On September 7 Beijing time, according to reports from media figures including “Basketball Circle Investigator” and “Solomon’s Servant,” Shandong High-Speed ultimately failed to sign Omot.

According to the reports, Shandong had indeed reached an agreement with Omot on a signing previously, but after media outlets released news of the deal, public opinion was overwhelmingly negative, leading the Shandong management to make the decision to replace Omot under public pressure.
