As a player of the same era as Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian, Zhu Fangyu and others, Wang Shipeng left a deep impression, he and Zhu Fangyu were called "Zhu Bawang Qi", and was one of the most stable three-point shooters of the Chinese men's basketball team at that time, the most talked-about of which was the three-point shot that beat Slovenia in the 2006 World Championships.
Hello everyone, I am Kong Yiji, who doesn't like to steal books, today let's walk into Wang Shipeng's story!
01 At the age of 14, he went south to Guangdong
Like Zhu Fangyu, Du Feng, and Zhou Peng, Wang Shipeng's early career was not smooth, and he hit walls everywhere in his hometown basketball.
Wang Shipeng is a native of Dandong, Liaoning Province, and his biggest dream when he was a child was to be majestic and high-spirited, swimming across the Yalu River, so he began to learn Xi swim since he was a child, but unfortunately he grew too fast, and was persuaded to retire by the coach soon after.
Wang Shipeng has been in contact with basketball since the second grade, and practiced in a not very formal sports school, because there are not many people who train, so the coach can be wet with rain and dew, taking into account every student, so Wang Shipeng, who has not admitted defeat since he was a child, has laid a good foundation there.
Because of the continuous growth of technology and body, Wang Shipeng was sent up step by step, and finally in 1997 was recommended by Dandong Sports School to Liaoning Junior Sports School, in the process of trial, the coach said that he always felt good, so he asked him to wait for the notice, but a few days later, Wang Shipeng's father brought back the news of the defeat, and his father did not say the specific reason, just sighed on the side.
Later, it was rumored that Wang Shipeng was defeated for two reasons, the first is that there are many defenders in Liaoning, and there is no position for Wang Shipeng, and the second is that Wang Shipeng's family cannot give 50,000 yuan.
Wang Shipeng was still young at the time and didn't know what it meant to be lost, but when his father asked him whether he wanted to continue playing or go back to school, he chose the former without hesitation.
At that time, East China University of Science and Technology had found Wang Shipeng's father and expressed his willingness to recruit him as a sports student, but looking at Wang Shipeng's unyielding energy, he couldn't bear it, so he continued to help him find a way to play.
Recalling this experience, Wang Shipeng felt a lot of emotion, he said: "At that time, I really felt a little gambling, and if I succeeded, I might not even have to read a book." Fortunately, I was lucky enough to stay,"
In 1997, Wang Shipeng, who was only 14 years old, left his parents and went south to Guangdong alone to start his career.
However, as a native of Northeast China, Wang Shipeng was at a loss for the hot weather in Guangdong, and he was already dizzy before he started training, and fainted a few times, but at that time, his strong character began to reflect: "There is no other good way, just practice, and you can adapt to it by practicing a few more times." ”
Wang Shipeng entered the Hongyuan youth team with Zhu Fangyu and Du Feng almost at the same time, but when he first joined the team, he was a substitute in the bench, commonly known as the water cooler administrator, and the team would not even take him when he went out to play.
What impressed him the most was that once in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the youth team all went out to compete, the first team was also on vacation, the huge Hongyuan dormitory building, only he was left alone, enduring the magic attack of the cold wind in Guangdong, that kind of loss and loneliness, only those who have really experienced it will understand.
Wang Shipeng is very high-spirited and stubborn, but he is also very sensible, and he has never complained to his parents when he encounters many unpleasant things.
02 A basketball career that has accumulated steadily
In 1999, Wang Shipeng was officially promoted to the Hongyuan first team, when Zhu Fangyu Du Feng and others had begun to get stable playing time, and he once again became a water cooler player, of course, he has long been Xi to this treatment, sitting on the bench every game to carefully observe, record, and use a small book to total the game content and what the coach taught after returning.
In those days, the veteran Li Qun became a role model for Wang Shipeng, because Li Qun himself was also an inspirational representative, Li Qun was also not reused when he debuted, but he persevered, and finally entered the national team at the age of 27.
And opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, and when you sit on the bench, the coach may give you a message at any time: Are you ready?
If you answer "no" like Zhou Qi in the NBA, then the opportunity may be lost forever, and Wang Shipeng is not Zhou Qi and hates Zhou Qi, so he seized the opportunity.
After several seasons of dormancy, Wang Shipeng became the "super sixth man" after Zhu Fangyu, Du Feng, Li Qun, Ji Chen, and Song Xi in the 2003-04 season.
