97-112, the Shanghai men's basketball team lost to the powerful defending champion Guangdong men's basketball team in the fourth round of the regular season.
Although the final score difference was large, the game was not one-sided, and both teams played very anxiously for most of the game. For the Shanghai men's basketball team, the biggest reason for the loss is that the team is not running well, and they have made many low-level mistakes in the game.
For the Shanghai men's basketball team, such a game will definitely have a lot of gains, one of which is that the team has figured out how to use Guo Haowen. The CBA's strongest post-00 played brilliantly in this game, contributing a team-high 28 points off the bench, shooting 8 goals in 11 shots, and shooting 5 of 7 from the three-point line.
At 6 minutes and 45 seconds before the end of the second quarter, Guo Haowen came on as a substitute for Liu Zheng, at which point the team was already 12 points behind the Guangdong men's basketball team. On the offensive end, both Wang Zhelin and Franklin were limited, and the team had almost no way. Under the pressure, Guo Haowen stood up, he first scored on the layup, then hit a three-pointer, and when the attack was about to arrive, he hit a super difficult ultra-long-range three-pointer under Zhao Rui's defense.
Relying on his eight-point play in three rounds, the Shanghai men's basketball team successfully narrowed the point difference to 8 points and stabilized the situation.
In the third quarter of the game, Guo Haowen was given the opportunity to enter the first team, and this period also became his personal performance time. Almost fully seasoned, he hit 4 of 6 shots while winning 8 free throws and contributing 14 points in a single quarter. Counterattacks, trench warfare breakthroughs, catch-and-jump three-point shots, and dribbling three-pointers are almost everything, and neither Zhou Peng nor Hu Mingxuan can limit him.
It is precisely by relying on his play that the Shanghai men's basketball team once narrowed the point difference to 1 point. Unfortunately, in the fourth quarter of the game, Guo Haowen did not get too much ball possession, only 2 shots.
Facing the defense of the Guangdong men's basketball team, Guo Haowen can still play such a level of play, which is enough to prove his ability. In fact, in the current CBA league, almost no player can limit his breakthrough in a one-on-one situation, which also gives him the potential to become the offensive strength of the Shanghai men's basketball team.
In the Shanghai men's basketball team, Guo Haowen's most suitable role is the core of the second team. Attack is not Guo Haowen's only choice, he also has quite good skills in passing, and he has given 5 assists in this game. When his personal attack is opened, the other side is bound to choose to assist in defense, and in the case of obvious height advantages, Guo Haowen can see the opportunities of his teammates and send out wonderful passes in time.
In this game, Guo Haowen did not get too many opportunities in the final quarter. In the follow-up games, the Shanghai men's basketball team should be more resolute and give Guo Haowen more ball rights.
