Cui Yongxi, a name that once briefly and brilliantly shone on the NBA court, has had his dreamlike experience with the Brooklyn Nets cut short, leaving many untold stories and regrets. Signing a two-way contract and becoming an NBA player was a highlight of Cui Yongxi's career. Who would have thought that this young man, who seemed destined for greatness, would reach a crossroads in his career so early under the shadow of injury? Now, whether he can return to the familiar court and continue to write his basketball dreams has become a hot topic among many fans. If he really returns to the CBA, the Guangdong team seems to be his ideal destination. Let's go back to Cui Yongxi's time in the NBA. In 2019, he signed a two-way contract with the Nets and finally stood on the highest stage of world basketball. As a forward with considerable talent, Cui Yongxi's physical fitness, breakthrough ability, and finishing skills at the basket were impressive. Everyone felt that Cui Yongxi could become a player with a place in the NBA in the future. Unfortunately, injuries became a heavy shackle in his career. Time and again, the pain prevented him from fully showcasing his abilities in the fierce NBA arena, and eventually, the Nets announced his release. For Cui Yongxi, this was undoubtedly a huge blow, but it was also this blow that might have created an opportunity for him to return to the CBA. The answer may be affirmative. Although injuries prevented him from continuing in the NBA, there is no…

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…

Translation of the article content into English: The multifaceted analysis behind the gap between Chinese and foreign athletes Cui Yongxi once expressed his bewilderment, saying, "I'm puzzled as well. The difference in physical fitness between us and foreigners is quite peculiar. At the age of 17, we might still be on par with them, but by the time we reach 20, they seem to suddenly create a huge gap." This phenomenon is like a shroud of mist clouding our minds. Is it because foreigners train harder that this gap exists? I believe not. In sports, the role of talent cannot be underestimated. Take black people as an example; their body structure seems naturally suited for certain sports. For instance, in terms of explosive power, black people have a significant advantage over yellow-skinned individuals, and their overall athletic ability is more outstanding. It's as if they were given a stronger spring mechanism in a sprint race, seizing the lead in that split second of explosive power. Let's take the currently popular sports of basketball and football as examples. On the basketball court or the green fields of football, the advantages of black people are obvious. Their endurance and explosive power act like dual engines, propelling them to continuously create brilliance in competitions. Taking the NBA, the pinnacle stage of basketball, as an example, the players who put up impressive statistics see a large proportion of black figures. It's as if they possess a special attribute that shines under the halo of data. During the teenage years of our players, the gap…

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…

"Coach, I can still play, give me a chance!" In the early hours of the morning at the Los Angeles gymnasium, Cui Yongxi's eyes were filled with tears as he confided his NBA dreams to Guo Shiqiang. This scene marked the beginning of a new chapter for the Chinese men's basketball team. On his chilly trip to the United States, Guo Shiqiang carried a heavy list in his heart. As the newly appointed head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, he was well aware of the weight of his responsibilities. On the courts of the NBA Development League, young Chinese players were chasing their own basketball dreams. Cui Yongxi experienced the ups and downs of the Nets' development league, Zhao Weilun fought hard in the G League, and the young Chinese-American guard Zhu Zheng displayed his astonishing talent. Behind each story, there was a tale of sweat and perseverance. The gymnasium was quiet under the night sky, with only the sound of basketballs hitting the floor echoing through the silence. Guo Shiqiang stood on the sidelines, watching intently as Cui Yongxi trained alone on the court. This former head coach who had once made waves in the CBA was now planning a new blueprint for the future of Chinese men's basketball. During his time in the United States, Guo Shiqiang visited multiple cities and met with several overseas players, including Cui Yongxi and Zhao Weilun. Each conversation and observation gave him a clearer understanding of the future of Chinese basketball. Especially the young Zhu Zheng, this Chinese-American guard who…

