Sharks sign duo, extend Tseng’s stay
Print Edition
The Shanghai Sharks began their preparation for the new Chinese Basketball Association season by announcing two new signings, as well as a contract extension with Taiwan power forward Tseng Win-ting.
The new signings are former Zhejiang Golden Bulls captain Ju Peng and Taiwan point guard Lee Hsueh-lin. Both attended the Sharks’ first open summer training this week at the Shanghai Sports Institute.
The 31-year-old Lee played for the Beijing Ducks in the 2011-12 season, helping the team to its first ever CBA championship.
“Lee’s rich experience is what Shanghai has been lacking,” said Sharks manager Liu Peng. “He has strong individual ability, who can also lead the team’s defense line and help control the match better.”
Being away from competition for a year, Lee was looking forward to a quick involvement with his new club. The Taiwanese will train with the team for the next three months before the new season which usually kicks off at the beginning of November. Lee also revealed that coach Liu had given him the task of helping raise the pace of the team’s play.
Lee’s fellow Taiwanese Tseng, who has played for the Sharks for four years, also extended his contract this week. Tseng averaged 8.8 points and 6.3 rebounds in the 2014-15 season.
The Sharks are planning a 10-day overseas training trip to Europe in early September, while the team’s foreign player quotas are yet to be filled.
The Shanghai team finished 12th out of 20 in last year’s CBA league, which was won by the Guangdong Southern Tigers.
