In yesterday's CBA All-Star Game, the intensity of the rookie matchup was remarkable. Although the attendance on the first day was a little dismal, the players on the field showed good strength and fighting spirit. In this high-profile game, the University United team successfully reversed the CBA Xingrui sophomore team with Chen Guohao's outstanding performance, and Chen Guohao was also awarded the MVP award.
It is worth mentioning that the MVP selection process of this competition can be described as twists and turns. As a general rule, MVP is usually won by the player of the winning side. However, in a CBA star game three years ago, Zhang Zhenlin became an exception. At that time, although the northern rookie team lost, Zhang Zhenlin beat Yuan Tangwen and Zhu Songwei, who performed well, and won the honor of MVP. This scene caused widespread heated discussions and controversies at the time, and also made Zhang Zhenlin suffer criticism such as "losing MVP" and "relying on his mother's relationship to win awards".
Now, when Beijing mediator Ma Chongyang is congratulating Chen Guohao on winning the MVP, he can't help but think of Zhang Zhenlin's experience back then. Ma Chongyang's words seem to reveal a kind of irony, as if to imply that Zhang Zhenlin's victory that year was not fully recognized. This kind of remark undoubtedly brought a lot of pressure and criticism to Zhang Zhenlin again.
However, judging from yesterday's game, Chen Guohao's performance is indeed eye-catching. He already showed strong strength in the first half, not only helping the United University gradually close the point gap, but also stepping up at critical moments to seal the win for the team. Chen Guohao's outstanding performance not only won the applause of the fans, but also won the recognition of the judges, and finally won the MVP award.
Of course, we can't ignore the lack of basic skills of young Chinese players. It can be seen from yesterday's game that whether it is the CBA Xingrui team or the college student team, there are some technical shortcomings and deficiencies in cooperation. This also makes us wonder how to improve the basic skills of young Chinese players so that they can be more calm and confident in future competitions.
Perhaps, this requires us to start from multiple aspects. First of all, strengthen the training and guidance of young players, so that they can improve their technical, tactical and psychological qualities in an all-round way. Secondly, young players are encouraged to participate in high-level competitions and training, and test and improve their level through practice. Finally, it is also necessary to give more support and encouragement to young players from the fans, so that they can maintain confidence and courage in the face of difficulties and challenges.
All in all, Chen Guohao's MVP award is something to celebrate, but we must not forget the challenges and shortcomings faced by young Chinese players. I hope that in the future, we can see more outstanding young players emerge and contribute to the cause of Chinese basketball.
