Chapter 3 Farewell to Hongyuan, Trial New York

The head coach of the Hongyuan team, Li Chunjiang, has been a little irritable in recent days. First, the core of the team, the two-time scoring champion in a row, the MVP winner of the regular season, and the MVP winner of the last finals, Wang Shipeng, was revealed to participate in the draft.

In fact, Li Chunjiang and Hongyuan's executives had already prepared for it. They all knew that with Wang Shipeng's talent, Hongyuan would not be able to keep him, but Hongyuan's boss and the team's management hoped that this day would come later .

So they stipulated a series of clauses in the contract, the most important of which is to win the CBA championship.

At that time, they believed that with Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming as two super centers, it would be difficult for Hongyuan to overcome the two mountains of Bayi and Shanghai.But they did not expect that Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming would go to the United States so soon, and the rapidly growing Wang Shipeng would lead his team to win the championship at the age of 20.

Hongyuan knew that they were unable to stop Wang Shipeng. After all, they were not Bayi and had no military discipline on the players, and Wang Shipeng, who was known as a lunatic, would not be as talkative as his Bayi family member.

But Yi Jianlian's departure at the same time caught Li Chunjiang by surprise.Yi Jianlian, who is less than 16 years old, is already more than 2.07 meters tall, and his physical talent exceeds that of Wang Shipeng, even among blacks.Li Chunjiang thought that after Wang Shipeng left, he could train Yi Jianlian to be the next core member of Hongyuan, take over Wang Shipeng's class, and prepare for Hongyuan to establish a dynasty. Unexpectedly, he planned to study abroad, but that kid was still underage, so Hongyuan stayed on. There are not many ways to get him down.

So when Wang Shipeng finally sat down with Li Chunjiang, looking at this best disciple of the past two years, Li Chunjiang felt a little helpless.

"Dapeng, if you say you go, go. The team knows they can't stop you. Why do you want to take the Arab League away? You tell me how to lead the team to defend the title next year."

Wang Shipeng smiled, since he made up his mind to get Yi Jianlian to go abroad, he knew that one day, Wang Shipeng still respected this mentor very much, and he knew very well what Li Chunjiang meant to Hongyuan. There is no grand dynasty.

"Teacher, I know it's not good for you to do this, but the two of us are gone. There are still Lao Zhu, Du Feng, and many potential rookies in the team. We are also the favorites for the championship. But if Ah Lian continues to stay in China I'm worried that he will be ruined after five or six years when he fully realizes his potential. He is roughly as strong in China, but you have seen his performance in the United States in the past two years. You are right."

"You!" Li Chunjiang nodded to Wang Shipeng, but said nothing.

After several rounds of negotiations, Wang Shipeng accepted a plan similar to Yao Ming's, successfully resolved the contract with Hongyuan, and resumed his free agency.Before setting foot on the plane to the United States, Wang Shipeng looked at the scenery of Guangzhou Airport and thought of all kinds of travels in three years.Suddenly full of pride, this life will be different in the end.

Like Yao Ming, Wang Shipeng has also attracted the attention of many teams, and even many media in the United States have admitted that if Wang Shipeng hadn't caught up with the 03 draft, he would have the opportunity to become the top three picks.

The plane landed at New York International Airport, and Yao Ming's American agent, Bill Duffy, picked him up at the airport.Wang Shipeng did not choose to form a "Peng Team" like Yao Ming. He thought it was not necessary for the time being, so he chose to sign with Bill Duffy and become a player under Duffy's banner.

"Wang, do you have any comments on the next arrangement?" Although Bill Duffy only met once when signing the contract, Bill Duffy was deeply impressed by Wang Shipeng. Defender means something.

"No, since I came to the United States, I will sell you the two hundred catties, Bill." Wang Shipeng is very calm. He is no longer the time when he just crossed three years ago. Career confidence.

"Okay, then let me tell you about the next arrangement. Today is May 5, and tomorrow New York will arrange a trial for you. After the trial, on the 7th, we will go to Orlando to participate in the joint trial. The time is about Three days, and then individual trial training until the end of the month." Bill Duffy said briefly.

Wang Shipeng frowned: "Bill, how many teams are interested in me?"

"Many, including the New York Knicks, teams with the fifth to fifteenth picks have issued trial training invitations, but I don't think we all have to go." Bill Duffy said confidently.

"What about the top four picks?" Although Wang Shipeng thought it was unlikely, he still asked this question with some reluctance.After all, everyone wants a better pick.

"Well, Denver and Toronto have also invited you. But I don't think you need to go, Wang. The top three picks are destined to go to LeBron, Melo and the Serb. As for Toronto, I haven't really decided on the candidate, but there is There's Vince Carter."

Wang Shipeng nodded: "Okay, I will proceed according to your arrangement." Wang Shipeng was a little thankful that Yi Jianlian spent more time with his parents in China and planned to come back in August, otherwise there would be no time to arrange him.

The next day, Isaiah Thomas, the general manager of the New York Knicks, came to receive Wang Shipeng and Duffy. Wang Shipeng was a little dazed when he saw the fat smiling assassin. This is a legendary figure. He could have been the best player Tan, but insisted on challenging the difficult job of the general manager, resulting in the loss of his fame in New York.

"Take the king for a physical examination first." Thomas ordered a few words to his assistant, while he stayed to chat with Bill Duffy.You must know that as well-known figures in the basketball circle, the two of them are old acquaintances.

about half an hour later
"Are you sure these are Wang's data, not Jamal's." Thomas, looking at the physical measurement data in his hand, felt troubled.He originally admired Wang Shipeng because of his skills, but he never thought that Wang Shipeng's physical fitness would be so good. After all, people of the yellow race are born with a gap in this aspect.

But this data hit Thomas in the face.

Name: Wang Shipeng
Age: 20 years old

Height: 6 feet 5 inches

Body fat rate: 8.6%
Feeling high in situ:

Run-up reach:

.........

To be honest, looking at this data alone, Thomas feels that only Crawford in the Knicks can match it, and it has to go through a period of recovery training to adjust to Crawford's physical condition.In terms of game skills, Thomas has long known that Crawford is not as good as Wang Shipeng.

"Shenton, come and challenge Wang one-on-one." Thomas waved his hand over Shandon Anderson who was training on the side.

The 30-year-old Shandon Anderson was specially called back by Thomas, just to test the rookies who came to try out. As an old guy who played against Jordan in the finals, it is enough to test the quality of rookies.
