Broken Dreams: Chinese Basketball Superstar’s Homecoming Turns Sour as Fans Demand His Return to Allen

In the CBA regular season, Liaoning played against Guangzhou at home and defeated its opponent 97-86. This game was the first time Guo Ailun returned to Shenyang after being traded to face his old club. Unfortunately, he did not play.

For Guo Ailun’s return home, the Liaoning men’s basketball team also sent a tribute ceremony. Not only did they carefully produce a video to review Guo Ailun’s 14-year career in Liaoning, they also awarded championship rings on the spot. Former teammates, Liaoning coaching staff and management also paid tribute to Guo Ailun. We took a group photo together, which was quite heartwarming.

Looking up at the big screen, Guo Ailun also had mixed feelings. When being interviewed, Guo Ailun said, “I didn’t dare to go back to the home court of Liao Basketball Team. When I heard the fans shouting, I couldn’t help but want to cry.”

Behind Guo Ailun are his die-hard fans. Guo Ailun’s No. 13 jersey is hung on the fence, including Liaoning and Guangzhou jerseys.

However, some die-hard fans shouted “1234 give me back Allen” at the scene, which attracted some criticism. Some media people believed that such fandom-oriented slogans tarnished competitive sports.

But the bigger controversy was Guo Ailun’s truce. He did not participate in the game because he was ill with a fever. However, judging from Guo Ailun’s physical condition, he is not unable to play. In the NBA, for a game with such topicality and attention, the absence of the protagonist will inevitably trigger an investigation by the league. However, there is no such trouble in the CBA, but it is a big regret. Guo Ailun cannot play, which makes the game less topical. Sex and spectacle.
