With the official announcement of the Liaoning men's basketball team, Guo Allen will make a comeback on December 29, which can be said to be highly anticipated by many fans! Guo Allen last appeared on the CBA court was on May 15 this year, the fourth game of last season's finals, when the Liaoning basketball team defended the title at home!
In fact, in the finals at that time, Guo Allen fought with an injury, and many fans thought that after a few months of recuperation, Guo Allen would return with full blood in the new season, but before the start of this season, Guo Allen strained his leg again in a training session, and has been suspended until now.
And Guo Allen also lost the qualification for MVP in the regular season this season, because according to the regulations, players who must play at least 34 games in the regular season this season will be eligible for MVP, and Guo Allen has missed 21 rounds of regular season this season, and there are only 31 rounds of the remaining regular season.
At the same time, Allen Guo's 9 consecutive All-Star starters have also ended, because according to the regulations, players who are eligible for this season's All-Star starters must have played in the first 20 rounds of the regular season this season and play an average of more than 15 minutes per game.
At this time, some fans may say, why didn't Allen Guo choose to make a comeback in the Liao Basket away game against Qingdao on December 22, because if he played more than 15 minutes in that game, Allen Guo could not only have the qualification to be an All-Star starter, but also compete for the regular season MVP this season.
In fact, Guo Allen chose to make a comeback on December 29 for three main reasons, let's interpret it in detail. The first is that Guo Allen's current injury recovery is that he can play, because during the regular season, no one wants Guo Allen to fight with an injury.
The goal of the Liaoning men's basketball team this season is to achieve three consecutive championships, and Guo Allen is too important to the team. For Allen Guo himself, some personal honors are completely unimportant, and CBA selection of MVP requires complex formulas to calculate.
The selection of athletes in this way is not very convincing, Wang Zhelin is a good example, as the MVP of the regular season last season, there was an embarrassing scene of shooting over the bridge and not scoring a layup on the international stage.
The second reason why Guo Allen chose to make a comeback on December 29, this day is the last game of Liao Basket in 2023, which is of great significance, and more importantly, on New Year's Day 2024, Liao Basket will face Guangdong at home.
The Liaoyue War is the most interesting game in the CBA at the moment, Guo Allen chose to make a comeback before the Liaoyue War, the purpose is self-evident, the Liao Basket New Year's Eve home game against Guangdong, it must be to go all out to win!
As we all know, on December 29, Yi Jianlian will hold a retirement ceremony at the home of the Guangdong men's basketball team, and the significance of Yi Jianlian to the Chinese men's basketball team is well known, he is the leader of the Chinese men's basketball team after Yao Ming.
On this day, Guo Allen chose to make a comeback game, which means that the burden of the Chinese men's basketball team has been handed over to the players of Guo Allen's generation! Although the current results of the Chinese men's basketball team are very bad, and they have missed the Olympic Games twice in a row, Chinese basketball needs to be inherited, improved, and worked hard!
Although Guo Allen is not the strongest player in the national team, he is at least one of the most influential players in Chinese basketball at present. From the current sales out of tickets for the Fujian team's home stadium, it is enough to see how great Guo Allen's influence is! Perhaps the Fujian club never thought that its home tickets would be so popular one day!
On December 29, Yi Jianlian's retirement marked the end of an era for the Chinese men's basketball team! At the same time, Guo Allen's comeback also indicates that Chinese basketball will continue to move forward!
