On October 18, in the third round of the CBA regular season, defending champion Liaoning defeated Guangzhou 120-88 away from home, securing a strong start with three consecutive wins.
In this game, Guo Ailun did not face his former team. At the beginning, Liaoning did not dominate, and Guangzhou kept the score close, trailing by only 3 points at halftime. However, in the second half, Guangzhou’s offensive performance declined, and Liaoning, led by Freddie Frog, took control and gradually widened the gap. In the final quarter, Liaoning’s offense was even more intense, continuously increasing the lead to over 30 points, making the game a foregone conclusion. Liaoning outscored Guangzhou by 22 points in the last quarter.
The key to Liaoning’s ability to widen the gap in the second half was mainly due to the outstanding performance of their foreign players. Frog hit several three-pointers from beyond the arc, Ajur dominated inside, and Sayoc also made mid-range jump shots. The three players had clear roles and combined for 72 points, which was crucial to the team’s victory. Frog was on fire, scoring 35 points with 6 three-pointers, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists; Ajur contributed 20 points and 10 rebounds, while Sayoc added 17 points.