In 2005, Song Xi was unable to continue to play due to injury, Wang Shipeng became the main guard of the Hongyuan men's basketball team, in the fourth game of the finals that year, Wang Shipeng scored 36 points and 6 rebounds, making the aging Hu Weidong lose face, and also helped Hongyuan drag the game into Tianwang Mountain, and finally Zhu Fangyu harvested the game.
Because of his outstanding performance in that finals, Wang Shipeng was favored by the national team for the first time and was called into the training team of the Chinese men's basketball team, when Wang Shipeng was still a 100-kilogram heavy guard, but Younas told him that it is no longer the trend of world basketball to play by weight, so Wang Shipeng lost 15 kilograms in three months, and worked hard to practice Xi defense, striving to keep up with Zhang Jinsong.
The turning point in the fate of Wang Shipeng's national team occurred in the 2005 Si Cup, when Wang Shipeng rarely had the opportunity to appear in 11 warm-up games, but when it came to the official game, because Li Nan was injured and Zhang Jinsong's physical fitness declined, Wang Shipeng got an unprecedented opportunity to start, and handed over an answer sheet of 8 points, 2 rebounds and 2 steals.
In an interview with reporters, Younas said: "The 2005 Stankovic Cup changed my view of Wang Shipeng, I remember that at the beginning of the training camp in 2005, his defense was very bad, but by the end of the training camp, he gradually understood our defensive philosophy and did a very good job. He's a very hard worker, so he's improving a lot.
During the 2006 World Championships, Younas often took Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng and others to watch the shooting training of the world's top forwards, Wang Shipeng has been humbly learning Xi, and also carefully made notes, absorbing the advanced experience of European and American stars in the technique of backward jump shots, combined with his own high-intensity training, so that he gradually got out of the status of marginal people.
For Wang Shipeng's career, it is very appropriate to describe it with the word accumulation, his fourth three-point shooting, twelfth steal, and sixteenth assist.
Wang Shipeng has created many classic moments that cannot be replicated, such as the goal in the 2006 World Championships against Slovenia, which is not just as simple as scoring a goal, because this goal allowed the Chinese team to enter the semi-finals, and in such a special background, that goal cannot be replicated.
For another example, in the semifinals of the 2010 Asian Games, if it weren't for Wang Shipeng's key goal in the last 13 seconds, the Chinese men's basketball team would not be able to reverse and enter the finals.
In the finals with Xinjiang, Wang Shipeng was still not afraid in the face of the first foreign aid Quincy Dubie, and played the momentum of "doing the first foreign aid if you want to do it"
"My character is not to admit defeat, I don't think I will be worse than anyone else!", Wang Shipeng's sentence aptly describes his career.
03 "Seven Boys"
Wang Shipeng retired in 2016, but before retiring, he completed his life event: marrying his girlfriend Li Ran, who had been in love for three years.
Li Ran is a native of Shenyang, Liaoning, but grew up in Beijing since childhood, and Sun Yue's ex-wife Chen Lu is a good friend.
Li Ran studied in the UK when he was a student, and the media reported that Wang Shipeng had traveled to the UK many times to meet with his girlfriend, but Wang Shipeng never responded positively, and did not even admit that he had a girlfriend, and in 2013, he also said in an interview with the media: "I want to find a white rich truth, kindness and beauty."
By the time this relationship was made public, it was already October 26, 2014, Wang Shipeng and Li Ran officially entered the marriage hall on that day, and the two also specially filmed a wedding video called "Meet the Discovery", in which Li Ran said to Wang Shipeng: "If I can have 999 times of good luck in this life, I am willing to share all 998 times with you, and only leave one good luck for myself, that is, I can meet you." ”
In Li Run's eyes, Wang Shipeng is a warm man with a big grin, he said to the camera: "Wang Shipeng is very good at taking care of people, and he is also very broad-minded, over the years, I also thank Dapeng for always tolerating me, thank you for your love." ”
But Wang Shipeng is obviously a more emotional person, and he cried in the middle of the wedding speech, and Li Ran immediately ran to his side to comfort him.
It is worth mentioning that Zhu Fangyu, who was falling into a cheating scandal at the time, looked very happy, and he comforted Wang Shipeng and said: "Normal, normal, the first time in life." But netizens didn't seem to buy it, and they said: "Treat your wife well, don't learn from Zhu Ba!!"
