Jilin vs Guangzhou Preview: Guangzhou Aims for Consecutive Wins, Will Guo Ailun Maintain His Hot Streak?

At 19:30 on November 1st, the 9th round of the CBA regular season continues with Jilin Jiutai Rural Commercial Bank hosting Guangzhou Longtai Haiben.

Jilin has had a decent start to the season, with a record of 4 wins and 4 losses. After suffering two consecutive losses at the beginning, they managed to secure a three-game winning streak. However, they have lost 2 out of their last 3 games, showing a decline in momentum. In their last game against Fujian, their defense was not up to par, allowing the opponent to score 133 points, leading to a heavy defeat. Jones performed well, scoring 33 points with 6 rebounds and 7 assists, while Kizlink contributed 29 points and 4 assists. Unfortunately, the domestic players struggled, with Jiang Weize scoring only 5 points (2 out of 10 from the field) and Jiang Yuxing missing the game.

This summer, Jilin’s biggest signing was the return of Jones, who has been dominant early in the season, averaging 36.3 points, 9.9 rebounds, and 11.6 assists per game. It seems that his “instruction manual” is still with Jilin. The new foreign player, Kizlink, has also been impressive in his first two games, averaging 26 points with a 55.6% three-point shooting rate. This will make Jilin’s offense even more formidable. Currently, Jilin averages 109.1 points per game, ranking 5th in the league. However, they need to improve their rebounding, which is an area that needs attention if they want to win more games.

Guangzhou’s start to the season has been poor, with a five-game losing streak before finally securing their first win against Fujian. They followed this up with another victory over Shenzhen, thanks to Guo Ailun’s outstanding performance. Now, Guangzhou’s momentum is improving, and team morale is rising. In their last game, three players scored over 20 points, including Guo Ailun with 25 points and 7 assists, Liu Yancheng with 22 points (6 out of 9 from three-point range), and Warren with 24 points.

During the off-season, Guangzhou acquired Guo Ailun through a trade, and he has played 3 games for the team. He finally found his form in the last game, and if he can maintain this rhythm, it will be very beneficial for Guangzhou. Besides bringing more attention to the team, his performance will also boost their results. In the last game, Guo Ailun was particularly strong in the final moments, scoring crucial points to secure the win. The question now is whether Guo Ailun can continue his hot streak, as he is crucial to the team. Guangzhou’s offensive performance this season has been poor, averaging only 99 points per game, placing them second to last in the league.

This is the first meeting between the two teams this season. Last season, Guangzhou won both encounters, but both teams have undergone some changes in their rosters. It remains to be seen who will come out on top this time.
