Liu Wei leaves Shanghai Sharks, to agree to terms with Xinjang FT

Shanghai basketball lives an important day, because veteran point-guard Liu Wei has decided after ten years not to extend the contract with the team and to take a new path for his career.

Wei did NBA traning camp in 2004 with Sacramento Kings, but despite this step he had always played only with Shanghai Sharks in his career.

Sohu.com reported that the player has a verbal agreement with Xinjiang Flying Tigers. The CBA 2013-2014 runner up wants to add quality in the roster to try to win the title next year.

Last season Wei averaged 14.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.6 assist per game.
