The present study examines dragging of the rotation of the neutron stars in wide massive X-ray binaries with quasi-spherical accretion by magnetic braking due to the stellar wind created by Compton X-ray heating. The proposed mechanism looks very attractive for systems with disk accretion because the spatial separation of infalling and outflowing matter is much easier during disk accretion than during a quasi-spherical one. It is shown that drag force from the shock wave generated by a rotating star with a nonsymmetrical magnetosphere during stellar wind accretion determines long equilibrium periods of 100 to 10,000 seconds of neutron-star X-ray pulsars in massive wide binaries.
