China News Service, August 6th. On the evening of the 5th, Liaoning defeated Xinjiang 116:88 in this season's CBA playoffs, leading by a big score of 1:0, only one step away from the finals. Although the game seemed to lose its suspense early, there was still a worrying scene in the second half.
With 5 minutes and 36 seconds left in the third quarter, Tang Caiyu grabbed a rebound and collided in the air with Guo Ailun who had chased up from behind, and fell heavily to the ground, unable to get up. Finally he was carried out of the court on a stretcher.
After watching this round, the referee blew Guo Ailun's physical foul. In this game, Guo Ailun scored 15 points and 4 rebounds. After eating the violation, Guo Ailun did not play in the subsequent game.
After the game, Guo Ailun updated social media and apologized to Tang Caiyu.
He wrote on Weibo: "Sorry to the brother who was hit by me. I hope you will be fine. I definitely didn't deliberately hit you. I subconsciously grabbed it when I watched the ball bounce, which caused you. I am very sorry for the injury, I hope you are all safe and continue to play the next game." (End)
