Return to China and earn a 7-digit annual salary or earn $100,000 a year in the United States? Shougang may influence Zeng Fanbo s decision

In fact, he didn't get many opportunities to play in the China game. Everyone knows that Zeng Fanbo will most likely not get a two-way contract with the Nets. Sure enough, the Nets officially announced that they would lay off Zeng Fanbo. There were only two options before Zeng, either to stay in the United States to pursue his dream, or to return to the comfort zone of the CBA. However, if he chooses the latter, it also means that Zeng Fanbo may not be able to play in the NBA at all in the future.

After being laid off, the Nets self-media Netsdaily also talked about Zeng Fanbo's situation: If Zeng Fanbo returns to China, he can get a 7-digit annual salary, but if he goes to the G League, the annual salary will be up to 100,000 US dollars. In addition, Zeng Fanbo's studio also revealed that Zeng Fanbo will continue to return to the United States to focus on physical recovery and evaluate next plans.

The 22-year-old Zeng Fanbo is still relatively young. If he wants to continue to impact the NBA, the next 1-2 years will be very critical. If he returns to the CBA, as the NBA does not pay much attention to the Chinese league, even if Zeng Fanbo continues to show progress, he will not gain much exposure in North America. However, if he goes to the G League, Zeng Fanbo will still have a chance to fight for an NBA contract.

As early as last month, the head coach of the Long Island Nets (Nets Development League team) praised Xiao Zeng and expressed that he looked forward to coaching him. Zeng Fanbo had previously signed an EX10 contract with the Nets, and players who signed such a contract would basically go to the team's Development League team if they were laid off. If Zeng Fanbo really chooses to return to the CBA, he will not go to the United States for rehabilitation training. Therefore, there is a high probability that Zeng will choose to go to the United States and take advantage of the next 1-2 years to hit the NBA again.

In the past few seasons, the progress Zeng Fanbo has shown in the CBA can be said to be visible to the naked eye. It cannot be said that his abilities cannot reach the NBA level. For Xiao Zeng, he really needs a chance to show off, as long as It's a pity that the nature of the contract he received means that he is destined to be unable to obtain sufficient fault tolerance and performance opportunities like a first-round pick like Yang Hansen. If he has to give up the high salary of the CBA and go to the Development League with an annual salary of only $100,000, Xiao Zeng must also be prepared to withstand many difficulties.

For Zeng Fanbo, he definitely wants to stay in the United States and compete in the NBA, but now it depends on whether Beijing Shougang is willing to become an adult. During this offseason, the Beijing team introduced Zhao Rui. With the lineup strengthened, there is indeed a high chance that they can challenge for the championship in the new season. However, Zeng Fanbo's departure will undoubtedly severely damage their wing position. If Zeng Fanbo is forced to return, then Xiao Zeng's NBA dream may really be shattered.
