The name Ma Jian must be familiar to everyone.
As a famous CBA commentator, Ma Jian can also play.
Every time he commented on the game, Ma Jian was always able to bring new feelings to everyone with very sharp language, which won the love of many fans.
However, recently, Ma Jian's self-exposure surprised many people.
Mavericks once signed a short-term contract with Ma Jian
The content of Ma Jian's self-exposure this time is not about his commentary work.
is a very long memory, which allows us to see how difficult it was for the Chinese men's basketball team back then.
It turned out that in 1998, Ma Jian once got a 10-day contract with the Mavericks.
Ma Jian, who got the short-term contract, was very happy and excited.
After all, the NBA is a very big temptation for any basketball player.
Being able to enter the NBA represents a new start in their careers.
For Ma Jian at that time, being able to have such an opportunity was simply more important than anything else.
So after Ma Jian learned that he could go to the NBA, he was very excited to come to the CBA office.
He wanted to know something about the formalities and some regulations, but what he didn't expect was to get an unexpected answer.
Ma Jian was told that the CBA would not allow him to play in the NBA, although the Mavericks were very interested in signing him, but Ma Jian had no choice but to leave.
It is sad that the Chinese Basketball Association at that time did not realize the importance of professional leagues and professional competitions.
They just think that basketball is just a recreational activity, so they don't think it's anything special.
So when Ma Jian wanted to play in the NBA, the CBA didn't give him much support, but felt that this matter was not important.
It is precisely because of this that although Ma Jian got a short-term contract, he still couldn't play in the NBA as he wished.
There is Ma Jian in the front, and Cui Yongxi in the back
Ma Jian's experience made many people have some criticism of the Chinese Basketball Association back then.
After all, they didn't realize the importance of Chinese basketball at that time, nor did they realize how important the professional league was to the players.
But time is really a magical thing, and after so many years, the Chinese Basketball Association has become more and more enlightened.
Now they realise how important the professional league and the professional game are to the players, and the importance of being a good player.
Therefore, in the current league, no matter what kind of game, as long as it is helpful to the players, the Chinese Basketball Association will give all-round support.
For example, the current Choi Yong-hee is a very clear example.
He did not receive an invitation to a joint tryout, but the Chinese Basketball Association supported him to play in the NBA and did not have any restrictions on him.
Perhaps one day, in the near future, we can see players like Choi Yong-hee winning glory for the Chinese in the NBA.
Who is Choi Young-hee?
I believe many people are not too familiar with the name Choi Yong-hee, after all, he is not the kind of basketball star who is a household name.
However, in recent times, he has become more and more concerned for some special reasons.
Cui Yongxi, a player from Liaoning, is only 23 years old this year.
He's not the top pick in the past, and he hasn't played in many international games, so it's not very easy for him to get into the NBA now.
But despite this, Cui Yongxi still worked hard for his dream and never gave up any opportunity.
Whether it is in the CBA games or in some international competitions, he can show very good basketball skills, and he has been recognized by many people.
In his current opinion, being able to play in the NBA is a very big dream of his own.
So when he learned that he had the opportunity to go to the NBA Draft, he was very excited and confident in himself.
No matter what difficulties and obstacles he will encounter in front of him, he will go on firmly and fight for his dream.
In the coming days, Choi Young-hee will participate in individual tryouts for some teams, and he hopes that he can seize such an opportunity and impress everyone.
If he can really be favored by an NBA team and selected, it will definitely be a very big encouragement and affirmation for him.
I also hope that in the future competition, no matter what kind of difficulties, he can stick to his dream and keep going.
