On September 22, after 20-year-old Yang Hansen landed in the NBA to join the Trail Blazers, another national player of the Chinese men's basketball team, Zeng Fanbo, will once again compete in the NBA. Now, according to Nets Daily, Zeng Fanbo will sign an Exhibit 10 contract on September 23, and Zeng Fanbo is expected to hit the Nets' last two-way contract quota.

As early as August this year, Zeng Fanbo was reported to be signing with the Nets, but the two sides have not officially completed the signing. Zeng Fanbo has already gone to the United States to meet with the Nets and has trained with the team. Zeng Fanbo will play in two NBA Chinese games on October 10 and 12. The Nets and the Suns will play two games in Macau, China. Zeng Fanbo, as a Chinese player, will naturally attract the attention of Chinese fans.

Now, according to the content of Nets media NetsDaily responding to netizens on social media: "As far as I know, Zeng Fanbo will sign the contract on Tuesday on September 23 (Previously, NetsDaily reported that Zeng Fanbo will sign an Exhibit 10 contract, not a two-way contract), and Grant Nelson's whereabouts will be decided in the future."

Currently, two two-way contract quotas for the Nets have been used up, namely Etienne and Liddle, signed a two-way contract. The ownership of the last two-way contract quota is still suspense, and Zeng Fanbo is a strong contender.

As the former NBA undraft, after being tempered by the CBA league, the 22-year-old Zeng Fanbo has made considerable progress and has grown into the main forward player of the Chinese men's basketball team. Last season, Zeng Fanbo played 37 regular season games for the Beijing Men's Basketball Team, and averaged 14.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.5 blocks per game. His shooting percentage was 52.6%, his three-point shooting percentage was 40.5%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 79.8%, allowing him to successfully win the Fastest Progressive Player Award and the Best Team of the Local Player.

Whether Zeng Fanbo can use his performance to win the trust of the Nets coaching staff and management, and strive to get the team's last two-way contract quota, can only wait and see.
