Zhou Peng will concentrate on playing basketball in the new season and will not serve as the head coach

It is reported that Zhou Peng will concentrate on playing basketball in the new season and will not serve as the head coach. The head coach of the Shenzhen Men's Basketball Team is Zheng Yonggang. In fact, it was Zheng Yonggang who guided and coached the second half of last season. Zheng Yonggang led the Guangdong U22 Men's Basketball Team to win the championship in the National Games that ended some time ago.

Zhou Peng mainly played in the second half of last season. He played in 28 regular season games, averaging 25.3 minutes per game, scoring 13.2 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists. His shooting percentage was as high as 50% and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 39.6%. He was still efficient and scored 20+ points in five consecutive games. Although Zhou Peng is 36 years old, he still has gas in the tank, and his scoring is second only to He Xining in the team. In fact, Zhou Peng is not suitable to be a head coach, at least for now. Only by playing can he realize his value. Zhou Peng holds the highest level C-type contract in the Shenzhen Men's Basketball Team, with an annual salary of up to 5.5 million. Zhou Peng's contract will expire next summer, and the new season is his contract year.

The Shenzhen Men’s Basketball Team is making every effort to hit the playoffs.

The Shenzhen Men’s Basketball Team had 17 wins and 29 losses last season, ranking 13th and missing the playoffs! Shen Zijie was sent away last season, and Gu was reimbursed for the whole season. The foreign players were relatively cheap, but they were clearly giving up. During this offseason, the Shenzhen Men’s Basketball Team signed four high-level foreign players, namely Tequvin Smith, Markell Johnson, Marin Maric, and Demaggio Wiggins. You may not be familiar with these four foreign players, so let me introduce them briefly.

Smith is the number one foreign aid. He was born in 2002. He is 1.93 meters tall. He has played in the NBA. He briefly played 10 games for the Jiangsu Men's Basketball Team last season, averaging 28 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.9 assists per game. His efficiency is very high. He was not laid off, and he left Jiangsu only after the death of a relative in his family.

Johnson, born in 1998, is 1.86 meters tall. He averaged 17.1 points, 4.1 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game in the Shenzhen Men's Basketball Team last season, shooting 48.6% from the field and 39.3% from the three-point range.

Maric, a Croatian national, was born in 1994 and is 2.11 meters tall. Maric is the national player of the Croatian men's basketball team. He played for the CBA Sichuan Men's Basketball Team last season. He averaged 28.7 minutes per game, 18 points, 10.7 rebounds and 3.3 assists. He shot 48.3% from the field and 37.1% from the three-point range. He can play both inside and outside.

Wiggins, born in 1997, is 2.08 meters tall. Wiggins played in the NBA Development League last season and has excellent physical fitness, rebounding and defense.

The four foreign players of the Shenzhen Men's Basketball Team all have good abilities. In addition, Gu Quan has returned from injury and has also signed veteran Luo Hanchen. The goal of the Shenzhen Men's Basketball Team in the new season is to hit the playoffs.
