On July 2, Guo Ailun, a player for the Liaoning Men’s Basketball Team, spoke with CCTV host Liu Xingyu about China’s men’s basketball team missing the Olympics. He said, “Everything has its ups and downs, from good to bad, and from bad to good.” When asked if he would use his strength in the future to help the Chinese national team, Guo Ailun replied, “I might not have that chance anymore.” Discussing his current situation, he just wants to stay healthy and play on the court, as that is where all possibilities lie. As long as he remains in good health, there will be opportunities. For a 31-year-old Guo Ailun to return to the national team, the challenge is significant. The national team is currently undergoing a transition with many post-95 players stepping away. For Guo Ailun, a veteran at 31, to be considered for the team, he would need to be in optimal physical condition and deliver convincing performances in the CBA. Even if Coach Guo Shiqiang were in charge, it would be difficult to include Guo Ailun without these conditions being met. The call-up of 28-year-old Gao Shiyang to the national team has been met with criticism, and if Guo Ailun were to join without being fully fit, public skepticism would likely be substantial.
