Chapter 12
"Eddie Curry, dunk." The voice of the passionate commentator of the United Center sounded again in the arena.

"This year's Eddie Curry is really eye-catching." The commentator on the sidelines took advantage of the timeout to chat about Curry's performance.

"Yeah, this year's Eddie is doing very well, he can be regarded as a veritable little shark." As he spoke, another commentator turned over the table and took out a preseason data of Bulls players: "In the six preseason games, he averaged 28 minutes per game, and his shooting percentage was as high as 62%. His performance is not weaker than Arthur's."

When the commentator was talking about Curry, Cartwright was also chatting with Wang Shipeng about Eddie Curry's performance on the sidelines: "Arthur, I really didn't expect, how did you convince that big guy Eddie?"

Thinking of the first meeting with Curry, Wang Shipeng couldn't help twitching his mouth.That day Curry wanted to play Wang Shipeng to teach him a lesson. Although Cartwright was annoyed that he was late on the first day of the season rendezvous and did not let him play, Curry still insisted on pulling Wang Shipeng to challenge him one-on-one after the training.

Although Wang Shipeng didn't want to cause trouble, how could he be afraid of trouble when he was nicknamed crazy.Since Curry insisted on provocation, he stayed decisively.

Needless to say the details of the heads-up match between the two, Wang Shipeng finally convinced Curry, only to realize that Curry was just a child thinking, worried that the presence of an ace guard who completely controlled the ball would make him lose the ball.

Wang Shipeng couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. Eddie Curry is also 21 years old. He has been famous for many years since high school. He is a big man of more than two meters and one meter.Why is he more like a primary school student than his famous family in later generations?

In short, since that heads-up, Curry is completely convinced of Wang Shipeng.Not only listened to Wang Shipeng's words, trained seriously and stopped playing around.And during the game, he changed his previous lazy attitude and started to be serious on both offense and defense.

Played the Jazz in the first game of the preseason, facing the aging Karl Malone.Eddie Curry scored 26 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 blocks in 2 minutes. He successfully suppressed the Jazz's counterattack and kept the victory at the critical moment.

第二战打马刺，蒂姆邓肯都掩盖不了库里的锋芒。上场33分钟拿下23分10篮板5助攻1盖帽。虽然最终没能战胜马刺，但是库里的表现在赛后获得了广泛肯定。毕竟，和蒂姆邓肯对抗了几乎一整场的情况下还能拿下20+10+5+的数据，虽然是季前赛也已经足够出色。

In the third game against the Wizards, he scored 24 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists in 3 minutes. Because Wang Shipeng scored 33 points explosively, the game entered garbage time early.

In the fourth and fifth games, facing the Warriors and 76ers, the Bulls prepared for the regular season and did not let Curry play for too long, but it was enough. Eddie Curry, who has entered the third grade in the new season Fully demonstrated the potential of a super center.Everyone believes that the Bulls with Curry, Chandler and Wang Shipeng are definitely not far from revival.

In the six preseason games, the Bulls had five wins and one loss, and the performance of several main players was unexpectedly good.

Eddie Curry: Played in six games, averaging 17.3 points, 8.2 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game.

Tyson Chandler: Played in six games, averaging 7.6 points, 9.9 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.3 blocks per game, becoming the preseason block leader.

Jan Nairo Pargo: Played in six games, averaging 12.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.4 steals per game
Jaylen Rose: Played in six games, averaging 15.4 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game
Of course, if these are not enough to support Chicago's revival, then Wang Shipeng's performance is enough to give Chicago fans a reassurance, allowing them to look forward to the playoffs that the team has been missing for several years.

Wang Shipeng, who also played in six games, averaged 19.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game. Although the data is good, it is not outstanding, but this data is achieved in less than 10 minutes per game. .And most of the time he is on the bench.

"Arthur's performance meets all the team's expectations for a super sixth man. No, actually putting him on the bench is already a blasphemy against Arthur's strength." The Chicago Morning News said.

Bill Cartwright also fretted over the question.Arthur's natural temperament has led to a change in the atmosphere of the entire team, and he is happy that the team has such a super sixth man.

However, the voice from the management made Cartwright very angry. They actually demanded that Arthur, who was only 20 years old, start and even become the leader of the team.This is nonsense, Cartwright thought bitterly.A Chinese rookie, still a guard, has not yet proved himself in the regular season, but he is about to start and even become a leader.How can it be.

Although Cartwright has no reputation, he also has no strength.But he is a very stubborn academic figure who believes that basketball is a giant's sport.Willing to reuse center.But don't trust guards much, especially rookie guards.

But Cartwright also knows that he is not a super coach like Larry Brown or Don Nelson, and he is not qualified to confront the management or even the boss.Now that the management has this intention, I am afraid that they can only obey in the end.

Time passed day by day, and the Bulls got better day by day.Seeing the team's changing direction, the general manager of the team, Klaus, has been a little angry recently.

Because of Wang Shipeng's outstanding performance, Chinese companies and TV stations are paying more and more attention to the Bulls.

A group of multinational companies in China couldn't wait to come to Klaus to discuss cooperation, and more and more Chinese advertisements also settled in the joint center.China Central Television also made adjustments to the Bulls' live broadcast plan. In the new season, CCTV will broadcast 22 Bulls games, second only to Houston's 26 games.

The Bulls were also excited, their eyes reddened with jealousy at the attention and money the Houstonians got from China last year.You know, last year, Yao Ming was theirs after only missing one pick.

Fortunately, this year they got a guard who can make more impact.The strength shown by Wang also shows that Chinese defenders are also enough to gain a foothold in the league.

In return, Klaus proposed to let Wang Shipeng stand at the C position in this year's promotional photo, and take another promotional photo of Curry and Wang Shipeng to show Wang Shipeng's core position.

However, this proposal was opposed by the coaching staff. It is said that Bill felt that the starting five should be included.Even Bill thought that Wang Shipeng was not suitable to stand in the middle.

The idiot!Klaus thought bitterly.
