The world of professional basketball is like a sparkling galaxy, and the second stage of the new CBA season continues to stir up enthusiasm among thousands of fans. In this fiercely competitive and tightly contested situation, a shocking message exploded like a heavy bomb in the basketball circle. The main forward of the Chinese men's basketball team, Cui Yongxi, was cut by the NBA Brooklyn Nets, and unfortunately, injuries also befell this promising star, adding insult to injury.
Cui Yongxi is a well-known forward in the domestic basketball scene, with excellent physical qualities. His tall and strong physique makes him naturally suited for basketball. His legs are like powerful springs, capable of breaking through the earth's gravity and easily reaching high places; his arms are strong, acting as shields when grabbing rebounds and blocking shots. His outstanding athletic ability allows him to be as agile as a leopard on the court, which has helped him establish himself in the Chinese men's basketball forward line. Signing a two-way contract with the Nets had opened the door to a higher-level league, but the "beast" of injury mercilessly cut off his NBA dream path.
When the injury struck without warning, Cui Yongxi was fighting hard on the court. It was a high-intensity match, and he, as usual, kept running, cutting decisively, and jumping vigorously. But suddenly, severe pain came from his leg, as if a sharp awl stabbed deep into the muscle, causing him to lose balance and fall heavily to the ground. The team doctor rushed over, and the atmosphere at the scene stiffened, with the audience's hearts gripped. The subsequent examination results greatly disappointed him, as the severity of the injury was unexpected, making it impossible for him to return to the court in the short term. It seemed that the door to the NBA was slowly closing, leaving a big question mark about whether he could ever reopen it. As a result, this "sole seedling" of the Chinese men's basketball team in the NBA withered, leaving many fans full of regret and speculating that this tough forward would most likely return to the CBA court.
The management of various CBA teams were emotionally stirred by this change, as the opportunity to strengthen the local front line had arrived. Guangzhou team has undergone significant changes in its lineup over the past year, with key players such as Li Yanzhe and Jia Mingru leaving the team, gradually dismantling the core lineup built by Guo Shiqiang. The new coach is promoting a new framework with Guo Ailun and others as the main force, which is still in the process of coordination. At this moment, Guangzhou team seems to be a reorganized ship, with stability yet to be tested. Whether Cui Yongxi can adapt to the new system upon his return is questionable, and he, who has just recovered from an injury, needs the team to reasonably arrange his playing time and take good care of him to recover his condition.
Among the same city, Guangdong men's basketball team, under such circumstances, has entered the heated discussion of the fans, and is seen as a very suitable choice for Cui Yongxi's next home. In recent years, Guangdong team has encountered difficulties in talent delivery in the No. 3 position forward, as if the originally fertile land has become barren, making it difficult to cultivate outstanding talents in the wing. During the game, the coach can often be seen standing on the sidelines, with a worried expression due to the use of people in the forward position. The team's Hu Mingxuan and Xu Jie, as key ball-handlers of the Chinese men's basketball team, have very skilled techniques and high basketball IQ, able to cleverly link the team's offense on the court. Moreover, with the flexible positioning of foreign aid to pull apart the defense, and Du Runwang occasionally providing firepower support, a wider tactical "blank area" around the No. 3 position seems to have been opened up, providing sufficient space for the forward players to perform. For Cui Yongxi, who has just recovered from an injury, this place is like a tailor-made "recovery land." Here, it can prevent excessive wear and tear on his physical functions while giving him a core tactical position as a forward, allowing him to exert his abilities without worry.
Looking back on the road Guangdong team has traveled this season, they have just experienced a tough battle with Shanghai men's basketball team and tasted defeat. Throughout the game, the weakness of the forward line was evident, with the opponent's forward players repeatedly scoring by attacking the basket, leaving Guangdong's defense vulnerable. After the game, fans' complaints continued, with the forward line urgently needing reinforcement. Just at this moment, news came that Cui Yongxi had been cut, which was like a glimmer of light in the darkness. If Cui Yongxi really joins Guangdong team and wears that uniform, it would be equivalent to gaining another powerful trump card for Coach Du Feng. Du Feng is a famous coach who has experienced many ups and downs in the CBA arena. Although the No. 3 position did not perform well in the previous few seasons, he relied on his superb coaching skills to keep the team firmly established in the league, maintaining the style of a strong team. If the deficiency in the forward line can be made up, this traditional powerhouse would be like a well-repaired ship, powering up and returning to the forefront of the championship contention, which is not an unattainable goal.
