On April 10, Beijing time, the 2023-24 CBA playoffs officially started today. For the defending champion Liaoning Bengang men's basketball team, successfully winning the first place in the regular season also means that they have a good opportunity to get a bye in the first round. On the one hand, in order to allow new recruit Sharif Cooper to better integrate into the team and truly play the role of the third foreign aid, on the other hand, this more than a week of rest also allows Liao basketball fans to wait for "that man", so that he can get more rest and adjustment, so as to try to return in the playoffs in a better state.
However, just yesterday, a blockbuster news suddenly came out outside the CBA arena, and for a while, the pressure of the fans' focus was all given to Guo Allen, who was far away in Spain, and some netizens ridiculed and complained, seeing such news, presumably Guo Allen would cry helplessly and faint in the toilet.
Yesterday, Gao Shiyan, the guard of the Shandong high-speed men's basketball team, announced the news of his successful proposal to his girlfriend through his personal social media. As one of the tridents of the backcourt of the Liaoning men's basketball team in the past, Gao Shiyan also had a "close" professional experience with Guo Allen and Zhao Jiwei, even if Xiao Gao was loaned and transferred to the Shandong men's basketball team later, but every time he played against the Liaoning team, he was still regarded as a member of the Liaoning men's basketball team, and the sweet interaction between each other also proved the deep affection between Gao Shiyan and the Liaoning men's basketball team, as well as all the personnel of the Liaoning men's basketball team.
When Zhao Jiwei got married before, Gao Shiyan was also arranged as the captain of the logistics security team, and when someone asked Guo Allen about his plans for marriage, Allen could also use Gao Shiyan as a shield. Until Zhang Zhenlin also successfully proposed, and now Gao Shiyan is about to enter the marriage hall, among the old players of the entire Liaoning men's basketball team, only Guo Allen has not yet made his relationship public, to a certain extent, fans have ardent expectations for Guo Allen to start a family as soon as possible, and even more than he wins the CBA league MVP, scoring champion and other honors.
Before the playoffs started, letting Guo Allen learn the news of Gao Shiyan's successful marriage proposal must be a big "blow" to him. After all, when they were in the Liaoning men's basketball team, Guo Allen and Gao Shiyan had a very good relationship with each other, and they often used a man's way to complain, ridicule, and make all kinds of jokes to each other, but when they returned to the game, the two took each other as their own role models, both inside and outside the court, with their hard training and never-say-die spirit, they won the recognition and love of countless fans.
In this year's playoffs, if the Liaoning men's basketball team wants to defend its title again, it will be more difficult than in the previous two seasons. On the one hand, after completing two consecutive championships, the Liaoning men's basketball team has also become the object of competition for research by various teams, and even like Zhejiang men's basketball team and Guangdong Hongyuan, their multiple reinforcements are completely aimed at the Liaoning men's basketball team, and Wang Bo, the head coach of Zhejiang Guangsha, has thoroughly studied the basic tactics of the Liaoning men's basketball team, so that any gestures and runs made by Liaoning players on the court, Wang Bo can guess their intentions in advance. Secondly, due to the success of the Liaoning team in the past two seasons, the team has maintained stability in the overall lineup, but the lack of fresh blood injection, but also hidden many hidden dangers, such as the age of Han Dejun and Li Xiaoxu, and the injury risk of Zhao Jiwei and Zhang Zhenlin's continuous high-intensity battles, these are all problems that must be considered in advance in the journey of the Liaoning team to impact the three consecutive championships.
In any case, Guo Allen's return in the playoffs is great news for the Liaoning men's basketball team, and from the perspective of fans, I also hope that Guo Allen can really consider his lifelong events after helping the Liaoning team achieve the goal of three consecutive championships this season.
