The Guangzhou Loong Lions faced a rocky start to their Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) season, falling 109-80 to the Qingdao Eagles in a game that highlighted their struggle without star guard Guo Ailun. 🚨 \"It’s a tough night when your offense can’t find rhythm,\" one fan tweeted, summing up the mood.
Qingdao dominated early, building a double-digit lead in the first quarter thanks to sharp teamwork and a barrage of 13 three-pointers. Rising star Wang Ruizhe dropped 26 points, while rookie center Yang Hansen anchored the defense, leaving Guangzhou scrambling. 🎯
Guangzhou’s Davion Warren fought hard with 22 points, but with only three players scoring in double digits, the Loong Lions looked outgunned. Guo’s absence—rumored due to injury—left a glaring gap in their playbook. 💔
Will this loss spark a comeback strategy? Fans are hoping for a rebound when Guangzhou returns to the court. Stay tuned for more CBA updates! 🏆
