Urumqi Evening News All Media News (reporter Chen Yanfang) A few days ago, the CBA officially released the 2021-2022 season injury report, and Liu Lipeng, a men's basketball team in Xinjiang, was among them. A cruciate ligament injury to the knee is expected to require a 30-week recovery period. The same injury, Xinjiang men's basketball player Liang Yingqi is also among them, CBA officially gave a 12-week recovery period.
The reporter learned from the Xinjiang Guanghui men's basketball team that at present, Liu Lipeng and Liang Yingqi are recovering together in Beijing. Liang Yingqi is likely to catch up with this season, but Liu Lipeng has been reimbursed for this season.
At present, the Xinjiang men's basketball team has completed two games in the new season, and it is not difficult to find that the Xinjiang team's 3-point shooting rate is very low, and the court cannot open up enough space. At this time, if Liu Lipeng is present, the problem of 3-point long-range shooting can be solved.
Liu Lipeng, who is 1.96 meters tall, is 24 years old and can play as a striker and a defender. In the 2020-2021 season, Liu Lipeng was the top 3-point shooter in the CBA league rankings.
On December 18, 2020, Xinjiang defeated Sichuan 107-92 in the CBA regular season, and in this game, Xinjiang forward Liu Lipeng played 31 minutes, shooting 8 of 12, including 7 of 11 three-pointers, with 23 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. The 23-point score and seven three-pointers in this game both set a new career high for Liu Lipeng.
Throughout the season, Liu Lipeng played 35 games, shooting an average of 48% of the three-point shooting rate, becoming an important rotation player in Xinjiang's outside line, and also a defensive gate for Xinjiang's outside line, which was very optimistic about the fans and thought he could enter the Chinese men's basketball team.
On January 6, 1997, Liu Lipeng was born in Daqing, Heilongjiang, and from the age of 13, he joined the Xinjiang men's basketball youth team.
Liu Lipeng was the main striker in the team during his youth team, and his dream was to enter the CBA League and play for the Xinjiang team.
In 2018, Liu Lipeng, with excellent technology, can fully enter the Xinjiang Guanghui men's basketball team, but because there are too many first-line talents in the same batch of young players as him, the front-line talents are abundant, and the registered players of the Xinjiang team have reached saturation, and he can only be loaned to Hefei original and play the NBL League for one year. During the NBL period, Liu Lipeng was an all-star player in the league.
In 2019, Liu Lipeng encountered the CBA league to introduce new rules: players under the age of 21 (born after 1998) can join the team as self-cultivated players, while 22-year-old Liu Lipeng can only participate in the draft because of his overage age. Fortunately, the Xinjiang team passed the first round of draft picks and welcomed back their children.
In 2019, through the CBA draft, Liu Lipeng was signed by the Xinjiang team and officially logged into the CBA for the 2019-2020 season.
At the beginning, because of his lack of experience, Liu Lipeng was not less reprimanded by head coach Adi Jiang. But after constant effort and improvement, last season he became one of the regular rotation forwards.
Hard work, hard work, and talent are enough, but throughout Liu Lipeng's playing career, his luck is always a little worse.
On January 7, 2020, in Xinjiang away to Guangsha, he suffered a fracture of his left palm bone. Later, although he caught up with the CBA rematch, he played as a backup point guard. His return from injury and unfamiliar positions made his first season particularly difficult.
On January 19, 2021, Xinjiang played Guangsha again, and just after the game began, Liu Lipeng suffered another fracture of his hand bone when he played for 3 minutes. At that time, Liu Lipeng topped the league with a 50% three-point shooting rate. This injury made him lose the feel he had at the time, even after recovering.
Just out of a fracture of his hand for about two consecutive years, during this year's summer training, Liu Lipeng was once again plagued by injuries.
This year, the Xinjiang men's basketball team plans to train young players and let young people take on more burdens, and Liu Lipeng belongs to this range. But bad luck, every season there are injuries, each time can not finish the game, this injury state, for the growth and rise of his period, is a bad situation. After all, the age is not small, and the experience needs to be supplemented.
Captain Abdul Shalamu Abdul Reshiti and Liu Lipeng, who have the same injury, have spent 354 days recovering and have now recovered, showing good competitive form in this year's competition. Before the expedition, Abdul Shalamu Abdul Reshiti was very confident in himself, and he told reporters that he believed that he would live up to expectations after recovering.
The Xinjiang Guanghui men's basketball team also gave Players such as Liang Yingqi, Yu Dehao, Yu Changdong, Abdul Shalamu Abdul Rexiti, who have been plagued by such injuries, enough time to recover and wait for them to return.
I believe that this time, Liu Lipeng can still bravely overcome the injury, and look forward to his ill-fated return as soon as possible and bring more surprises to the fans. (Photo/ Courtesy of respondents)
