Participating in the CBA All-Star Weekend in his rookie season, Chen Guohao struggled to adapt to everything around him, brand activities, interviews, fan interactions, ......This champion show is full of greenness in his speech and demeanor. In an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency, Chen Guohao appeared very humble, but when asked "what kind of player he wants to become", he did not hesitate to give the answer: "Yi Jianlian".

I think he (Yi Jianlian) plays very domineering style on the court and is very leader-like. Chen Guohao said.
In the middle of the night on August 29 last year, Yi Jianlian announced his official retirement, and Chen Guohao, who regarded him as an idol, posted a ** - Yi Jianlian's autographed jersey on his personal social **, with a message to Chen Guohao "prove yourself (prove yourself)".
In his CBA debut, the 24-year-old Chen Guohao proved his strength. He played for the Beijing Control team, and in the game against the Qingdao team, he handed over 20 points, 10 rebounds and 5 blocks. People were shocked by Chen Guohao's talent again, it was the game between the Beijing Control team and the Tianjin team on January 3 this year, he scored 32 points and 14 rebounds, a "Yi Jianlian-style" star data.
It's a bottoming out** process. Chen Guohao said, "Because the previous games were not very good, I didn't play my own characteristics." Then I played well in that game, so I want to continue this form and fight for the whole game to win for the team. ”
Chen Guohao's "bottoming" is a downturn before the outbreak against Tianjin. He only scored 10 points in the previous six games, three of which were even more scoreless, and the outside world heard the voice of "parallel goods".
In the midst of doubts, Chen Guohao did not press the "mute button". "I often have some interaction with them [the fans] without affecting the game and training. Thank you very much to them, good or bad voices, are all suggestions, which can help me to improve myself better. Actually, the mentality will still affect a little bit, but with the encouragement of the coach and my teammates, I will be more motivated to train and find my form. ”
Chen Guohao met champion coach Min Lulei in his "rookie" season. The Beijing Control team has performed well this season under the coaching of Min Lulei, and has won eight consecutive games in the second stage of the league, and is currently ranked seventh in the standings. In Chen Guohao's eyes, Min Lulei, who has led Beijing Shougang to win three CBA championships, is a "strict teacher".
First of all, he helped the players bring a new wave of energy, and then he usually pays attention to the details of training and life, which helps us to better improve and grow. ”
For young players like me, his main emphasis is still on an attitude issue, no matter what the situation is on the field, first of all, I have to have a correct attitude, I have to be positive, and I have to fight hard. Chen Guohao said.
As the season progressed, Chan's potential was recognised both on and off the pitch. In this All-Star Weekend, he officially became a contracted player of Li Ning Company, and also led the college student team to a comeback victory over the Xingrui sophomore team and was named the most valuable player of the game.
As an interior player, impact is Chen Guohao's personal label, but if he wants to play like Yi Jianlian, he also needs to work on his shooting ability. "Beijing Enterprises still has a lot of shots, and it basically takes a long time to train shooting every day. I'm going to catch the free throw basket now, and the previous shooting rate was relatively low, so I still have to practice the most basic free throws first, and there are three-point shots, I think it's more important. ”
Chen Guohao's free throw shooting and three-point shooting percentage so far this season are 641% and 279%, he still has room to continue to grow in his rookie season to make up for his shortcomings.
However, there is a regret that Chen Guohao can't make up for, "I entered the CBA, but I didn't have the opportunity to compete with him (Yi Jianlian)." ”
