As we all know, this year is one of the few draft years in the history of the NBA Draft, after the league's crazy scramble for Wembanyama, the most famous in the 2024 draft is only James' eldest son Bronny, so for professional players who want to impact the NBA, this year's draft is definitely the wisest choice.
However, it is such a hopeful draft year, for the Chinese men's basketball team, only Cui Yongxi is determined to run and take practical actions, Rao is Yang Hansen, who was previously predicted by the American media as a first-round pick, and had to take the initiative to give up his candidacy in the face of many factors, which also led to Cui Yongxi, who was not optimistic, but became the last hope of the Chinese men's basketball team.
However, with Choi Yong-hee not receiving an invitation to the NBA joint tryout, we must not admit the reality that none of us can compete in the NBA after Zhou Qi and Ding Yan Yuhang. However, after multiple confirmations from sources, we still need to congratulate Choi Yongxi, although he did not receive an invitation to a joint tryout, he is still eligible to participate in this year's NBA draft.
In other words, as long as Choi Yong-hee participates in the NBA team's individual tryout and performs well to win recognition, he is still very hopeful of being selected by the league team in the second round, after all, in terms of camera physical talent, Choi Yong-hee is completely not inferior to Bronny, if Bronny can be selected by the NBA team, then Choi Yong-hee will naturally be no problem. However, after Cui Yongxi's incident, Jiuqi couldn't help but sigh that once upon a time, Chinese men's basketball players also staged derbies in the NBA league, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, these players won the recognition of the league team through the high pick, and Yao Ming was elected the champion in 2002.
In addition, as early as 1998, the men's basketball legend Ma Jian once got a 10-day short contract offer from the Mavericks (now the Mavericks). However, the CBA league at that time did not let people go, which eventually led to Ma Jian not being able to land on the NBA arena. And not only Ma Jian, Wang Zhizhi was also selected by the Mavericks in 1999, but the Basketball Association was also reluctant to release him, and even exposed the "no return" incident later. It is undeniable that Ma Jian and Wang Zhizhi were both extremely talented super players at that time, but due to the closed management policy of the management of the Basketball Association, they eventually failed to pursue their dreams.
Even if he was as strong as the champion Yao Ming, the Basketball Association was unwilling to let him land in the NBA at that time, and it was Yao Ming who threatened him with retirement, and the Shanghai men's basketball team agreed to release him. However, the Basketball Association also required Yao Ming to participate in the national team when there were no games in the NBA, which also led to the NBA and the national team running at both ends, and Yao Ming's body was eventually unable to support it, and he suffered a serious injury and ended his NBA career early. Speaking of Cui Yongxi, compared to Ma Jian's successful contract with the Mavericks, Cui Yongxi still needs to impress the NBA team through hard tryouts and win the first opportunity in the draft, just like the top players are born at the wrong time, but in the best era, we can't cultivate players like Ma Jian and Wang Zhizhi, and even Zhou Qi has become the last swan song, which is really embarrassing.
