It s been 3 years! For the unfulfilled dream, Zeng Fanbo set out again!

The Nets will sign Zeng Fanbo. According to reports from all parties, they are signing Exhibit 10.

This young man was very familiar with him, after all, he signed with the Pacers three years ago.

In the summer league in July 2022, Zeng Fanbo played 5 games for the Pacers, averaging about 9 minutes of playing time and contributing 5.4 points and 1.2 rebounds. After the summer league, he returned to the CBA parent team, Beijing Shougang.

Exhibit 10 is actually not a "contract" in the explicit sense. It refers to a clause that only contains the bonus of Exhibit 10 itself and has no other bonuses.

contracts do not belong to the NBA nature, but to the development league nature of the team, and they are not included in the team's salary cap.

can be understood as a summer training camp contract, and these players probably have nothing to do before the new season begins.

But you can play as an NBA team's assigned player and go to the Development League team.

If he stays in the Development League team for 60 days, he can get a prize of 5,000 to 50,000 US dollars.

So, how do you evaluate Xiao Zeng’s signing this time?

We are not an insider and don’t know what he and the team will plan next.

If, I mean if, this time the signing is just for the two Chinese games this year, just to make the Chinese games more attractive, there is no good review.

After all, the king also signed a contract with Liu Wei back then.

So when I saw Xiaozeng's signing, the first player I thought of was: Yuta Watanabe.

We do not consider national hatred and family feud. Watanabe is definitely a role model for Xiaozeng and his goal that he can work hard in the future.

Watanabe took three years to start with the Exhibit 10 contract, to get a two-way contract, and finally relying on his life-long defensive attitude to get a formal contract in the Raptors and fulfill his NBA dream.

When he said he wanted to play in the NBA, he also suffered a lot of sarcasm? The best response is to speak with results.

Then, last year Watanabe took the initiative to give up the $2.6 million player option in the last year and ended his six-year NBA career.

The reason he gave: I want to enjoy basketball more purely. I suffered too much in my 20s and wanted to make up for my youth in my 30s.

This is the independent choice that Watanabe Yuta received after 11 years of youth. He can choose to play in the NBA or go back to Japan to play.

Back to Xiao Zeng.

3 years ago, he failed to fight for the NBA. Because he was a player trained by Shougang and produced by the Eagles Plan, he had an agreement with the team in advance and had a contract, so he returned to the club and played in the CBA for 3 years.

When you come back in that way, the players must be unwilling and regretful.

From the hindsight, playing in the Development League is definitely not a good choice.

Not only did he not realize his talent, but he ignited a large group of players who had physical talents, but lacked understanding of the game and was too frustrating to grow, so this team would no longer exist.

The players who selected NBA players Jaylen Green, Kumingga, Isaiah Todd, Dyson Daniels, Beecham, Hardy, Henderson, Ryannard, Miller, Sissoko, Mojave King...

This is like choosing some good seedlings of the same age from junior high school, opening a short-term training class, giving them all kinds of good resources for him to learn, and then taking the college entrance examination directly is definitely a failed and bad test piece.

We are not saying that we have to optimize the road we have not walked. Flowers must be in full bloom along the way, but if Xiao Zeng went to the NCAA at that time, he would have been more mature physically, psychologically and technically.

It is not easy for a 19-year-old Chinese player to go through so many things in a foreign country and bear such great pressure.

But at that time, he had no choice.

Or, the right to choose is not necessarily in his own hands.

So let the past go.

If, he has the chance to rush again.

We don’t say too high-spiritedly. Zeng Fanbo wants to explain his unfinished dream this time.

Success or failure, you have to try again.

22 years old, after three years of experience in the domestic league, he has made obvious changes from physical to mental and technical skills, and he has prepared more fully.

But we don't know what the deadline he set for himself to pursue his dream?

Can he fight for another 3 years in the United States?

From a realistic perspective, although the Nets still have a position, Xiao Zeng wanted to get a two-way contract or a formal contract this year with his personal performance. It was quite difficult. He needed to perform well in the preseason.

Unless...The Nets sign Zeng Fanbo like they did for Cui Yongxi, and it depends on what Boss Cai means. The Nets are rebuilding the team, and we cannot rule out this possibility. (At present, there are only 11 guarantee contracts in the Nets, and there is still 1 place in the two-way contract.)

But in the final analysis, what is Zeng Fanbo’s plan? Can he accept going to the Development League for two years?

Going to the Development Alliance means giving up a lot. In reality, the money is less than that of the CBA.

There is no need to "kidnapper" the athlete, it depends on his choice.

So, Exhibit 10 is a starting point.

22-year-old Zeng Fanbo set out again.

is different from 3 years ago. This time, he is already familiar with it.
