In the last game against the Jiangsu men's basketball team, Guo Haowen did not play for a second. In this game, facing the championship team Zhejiang men's basketball team, the Shanghai men's basketball team is obviously on the inferior side, and Guo Haowen still did not enter the squad. The Shanghai men's basketball team would rather lose than use Guo Haowen, who has become dispensable in the Shanghai men's basketball team.
There is no hatred in the world for no reason, and there is a reason why Guo Haowen fell out of favor in the Shanghai men's basketball team. This season, in the nine games in which Guo Haowen has played, only one has scored in double figures. In that game against the Qingdao men's basketball team, Guo Haowen's offensive efficiency was not high, only 2 of 9 shots, and he only scored 10 points by relying on 5 of 8 free throws. Guo Haowen also has the problem of unreasonable offense, which has caused multiple injuries to the team's offense. In terms of organizing offense, Guo Haowen also rarely had a brilliant performance, with only 3 games with the most assists in a single game, and 0 assists in 4 games.
Guo Haowen fell into the situation of not being able to play, which is undoubtedly sad, because he was once a representative of outstanding young players and was considered a figure who could play in the NBA. Guo Haowen came from the Bayi men's basketball youth training and was once the leader of the Bayi men's basketball youth team, and he continued to perform in the national youth league. In the national youth men's basketball team, Guo Haowen has also been a thigh for many years and has played a lot of smack-smacking performances.
In the 2018 Mannheim International Youth Basketball Invitational Tournament in Germany against the United States team, Guo Haowen scored 38 points and 10 rebounds. In the group stage of the 2019 U19 Men's Basketball World Cup, Guo Haowen scored 34 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists in a single game, helping the national youth men's basketball team defeat Puerto Rico. At the 2019 International Basketball Summit, Guo Haowen played 8 minutes and scored 8 points and 1 assist, scoring the most among Chinese guards.
In his first season in the CBA, Guo Haowen became a blockbuster. has scored 27 points in a single game, and Guo Haowen also has 7 assists in a single game. In the second CBA season, Guo Haowen's average points per game have reached doubles, and it has become the norm not to fall behind in the face of top local guards. After switching to the Shanghai men's basketball team in the 2020-21 season, Guo Haowen has been able to score 30 points in a single game. In the following 2021-22 season, Guo Haowen's performance improved further, scoring 39 points in the highest single game.
With gorgeous statistics, comprehensive skills, and a height of 2 meters, Guo Haowen is often compared to another tall defender, Sun Yue. Sun Yue has played as a major player in the Chinese men's basketball team and has also played in the NBA. Guo Haowen is optimistic that he can regain Sun Yue's path to success, and he also has the will to impact the NBA and put it into action.
After the end of the 2021-22 season, Guo Haowen went to the United States to participate in the NBA draft, becoming the seventh Chinese player to actively sign up for the NBA draft. In order to increase the probability of being selected, Guo Haowen tried out for the Lakers. Unfortunately, Guo Haowen was not selected by the NBA team in the end. Guo Haowen did not lose heart, stayed in the United States to train, continued to impact the NBA, and missed the 2022-23 CBA season. After another failure, Guo Haowen began to return to the CBA this season.
Players such as Yi Jianlian, Zhou Qi and Sun Yue have become stronger after training in the United States. When Guo Haowen returned, he was also quite optimistic and was considered to be the champion of the Shanghai men's basketball team. The expectation did not shine into reality, after the start of the game, Guo Haowen showed that he was in a very bad state, and now he has reached the point where he can't play.
For Guo Haowen, if he wants to get out of the trough, there is only one way to go. As long as Guo Haowen can return to the state before the United States, he can not only play again, but also continue to be the main force. If the situation deteriorates, Guo Haowen's future in the CBA will be bleak.
