more than carving a boat and seeking a sword.
Even if we strictly abide by the local prevention and control policies and pull the team away collectively, there should be a more humane way to treat their missing matches and postpone the rematch, this was a common way for professional leagues around the world during the epidemic.
Because everyone is playing in the closed park, it does not involve the main and away flights, and it is very convenient to make up the match. If the schedule is arranged and it is very tight, the most extreme way can put the competition at 9 o’clock in the morning. You should know that the second phase of the opening match between Liaoning and Beijing control was also placed at 11 am, and the Guangdong war in Jilin was also at 11 o’clock. This season did not completely schedule the competition according to the rules of hot games.
Is it too inhuman to let the team play as early as 9 o’clock? It is nothing more than special handling under special circumstances, which is better than direct judgment of 0-20. China played the world championship in the United States men’s basketball, which was also 9 am. Besides, there are at least 8 days in the second stage, and there is only one match for each of the two stadiums. Can’t you find a date?
A basketball league should also be people-oriented and game-oriented. The team members worked hard to prepare for more than a month. After preparing for another summer, they directly sentenced 3 games to 0-20, completely ignoring the players’ efforts. You scratch lightly and three games are gone. It is really convenient for a league, but for a team, one year has passed and one season’s efforts have gone.
There is another point of view, that is to be fair, since the Guangdong team was sentenced to 0-20 in the first game, then the later team will also be sentenced to a negative. As everyone knows, the 0-20 judgment of the ball has already been punished, regardless of the particularity of the epidemic itself.
Moreover, doing so also brings great confusion and hidden danger to the later games. The current situation is not faster than two years ago. The social spread is very fast. Even if you are enclosed in Zhuji’s Park, you can ensure that you live in a vacuum? Today is sentenced to 0-20, and tomorrow is sentenced to 0-20. Can such a league still reflect the real ability and performance of the team in the end?
CBA is a professional league, but in the ranking of points, it adopts the method of winning 2 and losing 1 in the international basket. In normal years, it is extremely rare to judge 0-20, and the points system can generally reflect the strength. But 0-20 has no points, so a 0-20 game will greatly change the ranking, don’t say several games. If there are multiple teams from 0 to 20, the points will be out of order. If the winning rate system is adopted, even if some games are canceled and the number of teams varies, the ranking will not be affected.
Keep pace with the times, adjust the prevention and control policies, rest when the sheep are gone, and play without the sheep, so that the league can proceed normally, stably and smoothly. Blindly arbitrarily judge 0-20. Think about China’s experience in men’s basketball and the Asian Cup. If you were also given a few 0-20 sentences at that time, would the World Cup be yellow again next year?
