In this year’s NBA preseason, the Brooklyn Nets signed Zeng Fanbo and went to Macau, China with the Phoenix Suns to participate in the NBA China Game.

However, Zeng Fanbo only played one game during this period, playing for 10 minutes. He did not take any action in sports games and did not have any ball rights. After the game, the Nets quickly laid off Zeng Fanbo. This incident aroused heated discussion and caused many fans to be dissatisfied with the Nets.

However, life will continue. Zeng Fanbo chose to go to Australia to receive further rehabilitation treatment. He has been in Australia for a long time. Zeng Fanbo's goal is still to challenge a higher-level league, so there is a high probability that he will not choose to return to the Beijing Men's Basketball Team to play in the CBA League in the new season.

In this case, Zeng Fanbo still needs to determine the team for the new season as soon as possible. There are three options in front of him, namely playing in the Australian NBL league, going to the United States to play in the NCAA league for college students, or returning to China to play in the CBA league. According to reports, Zeng Fanbo has received invitations from 5 NBL teams and he is analyzing the situation in order to make a choice.

In addition, the Chinese men's basketball team needs to start a new round of men's basketball world preliminaries on November 28. Their first opponent is the South Korean men's basketball team, and they will compete with this opponent in Beijing on November 28. Zeng Fanbo has already communicated with the national team coach Guo Shiqiang and is expected to return to China to represent the national team.

But then, Zeng Fanbo actually didn’t have much intention to return to the CBA. He still wanted to play in overseas leagues. Over the years, Zeng Fanbo has tried to challenge the NBA many times, but the results have been mediocre. If he can play in the Australian NBL league this time, it would actually be a good choice. In any case, I still wish Zeng Fanbo well and hope that he can fulfill his wish.
