Dwight Howard's consecutive scores quickly made the atmosphere joyful.
The Liaoning team really couldn't gain any advantage on the inside, but Guo Ailun's performance on the outside never stopped.
His style of play that often sees opportunities to break through mid-range shots or hit three-pointers not only makes up for the Liaoning team's shortcomings on the offensive end, but also makes the fans at the scene excited.

At the end of the first quarter, both sides entered rest time.
Dwight Howard came off the field and sat on the bench to rest.

Soon, the game continued.
Guo Ailun of the Liaoning team did not rest, but continued to play.
This time, he took the initiative to mark Zhao Feiyang. This move also made the fans at the scene restless. Many people began to boo, hoping that the two could play against each other on the court.
"Brother Feiyang! I've wanted to fight you for a long time. I can't miss such a good opportunity..."
Guo Ailun said with a smile.
Zhao Feiyang also patted him, "You kid... come on! Finally, you have the opportunity to compete in an actual competition. Let me see if you have improved recently..."
It was the Liaoning team's turn to serve.
Guo Ailun passed the half court with the ball. He signaled to his teammates early in the morning and waved his hand to signal everyone else to move away. His teammates also understood what he meant, and they all made space to show their cooperation.
After Guo Ailun reached the top of the arc, Zhao Feiyang also took the initiative to step forward and assume a close defensive posture.
One on one.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the next second, Guo Ailun suddenly rushed out from the right with the ball. He was very fast, but he didn't get rid of Zhao Feiyang.
Zhao Feiyang followed his body and entered the basket. When he was approaching the penalty area, Guo Ailun made an emergency stop and suddenly raised the basketball and shot.

Snapped.
The basketball was given to Zhao Feiyang, who carried the ball across half court. He also made gestures to his teammates. Guo Ailun smiled evilly at him, and the two of them came to the top of the arc one after another.
"Are you ready? I'm coming!"
Zhao Feiyang asked deliberately.
Guo Ailun took a defensive stance and patted his legs, "Come on!"
The next second, Zhao Feiyang made a feint and suddenly made a cross step. Guo Ailun did not falter and continued to keep his center of gravity on guard.
However, as soon as Zhao Feiyang finished a cross step here, his right hand suddenly pulled the ball to the left. The sudden change caught Guo Ailun a little unexpectedly. By the time he reacted and stepped up to defend, Zhao Feiyang was already half a step away from him.
Seizing the opportunity, Zhao Feiyang took advantage of the situation to attack the basket. He dribbled the ball all the way into the paint and made a pull-up layup before Guo Ailun came up to pursue him.
Snapped.
The basketball hit the backboard and fell into the basket.
The ball went in.
The one-on-one match between the two temporarily ended with Zhao Feiyang's victory.
After scoring the goal, Zhao Feiyang deliberately patted Guo Ailun. Facing this former little brother, he chuckled and patted the opponent's butt.
Guo Ailun couldn't help laughing.
The two had a very good relationship in the national team before, so no matter whether they won or lost in such a duel, neither of them took it to heart.
At least, there won't be any conflicts over such things.
"Give me the ball."
Guo Ailun shouted to his teammates.
When he got the basketball again, Guo Ailun took the ball and accelerated towards the half court. He was very fast, and Zhao Feiyang, who was chasing him, also moved quickly. The two of them arrived at the half court almost at the same time.
This time Guo Ailun did not choose a layup, but directly shot a three-pointer from a 45-degree angle.
Zhao Feiyang flew over with all his strength, but unfortunately it was still a little late.
Uh-huh.
A precise three-pointer fell into the basket smoothly.
"In! Guo Ailun made the shot!"
"Good boy, this is how we fight... Hahaha, Zhao Feiyang definitely didn't expect this..."
"Well done!"
The fans at the scene cheered, and many even deliberately booed, including some fans who supported Zhao Feiyang.
Being able to see their top players perform so well on the court also makes these fans extremely happy.
"Brother Feiyang, did you see it? What is technology! This is called technology!"
Guo Ailun said in front of Zhao Feiyang.
Zhao Feiyang curled his lips and shook his head deliberately and said with a smile, "You kid, don't be arrogant... See how I deal with you next... Let me tell you, the old ones are still the hot ones... "
As soon as the words fell, the ball from his teammate was also sent to Zhao Feiyang.
Zhao Feiyang also chose to dribble the ball through half-court this time. However, he was not as anxious as Guo Ailun, but took his time to advance with the ball.
After waiting until halftime, Zhao Feiyang looked for an opportunity at the top of the arc.
Guo Ailun seemed to have a premonition that he would shoot a three-pointer, and he quickly stepped forward and kept reaching out to interfere with Zhao Feiyang's ball control. The two met each other, and Zhao Feiyang suddenly started to sway in cross steps. He deliberately made a breakthrough gesture, causing his body's center of gravity to shift greatly.
Guo Ailun was indeed deceived.
At the next moment, Zhao Feiyang seemed to have made a breakthrough but actually pulled the ball back suddenly. Before Guo Ailun could fully react, he saw that Zhao Feiyang had already raised the basketball high and shot.
Uh-huh.
A crisp three-pointer fell firmly into the basket.
The audience applauded continuously, and the shouts came one after another.
The duel between the two was so exciting that both the Timberwolves and the Liaoning players stood up and applauded them.
The game goes on.
Perhaps because the two teams had a tacit understanding, this duel was not as fierce as everyone imagined.
Although there is no high-intensity physical confrontation, it is quite entertaining in terms of entertainment. Especially under the leadership of Guo Ailun, the Liaoning team has also begun to play various tricks. He even played street games on the court. ball.
The better thing is that the referees brought by the NBA to officiate the game this time, therefore, considering the entertainment nature of the game, the referee did not officiate some insignificant actions.
This is indeed much more "interesting" than individual CBA referees.

The buzzer sounded at the end of the game, and the final score between the two sides was 110 to 101, ending the game with only a 9-point gap.
The fans cheered after the game, applauding not only the players of the Liaoning team, but also the players of the Timberwolves.
After this game, the Minnesota Timberwolves will also face another opponent in the China League, which is Zhao Feiyang's former team, the Los Angeles Lakers.
This game is not only a performance against his old club, but also the first game to test whether Dwight Howard and Zhao Feiyang are compatible.
