Huge scandal in the playoffs of the Chinese championship!

China – Qualified for the quarter-finals of the playoffs, the Shanghai Sharks are excluded from the competition after “arranging” two meetings with the Jiangsu Dragons.

Sentenced to pay 750,000 dollars last week for having missed a meeting against the Bulls, Mark Cuban may have found himself stronger than him in terms of “cheating”… This Monday, the South China Morning Post reports as well as the Chinese league de basketball (CBA) has decided to exclude two teams from the playoffs after two “fixed” matches, and to banish their managers for several years, as well as to erase their results for the season. These are Shanghai Sharks and Jiangsu Dragons, opponents in the first round of the playoffs.

During Game 3, decisive, the Dragons, who led 100-96, are thus accused of having swung the end of the match with five loose balls to allow the Sharks to sign a 10-0 to win and qualify for the next round. A “money-time” indeed very suspicious, even if the images do not really allow to conclude to cheating, and especially show the f

low collective level of the teams, especially in the face of real defensive pressure.

But the federation, which may have other elements in its possession, even if it has not communicated them, also considered that the Sharks had voluntarily lost Game 2 so that Eric Bledsoe, suspended for four matches, only misses the first game of the quarterfinals series against the Shenzhen Leopards.

Result: Eric Bledsoe will no longer play, as will his teammate Michael Beasley, and the Shenzen Leopards have already qualified for the semi-finals. The Sharks, like the Dragons, will each have to pay a fine of 5 million yuan, or about 730,000 dollars. That’s a little less than the Mavericks’ fine…
