The NBA has officially announced that Cui Yongxi has signed a two-way contract with the Brooklyn Nets. Following in the footsteps of Sun Yue, the Chinese national basketball team has welcomed another highly talented domestic player, Cui Yongxi, who is not only a source of pride for the Guangzhou Long Lions but also for the entire Chinese men's basketball team. Of course, behind all this, we must thank the Nets' owner, Joe Tsai.
While it is undeniable that Joe Tsai has provided significant assistance, Cui Yongxi has also shown great determination and hard work, ultimately becoming a top-level player. This is a mutual choice. It is worth noting that Cui Yongxi revealed that his salary in the CBA was in the millions, and it is also in the millions in the NBA. Choosing the higher stage of the NBA is undoubtedly better. We wish Cui Yongxi all the best in his future career, as he is indeed the hope of the Chinese men's basketball team.
In addition to Cui Yongxi, three other guards have also made their mark on the Chinese national team: Hu Mingxuan, Liao Sanning, and Wang Lanqin. These three players have distinct characteristics, and they all played a significant role in the victory over Juventus. They have all made great contributions.
Hu Mingxuan is the final three-point shooter, and finally, someone on the Chinese team dares to take the last shot and can make it to complete the game-winning shot. Isn't this just like the effect of the Chinese team's buzzer-beater against Slovenia back then? Hu Mingxuan truly deserves to be called a top guard for the Chinese team, with a promising future ahead of him.
Wang Lanqin's scoring layup in the final moments also played a significant role, especially in helping the Chinese team build momentum. Wang Lanqin is also very suitable for playing the finishing role. Liao Sanning has made great progress, particularly in the past year, with a noticeable improvement in his individual dribbling ability.
Finally, regarding the Chinese team's centers, Yu Jiaho and Yang Hanshen, have you noticed that Yang Hanshen's inside game has improved by leaps and bounds? At the very least, Yang Hanshen is now more willing to engage in physical play and adept at confronting opponents, with a strong overall skill set.
Yu Jiaho, after facing the challenge from Juventus' inside players, responded in kind with goals, proving himself to be a real man. The future of the Chinese team's centers is also looking very stable.
