After watching the first summer league game against the Clippers, Choi Yong-hee only scored 1 point through free throws, and many fans began to sneer there.
Words like "embarrassing" can run out without even thinking about it.
I don't know how many fans still remember the data of Yao Ming's first NBA game of the year.
It was on October 31, 2002, against the Pacers, who played 11 minutes in the game, shot 0-of-1 overall, didn't score, and grabbed only 2 rebounds.
You must know that Yao Ming at that time was the undisputed first person in the Asian men's basketball team, and he was also the champion of the draft that year.
Whether it is strength or fame, it is much more bullish than the current Cui Yongxi.
However, when I went to a strange environment and an unfamiliar league, I still didn't get off to a good start.
No way, no matter how good your skills are, no matter how experienced you are.
When it really comes to the moment when it needs to be shown, it is impossible to shine as expected.
Therefore, it is really not easy for Choi Yong-hee to have such a start, to be able to play, and to be able to score 1 point through free throws.
In the future, as long as he is given time and opportunities, he will definitely get better and better.
Sure enough, by the time the second game came to the Wizards, the whole state was much better.
The two times he received passes from his teammates, it was almost 24 seconds before the offense arrived.
I saw that Choi Yong-hee did not hesitate on the outside first, and then he took a big step back after dodging the opposing defender.
A 3-point shot, a long-range 2-point shot, all hit.
He scored his first athletic goal in the NBA and a personal record of five points.
This time, he used his own actions to respond very well to those fans who were not optimistic about him after the first game.
For these fans, in fact, they are the biggest shackles that really hinder the progress of the Chinese men's basketball team.
Because in a way, they are not fans at all, at most they are "pseudo-fans".
Why?
Because, they even slander an inspirational existence like Choi Yong-hee, and there is really no need to pay attention to the sport of basketball anymore.
In the past, all of our players who went to the NBA, such as Wang Zhizhi, were personally "invited" by the general manager and head coach of the Mavericks back then, hoping to join them.
and Yao Ming next, not to mention, the NBA scouts and reporters at that time couldn't wait to live with us and watch him play.
Next is Yi Jianlian, and the level of attention received by the whole is also quite high.
Even the next Sun Yue and Zhou Qi were also selected by the draft.
To put it bluntly, these players are the ones who were selected by the NBA in a way.
As for Choi Yong-hee, it is completely different, he was not selected by the NBA team.
If there is, it will not be defeated.
It's just that he was personally unwilling to accept such an effect, and then accepted the EX10 contract of the Trail Blazers, actively fought for the opportunity of summer league, and then after this end, he went to find various resources to actively tryout, and finally reluctantly impressed the Nets and gave a two-way contract.
Just imagine how hard and difficult this process must be.
If you were some of our other players, you would have said goodbye a long time ago.
After all, when you return to China, you will immediately be a "hot item", so why bother to ask grandpa to sue grandma here.
The main thing is that it is not necessarily useful to ask.
Because they only look at strength.
Therefore, it is necessary to train hard every day in the next day, so as to improve yourself to the greatest extent, so as to usher in the slightest opportunity.
Let me ask, if we swap it with Cui Yongxi:
Who can do that?
Who can go all out for their dreams like this, regardless of anything?
Isn't this the core value of sports?
If you don't even understand this, those so-called fans really don't need to waste any more time...
