As a major province of basketball talents, Liaoning has contributed many famous stars and coaches after the founding of New China, and in today's CBA League, Liaoning people are full of talents, and it can be said that Liaoning has made great contributions to Chinese basketball. But we also found an interesting fact, although most of the players in the Liaoning men's basketball team are natives of Liaoning, some other strong teams also have a lot of Liaoning people. For example, the eleventh champion Guangdong Hongyuan, the past Wang Shipeng, and now Zhou Peng, are all authentic Liaoning people. Perhaps some fans are curious, Wang Shipeng and Zhou Peng, such as top local stars, have such outstanding talent, why do not want to play for their hometown team, but run thousands of miles to join Guangdong Hongyuan, the old enemy of Liaoning Basketball! Taking Zhou Peng as an example, the player who has won the most championships in active service is actually a member of the Liaoning Basketball Youth Training, but later there have been some changes, and he will angrily leave the team and join Hongyuan!
Yes, like most Liaoning basketball youths with outstanding talent, Zhou Peng has been determined to join his hometown team since he was a child and play in the CBA League for Liaoning Basketball. At that time, Zhou Peng's parents also sent Zhou Peng to the Liaoning Basketball Youth Team, and Zhou Peng, who passed the trial training, became one of the youngest members of the Liaoning Basketball Youth Training Echelon. At that time, there were some bad atmospheres in the Liaoning basketball youth training echelon. According to Zhou Peng's coach at the time, due to his late entry into the team and his young age, Zhou Peng became the bully of the older "big brothers".
Some veteran team members let Zhou Peng pour water for him, some people often let him clean the dormitory toilet, and even some old team members directly snatched the food that Zhou Peng brought from home... Zhou Peng, who had been bullied, spent only a week in Liaoning Basket, and was humiliated, picked up by his parents, and bid farewell to his hometown team. Therefore, it is not that Zhou Peng does not want to play for Liao Basket, but at that time, he was bullied and could not continue to stay in Liao Basket, so he chose to leave Liao Basket!
After leaving Liao basket, the next week Peng joined the Guangdong Hongyuan Youth Team under the introduction of acquaintances. Due to his outstanding talent and Zhou Peng's own hard work, he slowly became the top card of the Hongyuan Youth Team, and then he was successfully selected for the National Youth League and played a famous role. Later stories we also know, after Zhou Peng was promoted to the first team, starting from defense, after Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng and other veteran players retired, he became the trump card of Guangdong Hongyuan's front line, or the absolute main force of the national team for many years. After helping Hongyuan win his third triple crown last year, Zhou Peng has worn eight championship rings and is tied with Su Wei as the player with the most total number of CBA championships in active combat.
Liaoning has never lacked basketball talents, which is a fact recognized by everyone from before to now. However, the management of the former Liaoning Basketball Youth Training is indeed more chaotic, and talented players like Wang Shipeng and Zhou Peng have finally no chance to stay, which is a pity. Of course, today's Liaoning men's basketball team, after experiencing pain, the front line has also emerged such excellent players as Zhang Zhenlin and Fu Hao. In this year's CBA playoffs, young Zhang Zhenlin and Fu Hao "bullied" Zhou Peng enough, but if Zhou Peng was a few years younger, Liao Basket would probably not be so easy to eliminate Hongyuan! Zhou Peng has contributed a lot to Hongyuan, and after the contract ends this summer, he should be able to get the first salary of his career, and I hope that he can continue to fight and get the ninth championship of his career as soon as possible!
