In the early morning of June 28, Beijing time, the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft officially ended, as we all know, this year's NBA Draft was changed to a 2-day model, the first day is to select the first round of picks, and the second day is the second round of picks.
In the first round of the first round of the draft, there have been many unexpected results, such as the Pistons using the No. 5 pick to select the Ignite forward Ron Holland, and the Lakers also missed an excellent three-point pick-Dalton Knecht in the first round of the draft.
And the second round of the draft can be said to be a lot of attention, many fans are waiting for the results, after all, the name of James' eldest son Bronny was not heard in the first round of the draft, and the second round of the draft is also his last chance, so bad fans are curious about whether Bronny will be selected.
If Bronny is selected, then it is possible to complete the father-son game with James in the new season, which is still very much expected by many fans, and there is another player who makes fans pay great attention, that is, Cui Yongxi from China.
Cui Yongxi was born in 2003, and is indeed a freshman for the NBA, in the face of such a fierce war in the NBA, most people in the outside world are not very optimistic about this young CBA player, and many fans said: "Just think this is to go out to see the world, and it is already very good to go out." ”
In the early hours of this morning, the results of the second round of the draft were also released, and the Los Angeles Lakers, who held the 55th pick, chose LeBron James's son Bronny, who was not too young in this draft, because there were many players born in 2005 in the first round.

In the face of the news of Bronny's selection, many fans feel that it is gratifying, after all, it will also make Bronny and James the first father and son stars in history, in addition, Bronny was diagnosed with heart problems in 2023, which may be the reason why other teams abandoned him.
It is not easy for a player who has undergone heart surgery to return to the game, and now he can be selected by the NBA team, which is also very incredible, so many netizens began to complain on the Internet: "Sure enough, the United States also has to understand the world, and in the end it has to go through the back door." ”
Many people believe that the Lakers used this relatively low second-round pick to choose Bronny, and behind this move is also to reach a contract extension agreement with James, which shows that this choice can benefit both parties and achieve a win-win situation.
But our Chinese teenager Cui Yongxi was not so lucky, with all the lists released, the name of the Chinese teenager Cui Yongxi was never called, and it is clear that the Chinese player Cui Yongxi was not selected by the NBA in the end.

Choi Yong-hee's unfortunate defeat in the NBA this time is also expected, but it is really very difficult for us, you must know that only six Chinese players have entered the NBA so far, so Choi Yong-hee must also want to be one of them.
As a very young and talented player in the CBA, Cui Yongxi's impact on the NBA is very unpopular with the outside world, but he still chooses to chase his dreams and doesn't care about the eyes of the people around him.
This is very worthy of praise, after all, it is indeed not easy for the mainland men's basketball team to enter the NBA, because of the difference in body structure and genes, we are not as explosive as blacks, and we are not as tall and strong as whites, so it is really difficult for our men's basketball team to enter the NBA.
Since Zhou Qi, no player in the Chinese men's basketball team has ever appeared on the NBA stage, and many players have tried to enter the NBA in recent years, but in the end they all failed.
In 2022, Cui Yongxi was selected for the Chinese men's national basketball team, and the NBA is also the dream of basketball players all over the world, so since then, the NBA has planted a seed in Cui Yongxi's heart, and he told himself that he must be on the NBA court.

Before the start of the NBA draft, Choi Yong-hee tried out for teams such as the Trail Blazers, Grizzlies, Jazz, Pacers, Knicks, and Nets.
And the results of the team trial are also very satisfactory, but Cui Yongxi is also full of confidence in himself, many Chinese fans feel that Cui Yongxi has great hope this time, but unfortunately, none of these teams that Cui Yongxi tried out chose Cui Yongxi, they all ended up making a deal or choosing someone else.
Although he did not get a good result in the end, this did not shake Choi's determination to continue to make an impact on the NBA, and Choi Yongxi said that he would continue to train in the United States and would strive for the opportunity to win the NBA's summer league.

Choi Yong-hee also said in the interview that some teams have expressed interest in this regard, and the two sides are still in the process of negotiation, but it is inconvenient to disclose which team is now, which shows that Choi Yong-hee still has a great chance of winning the summer league.
Although Choi Yong-hee was not successfully selected for the NBA this time, he had a tryout with so many teams, which was undoubtedly a valuable experience for him, and in the process of this trial, Choi Yong-hee's strength also made a qualitative leap.
And this time to participate in the NBA draft, for Cui Yongxi, his value and fame have been greatly improved, and in general, this trip is not a loss.
During the trial period, Cui Yongxi was full of confidence in himself, but he didn't expect the final result to make Cui Yongxi and domestic basketball recognize the reality, and I believe that Cui Yongxi must have seen the gap between himself and others while improving in the special training stage, which is very rewarding for him.
We believe that everyone's efforts and rewards are proportional, as long as he works hard enough, then he will definitely get closer and closer to his dream, and finally hope that Cui Yongxi will continue to make progress on the road in the future and bring us more surprises!
