Everyone knows that Xu Xin is a talented new star cultivated by the Guangdong team, with a height of 226cm, flexible steps and soft hand feeling, and is a core level player in the future.
But perhaps everyone does not know that Xu Xin did not belong to the Guangdong team at the beginning, but belonged to their "old enemy" Beijing team, when Xu Xin was 13 years old, he participated in the "Young Eagle Plan" of the Beijing team, became teammates with Zeng Fanbo, Fan Yiming and others, and became the first person in the list of the United States with excellent physical condition and talent, so how did he leave the Beijing team to join the Guangdong team later? Let's talk about it together.
Xu Xin is a native of Beijing, born on December 23, 2003, influenced by his parents from a young age has a great love for basketball, at the age of 13, he was selected by the Beijing team with much higher height and technology than his peers, becoming a member of the "Young Eagle Project".
Outstanding height, flexible footsteps, soft feel, this is the biggest impression left by the young Xu Xin, originally such a child is to be valued by the club, throughout 2017 the Beijing team did spend a lot of effort to cultivate it, and listed him as the first person in the "Eagle Program" to study in the United States.
However, because the Beijing team did not qualify for the CBA playoffs in the 16-17 season, they began to make major adjustments to the structure of the team, the team's head coach Min Lulei was vacated by the team, and the "Eagle Plan" led by him was also affected, so Xu Xin also missed the opportunity to study in the United States, because seeing that his son's basketball road was suddenly interrupted, Xu Xin's parents immediately decided to take their son out of beijing and go to other places to find opportunities.
When a small talent player with such excellent physical conditions appeared in the free market, it was bound to cause the rush of various teams, and Zhu Fangyu, who had just retired as the general manager of the Guangdong team, heard the news and immediately went to Beijing alone to visit Xu Xin's family.
In order to get Xu Xin, Zhu Fangyu gave a lot of conditions, such as an annual salary of one million (circulating on the Internet, this does not know whether it is true or not), let Xu Xin's idol Yi Jianlian personally guide his practice, and the promise to make Xu Xin a professional player and let him serve as the core of the Guangdong team.
After a comprehensive comparison, Xu Xin's parents felt that the conditions given by Zhu Fangyu were the most sincere, so they decided to let Xu Xin sign with the Guangdong team and become their youth players. As a result, Xu Xin's career was connected with the Guangdong team.
After signing with the Guangdong team, Xu Xin also gradually showed his talent, with his outstanding strength, helped the Guangdong youth team win a number of championships. In 2021, at the age of 17, Xu Xin scored 11 points and 4 rebounds in the youth group final of the 14th National Games, helping Guangdong team defeat Zhejiang team 95-75 to win the gold medal, and in August of the same year, he was officially promoted to the first team of Guangdong team and competed in the CBA.
This is the beginning and end of Xu Xin's departure from the Beijing team to join the Guangdong team and gradually become the future core of the Guangdong team, in this process, Beijing's eagerness is the main reason for Xu Xin's departure, and Zhu Fangyu is the key to signing Xu Xin to the Guangdong team.
