He is Zhou Peng. In this issue, the Ziya Children's Fun Sports Observer will lead everyone to approach Zhou Peng and understand his story.
Zhou Peng was born in October 1989 in Dandong, Liaoning. Because Zhou Peng himself particularly likes basketball, he will tell his parents that he wants to learn basketball. Parents are also more enlightened people, so they respect their ideas. Since 1997, Zhou Peng has come to Dandong City's private Guanxing Sports School to study basketball.
Zhou Peng has been very tall since he was a child, and many people predicted that his height was about two meters. After coming to the sports school, Zhou Peng trained very hard every day. Although he is very young, he has a spirit of not accepting defeat, and Zhou Peng will do his best in everything.
Once he practiced shooting in a practice hall for a week because a shooting action was not standard, repeating the same action every day.
Because of Zhou Peng's outstanding personal ability, he has been favored by many teams. However, the parents did not want the child to be too far away from home, so they sent him to the Liaoning team. Because he is the youngest one, but his personality is more stubborn, love is more true, especially when playing, it is easy to clash with others.
At that time, the team was all older than him, and everyone didn't like him, so they bullied him, let him wash his feet, let him go out in the middle of the night to run errands to buy things, deliberately squeezed him at the back when eating in the canteen, and as a result, when others finished eating, he had not yet hit the meal. Because he couldn't stand the bullying of the team members, Zhou Peng left here.
In 2004, Zhou Peng was selected by Zhang Zhenmin and joined the Guangdong Hongyuan Youth Team. Because Zhou Peng's performance was very good, he entered the national youth basketball team the following month. In June 2005, Zhou Peng entered the U18 youth team with his own strength and participated in the American Sports Development Invitational Tournament.
In the game, Zhou Peng, as the starting small forward, averaged 29 minutes per game, averaged 9.8 points per game, the third place in the team, and averaged 3.5 rebounds per game, with a total shooting rate of 42 percent.

Although Zhou Peng achieved these victories, but he did not have the pride to continue to practice, constantly summing up the experience and lessons in the game, from December 2005 to January 2006, Zhou Pengshen in the CBA-CUBA game, played an average of 17.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.2 steals, the total shooting rate reached 65%, the three-point shooting rate reached 35%, Zhou Peng's Guangdong youth team finally defeated Shandong University of Science and Technology and won the championship.
In May 2006, Zhou Peng participated in the Training Camp of The Rising Star in Asia, followed by the Adidas Rising Star American Basketball Training Camp held in Atlanta, USA. These experiences allowed Zhou Peng to learn a lot of techniques, and he also found his shortcomings and deficiencies in the process, and corrected them in time to improve his strength and level.
Zhou Peng works very hard in training, often running back and forth on the field with a sweaty head, as an athlete physical injury is a common thing, so Zhou Peng's body often appears some bruises, but he never cares about these. For him, only his own level is what he should care about.
In April 2007, Zhou Peng was again selected for the national youth team because of his outstanding personal ability. He then participated in the Mannheim Youth Invitational in Germany. Zhou Peng started five of his six games and played well, scoring a total of 96 points and averaging 16 points, fourteenth in the league and first in the team.
This is the result of his hard training, because in this game, Zhou Peng's posture and shooting action have been appreciated by fans, and he has also gained a large number of fans.
The hardships behind the scenery are not seen. In the 06-07 season of the CBA, Zhou Peng also sat on the cold bench for a while. Because the team needed it, the head coach let him practice defending. However, for an offensive player, suppressing his offensive desire is a painful thing, but Zhou Peng still did it.
In the 2010-11 season, when teammate Zhu Fangyu could not make a breakthrough in attack, Zhou Peng silently led the team out of the predicament, scoring high scores again and again, only the first leg of the semifinals, Zhou Peng set a good record of 27 points in his career in 38 minutes.
In 2011, Guangdong defeated Xinjiang 4-2 to achieve four consecutive championships and won seven CBA championships during the season, with Zhou Peng scoring seven points. In 2013, Zhou Peng won the CBA championship for the eighth time with the Guangdong team. He's like a champion harvester, constantly showing his talents on the field.
In 2012, Zhou Peng was selected for the 12-man Team of the Chinese Men's Basketball Team at the London Olympic Games, representing the national team. In the competition, Zhou Peng won everyone's love for his outstanding performance.
Zhou Peng has been exercising his ability, and he has not slackened off in the slightest. In 2016, he played with the team at the Rio Olympics. In 2019, after six years of returning to the CBA, Zhou Peng and his teammates once again won the championship.
However, in the training on August 27, 2019, Zhou Peng was accidentally injured, his left foot was fractured, and he had to cultivate, so Zhou Peng did not qualify for the Men's Basketball World Cup. Although he did not participate in this competition, Zhou Peng did not feel disappointed, because he knew that only by raising his body could he participate in more competitions and stand on a higher stage.
In the fourth round of the CBA regular season in October this year, Zhou Peng scored a result that shocked everyone after a period of cultivation. In the first three rounds of the competition, Zhou Peng's Guangdong team achieved a good result of three consecutive wins, and the next thing they need to play against is Shanghai. Shanghai lost to Beijing in the last round, and before they could adjust their mentality, they were facing guangzhou, which successfully defended the championship, which was a big challenge for them.
At the beginning of the game, both teams performed well, and Zhou Peng also hit a three-point line outside the ball. At the end of the first match, Guangdong won a temporary victory with a lead of 2 points. Zhao Rui then became the main offensive point of the Guangdong team in the second quarter. Because of the excellent performance, Xu Jie and Zhou Peng jointly scored 9 points, guangdong team also got 29 points in the single quarter, and at the end of the first half of the game, Guangdong team got 5 points.
Because Yi Jianlian was absent from this game, this game was still more stressful for the Guangdong team. At the end of the game, Zhou Peng finally defeated the Shanghai team with a score of 112 to 97 with his excellent performance, and won four consecutive victories.
Zhou Peng also became the most reliable player in the team, playing 31 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists, which became the key to the team's victory. Wang Zhelin, on the Shanghai side, did not play well, only getting 12 points and 7 rebounds.
Zhou Peng has gone through big and small games, and now he has grown into a player who can take on big responsibilities and play steadily. In the near future, he may have higher achievements.
It is impossible to work hard in any field, even if it is a genius, if you do not study hard, you will become a mediocre talent over time. So while we envy others for getting applause and flowers, we should not ignore the efforts made behind others.
The future of each of us is infinite, but it takes corresponding efforts to have a better future. After listening to Zhou Peng's story, what do you think of this teenager? What did you learn from him? Everyone is welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss.
