About the debut of the playoffs.
Allen Guo scored 9 points in 2013, and he has played for 3 seasons by then.
Sun Minghui also scored only 9 points in 2016.
Wu Qian didn't even score a point in 2013.
So, when Choi Yong-hee scored 20 points in the first playoff game of his rookie season, even if he couldn't prove what the future holds, or even who he could surpass, his performance in this game alone was amazing enough! Even, for the best rookie who has just been awarded, Cui Yongxu can be said to live up to his name.
It was surprising that he carried over his good form from the third phase of the regular season to the Bayonet playoffs, and he also gave a very good smash during the game.
That ball, obviously a layup can be solved, but he wants to show his talent to the fans. Even the fans of the Shandong home stadium were shocked by this sudden violent buckle - how can a local player make such a wonderful move in real combat, and he is still a rookie!
However, after the dunk, he just stuck out his tongue proudly but implicitly, as if to say "the little brother is ugly", and then his expression quickly returned to calm, and then he plunged into a tense battle, as if all this had not happened at all, as if it had just been an ordinary goal.
This is the first-year Choi Yonghee: under the talent that can be seen with closed eyes, the otherworldly performance and the fearless confidence, but the soul is low-key and introverted and unfazed.
For such a young man, it's really hard not to like it.
Regarding these 20 points, in addition to the violent dunk, other scoring methods are equally exciting, which can be summed up as: comprehensive, reasonable and solid.
15 shots, 7 shots, 46.7% shooting, avoiding free throw interference, true shooting rate as high as 90% - surpassing 90% of small forwards this season, including 2 of 7 3-pointers, 3-of-5 from mid-range, 2-of-3 from the basket, 4 from the free-throw line, except for 3-pointers, other areas are quite efficient, and 3-pointers are not outrageously bad, 1 more shot, the shooting rate can reach about 42%.
2 quarters, 8 minutes and 20 seconds.
After Cui Yongxi received a pass from Chen Yingjun, he made a fake shot with the ball in both hands, and after shaking Qiao Wenhan, he broke through a one-step emergency stop jumper and hit the middle distance. Breaking through to the right, stopping with his left foot, following with his right foot, and then jumping – his footwork technique is a textbook.
2 quarters, 7 minutes and 49 seconds.
The Shandong men's basketball team was old and could not be defended, Cui Yongxi actually gave up and Chen Yingjun quickly went 2-on-1, and instead chose to shoot confidently outside the 3-point line, bent the bow and shot arrows, crossed Yang at 100 steps, and the ball crossed the beautiful arc and accurately fell into the net.
The strong one is dancing on the tip of the knife, and there may be failure, but once it becomes a functional attack, the impact will benefit immensely. Even if Choi Yonghee's chase 3 points did not score, he should be praised for his bravery, not to mention that he threw in.
3 quarters in 2 rounds.
Cui Yongxi hit Chen Peidong on his back, after two sideways impacts and feints, he chose to turn around and back to jump shot, when Cui Yongxi jumped up and hit the shot, Chen Peidong's hands will reach his waist, it is clear that Cui Yongxi is almost practicing shooting training, this is the height advantage, Cui Yongxi plays the No. 2 position, almost all misaligned.
The last 15 seconds of the 3rd quarter.
Guangzhou Xiaowai Mason missed the throwing board, and after Cui Yongxi slipped in from the bottom corner, he jumped high in the crowd to get the front board, and hit the basket without waiting for the landing. At that time, the three strikers of Shandong were still opening their mouths and stretching out their hands, as if waiting for feeding.
4 quarters 5 minutes 08.
After Cui Yongxi received the ball, he hit a 3-point shot against Shandong Xiaowai Landsberg.
4 quarters in 3 rounds.
After Choi Yonghee catches the ball around the cover hand, he bursts into the box from the bottom corner, and then, with three steps and two steps, jumps high to lick the basket easily.
Emergency stop mid-range, three-point catch-and-shoot, chasing 3-pointer, back-to-back jumper, rushing to the board secondary attack and ball breakthrough, generally speaking, local players can have two or three of these technical moves is already very good, but in this game alone, Cui Yongxi almost used eighteen martial arts, and the technical movements are more skilled and efficient.
Personal skills for a player, definitely not the richer the better, more importantly, while having these skills, can choose reasonably in actual combat, play small people have a basket directly jump shot, in the face of big men, can break through is not necessary to shoot, encounter a reasonable score of the bag, the basket is crowded, it is best to stop the jump shot... Obviously, many of Choi's choices were correct.
Moreover, even if his technique is so comprehensive, he rarely insists on attacking when he is obviously passive, and he will be the first to hand over the ball if the opportunity is not suitable.
This is why many people are optimistic about Choi Yonghee, he not only has a pair of big hands, but also valuable is that in addition to his physical talent, his ball intelligence is also outstanding - he does not rely on crazy shots to achieve good data, nor does he use gorgeous European and American singles to win people's attention.
Of course, Cui Yongxi cannot be perfect, his figure is still too thin, his shooting is still not stable enough, and it is unknown whether he will use these technical moves when encountering tougher defenses, after all, Shandong is not a defensive team.
And this is only Choi Yongxi's debut season, there is still a long way to go in the future, he has won the All-Star MVP and the rookie MVP, after becoming famous at a young age, Choi Yongxi will face star-level defensive treatment, and no one will treat him as a fledgling yellow-mouthed child.
So, the challenges of the future will increase day by day, and under the special care of the veterans, he will disappear? Or is it reborn from the ashes and become a new generation of stars? No one knows.
At present, Guangzhou Dragons and Lions will usher in a game that determines success or failure at home after the first victory of the playoffs, and the series victory means that Guangzhou Dragons and Lions will make history and reach the quarterfinals of the playoffs for the first time.
Therefore, despite letting go and doing it, Cui Yongxi has a great environment to continue to show his talent in the playoffs, and the Guangzhou Dragons and Lions need Cui Yongxi's birth, and the CBA and even the Chinese men's basketball team also need a young genius like Cui Yongxi to save.
