The main game of the CBA All-Star Weekend, an annual basketball sports event, ended yesterday. In the end, the South District Stars defeated the North District Stars with a score of 123 to 109 for the 14th consecutive year. This game this season The vote leader, Guo Ailun from the North District, had a mediocre touch in the All-Star game. He made only 6 of 17 shots and 1 of 8 three-pointers. He ended up with 13 points and 6 assists, and was unable to lead the North District to victory. Wu Qian, who scored 23 points and hit 7 three-pointers, was successfully elected as the MVP.
Although the performance was not good in this game, during the midfield, CBA presented major awards, and the players selected for the CBA 25th Anniversary Best Team came to the stage to receive the awards. What was touching was that , among the many CBA celebrities, only Guo Ailun is wearing the jersey, which has to be said to be the pride of many Liaoning people.
After losing to the powerful Guangdong team and finishing second last season, Guo Ailun led his Liaoning team to make a comeback this season. This season, the 27-year-old Guo Ailun has reached the peak of his career, averaging 23.4 points and 8.1 assists per game. Both of these statistics have reached the peak of his career. Thanks to his sharp breakthrough, his two-point shooting percentage is as high as 55.7, scoring points in the penalty area is like picking up something. There is no other local defender in the league who can complete breakthroughs and finish efficiently like him. Guo Ailun has made countless highlights this season. For example, last October, against the Tianjin team, Guo Ailun led the team to victory with 39 points, 11 assists, 5 rebounds and 3 steals. Just 11 days later, Guo Ailun scored 30 points, 12 assists, 6 rebounds and 3 steals with a shooting percentage of 10 of 16. While filling up the data column, he led the team to defeat Nanjing.
Under his leadership, the Liaoning team currently has the second-best record in the league with 36 wins and 8 losses, only three wins behind the Guangdong team, and will have great hopes of entering the league again. finals.
Guo Ailun's ability to become the top vote-getter has attracted the attention of a large number of fans. In addition to his superb skills, which are among the best in the country, there is also the bonus of his personality. On the surface, he is careless and talks a lot of insults. For example, after being elected as the All-Star vote leader, Guo Ailun said in an interview that the audience likes to watch me every year in the All-Star Game. In fact, this is my trouble. When the North District All-Stars took a group photo, he saw teammate Zhang Zhenlin giving up his front row seat to Zhou Qi. Guo Ailun joked that the people sitting in the front were all older. And he himself was obviously older than Zhou Qi, but he stood behind.
On the surface, Guo Ailun is careless and heartless, but he is actually a player who is full of responsibility and wants to carry the team on his shoulders. In the controversial World Cup in 2019, Guo Ailun was criticized by many fans because of his poor performance in key games. But what they didn't know was that Guo Ailun himself suffered more than any fan. Before competing in the World Cup that year, Guo Ailun averaged 15.7 points per game in the NBA Summer League. At that time, he was full of confidence and thought he could perform well at home and help the national team win Olympic qualifications, but unexpectedly Met in Waterloo. After playing in the World Cup, Guo Ailun also blamed himself very much and went through a trough period. When he first came back to play in the CBA, his state was extremely mediocre and he was obviously affected by the World Cup.
Guo Ailun is still young. He will still have the opportunity to play for the national team in the future. I hope that he can join hands with Yi Jianlian, the first brother of China who is currently recovering from injury and was also selected for the CBA 25th Anniversary Best Team, to once again play for the country. campaign.
