In a nail-biting CBA clash, the Beikong Royal Fighters edged past the Guangzhou Loong Lions 116-113 on Wednesday, extending Guangzhou’s losing streak to six games. Despite veteran guard Guo Ailun dropping a season-high 40 points – his first 40+ game in 1,017 days – the home team couldn’t clinch the win. 🌟
Guo lit up the court, shooting 13/25 from the field and sinking 11 free throws. “It felt like a solo concert,” one fan tweeted, as the 29-year-old delivered clutch baskets and orchestrated comebacks. But Beikong’s Grant Riller (28 points) and Jared Sullinger (20 points) proved unstoppable, rallying their team with critical runs.
The game swung like a K-drama plot 📈: Guangzhou trailed by 9 at halftime, clawed back to within 3 in Q3, and even led 111-104 late in Q4. But Beikong’s Zhang Fan and Zhu Songwei ignited a 10-0 run to steal momentum. A last-second three-point attempt by Guangzhou’s Tahjere McCall rimmed out, sealing Beikong’s fourth straight victory.
Fans are calling it “the best game of the season” – but for Guangzhou, the search for a win continues. 🏆 Will Guo’s heroics spark a turnaround? Stay tuned!
