Chapter 7 The Summer League Begins

"The team's schedule is really interesting." Looking at the schedule of the summer league, Wang Shipeng shook his head.

"What's the matter, Arthur?" Tyson Chandler leaned over.He is the only veteran Bulls player to play in summer league.It is said that because he had just recovered from an injury at the end of last season, the team arranged for him to look for his status.

When we first met, Tyson Chandler didn't like this yellow-skinned guard from Asia.But after a few times of joint practice, Wang Shipeng quickly conquered the big man with his ability to be more than one level higher than other Xialian teammates. He finally understood why the team used the draft for such a guy who didn't look outstanding. A precious lottery pick for the new year.

Chandler was overshadowed by the No. [-] pick last year.He has no strength, not to mention a big temper, and he thought he was Jason Kidd after hitting a triple-double.The most intolerable thing is that he went to ride a motorcycle during the offseason, got into a car accident by speeding and injured himself, which is really intolerable.

"Look, starting from the No. [-] pick this year, our rookies at the top of the lottery actually got together. Don't you think it's very interesting." Wang Shipeng handed the materials in his hand to Chandler.

I don't know if it was intentional or not.The Cleveland Cavaliers, Denver Nuggets, Toronto Raptors, Los Angeles Clippers, etc., except for Detroit, all teams that received high-ranking rookies in the 03 generation participated in the Long Beach Summer League.

"Arthur, you're under a lot of pressure." Chandler said gloatingly.If it weren't for the gathering of several top rookies, the summer league might not attract much attention.People like James and Anthony will not play for too long on the summer league stage. Like Chandler, they are actually here to adapt to the rhythm of the game.

But this year's situation is different. Gathering the most popular rookies together, I am afraid that no one will want to lose at the starting line at the beginning.

"I have no choice but to fight. Tyson, you have to help me." Wang Shipeng's heart moved.That's right, I have an advantage here. I have a third-year center in my team, and he is a top defensive center who has grown up.This kind of strength bonus, there should be no one except Cleveland.

"No problem, I'll do my best." Chandler knew when to joke and when to be serious.As a teammate, and a more recognized teammate, you must stand on the platform at this time.You know, Chandler understands that the only ones left in this summer league team may be himself and Wang.In this case, let others die.

After several days of adaptive training, the Long Beach Summer League officially kicked off.As if it had been negotiated, there were only seven teams participating in the Long Beach Summer League.In addition to the above five teams, there are the New Orleans Hornets and the Dallas Mavericks.Oh, by the way, the current Lone Ranger is still called Mavericks.

The remaining twenty or so teams all gathered in Las Vegas to start their own summer league.It seems that it is arranged for the rookies of these teams to fight alone here.

The first game of the Bulls' summer league is against the Miami Heat.Standing on the court facing the young Devin Wade, Wang Shipeng felt excited.You know, the Wade in his impression is the big-cheeked guy who scored nine points for Gordon in the dunk contest.

With Chandler winning the jump ball over the Heat center, the game officially began.

As soon as he reached the three-point line, Wang Shipeng stuck Wade and reached for the ball.

"Boy, you seem to be very excited." Wade looked at Wang Shipeng, who was in high spirits competing with him, and wondered. It was just the summer league, so there was nothing to be excited about.

"Yeah, Devin, I knew you when I was in China, and I always felt that your future achievements are not inferior to that of Cleveland. Now I have the opportunity to compete with you, can you not be excited?"

Wang Shipeng's words are half true and half false. At this time, the NBA has just been broadcast live in China on a large scale, and most Chinese people don't know what the NCAA is.He thinks it is almost impossible to know Wade in China now.

When Wade heard this, he also became happy.After all, he is still the young man who is only less than 22 years old.Just as he was about to say something, the yellow-skinned boy in front of him suddenly disappeared.

It turned out that seeing Wade's stupefaction, Wang Shipeng made a quick decision and quickly passed the ball to his left hand and rushed past Wade's left. Before the center of the Heat came up to defend, Wang Shipeng threw the ball into the basket with an emergency stop jumper.

Wade is so angry, he has already heard the coach yelling from the sidelines, blaming this nasty Chinese kid.

Wade decided to retaliate. As soon as he passed the midfield, Wade asked for the ball, gritted his teeth and looked at the guy who lied to him.

Wang Shipeng was a little funny, but he didn't say much.Instead, he assumed a standard defensive posture and looked at Wade in front of him very seriously.

Young Wade's explosive power is historical.Although Wang Shipeng was very cautious, he also judged the general direction of Wade's breakthrough.But the brain can keep up, the body can't keep up.Wang Shipeng, who was not moving in time, could only watch Wade pass by his side like a gust of wind, attacking the basket.

"The Miami No. [-] in his rookie year is already so good, how strong is the Philadelphia No. [-] who is at his peak?" Wang Shipeng looked at Wade bouncing around the basket and shook his head thinking.

"How about it, boy, do you want one?" Wade, who ran back side by side with Wang Shipeng, asked with puffed cheeks.

Wang Shipeng rolled his eyes and said nothing.He was not a talkative person in the arena, after the initial excitement, he became even more lazy and talkative.

Wang Shipeng knew what he was good at. He grabbed the black guy named Rick Douglas who was playing point guard and told him to pay attention to himself.Wang Shipeng intends to show the Americans what he is best at.

Wang Shipeng, who entered the attack range, made a big circle along the three-point line, ran from the top of the arc to the bottom corner, cleverly bypassed the players on both sides of the field, and scurried around like a swimming snake.Wade, who was following behind him, was having a hard time.Finally caught up with Wang Shipeng at the bottom corner, but he turned around and ran along the bottom line to the other bottom corner.Wade turned around to chase, but bumped into his rookie Haislem in the same grade.

"King Arthur, hit a three-pointer." The commentator's passionate voice sounded.Shipeng Wang scored his first three-pointer in the summer league.