Wang Shipeng and Li Ran, one is running around playing in China, the other is studying abroad for graduate school, they have always been in a state of gathering less and leaving more, and Li Ran is highly educated, graceful, and has a lot of family resources, and must have a lot of suitors, she was finally able to choose Wang Shipeng, which also shows that Wang Shipeng is indeed a responsible and responsible man.
Wang Shipeng and Li Ran were very affectionate after marriage, and in 2016, they both went to the United States to watch the NBA Finals, and in July 2017, their son was born, because Wang Shipeng's number is 7, and the child's birth date is also 7, so Wang Shipeng named the child "Qizai", probably hoping that his son will inherit the mantle in the future.
Recently, Wang Shipeng also posted a photo of his son "Qizai" on the Internet, with the text "All-round sports boy", uploading photos of his son playing rugby, basketball, and swimming, which looks very cute.
04 It's also wonderful after retiring
As a meritorious player of Hongyuan, Wang Shipeng did not stay in Hongyuan like Zhu Fangyu and Du Feng, but tried other jobs in the basketball field, including basketball commentary, player training, business investment and other industries.
Wang Shipeng entered the Guangzhou Institute of Physical Education in 2003 to Xi, and later successfully obtained a master's degree, coupled with his status as a former men's basketball player, so soon after retiring from the game, he entered the Guangzhou Institute of Physical Education as an associate professor in the basketball department of the Sports Training Institute.
In 2018, Wang Shipeng attended the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Student Sports Festival as an associate professor of Guangzhou Sports Institute, and would also go to Guangzhou Sports Institute to coach some students on weekdays.
In 2019, a reporter filmed Wang Shipeng's teaching process, and he said in front of the camera: "Dealing with young people every day, I feel like I am back to 20 years old, the whole person has become younger, and I am very happy every day!"
Many players have changed their bodies and gained weight after retiring, but Wang Shipeng has always maintained the Xi of fitness, training every day, and often going to the gym to maintain his condition.
After Wang Shipeng retired, he also took up the post of commentator, he said: After playing football for so many years, if you can't understand these things on the court, you will be sorry for the fans. I think there should be more professional players coming to the commentary position. I hope that everyone can watch the ball and see more doorways, which need to be explained by professionals.
But Wang Shipeng has a straightforward temperament and said a lot of inappropriate words on the way to comment, such as in June 2019, Wang Shipeng and Zhou Qi made an appointment for an interview, but Zhou Qi repeatedly delayed, and finally released the pigeon, Wang Shipeng was angry and directly opened:
"I finally know why you can't play in the NBA, it's not the ball problem, it's the people who can't do it, I guess the Rockets are afraid of cultivating a superstar who is bigger than Paul and Harden. ”
After being reversed by Poland in the 2019 World Cup, Wang Shipeng couldn't control his emotions in front of the camera, crying silently, he choked up and said: "We really need this victory so much, we stood here in 08, we actually have regrets." Today we especially want to make up for that regret. ”
After the World Cup, netizens linked Wang Shipeng's angry criticism of Zhou Qi with the World Cup loss, praised Wang Shipeng for "seeing people really accurately", and ridiculed: Wang Shipeng scolded Zhou Qi a few days ago, and last night Zhou Qi beat Wang Shipeng to tears in front of 1.4 billion Chinese.
Perhaps Wang Shipeng's feelings for the men's basketball team are too deep, so he has caused controversy many times on the way to the commentary, such as when Fan Zhiyi complained about Zhou Qi, Guo Allen and the Chinese men's basketball team at the Tucao Conference, Wang Shipeng complained angrily: "I am particularly wondering, when can football players evaluate the quality of our basketball?"
When the men's basketball team failed to reach the Asian Games finals in the 2023 Asian Games, Wang Shipeng said amazingly: "The gold medal of the Asian Games men's basketball team is lost, so our previous gold medals are worthless." ”
In addition to serving as a professor and commentator, Wang Shipeng joined the 2011 Yi Jianlian, former Guangdong general manager Liu Hongjiang and others co-founded the Torch camp, the purpose of the institution is to provide high-level training for young people who love basketball, and now has 20 campuses across the country, with more than 100,000 students, which is very influential in the national training institutions.
Wang Shipeng is now Yi Jianlian's partner, and he is also the head coach of the fire camp, and he is also a frequent guest of basketball events, and a university professor.
