Brother Cai commented on Liao Basket: Guo Allen's retirement turmoil, the deep thinking behind the top salary
Cai Ge said that on the basketball court, the situation changes, and the victory or defeat is often in an instant. However, behind this rapid change, there are always some constant themes – injuries, competition, contracts, and players that people love and hate. No, Guo Allen, the "No. 1 point guard in Asia" of the Liaoning men's basketball team, chose to withdraw from the game due to injury at this critical moment in the CBA finals.
The Liaoning men's basketball team, which has made waves in the CBA countless times, is now facing unprecedented challenges. In the finals G2, the Liaoning men's basketball team defeated the Xinjiang men's basketball team 97-86 at home. Guo Allen, the 1.90-meter-tall ace on the court, has undoubtedly put huge pressure on the team in his absence.
What Brother Cai wants to say is that Allen Guo's absence is not a trivial matter. Back then, with his sharp breakthroughs, accurate passing and scoring ability, he made opponents fearful. Now, he is unable to play due to injury, and the pressure on the guard line of the Liaoning men's basketball team has doubled, all of which is on Zhao Jiwei and Fogg. Although these two players performed well, the long period of high-intensity play also made their physical condition worrying.
Zhao Jiwei, the tactical core and offensive commander of the Liaoning men's basketball team, has been playing more and more in the playoffs this season. From the series against the Shenzhen men's basketball team with an average of more than 30 minutes per game, to the series against Guangdong Hongyuan with an average of more than 40 minutes per game, and then to the series against the Xinjiang men's basketball team with an average of more than 45 minutes per game, Zhao Jiwei has almost become an "iron man" on the court. It really hurts the fans! His performance is indeed admirable, but Brother Cai can't help but ask: Is this really worth it? After all, the body is the capital of the revolution, and without a healthy body, no matter how good the tactics are, they are in the air.
Let's talk about Fogg, the foreign player stepped up at crucial moments and contributed a lot to the team. However, after all, Ferg is only a foreign player in the team, and although his performance is excellent, it cannot fully make up for the loss caused by Guo Allen's absence. After all, Guo Allen's status and influence in the team are unmatched.
So, is it still possible for Allen Guo to play? Brother Cai tells you that the answer is no! In an interview a few days ago, Guo Allen bluntly said that "I really can't play this season". As soon as this sentence came out, it undoubtedly poured cold water on the fans of the Liaoning men's basketball team. It also caused a lot of dissatisfaction among fans! You must know that Guo Allen is the team's core defender, and his absence has no impact on the team.
So, what is the impact of Guo Allen's absence on the team? Cai Ge believes that the first is the increased pressure on the team's back line. The absence of Allen Guo has left Zhao Jiwei and Ferg with more responsibility, which undoubtedly increases their injury risk. Secondly, Guo Allen's absence has also affected the team's tactical system. After all, Guo Allen's position in the team is irreplaceable, and his absence has made the team need to make some tactical adjustments. Finally, Guo Allen's absence also affected the team's morale. As one of the team's core players, his absence has undoubtedly brought a certain amount of psychological pressure to the team.
Of course, Allen Guo's absence has also sparked some controversy. Some fans think that he has lived up to Yang Ming's expectations, after all, in the semifinals of Liaoyue, Yang Ming once expressed the idea of hoping that Guo Allen will come back. However, Cai Ge thinks this statement is a bit too harsh. After all, injuries are one of an athlete's worst enemies, and no one can predict or avoid them. Moreover, Allen Guo also tried to make a comeback, but in the end he was unable to play due to physical reasons. This shows that he did not mean to live up to the expectations of the team and the trust of the coach.
In addition, Allen Guo's withdrawal has also sparked discussions about his max salary contract. As one of the core players of the team, Guo Allen holds the maximum salary contract given by Liao Basket. However, he was unable to play many games in the playoffs this season due to injury, which led some fans and media to question whether he deserved the contract with the highest salary. Brother Cai believes that this kind of questioning has some justification. After all, as one of the core players of the team, he should contribute more to the team. However, we also need to understand the difficulties of athletes and the problems caused by injuries.
Of course, when it comes to Guo Allen's maximum salary contract, I have to mention his future whereabouts. As far as Cai Ge knows, after the end of this season, Guo Allen's Class D maximum salary contract will officially expire. Considering his competitive performance and physical condition this season, it is difficult for the Liaoning men's basketball team to provide him with a maximum salary to renew his contract. This means that Guo Allen may leave the Liaoning men's basketball team to join other teams in the future. For the Liaoning men's basketball team, this is undoubtedly a huge blow! After all, Allen Guo is one of the core players of the team, and his departure will inevitably have a great impact on the team's strength and tactical system.
But having said that, although Guo Allen's departure will bring some trouble to the Liaoning men's basketball team, Cai Ge believes that this team will be able to get through this difficulty. After all, basketball is a team sport, as long as the team can unite and work together, it will be able to create more brilliance! At the same time, Brother Cai is also looking forward to seeing Allen Guo regain his form and rejuvenate in the future and continue to contribute to the cause of Chinese basketball!
