At that time, Guangdong University of Technology and Jiangxi Normal University were in the same group, with two wins and two losses. In the last game, the loser will face the weaker opponent after entering the knockout stage, and the winner will face Peking University. You know, Peking University was the champion last year, and two players, Wiliam and Zhang Ning, were selected for the cba team, which is very strong. So in order to avoid meeting Peking University in the knockout stage, both teams want to lose the game.
So now in this game, the two teams have changed from their previous skills to acting skills, reducing the pace of the game to the slowest and having no desire to attack. Sometimes players will deliberately make mistakes to let the ball go, or even turn a blind eye to teammates' passing and let the ball go out of bounds. What's even more outrageous is that once after throwing an air ball at Jiangxi Normal University, the teammates of Guangdong University of Technology actually helped each other put the ball into their own basket. It can be said that this is really an ugly game.
In fact, the reason why this happens is because cuba League is not perfect and strict in formulating the competition system. At that time, the opponents in the knockout stage were directly decided according to the group ranking, so those teams were given the opportunity to choose their opponents actively. I think cuba League should change its competition system. Instead of directly determining the opponents in the final knockout stage through the ranking of the group stage, it is better to let the teams entering the knockout stage draw lots again to select their opponents, so as to ensure the fairness of the game and prevent the vicious incidents of match-fixing from happening at the root.
