Allen Guo, the core player of the Chinese men's basketball team, has recently attracted the attention of fans. He is not currently participating in Liaoning's pre-season warm-up games because he has received a new contract and he also works as a basketball World Cup commentator on a platform. The basketball World Cup is nearing its end, and the next games will undoubtedly be more intense and exciting, after all, it has entered the knockout stage.
After seeing Slovenia eliminated because Doncic was sent off, Guo Allen also sighed. Late at night, he posted an article saying that this miscalculation is very harmful to athletes. He also referred to a match at the Chinese men's basketball World Cup four years ago, against Poland, in which he was sent off early for five fouls. In that article, he bluntly said that it would be his last World Cup. It can be seen from his speech that Allen Guo seems to have made some kind of decision in his heart.
The 2027 Men's Basketball World Cup will be held in Doha, Qatar, and Guo Allen of the Chinese men's national basketball team is already 34 years old. Despite his age, given his financial status, professional attitude and rich experience in international competitions, and his strength is still good enough, it is likely that he will be recruited if the national team needs him.
The question now is whether Allen Guo is still willing to represent the national team. In this year's Men's Basketball World Cup, Allen Guo was not selected for the men's basketball training team for various reasons, which may make him less determined to the national team and make him no longer consider participating in the competition.
At present, the entertainment media has more support for athletes to choose whether to participate in the national team. If Allen Guo himself is not willing to join the team, although his rank and strength meet the requirements of the national team, the basketball association will not recruit him as forcefully as before. This has already been demonstrated in the men's basketball Asian Cup. At that time, the players of the Liaoning team were reluctant to participate in the Asian Cup, and Du Feng, as the head coach, respected the wishes of the players and did not recruit several players from the Liaoning team, including Guo Allen.
What we call Allen Guo's professional attitude is very understandable. The 34-year-old defender has maintained an excellent level and can be said to be a first-line player. His presence can not only become a strong contender on the back line of the national team, but also provide valuable experience and strength support for the team. The lack of such an excellent veteran in the national team will undoubtedly cause a certain loss to the team's combat effectiveness.
In addition, Allen Guo's popularity and topic creation ability cannot be ignored. His presence is able to attract more attention and increase the visibility of the national team. For the players, this is undoubtedly a great encouragement and can inspire a more positive attitude and confidence. Therefore, the loss of Allen Guo will undoubtedly have a certain impact on the cohesion and performance of the team. It's a pity, both in terms of the attention of the game and the motivation of the players.
However, we must admit that the basketball association is also helpless when faced with this situation. As mentioned earlier, public opinion today is more inclined to support and respect the individual choices of players. If Allen Guo is forcibly recruited into the team, it may bring unnecessary negative pressure to the Chinese men's basketball team. After all, in this day and age, the pursuit of personal interests and free choice has become a universal value. The basketball association had to weigh the pros and cons and make appropriate decisions.
