Major signing! 3 years, 18 million! China's top swingman

Wow!

Congratulations, congratulations.

A well-known domestic media reporter reported:Guo Haowen has reached a three-year super renewal contract with the Tongxi team, totaling 18 million RMB, with an average annual salary of 6 million RMB.

By the way, the maximum salary in the CBA varies. For example, Tongxi also offered Zhao Baiqing a max salary renewal contract, but with an annual salary of only 1.5 million RMB. The latter was very dissatisfied with this and instead joined the Akita Northern Happinets in Japan's B League.

It is particularly noteworthy that during last season, Guo Haowen and Zhao Baiqing had a serious conflict. Although Tongxi handled it without obvious favoritism at the time, the difference in renewal amounts shows who is truly indispensable to the club.

In the 25-26 regular season, Guo Haowen averaged 20.6 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game, with shooting percentages of 43.1%, 32.8%, and 79.1%. He was the new domestic scoring champion and an All-Star. Zhao Baiqing, on the other hand, averaged 11.4 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 1.1 assists, with shooting percentages of 50.8%, 40.9%, and 77.4%.

Guo Haowen was born on January 31, 2000. He is 2.03 meters tall with a wingspan of 2 meters, possessing a rare ability among domestic wing players to attack with the ball. In his early career, he was considered the next Chinese guard capable of making it to the NBA after Sun Yue (second round, 40th pick in 2007). Unfortunately, for various reasons, his development did not meet expectations.

This guy previously played for the Bayi and Shanghai teams, where he was involved in scandals and nearly ended his CBA career. Fortunately, after joining Tongxi in 2024, he turned over a new leaf and gradually fulfilled his potential. Now, he is undoubtedly the strongest swingman in the domestic league.

However, perhaps due to his "questionable past," Guo Haowen has never been favored by the Chinese men's national team. He hasn't even been included in the training camp roster. This has led to the former star of the Chinese youth national team never being able to wear the adult national team jersey, which many people regret.

Speaking of Guo Haowen's former best teammate on Tongxi, Lin Wei, he also cannot be selected for the national team. However, it is rumored that he has a conflict with Guo Shiqiang. If the Chinese men's national team changes its coach in the future, he might still have a good chance to become a member of the team.
