Chapter 127 Oakland Arena

The Oakland Arena is one of the most famous landmarks in the small city of Oakland.Since the Warriors moved from Philadelphia to Oakland, the home of the Warriors, which was later renamed Oracle Arena, has become the most desirable place for fans in Oakland and even across the river in San Francisco.

Warriors fans this season are happy because their team has hope.Arenas, Richardson, Biedrins, Pietrus.This group of lads will prove themselves with the fast fighting whirlwind that sweeps the league.

Even the media in Auckland has shouted that Gilbert is our King Arthur's voice.Regardless of the fact that Arenas is several years older than Wang Shipeng.

Arenas himself is very dissatisfied with this statement.He played against the Bulls twice last season. One time Wang Shipeng was absent due to injury, and the other time Wang Shipeng played back-to-back. He flew to Oakland immediately after the previous game against the Pistons to play against the Warriors.

In short, Arenas didn't think Wang Shipeng was strong.So when he was interviewed by the media before the game, he bluntly stated that Wang Shipeng could not be compared with him, and he would make him look good in this game.

When he heard what Arenas said, Wang Shipeng had already arrived at the Oakland Arena and was about to enter the arena for pre-match preparations.

"Gilbert said that? Well, let him go back and wash his neck and wait. Arthur will show him what despair is."

Before Wang Shipeng had time to say anything, Scott Pippen, who was behind Wang Shipeng, came over.The old guy is getting more and more out of tune now, thinking that every time he comes out, he comes out.

Wang Shipeng suddenly had a headache. If ordinary people dared to speak harshly to him, he would have slapped him back unceremoniously.However, Wang Shipeng felt a little guilty about the ruthless and unreasonable general.

Wang Shipeng remembers that the general in his previous life averaged 25+ per game in the Wizards this season, with fierce firepower.Although Wang Shipeng is confident that he will not be worse than Arenas on the offensive end, the problem is that he seems to have nothing to do with him.

When Wang Shipeng saw the reporter whose eyes lit up excitedly after hearing Pippen's words, he knew what the newspaper would write tomorrow.It won't even wait until tomorrow, in less than half an hour, it is estimated that Arenas will know.

Even Wang Shipeng is [-]% sure that they will use more exaggerated language to relay Pippen's words, and they will definitely turn these words into their own.

Pippen has retired, how could his news effect be comparable to his own.As for the truth, who cares!

Wang Shipeng walked into the locker room with his head covered, and when he looked up, he saw the very happy Tony Allen, who was listening to music there.

Wang Shipeng's eyes lit up, by the way, he couldn't hold back the violent general, isn't there still Teacher Tony.Although Tony Allen is still just a rookie, he has not given up his dream of becoming Jordan.However, the natural defensive factor in his blood already existed, so it would be better for him to defend the general than Pago.

As for Wang Shipeng himself, he is going to defend Mike Dunleavy, the No. 02 pick in [-].After all, he is not Kobe, and he has no ability to be the team's sharpest spear and at the same time be the team's strongest shield.

Walking onto the field, Wang Shipeng saw Arenas staring at him for the first time, and rolled his eyes speechlessly. "

Wang Shipeng came out to warm up quite early, and his offseason was basically not idle.After the Olympics, I had less than two weeks of rest before running back to Chicago for training.

Wang Shipeng is not worried about his own state, but the tacit understanding between him and the Bulls is not very reassuring.

The three people who cooperated with Wang Shipeng most tacitly last season have all left.And the guys that are new to the team haven't been battle-tested yet.Therefore, Wang Shipeng urgently needs to play a game to see the results of the training camp.

The treatment of the Bulls in China is completely different from last season.Although it was only a preseason game, domestic sports channels sent their film crews to track and broadcast the Bulls' game.

It is Zhang Weiping and Sun Zhenping who are in charge of broadcasting this preseason match

Zhang Weiping has had a good relationship with Wang Shipeng since Wang Shipeng was in China.Zhang Weiping was responsible for explaining several important games last season.Therefore, Zhang Weiping, the leader of Tianchao Sports Channel this season, came forward to interview Wang Shipeng with the team in Chicago.

As Zhang Weiping's close partner, Sun Zhenping naturally got this rare opportunity to be stationed abroad.

Sitting in the media commentary seat of the Oakland Arena at this time, Zhang Weiping felt a little emotional: "Except for the United Center and Toyota Center last season, our Chinese media rarely had the opportunity to get such a front commentary seat. Now, even in the away game, Our treatment is also very high."

Unlike Zhang Weiping, Sun Zhenping pays more attention to the billboards beside the stadium.Because he actually saw many billboards of Chinese companies in this Oracle Arena without any Chinese players.

Is our business already this brutal?
It has to be admitted that Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming, and Wang Shipeng have successively appeared in the NBA and gained a firm foothold.There are more and more Chinese elements in the NBA.

Wang Shipeng didn't intend to talk to Arenas who was out of tune.Instead, he remembered the phone call from Wang Zhizhi a few days ago.

Because of his introduction and performance in the Olympics, Kobe recognized Wang Zhizhi and recommended Wang Zhizhi to the Lakers management.

Kobe, who has just become the new king of the Lakers, is naturally much loved.General manager Kupchak certainly attaches great importance to Kobe's opinion.What's more, Kobe just recommended a backup power forward.

So Wang Zhizhi got a three-year contract from the Lakers, with a total amount of about 400 million.To be honest, just based on Wang Zhizhi's performance in the NBA, he is not worth this contract, not even half of it.But if you count Kobe and Wang Shipeng's face and Wang Zhizhi's performance in Athens, it is worth the price.

The most important thing is that the Lakers sent away Shaq, that is, entering the reconstruction period.The salary space is very generous, and it is not given to anyone.

Wang Zhizhi then participated in the Lakers' summer league. As the starting power forward and inside core of the summer league, Wang Zhizhi performed very well under the premise of having enough playing time.

Seven games.With an average of 17.2 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, he showed his own strength and gave the Lakers coaching staff and management the confidence to use him.

Just after the summer league ended, Kobe praised Wang Zhizhi in the program he participated in, calling him the Nowitzki of China.The Lakers coach Tom Jakovic made it clear that Wang Zhizhi, like Yao Ming, will become an important member of his plan.

"I hope to be able to stay with the Lakers. Three years later, it will be the time for the Lakers to revive. Maybe in this life, there is a general hope to win a championship with Kobe."

Wang Shipeng looked up at the dome of the Oakland Arena, new season, new starting point, new journey.Everything starts here.
