On January 20th, Beijing time, although Guangzhou lost, Guo Ailun did not lose. He delivered an astonishing performance to prove that he deserves to be the All-Star starter, achieving a double-double in three quarters with a total of 27 points, 6 rebounds, and 12 assists, ranking third in the league.
The starting lineup for CBA stars has been announced, and Guo Ailun's selection has sparked controversy. After all, his statistics are not impressive, his performance is not outstanding, and his attendance rate is only 9 games, the lowest among all 10 starters. However, he has now proven himself and demonstrated his dominance.
Facing a flood of doubts, in the match against the third-ranked Shanxi team in the CBA league, Guo Ailun delivered an astonishing performance, achieving a super double-double with 12 points and 10 assists in just three quarters, completely finding his peak form. Despite Shanxi's strong strength as the third-ranked team in the league, Guo Ailun remained calm and led Guangzhou to compete with them until the last moment. If they couldn't win, it would really be due to a lack of hard power.
Although their power may not be enough, Guo Shao's statistics are guaranteed. The ironclad fact proves that he is still a very capable superstar. In fact, no matter how good the defense of the opposing team is in the league, it is impossible to stop Guo Ailun. Is Zhang Ning's defense from the Shanxi team not good? He also has skills, but he was mercilessly dominated by Guo Ailun. It's not that they defended poorly, but rather that Guo Ailun's personal ability is indeed too strong.
Throughout the fourth quarter, Guo Ailun went on an even more astonishing rampage, scoring 15 points in a single quarter, showing a stronger desire to win than anyone else, continuously hitting key shots, and exploding with 27 points, 6 rebounds, and 12 assists in the game with 8 out of 17 shots and 11 out of 12 free throws. When the score was being pulled apart, it was Guo Ailun's performance that helped his team regain suspense. When playing seriously, he is truly the strongest giant guard in the league.
It can only be said that choosing him as the CBA All-Star starter was definitely the right decision. What does Guo Ailun's data mean? It completely outperforms Zhao Jiwei. If Zhao Jiwei can make the All-Star starting lineup, then Guo Shao should definitely be in it as well. Looking at the statistics since his return, Zhao Jiwei scored 6 points in the last game, 12 points against Ningbo, 6 points against Shanghai, and only 4 points against Qingdao. Guo Ailun's score in one game equals the total of Zhao Jiwei's scores in four games. If Zhao Jiwei can start, why shouldn't Guo Shao start? The facts prove that the selection is correct.
