In the Chinese basketball world, Allen Guo is a well-known name. Not only is he outstanding on the pitch, but he is also in the public spotlight off the pitch. Recently, Allen Guo has once again become a hot topic, but this time not because of his demeanor on the court, but because of his series of actions off the court.
Let's take a closer look at this "two-faced" star, explore the story behind him, and the deep thinking about sports, business and philanthropy triggered by these events.
Recently, Guo Allen has become the focus of public opinion because of his public demand for unpaid wages. He directly called out Jia Yueting, the former chairman of LeTV, on social media, asking for 1.5 million yuan in arrears in the 2016 post-Japanese contract.
This move undoubtedly shows his straightforward and outspoken character, and also shows the risks that professional athletes may face in business cooperation.
Guo Allen's behavior quickly caused heated discussions on the Internet. Some netizens supported him to protect his legitimate rights and interests, believing that his approach set a good example for all professional athletes, that is, to stand up bravely and speak out in the face of unfair treatment.
Some voices also pointed out that Guo Allen, as a public figure, should pay more attention to his image and influence, and avoid publicly venting his emotions on social media.
Allen Guo is not just a "salary seeker". While openly asking for salary, he also showed a heart-warming side. When he learned that a little girl in Henan needed help due to her injuries, he did not hesitate to provide 30,000 yuan for treatment.
This act of kindness has given people more respect and affection for the basketball star. He is not only an athlete who works the court, but also a person with a sense of social responsibility.
Guo Allen's actions have also triggered people's thinking about the commercialization and professionalism of the CBA league. As the top basketball league in China, the CBA has undoubtedly made great strides in recent years.
Compared with the NBA and other top international leagues, the CBA still has a big gap in terms of commercialization and professionalism. Guo Allen's salary bargaining incident may be just the tip of the iceberg, which reflects the problems existing in the CBA in terms of business cooperation and the protection of players' rights and interests.
Zhu Fangyu, general manager of Guangdong Hongyuan team, also attracted attention on social media. His rhetoric was not only to boost the team's morale, but also to some extent to respond to fans' doubts about the team's defeat in the last game.
As a strong team in the CBA, Guangdong Hongyuan naturally does not want to drop the chain at a critical moment. Zhu Fangyu's statement also shows us the cruelty and charm of competitive sports: no matter what kind of difficulties they face, athletes and coaching teams need to have enough confidence and determination to meet the challenges.
The Liaoning team also maintains a high degree of vigilance in this regard. They know very well that although Guangdong Hongyuan lacks the strength of Zhou Qi, it is still a team that should not be underestimated. Liaoning will need to make the most of their strengths and at the same time grasp the weaknesses of their opponents in order to take the initiative in the next games.
Epilogue:
Allen Guo's public salary bargaining and kindness have undoubtedly brought us a lot to think about. He is not only a professional athlete who dares to defend his rights, but also a caring public welfare person. His story gives us a glimpse into the multifaceted nature of sports stars on and off the pitch. These events have also sparked discussions about the commercialization and professionalization of the CBA league. We look forward to the CBA being able to continue to improve itself in the future and provide a better protection of rights and interests and a better business environment for players.
As fans, we appreciate the performances of our athletes on the pitch as much as their lives and stories off the pitch. Guo Allen told us with his actions: an excellent athlete should not only strive for progress on the court, but also shoulder social responsibility and responsibility in life.
