The road to success can often be challenging. 19-year-old Cui Yongxi, the powerful Zhou Qi, and the much-talked-about Guo Allen have all experienced ups and downs in their career journeys. But it was these arduous journeys that made them eventually transform into shining stars in the CBA arena.
As a sports editor, I have had the privilege of witnessing their wonderful transformation from the ordinary to the extraordinary. For many young people who love basketball, dreaming of participating in the NBA Development League tryout is undoubtedly a very precious opportunity. But for 19-year-old Choi Yong-hee, this opportunity once slipped away quietly.
We know that the NBA Development League organizes a joint tryout in Chicago every year, which is seen as an important gateway to the NBA. In this year's tryout, only four spots were available for league players. It's a pity that even Choi Yong-hee, who had an outstanding performance in the development league training camp, was not able to get this valuable spot in the end.
As a young man who loves basketball, I can imagine Choi Yong-hee's loss and frustration at that time. The coveted opportunity slipped away from me like this, and I had to watch others take the lead. But as his agent Li Qun said, Choi Yong-hee did not give up, but decided to find another way to find new opportunities.
As a result, we learned that Choi Yong-hee will participate in a separate trial for the team, which will undoubtedly require him to pay additional costs. The individual trial will undoubtedly cost a lot of transportation, room and board expenses, etc., and it is undoubtedly a large expense for a young person who is still in the development stage. But that didn't stop Choi Young-hee's progress, and he was still determined to fight for a chance to stay in the team.
This kind of fighting spirit is undoubtedly admirable. Many people may choose to give up after failure, but Choi Yong-hee chooses to find a new way out in the face of adversity. He did not blame others for this disappointment, but took the initiative to take his due responsibility and go all out to prove his strength.
It is reported that some "local tyrant" teams are full of expectations for him and may lend a hand. In particular, Beijing Shougang, which is under reconstruction, seems to be brewing a blood exchange deal involving Cui Yongxi, which is undoubtedly an opportunity for him.
is different from Cui Yongxi's bitter rain, another CBA teenager Zhou Qi is currently in the same glory. Although his team, the Xinjiang men's basketball team, failed to achieve good results in the playoffs, as the core of the team, Zhou Qi's own performance has attracted much attention.
However, just recently, there seem to be some "contradictions" between Zhou Qi and his old teammate Zhu Fangyu. It turned out that when the two were eating barbecue together, Zhu Fangyu not only recorded a video, but also uploaded Zhou Qi's words in the video to "don't eat junk food" to the Internet. This can't help but give rise to speculation that the relationship between the two has deteriorated.
But it is gratifying that after further understanding, we found that the relationship between Zhou Qi and Zhu Fangyu has not deteriorated. On the contrary, the friendship between the two remains strong. Although Zhu Fangyu "reported" Zhou Qi for eating barbecue, we can also see from the video that the two are still close, and Zhou Qi only jokingly reminded Zhu Fangyu to pay attention to his diet.
As professional players, the two naturally have higher dietary requirements than ordinary people. But that doesn't mean they can't relax once in a while. The key is that they are able to enjoy their food while still being vigilant about their professional ethics. This mode of getting along undoubtedly demonstrates the deep friendship between the two.
What's even more gratifying is that even though the two may become "opposites" in the future in terms of contract negotiations and other aspects, this will not affect their personal relationship. This state of "contradiction in work and harmony in life" is enough to show that the two are true bosom friends.
On the basis of this friendship, Zhou Qi and Zhu Fangyu will surely write a more exciting career together in the future. As the top players in the CBA, they must not only show excellent competitive strength on the court, but also set an example of excellent players with their behavior.
When it comes to CBA rising stars, we can't ignore another player who has attracted much attention - Guo Allen of the Liaoning men's basketball team.
As the "golden boy" of the Liaoning men's basketball team, Guo Allen was once regarded as the future star of the CBA. His outstanding skills and outstanding potential have made countless fans fall in love with him. However, just as he was about to reach his prime, he suffered a serious injury.
Just recently, we saw Allen Guo give an autographed jersey to the birthday of a Liaoning basketball media person. Although this is just a small thing, it can fully reflect his cherishment and care for his fans. What's even more interesting is that when he signed it, he also deliberately wrote the joke "I wish my birthday is unhappy, the longer it gets, the uglier it gets".
I believe that one day in the future, when Guo Allen's injury is completely recovered, he will be able to shine on the field again. And this deep affection with the fans will also become a strong motivation for him to set sail again.
For Zhou Qi and Zhu Fangyu, although they may become "opposites" in the future due to contract and other issues, they still maintain a deep personal friendship. Even on some innocuous trivial things, they will "report each other", but this does not affect the sincere friendship between the two. This state of friendship in the professional competition undoubtedly shows their tenacity.
As for Guo Allen, although he suffered from serious injuries, he did not choose to sink. Instead, he actively looked for another way to maintain his connection with his fans and win their affection through his unique charisma.
All three CBA elites have experienced setbacks on their respective paths, but they have all chosen to face these adversities with courage and perseverance. Giving up in the face of setbacks is undoubtedly an easy choice.
