Yesterday, Shandong heard a bad news, the team's foreign aid Lester Hudson was arrested in the United States. Hudson, who is now on bail, faces three charges that he is certainly unable to leave the country anytime soon.
Although whether foreign aid can be allowed to enter is still a problem, but in this case, Hudson, who has a lawsuit, has a high probability of not being able to return to China, and must wait for the verdict to be announced, which is a fatal blow to the Shandong team, and can only pin his hopes on the veteran Zhang Qingpeng.
This is the last CBA season of the 39-year-old veteran Zhang Qingpeng, who has played in the CBA for 19 seasons since the 2001-2002 season. In the past 19 years, Zhang Qingpeng has played for 4 other CBA teams.
Although he is already 39 years old and his physical strength is not as good as before, Zhang Qingpeng's play is still stable, so Gong Xiaobin's guidance is very trusting of him. This is mainly due to Zhang Qingpeng's great self-discipline, basically no smoking or drinking during the season, and always carrying out systematic training in the offseason.
At that time, he was forced to leave the Liaoning men's basketball team because of the contradiction with Guo Shiqiang's guidance, which did not make Zhang Qingpeng depressed, but made him more excellent. Because after leaving the system to become a player outside the system, he must rely on his own ability to get job opportunities and earn money to support his family.
<h1>Today, Zhang Qingpeng has become a representative of the CBA's outstanding players, and his self-discipline and diligence have been widely recognized. If Hudson really can't return, he has the ability to lead the Shandong men's basketball team to continue to move forward. </h1>
