Brisbane Bullets1 seasonBIO: Wang Tong was born in China.
Wang Tong made his NBL debut with the Brisbane Bullets at 22 years of age. He went scoreless in his first NBL game.
Brisbane added Wang Tong (via Shanghai) and Yan Peng (via Shanghai) as development players in October as part of the developing relationship between the NBL and Chinese basketball. The Shanghai Sharks pair had been selected for the opportunity by former Australian Boomers coach Brian Goorjian. Speaking through an interpreter, he said he wanted to join Brisbane “because of the coach” and wanted to “learn things from him and improve.”
Tong (0 points) made his first appearance against Melbourne on January 21, playing the final 21 seconds as Torrey Craig (24 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block) and Daniel Kickert (24 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block) led Brisbane, while Casper Ware (27 points, 4 assists, and 2 steals) led Melbourne in an 88-71 Bullets victory.
Tong (0 points across 3 games) remained a development player throughout his short stint with Brisbane and no injury was reported.
His best game came against Perth on February 3, where Tong (0 points and 1 rebound) played 56 seconds and attempted one field goal. Mitchell Young (16 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 1 block) led Brisbane, while Bryce Cotton (25 points) and Greg Hire (20 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 steal) led Perth to a 94-63 victory.
Tong’s final appearance came against Illawarra at WIN Entertainment Centre on February 11, where Tong (0 points) played 3 minutes and 10 seconds as Torrey Craig (30 points, 18 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal) and Tom Jervis (14 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 blocks) led Brisbane, while Oscar Forman (26 points and 1 block) and Rotnei Clarke (24 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists) led Illawarra to a 106-79 victory, leaving Brisbane eighth with a 10-18 record.
