On January 16th, Beijing time, after 45 days, Guo Ailun staged another comeback masterpiece! He witnessed an intense conflict and brawl on the scene, but his reaction was very interesting.
In the match between Guangdong and Guangzhou, Guangzhou men's basketball team welcomed the return of their core leader Guo Ailun. This game was the first time Guo Shao returned after 45 days. The last time he played for Guangzhou team was on December 2nd, and it has been 45 days since then.
After waiting for a month and a half, Guo Shao returned without rusting. Although he didn't score in two shots in the first half, he grabbed 3 rebounds and sent out 6 assists. Despite the appearance of ironing, he could still contribute in other aspects. However, an interesting moment occurred on the court in the third quarter, when both sides actually had a conflict.
It was clearly a derby, with both sides being teams from Guangdong, but there was a scene of fighting on the court. The domestic players were relatively friendly, and no one caused trouble under the leadership of Guo Ailun, but the foreign players fought. At 6 minutes and 26 seconds in the third quarter, Warren, the foreign player of Guangzhou team, collided with Morand when attacking the basket. Morand hit him hard, and Warren was very angry. He immediately rushed up to argue with Morand, and the two sides directly had an intense conflict and began to push each other.
They started fighting on the spot. If it weren't for the players on both sides standing by, they might really have fought, which would be a melee. Just as the two sides started fighting, there was a very funny scene. What was Guo Ailun doing? Guo Ailun was the only one who didn't try to break up the fight. All the teammates of Guangdong men's basketball team rushed up to break up the fight and quickly separated the people, including Xu Jie, who is too short but also mixed in the crowd to break up the fight.
On the Guangzhou side, in addition to Warren who participated in the fight, three other teammates also rushed up. Out of 10 people on the court, 9 came over and became a mess, but only Guo Ailun was interestingly playing by himself on the side. Watching them fight, Guo Ailun went over to kick the basketball down with his foot, then started playing football with the basketball, and then started dribbling by himself.
Nine people were fighting next to him, but Guo Shao was playing by himself there. This scene also shows that Guo Ailun is indeed experienced and has seen many ups and downs. These trivial matters are not worth going up for him, nor does he need to go up to help his teammates break up the fight or something. He thinks these things are normal. Who hasn't fought before? Moreover, Warren was angry because at the beginning of this round, Ren Junfei pulled Warren with a fierce foul, which was already a very dirty action, and then led to the conflict between Morand and Warren.
The two sides just fought like this, and Guo Ailun could really be at ease dribbling there. Not only dribbling, but he also tried to shoot a three-pointer later, looking at the intense conflict beside him with a calm expression. This is a super star who has experienced many ups and downs. Guo Ailun's mentality is really admirable. The pushing and noise on the court had nothing to do with him, and he was like an outsider.
Of course, under such circumstances, Guo Ailun's state in this game was not very good. He made 5 shots in three quarters and missed all of them. Even free throws were two for two, with only 0 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, which is indeed worse than Xu Jie on the other side. I hope his state will come back soon.
