Guo Shiqiang led Guangzhou to the seventh best result in the league
Last season, Guo Shiqiang's guidance of the franchise, benefited from the advantage of three foreign aid, the team's 25-29 record came to the playoffs, and finally advanced to the playoffs, and the new season, when the team lost the advantage of three foreign aides, multiple teams also strengthened, no one can be optimistic about Guangzhou team can still achieve good results, but what about the facts?
First, the record.
So far this season, Guangzhou has achieved a record of 18 wins and 10 losses, and is currently in the seventh place in the league, Beijing, Shandong, Beikong, Jilin and Xinjiang, five teams have been left behind, which is what many experts and fans at the beginning of the season did not dare to imagine, and the team can achieve such a record, Guo Shiqiang's guidance for the team to build a solid defense.
Two years ago, Guangzhou lost an average of 109.65 points per game; last season, Guangzhou lost an average of 102.24 points per game; this season, Guangzhou's average score per game has dropped to 98.43 points, although it is only 12th in the league, but compared with the previous two seasons, it has been significantly improved, and this is the basis for their excellent record, because on the offensive end, Guangzhou has averaged 102.24 points per game this season, compared with 101.11 points two years ago, there is no qualitative change.
Guangzhou's defense is already the middle level of the league
2. Stars.
The reason why Guangzhou was not optimistic before this season is that there is no star. After two seasons of polishing, guangzhou team now has three star players:
1. Guo Kai. As a 2016 champion, Guo Kai completed the maximum salary extension with Guangzhou in the offseason, in return, this season he averaged 11.4 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.3 steals and 1 block with a 54% shooting rate, which is not visible from the data surface, but it is the most reliable internal pillar of the Guangzhou team, especially when Li Fu joined, Guo Shiqiang let Guo Kai and Li Fu have formed a downturn double tower interior line, which is very practical.
2. Zhu Mingzhen. Coming to the second season of his career, Zhu Mingzhen averaged 12.7 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.9 steals per game from 48% + 40% shooting, again, the data is not brilliant, but Zhu Mingzhen has become the league's best 3D star.
3. Chen Yingjun. As the 2017 draft leader, Chen Yingjun has become one of the top point guards in The country after two seasons under the guidance of Guo Shiqiang, so far in the season, he has averaged 19.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 10 assists and 1.4 steals per game with 58% + 41% shooting rate, 20 + 10 performance per game, and shooting rate above the average level, Chen Yingjun is already a top local point guard.

The above three are equipped with big foreign aid Liv, and guangzhou team has been promoted from a grassroots team of "0 stars" to the midstream level of the league.
Third, potential.
The Guangzhou team is not only achieving the current gratifying results, note that the team still has great potential to tap.
Li Yanzhe, Liu Haotong and Zhang Zhanwei have all been guided and cultivated by Guo Shiqiang this season, and the team also has an internal potential new star Wang Quanze, so guangzhou team has very solid local resources worth tapping.
The team currently has players who are playing stars, and there are new stars to be tapped on the inside line, and Guangzhou team Yin yin has embarked on the middle level camp.
Conclusion: The above three details confirm that Guangzhou is the most surprising team this season, and can even be called one of the biggest dark horses of the season, and the founder, Guo Shiqiang, is the coach.
