If he didn't have that true temperament, he wouldn't be Guo Allen.
With the Liaoning men's basketball team last game lost to the Shanxi men's basketball team, suffered the first defeat of the season, Guo Allen finally ushered in the fifth round of the league season debut, he lived up to expectations, in 34.5 minutes of playing time, three-point shots 5 shots, the team's highest 28 points, in addition to 8 assists, 5 rebounds and 1 steal, to help the team beat the Xinjiang men's basketball team 109-99, to avoid losing streak.
Guo Allen is a player with his own topic and controversy, as a defender, he has the league's best counterattack and breakthrough ability, but he is not particularly stable in shooting. However, in the semi-finals and finals of the National Games that ended not long ago, Guo Allen's performance of two consecutive 30+ shows that in the domestic basketball world, his three-point scope, positioning has been accurate enough, and the ability to combine shots and surprises is the existence of a unique file.
In the fertile soil of Liaoning, a lot of excellent basketball defenders have been bred, but also because of the talent of the defender line, in order not to delay the development of players, the Liaoning men's basketball team loaned Gao Shiyan to the Shandong men's basketball team last season, coupled with the fact that small foreign aid is not in place now, which leads to the fact that without Guo Allen, the opponent can unscrupulously wrap and delay Zhao Jiwei. Once this trick does not work, then go all out to cut off the connection between Zhao Jiwei and his teammates.
Therefore, when Guo Allen qualified for the game, many Liaoning fans joked: "Zhao Jiwei said, I can't bear it alone, I have to pay a fine, how much is the difference?" I'll help you pay! ”
Thousands of calls began to come out, encountered the old opponent Xinjiang men's basketball team, even if the other side was less Than Zhou Qi, the first four games only won 1 victory, but Guo Allen, who had a fever before, still came back. In this way, the Liaoning men's basketball team once again formed a combination of Guo Allen + Zhao Jiwei, a defender combination that has both breakthrough and tandem functions.
And Guo Allen is not at all like a long-distance battle, as soon as he came up, he hit a three-pointer, knocked the mountain and shocked the tiger, showing a good competitive state. With Guo Allen, Zhao Jiwei finally did not have to attack a shoulder to pick, while the Liaoning men's basketball team's conversion speed was also much faster, 9 minutes and 28 seconds, Zhao Jiwei quickly dribbled to the front court, Guo Allen had rushed to the top of the arc position, took Zhao Jiwei's pass and dribbled two steps, and when the opponent made up for it, he distributed the ball to Zhu Rongzhen, who had no one to defend under the basket, and Xiao Zhu made a foul on the basket and added two points to the free throw.
Guo Allen's most powerful is still his strong assault from defense to attack, just in the next round after sending a wonderful pass for Zhu Rongzhen, Guo Allen stepped on the hot wheel to kill the frontcourt, facing Tang Caiyu, who was taller than himself, he did not recklessly, but only shot after physical contact with the opponent, two points to hand. Therefore, even if Han Dejun just started the game, due to Guo Allen's strong play, the Liaoning men's basketball team started with an 11-2 shockwave, laying the foundation for the direction of the game.
With Guo Allen, Yang Ming's choices have also become more, he used a double defender for a while, he removed Guo Allen, and replaced Zhao Jiwei with Guo Allen in the last few minutes of the first quarter, changing different rhythms to impact opponents. In the last 20 seconds of the quarter, Guo Allen and Han Dejun's classic blocking and dismantling, after a shake, the opponent's defensive attention was all on Han's body, Guo Allen stopped jump shot and hit, scoring 10 points in a single quarter.
In just one session, Guo Allen used all eighteen martial arts, whether it was the defensive general Dehao or the tall point guard Silzati, he was handy.
In fact, in addition to the kaleidoscopic offensive means, Guo Allen's strength on the court that does not accept defeat, and the defense that he works the defensive end, is the basis for his survival, which can inject vitality and tenacity into the Liaoning men's basketball team. For example, in the second quarter, Qi Lin was blocked, and some people would only ridicule Guo Allen's bounce difference, but it should be understood that as a defender, Guo Allen was able to appear on the last line of defense, use his body to block more than two meters of forwards, and willingly become the background board of the top ten balls. As a player who has been famous for many years, It is rare that Guo Allen can maintain such enthusiasm as always.
It is worth mentioning that even if he has returned, it can still be seen that Guo Allen will cough on the field, and his cold has not yet healed, but he chooses to take the disease to the battle for the sake of the overall situation.
However, after shooting a three-point shot in the third quarter, Guo Allen signaled to the referee that the opponent had hit his hand, and the result was a technical foul, or the familiar temper, or the familiar Guo Allen. But this is Guo Allen, if there is no true temperament, he is not Guo Allen.
In the second half of the third quarter, the Liaoning men's basketball team pulled the point difference to nearly 20 points, the game has no suspense, sitting on the bench Guo Allen is full of smiles, looking very comfortable and relaxed. The Xinjiang men's basketball team is still resisting, and Guo Allen created The sixth personal foul of Silzati in the last quarter, giving the youngster a good lesson, and then used a turn to basket to continue to expand the point difference, and calmly pocketed the victory.
Of course, it cannot be said that Guo Allen's return can ensure that the Liaoning men's basketball team can win the championship, but with him, they have enough confidence to compete with Guangdong and Zhejiang, and at the same time, they are on the right track.
Guo Allen is back, and that is a good thing.
