Click to enter the Men's Basketball Asian Championship惨defeat: players偷着laugh
Previously, news reports said that during the award ceremony of the Men's Basketball Asian Championship, Yi looked despondent and covered his face, while some players were laughing and joking around. The Basketball Association has already publicly criticized these players... They could have just secretly rejoiced in their hearts; they didn't need to show it! Laughing out loud is just telling everyone that they deliberately did this!
After resting for a day upon returning to Beijing, the Chinese men's basketball team held a summary meeting on the Asian Championship yesterday. Losing the championship at home has made the Chinese men's basketball team the target of public criticism, especially the individual players who were caught sneaking laughs on the podium, igniting fans' anger. At yesterday's summary meeting, the Basketball Management Center severely criticized the players who were laughing: "Whoever undermines the unity of the national team will be immediately expelled if we find out!" However, the issue of head coach Guo Shiqiang's future with the team was not addressed at the meeting.
It is understood that the Chinese men's basketball team's summary meeting lasted from morning until afternoon. Regarding the situation where some people looked despondent while others were sneaking laughs during the award ceremony, national men's basketball team leader Gong Ruming said: "We've seen the photos, and we've already criticized the players. Laughing like that in such an occasion can at least indicate two things. First, lacking a sense of honor - it's not to say that losing a game means one should be sad, but there should be at least some basic decorum. Second, disrespecting opponents - there are still your opponents on the podium, and there's the raising of the national flag and playing of the national anthem."
This is the first time the Basketball Management Center has made a direct response to the "sneak laugh incident". However, Gong Ruming stated that he believes this event has nothing to do with the rumors of discord between the players and Guo Shiqiang, or even the idea of using a loss in the final to "take down" Guo Shiqiang. As for the fans' speculation about "match-fixing", Gong Ruming firmly denies it and states the position of the Basketball Management Center: "Whether it's match-fixing or internal unity issues, if we verify it, the person involved will be permanently expelled from the national team, and possibly even banned from playing in any club!"
Men's Basketball Sneak Laugh Incident: the laughter of the men's basketball players on the podium after a crushing defeat is perplexing.
