Not on the roster of the Nets affiliated team! It is difficult for Yang Hansen to gain a foothold in the NBA, and Zeng Fanbo may be forced to return to the CBA

While everyone is focusing on Yang Hansen, Zeng Fanbo, another Chinese player who is working hard to hit the NBA, gradually disappears from the fans' field of vision. Xiao Zeng, who previously signed an ex10 contract with the Nets, only played one game in the NBA preseason and was waived by the team not long ago. However, according to relevant media reports, Zeng Fanbo will return to the United States to continue rehabilitation training and seek opportunities to continue to impact the NBA.

However, in the team list recently announced by the Nets Development League team Long Island Nets, Zeng Fanbo's name is not included. Considering that the CBA is about to start in more than a month, whether Zeng Fanbo returns will also largely affect the Beijing Men's Basketball Team's championship prospects in the new season. Seeing that Yang Hansen, as a first-round pick, is currently unable to gain a foothold in the NBA, for Zeng Fanbo, it will more or less shake his confidence in staying in the United States.

Even if an Asian forward like Zeng Fanbo can truly enter the NBA's regular season roster, there is a high probability that he will become a supporting role on the edge of the bench. The previous China game was a microcosm. You must know that it was still a pre-season game, and Zeng Fanbo failed to get a chance to shoot. He just ran back and forth on the court. But in the regular season where the competition was more intense, it was really difficult for Zeng Fanbo, who already had some glass attributes, to gain a foothold.

When he was playing for the Ignite team, Zeng Fanbo was a dispensable ordinary engineer. Although he has gained a lot of goals in the CBA in the past few years, his overall strength is still far behind those of these quasi-NBA-level European and American players. Moreover, most of the players who play in the Development League are players with "unique playing styles". A striker like Zeng Fanbo who is already weak in ball-handling offense will find it difficult to produce convincing statistics if he does not get the ball.

For Zeng Fanbo at this stage, he really needs to recognize the reality. The only pure Asian striker who has truly established a foothold in the NBA may be Japan's Yuta Watanabe, but he was not the team's absolute main rotation at the time. When he was with the Nets, if many core players weren't injured, Watanabe Yuta probably wouldn't have had many opportunities. If Zeng Fanbo felt that his dream of hitting the NBA was getting further and further away, it wouldn't be inappropriate to return to the CBA.

In this offseason, the Beijing Men's Basketball Team, while retaining many main players, also introduced the national player Zhao Rui. Their goal in the new season is definitely to continue to compete for the championship. As Zeng Fanbo is the core rotation of the team, both the management and the coaching staff will definitely hope that he will return, perhaps return to the CBA, and Zeng Fanbo will be able to lift the championship next season.
