Zhou Peng, born on October 11, 1989 in Dandong, Liaoning Province, was not like other athletes, born in a sports family, he was born in an ordinary family, since childhood is very naughty, often with childhood playmates fight, parents are also very fond of him.
Zhou Peng with the increase of age, the speed of height growth is getting faster and faster, compared with the same age, height has a great advantage, relatives and neighbors think that he is a good seedling to play basketball, because more and more people praise their sons, parents are also afraid of delaying the development of their children, so they sent 8-year-old Zhou Peng to sports school.
Zhou Peng's basketball career has not been smooth, from 1997 to 2004 has been enrolled in the local private sports school, in the past few years, Zhou Peng's height began to soar, and the understanding of basketball is much higher than that of his peers.
His predicted height is 2 meters 07, at that time many teams were in love with him, not only including the team in his hometown, the Xinjiang team, the Jilin team also threw an olive branch to him, because the parents felt that the child was too small and did not want Zhou Peng to be too far away from home, so they chose the Liaoning youth team.
Because of his high talent, he was uprooted to enter the professional team at a very young age, but there were also drawbacks, because of his age than those who joined the team earlier, Zhou Peng was often bullied, such as often letting him wash his feet, rushing him to buy cigarettes in the middle of the night, going to the canteen to eat, he was in line in front, but he was pushed backwards, and as a result, everyone ate, and he did not eat.
Coupled with Zhou Peng's temper is very stubborn, naturally aggressive, often because of disputes and fights with others, coupled with often bullied, just a week after going in, his parents took Zhou Peng away, and since then bid farewell to the team in his hometown.
In March 2004, Zhou Peng, who has a very high basketball talent, was selected by the Guangdong Hongyuan Youth Basketball Team, and a month later, he successfully entered the national youth team, and in the following years, Zhou Peng has been participating in various types of competitions, not only domestic competitions, but also participated in some international competitions, which also allowed Zhou Peng to grow rapidly, and his skills and strength have been significantly improved.
In the 2006-2007 season, Zhou Peng, with his strength and hard work, played into the first team from the Hongyuan second team with the title of "Youth League Scoring King" at that time, but after entering the CBA, Zhou Peng did not have such good luck, because Zhu Fangyu was at his peak at that time, Zhou Peng had no chance to appear on the bench and spent two consecutive seasons on the bench.
Because there were many attackers in the Guangdong team at that time, Zhou Peng was difficult to have the opportunity to play, and li Chunjiang, the head coach of the Guangdong team at that time, saw the problem, so he gave Zhou Peng a suggestion, if you want to play on the field and get more playing time, you can take on the team's defensive responsibilities, plus Zhou Peng has a good arm span and height, Zhou Peng found a way to survive in the team.
So Zhou Peng soaked in the training hall all day, practicing defensive skills, restraining his offensive desire, and often asking some veteran players about defensive experience, repeatedly watching some game videos, and practicing his defensive position.
Kung Fu pays off, the opportunity must be left to those who are prepared, in the 2010-11 season, when the team's number one attacker Zhu Fangyu fell into an offensive downturn, Zhou Peng stood up silently, cut the highest score of the whole team again and again, not only defensive top, but also often dedicated wonderful performances on the offensive end.
Zhou Peng played better and better, more and more stable, and successfully entered the big list of the national team, whether in the league or in the national team games, Zhou Peng played a very important role and became a stabilizer in the team.
Once, when preparing for an international competition, his daughter was seriously ill, and the national team gave him an indefinite vacation to let him go back to visit his daughter, but he rushed back to prepare for the international competition before he reached the day, which also encouraged many team members.
Not only in the national team but also in the league team, when there is Zhou Peng, he is the captain, and many people will have questions, when there are veterans such as Yi Jianlian and Liu Wei in the team, why Zhou Peng can still take on the position of captain when the strength is not good for them. It is because Zhou Peng is very responsible, can mingle with the team members, and can do ideological work for them at critical moments.
Under the leadership of Zhou Peng, Guangdong team won the CBA championship many times, so that Guangdong team back to the peak, for the team, he can not only contribute on the court, still play a lot of roles off the court, in recent years, the championship, he always saved the team at key moments, for the Guangdong team he is an important spiritual leader.
In 2019, the Basketball World Cup was held at the doorstep, but just a few months before the game, Zhou Peng came with bad news, officially withdrew from the national team due to injury, due to the lack of front line of the Chinese team at that time, Zhou Peng's injury made the national team less of the main bone, the team lost at home, if Zhou Peng was not injured at that time, perhaps the ending would really be different.
Zhou Peng not only has high achievements in his career, but also has perfect love in terms of feelings, Zhou Peng fell in love with Liu Mei at first sight at the age of 16, the two also got together because of basketball, because Liu Mei looks sweet, Zhou Peng is deeply attracted to her after seeing her.
Liu Mei is 1 meter 88 tall, not only good-looking, but also a pair of slender and slender legs, a very high appearance makes Zhou Peng love her undiminished, and now the two have also had a son and a daughter, and she often takes her children to see Zhou Peng play.
Nowadays, sitting on a beautiful wife, but also often living in a mansion, driving a luxury car, life is very happy, his wife's encouragement and cheering, so that Zhou Peng on the court more desperate, not only for the Guangdong team to win the league championship many times, but also for the national team has made a lot of contributions.
I hope that Zhou Peng can have a double harvest in his career and family, and I hope that he can lead the team to continue to move forward and continue to fight for the championship, of course, I hope that he can always stay healthy and cheer for him!
