Additionally, during the first and second quarter breaks and at the 6:41 mark of the second quarter, Zhejiang club investor Jin Zijun entered the scorer’s table area to engage in discussions, thereby interfering with the table officials’ work. These actions violated the Chinese Men’s Basketball Professional League Disciplinary Regulations and negatively impacted the league’s image.

As per Articles 75 and 77 of Chapter Seven of the regulations, the Yiwu venue has been stripped of eligibility for the 2025-2026 season’s Best Venue Organization and Best Security awards, while Zhejiang club will have 110,000 yuan deducted from its league fund. Furthermore, according to the CBA Youth-Friendly Venue Scoring System, Zhejiang received 6 penalty points. The club and Yiwu venue are also ordered to strengthen guidance and education for fans to ensure orderly and safe future events.

Pursuant to Article 49 of Chapter Four, investor Jin Zijun has been suspended for one game and fined 50,000 yuan. Since Zhejiang’s season has concluded, the suspension will apply to the first regular season game of the next campaign. The fines must be paid in accordance with Article 13 of Chapter One of the regulations.
