On May 14, it was reported that on May 13, Beijing time, five members of the G League elite training camp were invited to participate in the Chicago joint trial, and Cui Yongxi was not selected and will not be selected for the 2024 NBA draft. In this regard, Li Qun, a former national player and principal of Dongguan Basketball School, interpreted the reason why Cui Yongxi was not selected for the NBA draft through video.
In the G League training camp elite game organized by the G League, Choi Yong-hee played 12 minutes off the bench in the first game, shooting 2 of 4, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, and scored 5 points, 1 rebound, 2 steals and 1 block.
In the second game, Choi Yong-hee came off the bench for 18 minutes, made 2 of 7 shots, scored 4 points, 2 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.
After Cui Yongxi was selected for the G League joint trial list, Dongguan Basketball School Principal Li Qun guided the interpretation of Cui Yongxi's trial in the development league training camp, "The G League joint trial and the NBA joint trial are to provide players with a stage to show to the club, and the club is more to invite players to the club for trial training separately for a more comprehensive observation." Although Choi Yong-hee did not enter the joint trial, we also received invitations from some clubs to see if he met the requirements of the club, and Choi still has a chance later. ”
Talking about Xiao Cui's performance in this competition, Li Qun said, "The whole is very helpful for his growth, first of all, he trains and competes with senior players from all over the world, who are older and younger, and he can recognize some shortcomings, which is very helpful for his follow-up training." Second, you can see his strengths in the tryouts. For example, he showed great ability in defense, in passing, and running the team as a whole, and at the same time, he ranked high in technical tests, physical tests, and shooting tests. ”
Li Qun said, "Among the players in the second and third positions, Choi Yongxi is definitely one of the best in it, but unfortunately, this time 5 of the 45 players were selected, including 4 interior lines and 1 guard, which shows that the NBA training camp is more lacking in the interior line and guard." ”
"I've met a lot of NBA scouts who come here to see training camp, and I've met a few of them, and they're interested in Choi and want him to try out at more clubs. Tomorrow we will go to Orlando for special training, hoping to improve their shortcomings in the training camp through special training. Especially like dribbling techniques, the use of technique in breakouts, weak side hands, including dribbling and holding the ball to break through the center of gravity lowered, including combining layups in dribbling, combined with the technical details of shooting. It's all Xiao Cui and Liao Sanning who need to solve it. Back in Orlando, we practice with our coaches seven to eight times a week to help them improve quickly, to help them physically, technically, and to help them develop later. ”
