Why is the U21 men s basketball team so harsh?

4:30pm, 2 August 2025Basketball

Yesterday morning, the Chinese Basketball Association announced the ticket for the U21 men's basketball team fight. This time the ticket was really too harsh. Four players were suspended for three years, 13 players were suspended for 8 games, and 7 players were suspended for 1 game. The clubs of both sides lost their qualifications to participate, and the team leader and head coach were suspended for 8 games. I don’t know if this is the largest fine ever issued by the Basketball Association, but it is definitely the most ruthless in recent years. As for why it is so strict, I personally think there are two aspects. First, the Basketball Association kills the chicken to scare the monkey, and second, this incident has caused extremely bad social impact.

First of all, let's talk about the Basketball Association. This year is the first year of the Basketball Association's change of leadership. The new leader has come to power but has not achieved decent results so far. The U19 Men's and Women's Basketball World Cup and Women's Basketball Asian Cup have not achieved good results, and the Men's Basketball Asian Cup is also very difficult. At this time, the U21 men's basketball team broke out in a group fight, and the leaders of the Basketball Association were full of anger and had no place to expose themselves. This was necessary to kill the chicken to warn the monkey. If the handling was done lightly this time, it would be impossible to suppress it in the future. And these are all young players. If they are asked to bring these habits into the CBA, their influence will be greater. From this point of view, the Basketball Association's fines are not small.

Moreover, this group fight caused a very bad social impact. After Yang Hansen was selected into the NBA, a basketball craze in China was triggered, and many children regained their enthusiasm for basketball again. As a result, there was a group fight in the U21 game. When the parents saw that they had to fight to play basketball, how could they dare to let their children continue to play basketball? Moreover, the wave of favor that Chinese basketball just gained was gone. Everyone thought that the basketball court was not as brutal as before. As a result, a group fight brought Chinese basketball back to its origin

In addition, this group fight triggered a series of online violence and verbal battles, and fan circle culture appeared again, causing a far greater influence than an ordinary court conflict. Under these influences, the Basketball Association made a ruthless move and issued a heavy fine directly. Young people's impulse caused such serious consequences. I think they regretted it too, but it was too late. Let's go to American universities to exercise first in the past three years. What do you think about this?
