Zeng Fanbo was thrown cold water! One sentence aroused many fans doubts: Get a formal contract first

This summer, Zeng Fanbo, who was still in the recovery period of injury, was favored by the NBA Nets, and both sides signed an ex10 contract. However, for Zeng Fanbo, if he really wants to enter the official NBA regular season stage, he still needs to try his best to get the last two-way contract quota of the Nets.

A few days ago, the Nets started the media day for the new season. Zeng Fanbo's words in an interview caused heated discussions among fans. Zeng Fanbo said: "As a Chinese player in the NBA, I must continue to work hard to break prejudice for all Asians."

Although Zeng Fanbo wants to express his ambition to stay in the NBA, his strength is still questioned by fans (after all, he has not been able to play dominant data in the CBA). Some fans also said bluntly: "It's too far-fetched, just work hard. Having that ability is looked down upon is bias, and not having that ability is not called prejudice, that is the fact, competitive sports still speaks with strength", "If you really want to break prejudice, Yao Ming It has long been proved that the yellow race can also become the best NBA star, and Jeremy Lin proved that the yellow race can also play point guard in the NBA. You should try your best to get a formal contract."

As a former four-star high school student in the United States, Zeng Fanbo's level is not the top in American high schools. After that, he failed to go to Gonzaga University in the NCAA and chose a more tortuous path. Joining the Development League Ignition Team. Facing a group of five-star high school students, Zeng Fanbo is basically an ordinary blue-collar engineer on the team. Zeng Fanbo only played 9 games during his time with the Ignition Team, and averaged only 13.6 minutes per game (scoring 3.8 points, 1.4 rebounds and 0.9 assists), which was basically the last minute for the team, so it was not surprising that Zeng Fanbo was defeated in the draft.

Of course, Xiao Zeng has his own ambitions to understand, but the NBA is still a stage to speak by strength. Zeng Fanbo’s top priority should work hard to get a place in a two-way contract. It is not too late to talk about proof for Asian players when he truly embarks on the official NBA stage.

However, rational analysis is that it is indeed quite difficult for Xiao Zeng to obtain the last two-way contract quota of the Nets. First of all, the NBA has never lacked strikers, not to mention that Zeng Fanbo is still an Asian player; secondly, Zeng Fanbo is still recovering from injuries. If he really suffers from injuries due to high load, then his NBA dream may really be shattered.

In short, the next training camp and two Chinese games are crucial to whether Zeng Fanbo can stay in the team. I also hope that he can seize this opportunity and truly open the door to the NBA so that Chinese fans in the new season can see the Chinese derby on the NBA stage.
