A few days ago, the Chinese men's national basketball team is training in Europe, and Guo Allen, who is far away in Europe, made an important decision, he submitted a transfer application to the Liaoning men's basketball team, which caused an uproar. In fact, from the previous "poster incident" can already be seen that Guo Allen should definitely be a player in the C position of Liaoning Basket, but this position has been replaced by Zhang Zhenlin, which shows that the team's emphasis on it has been different from the past. With the increase of age, Guo Allen has gradually been slighted by the management of Liaoning Basket. However, what was not expected was that Guo Allen responded in the toughest way.
In a recent interview, Guo Allen revealed the reason for leaving the team, saying that the application to leave the team was a decision made under careful consideration, not a whim. He helped the Liaoning men's basketball team to win a lot of championships, and he was also honored, and the reward for the team's cultivation was enough. Hoping to go out and face more challenges, this decision is the most important in my career, not one of them.
Judging from Xiao Guo's attitude, this time he is determined to leave the team, not a joke as usual. In order to retain Guo Allen, the Liaoning men's basketball team even used the "lock people" rule to hope to retain Guo Allen with the maximum salary, but it is reported that Guo Allen has decided to reject this offer. For the Liaoning men's basketball team, the maximum salary can retain people, but it can't keep the heart, and if things are deadlocked in the end, Guo Allen may follow Zhou Qi's example and go overseas to play in anger.
In fact, it is not difficult to guess that some of the practices of the Liaoning men's basketball team in recent years have indeed hurt Guo Allen's heart, and this kind of clue has appeared as early as a few years ago. Liaoning men's basketball team has always had a tradition of "squeezing" heroes, this is by no means empty, from the Guo Shiqiang incident can be seen, Guo Allen is obviously affected by this, think that the team has insufficient respect for him, so he has the idea of leaving, but he still insists on helping the team in the National Games and leagues to win the championship before mentioning leaving, which can be described as the end of benevolence.
Let's talk about Zhang Zhenlin, who stands in the C position, some of his decisions have also caused the team a lot of headaches. The Liaoning men's basketball team put him in the center of the poster, the meaning is very clear, is to train Zhang Zhenlin to become the future brother of the team, but Zhang Zhenlin said that he hopes to continue to stay in the United States to work, in fact, this is also the case, he is currently receiving special training in the United States, constantly improving his shortcomings, increasing the ability to hold the ball offensively, these actions show that he hopes to stay in the NBA in the next new season. Perhaps Guo Allen's departure from the team has also caused some impact on him, after all, the relationship between the two is very good, Guo Allen has always been the big brother of the team, and he hopes to have a breakthrough.
In a recent update of Zhang Zhenlin's social media, he said that his first goal at present is to stay in the United States for special training, strive to get the trial training of NBA teams, and hope that he can enter the NBA no matter what. Even if you can't stay in the United States, you still want to experience a career in the United States. According to Australian media reports, Zhang Zhenlin's performance in the Summer League has been recognized by the NBL team, and the Southeast Melbourne Phoenix and the Eagles are currently hoping to sign Zhang Zhenlin.
You know, Asian players are very popular in the NBL, Zhou Qi caused a lot of repercussions after joining at that time, and the young Zhang Zhenlin has more potential, his playing style is also pleasing to the eye, and it is also the trend of the times to include him in the future planning of the NBL. In addition, many players have overseas experience, which is also a good thing for the Chinese men's basketball team, and perhaps next season, we can see three Chinese players in the NBL League.
However, in such a situation, the Liaoning men's basketball team is a little uncomfortable, if Guo Allen and Zhang Zhenlin both leave, the strength of the team will be greatly reduced, want to defend the championship, hope can be said to be minimal.
