Guo Ailun going to Guangzhou is a win-win-win situation.
Looking at the latest standings, it becomes clear that at the beginning of the season, Liaoning Men's Basketball made an absolute win-win-win choice by allowing Guo Ailun to go to Guangzhou through a trade.
Firstly, for Liaoning Men's Basketball, this move met the demand for immediate combat power from a championship team, optimized the team structure, promoted the transfer of ball rights to Zhang Zhenlin on the front line, and难得地提升了球队的年轻化，当然也释放了部分薪资空间。为本赛季争冠卫冕注入了新鲜血液。
Judging from Wang Lanqin's performance, he has been a very capable substitute for Zhao Jiwei! Considering that this season's foreign players are limited to 7 per game in 4 quarters, the offensive gap left by Guo Ailun's transfer can be filled by Wells and Fugge. Currently, Liaoning ranks 5th in the standings, tied with Qingdao in 4th place, which is strategically successful! Once Zhang Zhenlin returns, the foundation for contending for the championship is still the strongest in the CBA.
Secondly, for Guo Ailun, joining Guangzhou also brings many benefits. He can fully recover from his injuries, allowing his long-standing injuries to heal, leverage his experience as a veteran to guide young players of Guangzhou Men's Basketball, and continue to obtain ball rights as a core player to play the basketball he wants. In this round of matches, Guo Ailun played for 30 minutes, and his role in organizing Guangzhou's tactics was very prominent, with 7 assists being the clearest proof.
Thirdly, for Guangzhou Men's Basketball, the biggest benefit of trading for Guo Ailun is releasing salary space while also acquiring an All-Star player. From the perspective of low-cost operations, Guo Ailun can bring traffic to Guangzhou Men's Basketball, provide guidance and motivation to young players on the court, and enhance the cohesion of the rebuilding team. The saying "having an old man at home is like having insurance" is particularly evident. Although they lost to Guangdong in the 31st round, the cohesion of Guangzhou Men's Basketball was fully demonstrated.
