On the evening of August 14, a large-scale conflict broke out between the Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team and the American Explorers Basketball Team during the "Qiaonan Wudaojie Cup" China-US Professional Basketball Challenge.
From August 8 to 14, Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team played four warm-up matches with teams from the United States, Serbia and Russia in Pingliang, Gansu, Xining, Qinghai and Tianshui, Gansu. In the first three warm-up matches, Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team has won three consecutive victories.

In the match on August 14, Xinjiang players and their opponents pushed each other continuously, and then the players from both sides exchanged punches and kicks on the court, and even the opponent players took boxing stances. The players from both sides fought hard, and the security personnel on the scene stepped forward to persuade them to stop fighting, and then the two sides gradually separated.

In the first warm-up match on August 8, Xinjiang Men's Basketball defeated the American Explorers 65-55. In the second match on August 12, Xinjiang defeated the Explorers 89-81, and the players of both sides had a quarrel at that time.
Sports blogger @阿才说球 explained the cause of the conflict on Weibo: "I found a relatively complete video, which showed Li Yanzhe shooting free throws and Huang Rongqi being slapped by the opposing player when he was grabbing a rebound. He was considered bullied. Only in this situation did other players stand up for their teammates!"
Sports blogger @StarXia Australian Basketball posted a video saying: "My friend spent a lot of time and energy to organize this game. In the game between Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team and American Explorers Basketball Team in the 'Qiaonan Wudaojie Cup' China-US Professional Basketball Challenge, the players of both teams failed to control their emotions on the court. What's even more speechless is that the cameraman tried to move the camera from the court to the audience seats, but accidentally captured the minors watching the game off the court, imitating and hitting each other!"
Fortunately, the two teams reconciled after the game. Media person @球圈赵探长 posted a group photo of the two teams after the game. The Explorers basketball team's social media also posted a video of the two sides shaking hands and hugging, revealing that they had a friendly exchange for ten minutes and were still brothers and friends off the court.
