The internal support caused dissatisfaction among other players because the salary was too high, which also affected the unity of the team.
Recently, Wang Fei's no longer coaching the Shanxi men's basketball team has made a lot of noise, but according to people familiar with the matter, Wang Fei is still in talks with the Shanxi side and has not yet terminated the contract.
It is reported that the reason why Wang Fei may break up with the Shanxi men's basketball team is mainly because the two sides have a contradiction in the future construction of the team, because the Shanxi men's basketball team decided not to spend a lot of money to introduce players in the future, after all, Wei Meng, Liu Chunqing, etc. found last year did not play a too good level, and will be transferred from the youth team to some potential stocks, focusing on cultivating new talents.
Last summer, the Shanxi men's basketball team introduced a number of internal supporters, which has left the club somewhat overwhelmed financially, in addition, these internal supports have caused dissatisfaction among other players because of their high salaries, which has also affected the unity of the team.
In addition, it is said that Wang Fei's annual salary has reached 9 million, which does not include bonuses, which is unique in the entire CBA, however, although Wang Fei led the Shanxi men's basketball team into the playoffs this season, it was only a round trip and did not make much breakthrough.
More critically, two months later, the State Games Group (formerly the State Investment Group) transferred the SDIC Sports Group, which had previously managed the club, to the Huajian Group, and transferred the operation rights of the club to the Huajian Group.
It is precisely because of the above reasons that there is a disagreement between Wang Fei and the club, but the two sides are still negotiating, Wang Fei has not left office as some media people say, if the two sides can reach an agreement through consultation, then Wang Fei will continue to coach the Shanxi men's basketball team.
Wang Fei began to coach the Shanxi men's basketball team in 2018, did not play in the playoffs last season, this season's Shanxi men's basketball team once reached the top four, but in the rematch without Franklin, their record gradually declined, ranking 11th in the playoffs with 24 wins and 22 losses, but was eliminated by the Zhejiang men's basketball team in the 12-8 game.
