In the CBA, Zhang Yongpeng is a small person, has not been in the national team, and has not been elected an All-Star. But this season in the CBA, he is the most surprising character, not even one of them.
Before the start of the 2021-22 season, Zhang Yongpeng could not find his next home for a long time and was considered to be likely to retire. The bad condition is because in the 2020-21 season, Zhang Yongpeng did not play a single game and was abandoned by the Guangzhou men's basketball team for the whole season. After a season of not playing, it is difficult to guarantee the status, and many players have fallen. Zhang Yongpeng's reputation is also not good, he was hidden in the snow, it is believed that due to the unsuccessful request for a high contract extension, there is a contradiction with the Guangzhou men's basketball team.
The agent is Sui Ran, who further reduces the public opinion's good feelings for Zhang Yongpeng. Sui Ran is also the agent of many big-name athletes such as Wang Zhelin, Zhou Qi and Ding Yanyuhang, but he has been infamous because he is too good for the interests of players. Because of Ding Yanyu hang, Sui Ran and his old owner Shandong men's basketball team got into trouble all over the city, and when dealing with Zhou Qi's affairs, he fell out with the Xinjiang men's basketball team. In the matter of Wang Zhelin playing health basketball and forcing the Fujian men's basketball team to let him leave the team, Sui Ran was also accused of playing a disgraceful role.
But Zhang Yongpeng completed a gorgeous turn, played an important role in the Fujian men's basketball team, and served as the starter for a long time. Playing the Tianjin men's basketball team, Zhang Yongpeng had 18 points and 9 rebounds in a single game, and against the Zhejiang men's basketball team, he had a double-double of 16 points and 11 rebounds in a single game. In the case of Wang Zhelin's departure, Zhang Yongpeng provoked a girder in the fujian men's basketball team.
Being able to climb out of the trough is first of all because Zhang Yongpeng has strength. At 2.12 meters tall, Zhang Yongpeng is not very heavy, but he is very strong and his playing style is also very strong. He also practiced first-class defensive skills, and Zhang Yongpeng had a foundation based on the CBA. Relying on his outstanding defensive ability, Zhang Yongpeng has played the main force in the Zhejiang men's basketball team, the Guangsha men's basketball team or the Guangzhou men's basketball team before, and can play the role of a defensive gate.
Zhang Yongpeng is defined as a blue collar, but the offensive end is not in vain. Can eat cake, in the penalty area also has a certain single ability, Zhang Yongpeng can also shoot. What is rare is that Zhang Yongpeng is also very smart in playing. In the Fujian men's basketball team, when foreign aid or other players are going well on the offensive end, Zhang Yongpeng is at ease with defense and fully protects rebounds. When teammates are dumbfounded, Zhang Yongpeng can also stand up and score, and this season Zhang Yongpeng has scored double-figures in a single game.
It can always play a role, and Zhang Yongpeng's reuse by the Fujian men's basketball team has become a natural thing. A virtuous circle was formed, and Zhang Yongpeng was able to gain a firm foothold and become one of the pillars. Judging from this season's performance, Zhang Yongpeng is still second-rate in the local interior line. Getting a long-term contract from the Fujian men's basketball team is a high probability event for Zhang Yongpeng, even if he changes the court, he will not worry about going home.
