Chapter 8 Yao Ming
Wade's eyes narrowed. From Wang Shipeng's skillful running movements and confident shooting expression just now, Wade smelled danger.

On the other side, Wang Shipeng was celebrating with Douglas. The 193 cm tall black man smiled like a child.This is why the Bulls are willing to accept Wang Shipeng very quickly.Because the ball passed to him is always turned into an assist with the greatest possibility.

Wade did not admit defeat easily, turned his head and immediately charged Wang Shipeng with the ball, and rampaged in the Bulls' hinterland again and again relying on his strong body.Maybe in the regular season, the current Wade is not enough to handle the game on his own, but in the summer league, the lethality of Wade in his rookie year is no less than a nuclear weapon.Fortunately, the Bulls also have their own nukes.

With the help of Douglas and Chandler, Wang Shipeng slid like a loach, drilling around the entire court.There is a little gap, and a three-point arrow will suddenly shoot out and hit the basket.

热火队方面：韦德18投10中，拿到29分5篮板4助攻2盖帽，表现的相当不错，而热火的另一个03新秀海斯勒姆出场了24分钟，拿到8分4篮板。

For the Bulls: Wang Shipeng made 22 of 14 shots, including 7 of 4 three-pointers. He scored 41 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists. He became the biggest contributor to the Bulls' victory. Chandler also performed very well. He played 28 minutes. With a double-double of 12 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks, he fulfilled his commitment to go all out.

In the locker room after the game.

"Arthur, the team won, are you treating me?" Chandler said with a playful smile.He had a great time playing this game.Perhaps it is more tacit understanding.Four of Wang Shipeng's six assists were given to him. As a center with no independent offensive ability, Chandler understands how important it is to have a passer who can pass the ball to the basket.It's not easy, after three years, the team finally has a qualified organizer.If it weren't for Wang Shipeng who scored 40+, he showed extraordinary attack power.Chandler wants to suggest to the coach that Wang Shipeng be the point guard.

"No problem, Pink Rose, let's go." Wang Shipeng knew that Chandler was showing his favor to him.After all, in the years since Jordan left, the Bulls have had frequent personnel changes.

In 99, it was hard to find an insider Brand who could average 20+10 per game in his rookie season.It took only two seasons to send it away.Although Chandler's coming to the Bulls is benefited from Brand's trade, Chandler still finds it very difficult to understand the Bulls' mysterious operation.

Wang Shipeng is Chinese and has a Chinese market behind him.Yao Ming's success last year showed the world the strength and potential of China.As long as he has strength, the management should not be so stupid as to send him away.

As for whether Wang Shipeng is capable or not, Chandler thinks it doesn't need to be said.

In the game against the Denver Nuggets the next day, Wang Shipeng and Carmelo Anthony faced each other for the entire first half.

安东尼上场35分钟，22投12拿下37分6篮板3助攻，表现非常出色。

而王仕鹏相比之下毫不逊色。他上场38分钟，21投12中拿下40分5助攻3篮板，表现丝毫不在安东尼之下。

Immediately after facing the Toronto Raptors, Wang Shipeng made persistent efforts and scored 36 points, 44 assists and 4 rebounds in 4 minutes, successfully leading the team to three consecutive victories in the summer league.

After achieving 40 points in a row, Wang Shipeng is no longer unknown, and Chicago fans are more willing to believe that maybe this young Chinese man really has the potential to become the next Reggie Miller.Even a defensive version of Reggie Miller.

"If you want to say that the hottest player in the Long Beach Summer League is undoubtedly the King who stepped into Cleveland, James, who averaged 30+10+8 per game in three games, has shown a very versatile quality. He is worthy of the honor of the No. 40 pick. And if we say If there is another rookie who can be compared with the little emperor, it is undoubtedly the king of China of the Bulls. Wang Shipeng, who averaged 5+4+[-] per game, led the Bulls to three consecutive victories. He himself has become a well-deserved summer league And now, our little emperor is going to meet King Arthur, let us wait and see what the result will be."

"Dapeng, you are amazing. Scoring champion, I am hopeless." Yao Ming's voice came from the opposite side.

That's right, the Bulls are going to meet the Cavaliers soon, because there is no important international competition in 2003, so under Yao Ming's request, neither he nor Wang Shipeng joined the national team, let alone participated in the Stankovic Cup games like that.Shipeng Wang went to Long Beach to participate in the summer league, while Yao Ming returned to Houston for training.

In fact, Wang Shipeng and Yao Ming have known each other for a long time. In 2000, when Wang Shipeng was just reborn, Yao Ming, who was already a member of the national team and a star center of the CBA at that time, was invited as a guest in the U18 national team game, and Wang Shipeng was the star of that U18 team. and starting shooting guard.The two got together after the game and had a good chat, and they have been friends ever since.

Later, Wang Shipeng entered the national team and became Yao Ming's teammate. He performed well in the Indiana World Championships and relieved Yao Ming's pressure to a large extent.Yao Ming has regarded him as his best friend since then.Contact often.It was also at the instigation of Wang Shipeng that Yao Ming firmly rejected the Basketball Association's request for him to participate in the Stankovic Cup.He even went to Long Beach to cheer for Wang Shipeng before his important game.

"Brother Yao, don't say that, as long as you can keep playing for more than a dozen seasons. When you retire, you will become a super center with no less influence than Sabonis." Wang Shipeng's lips turned, very simply Start to fool around: "Brother Yao, among other things, you must remember that if Houston makes you gain too much weight, remember not to agree. You are already tall, and our yellow bones are not as fragile as black people. Huge Your weight will become your Achilles heel. Look at Shaq. That guy is so fat. He played more than 70 games in that season in recent years. This is a lesson. It’s not that Shaq has no professionalism, but If he doesn't rest for 20 or so games in the regular season, there is no guarantee that he will be able to play at full strength in the playoffs, even if it is Shaq, let alone you."

Yao Ming rolled his eyes: "Dapeng, you are here again. I told you that the team didn't ask me to gain weight." He was asked to gain weight, but some people on the front office and the coaching staff have also mentioned making him more powerful in the low post.It's just that head coach Tomkovic and general manager Dawson didn't have support, so he didn't start massively gaining weight.

Yao Ming actually felt that what they said was right, that he really should gain weight to enhance his low-post lethality.But Wang Shipeng's words are also very convincing.After all, he doesn't want to enter the league ten years later than Shaq and retire with that big Shaq one day or even earlier.Wang Shipeng also cited the example of Cleveland's big center named Z. He lost weight decisively after repeated injuries due to his overweight. Now he plays quite well and has a high attendance rate every season.

Forget it, anyway, I didn't feel how difficult the confrontation was, so let's see.
