The 202 NBA second-round draft, which attracted more attention than the first round, has come to an end.

For Chinese fans, the focus is undoubtedly on two players: Choi Yong-hee and Bronny.

Let's just put it in a tweet and talk about it.

Xiao Cui was defeated.

The defeat objectively reflects the disparity in strength, which is not surprising.

But just now, Choi Yong-hee signed an Exhibit10 contract with the Trail Blazers, which will play in the team's summer league and then participate in preseason training camp.

If Choi Young-hee satisfies the Trail Blazers in the summer league and team training camp, he has a chance to switch to a two-way contract and continue to play for the Trail Blazers before the start of the regular season.

As for the difficulty, you can imagine it, but it's over!

The vast majority of rational Chinese fans hope that these young players will go out, and they do not expect to be selected and play in the NBA.

If I had to sum it up in one sentence, it would be the frustration of fans with their league's ability to develop talent.

What I'm afraid of is not that I lost the election, but that I am afraid of hiding in the greenhouse and lying flat.

We also know how difficult it is for a yellow face to occupy a place in the NBA as a stage at the highest level.

Historically, Chinese players who have been drafted by the NBA have often been insiders.

To put it more bluntly, only discussing the ability of players, can the current Choi Yong-hee be compared to Niven Hart? Is it comparable to the veteran Sonny Weems in the same position?

Since you can't compare, there is no reason for NBA teams to choose you directly.

Don't advocate the so-called Chinese market, our players are selected for the NBA, must first be your ability to achieve, if even stable playing time can not be guaranteed, then what is the point of the Chinese market?

Therefore, Xiao Cui chose to follow the path of Yuta Watanabe, and he needed everyone's support even more.

After all, there is a risk of failure with that choice.

There is no point in talking about dreams, if he can take this path, it is admirable.

Then, talk about another "epic" draft.

Speaking of brownie, in the early hours of this morning, Brownie won the first prize in the district-wide essay competition, and the essay title was: "My James Father".

The Lakers selected Bronny with the No. 55 pick!

James and Bronny become the first father-son duo in history to play in the NBA at the same time! And also on the same team.

At the same time, it is also the fifth father and son pair of the four major professional sports leagues in the United States (NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL) to play for the same team.

Brownie was selected, and it was no surprise that he was selected!

After all, with the ability of James and the team behind him, Bronny would not have been able to run without some kind of commitment, so why bother to be unhappy.

In this regard, Brother Di would like to express two points.

First, it's a win-win option, so why not?

For Bronny himself, he fulfilled his dream of the NBA and was on the same team as his old father.

For James, his other identity is that of a father, no matter how much he has achieved in basketball and how much money he makes, but the "hearts of parents in the world" are similar.

I have the ability to help my children solve employment problems, isn't it all human nature, this is the case in all walks of life, there is no need for everyone to be black and black.

For the Lakers, you are a team that didn't even understand the 17th pick in the first round last year, and who to pick with the 55th pick is not to choose...

chose Brownie, on the one hand, for favors, but in fact, it is also for his own good.

Not only did he gain more spotlight and higher ticket prices, but more importantly, James' retirement tour was most likely carried out in a Lakers jersey.

For the NBA, there is one more topic that can be discussed, business leagues, and everyone who understands it understands.

So, there's no need to scold the Lakers.

I'll say in exaggeration: If the Hawks get James in and the promise of retiring on tour, Bronny can be the champion, and whatever you want, Risa Shee, he's not Wembanyama.

The second point, Brownie, as the second generation of superstars, has actually come to this point, and it's okay.

In his freshman season, he averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 assists, and 0.8 steals in 19.3 minutes per game, shooting 36.6% from the field, 26.7% from three-point range, and 67.6% from the free throw line.

If you only open up the selection according to your personal ability, the NBA will not be able to win the selection in three rounds.

So, there's no need to say those polite words like "Bronny defends well and has potential."

He can be selected by the Lakers, to put it bluntly, he relies on his father with all his might, and he generously admits it, and he may leave the NBA before James, and his ability is really not up to it.

However, let's not forget that on July 25, 2023, Brownie suddenly collapsed on the court while training at the University of Southern California and suffered a cardiac arrest; On Aug. 27, the James family spoke that the "probable cause" of Bronny James' cardiac arrest was an "anatomically and functionally significant congenital heart defect."

It's good that he can return to the court and have an interest in playing in the NBA, and wouldn't it be nice to go back and inherit the family business.

In terms of personality and behavior, Brownie is also very low-key in the second generation of stars on weekdays, so he was selected, and he teased a few words, there is no need for personal attacks, and he holds on all day long.

Whether it's Brownie or Choi Yong-hee, they have at least one thing in common:

Think ahead.
