Chapter 10 Training Camp

"Bill, this place is not bad." Wang Shipeng looked at the small villa that Duffy had found for him and nodded in satisfaction.

When Wang Shipeng just reported, the Bulls rented him an apartment temporarily.When Wang Shipeng first arrived in Chicago, he lived there with Yi Jianlian.

But before the start of the summer league, the team has officially signed a contract with Wang Shipeng. 3+1 contract, player option for the fourth year.The total amount is 1180 million US dollars.

Under Duffy's suggestion, Wang Shipeng withdrew the first year's salary in advance, which was about 180 million US dollars after deducting taxes.He used the money to help Wang Shipeng rent a small villa half an hour away from the United Center and bought a car.

Wang Shipeng is quite satisfied with the place that Duffy helped him rent and the car he bought.He didn't want to live in the apartment that the bull had prepared for a long time.

After all, compared to his height of nearly two meters, that apartment was still too short.

"As long as you like it, Arthur, you have already made a good start in the league, are you ready for a bigger challenge?"

Duffy is still very satisfied with Wang Shipeng.This young scorer from China is strong and humble.He is very confident on the court, has a high golf quotient, lives a self-disciplined life off the court, and has no bad habits.Duffy swore that the last time he saw such a little guy was the young man named Steve Nash at 96.

"Of course, I didn't waste these two months in Chicago. Don't worry, I will get it done soon." Wang Shipeng's tone was calm and confident.

He knew what Duffy was worried about.The current Bulls are actually dominated by the twin towers after Brand left.In the Twin Towers, Curry's popularity and status are stronger than Chandler's because Curry is good at attacking and Chandler is good at defending.However, this little shark has a strange temper that is not easy to cooperate with.

The 2000 rookie, convulsive scorer Crawford.The performance was outstanding, and it was loved by Bulls fans and management.But it happened that Curry just didn't like him, and he frequently excluded him when he joined the team.And Crawford was not good at it, and finally the two had a big fight on the training ground at the end of last season.In the end, Crawford left for New York, and the Bulls also gave up their favorite organizational point guard Hinrich and chose Wang Shipeng.

So, Bill Duffy was worried that the guy named Eddie Curry would provoke Wang Shipeng.

But Wang Shipeng himself is not worried, he is not Crawford.Leaving aside the Chinese market behind him, it is enough to ensure that any reasonable uniform team will not be willing to give up on themselves.What's more, Wang Shipeng from the future knows how to treat that tall "child."

Duffy was very busy. After Wang Shipeng settled down, he had to go to Dallas. The contract between the Mavericks and Nash was in the final year, and Cuban was unwilling to meet their contract requirements.

On September 2003, 9, Wang Shipeng's birthday in his previous life, at five o'clock in the morning, Wang Shipeng ate some bread and boiled eggs.I drove out of the villa and went to the United Center.

Today is the day the Bulls gather, which is the day the training camp starts.Wang Shipeng stayed in Chicago for two months, and finally had to face all his teammates.

"Arthur, you're here." As soon as he entered the arena, a familiar little black man rushed out.

"Rick, you got the contract. Congratulations." Wang Shipeng was also very happy for his old friend in the summer league.

"Yeah, thanks to you, Arthur. I averaged 8 points and 8 assists per game. It happened that the team lacked a point guard, so they gave me a semi-guaranteed contract."

Bulls head coach Bill Cartwright was upset.Chicago's fans and management were fed up by Jordan, and they didn't have the patience to rebuild the team.In his rookie season like Elton Brand, he can't even look down on strong insiders at the 20+10+ level. He wants to get a super center like O'Neal and Duncan to revive Chicago in one go.

But it's not that easy. The twin towers, a high school student who bought Brand away two years ago, are growing up. Finally, a singles master, Crawford, was squeezed out by that "big baby".As for this year's rookie, I heard that the Chinese guard is not bad, and he is called the Reggie Miller of Asia.But the specifics depend on how good he is in the regular season.

The team is so chaotic, the players are so lazy.The uniform team and the boss actually put forward record requirements for him.What the hell am I going to do for the playoffs.

Today was the first time Cartwright entered the United Center in the new season.As soon as he walked near the training ground, he heard the sound of a basketball hitting the ground.Cartwright was very surprised. He raised his hand and looked at his watch. He remembered correctly, at 07:30 in the morning, he usually came to the arena at this time, and the players assembled at [-]:[-] am.Cartwright remembers that no player came earlier than him last season.

On the other side, Wang Shipeng and Douglas were sweating profusely.After they came to the arena, they saw the empty training scene and looked at each other. They really didn't expect that there was no player to train at 06:30.

"Rick, let's go one-on-one." Wang Shipeng rolled his eyes and decided to find something to do by himself.

"Okay!" Douglas happily agreed.If it was shooting or something, he would naturally not dare to challenge Wang Shipeng, the number one shooter in the summer league, but it would be hard to say in a one-on-one match.

Wang Shipeng saw through Douglas's thoughts at a glance, and felt amused in his heart, boy, don't you hear it, and you will be impressed by it for three days.

Wang Shipeng is very clear that if he wants to become a real star guard in the current NBA, he cannot do without certain singles ability.Now is not the era when Clay can average 20+ points per game when he hardly occupies the ball more than ten years later.Ray Allen, the most famous contemporary catch three-pointer, also has a strong singles ability.

Therefore, as soon as the summer league ended, Wang Shipeng started special training in Chicago.He even invited Mr. Jordan to guide him. Jordan, who had just retired, was so bored that he actually came to Chicago to guide him for a week.

Thinking of the days when he studied with Jordan, Wang Shipeng smiled.