"Another Chinese player's name has appeared on the NBA layoff list. Can he get back up?" Cui Yongxi, a young player with high hopes, had to say goodbye to the season early due to a ligament injury at the beginning of the season, and his team, the Brooklyn Nets, announced the layoff of this promising Chinese star. This series of blows pushed the 20-year-old to a crossroads in life. Ligament repair? Possibility of returning to the NBA? Or return to the domestic league and start over? The answers to these questions are destined not to be easy, but every step of Cui Yongxi is related to the future of Chinese basketball. Before Cui Yongxi, many Chinese basketball players have set foot on the "basketball holy land" of the NBA. Yao Ming is one of the benchmark figures, but after him, there were few successes. Zhou Qi is the best example. This player, once hailed as "the new hope of Chinese basketball," was also highly anticipated when he entered the NBA Houston Rockets. However, he failed to deliver impressive performances in limited playing time, coupled with a mismatch with the team's tactical style, and eventually had to return to the CBA for development. Cui Yongxi's story seems somewhat similar to Zhou Qi's. His playing time with the Nets was also very limited, and just as people expected him to fight for more opportunities to perform, an unexpected ligament injury disrupted all plans. The injury itself is already painful enough, followed by being laid off, which is a cold reality that pours…

"Return to China, Cui Yongxi Makes a Choice, Officially Announces His Decision, Destination Revealed, Guo Shiqiang Anticipates"

The second stage of the CBA regular season is in full swing, with intense on-court battles thrilling spectators. However, amidst this excitement, news about the recovery of men's basketball star Cui Yongxi has sparked a new sense of anticipation among fans. As one of the top domestic forward prospects, Cui Yongxi's fame extends beyond the CBA. Initially, he secured a spot with the NBA's Brooklyn Nets and was entrusted with significant responsibilities. Unfortunately, unforeseen injuries forced him to prematurely end his overseas journey, ultimately leading to his release from the Nets. Now, the news of Cui Yongxi planning to return to China has reignited the passion of CBA teams, presenting an excellent opportunity for those seeking reinforcement. Among these teams, Guangdong undoubtedly stands as one in dire need of such a piece. Once a traditional powerhouse, Guangdong now finds itself in an awkward position—lacking the determination to completely rebuild or the ability to challenge for the championship with its current lineup. The team's imported players, such as Arms, Barton, and Rice, have underperformed, falling short of expectations. Looking internally, the team's shortcomings at the three and five positions are glaringly obvious. Even with veterans like Ren Junfei holding up and Hu Mingxuan expected to return later in the season, a stable domestic small forward or center remains scarce for Guangdong. Complicating matters further is the CBA's "single foreign player in the final quarter" policy, which has repeatedly caused Guangdong to falter in the closing stages of games. While they can maintain parity with dual foreign players earlier in the game,…

Since Cui Yongxi was injured on December 12 last year, there has been little news about him. On the one hand, Cui Yongxi hopes to recover quietly, and on the other hand, it is also the characteristics of professional players - no games, naturally no heat. Such a situation is really good for Xiao Cui, after all, he suffered a serious injury such as anterior cruciate ligament tear, which directly ended the season and may even affect his future career. On December 20 last year, Cui Yongxi updated his personal social media account, released a photo of his leg, and wrote "The surgery went well." According to reports, Cui Yongxi has completed his leg surgery and repaired the torn left knee anterior cruciate ligament. He is currently in good condition and has entered the stage of rest and rehabilitation. Another two weeks have passed, and finally today there is new progress. It is understood that Cui Yongxi's current rehabilitation is going well, and he has gradually gotten rid of the support of crutches. According to the previous plan, after completing the surgery on December 20, Cui Yongxi needs to undergo rehabilitation in New York for about a month, and the doctor helping him is a rehabilitation expert recommended by the Nets. Next, Cui Yongxi will also take a short vacation and return home in mid-January to spend the Spring Festival with his family. Later, Cui Yongxi is expected to return to the United States in March this year to continue rehabilitation treatment. Cui Yongxi's American agent believes that Cui Yongxi…

The second phase of the CBA regular season is in full swing, and recently there has been a lot of talk about the good news of the recovery from injury of the powerful forward Cui Yongxi. As one of the top domestic frontcourt newcomers in the CBA league, Cui Yongxi once signed with the NBA's Brooklyn Nets and received significant playing time. However, an unexpected injury led to his release by the Nets. It is reported that Cui Yongxi plans to return to China in the short term, which could be the best opportunity for CBA teams to recruit him. Currently, CBA teams are fiercely competing with the advantage of foreign players, but the traditional powerhouse Guangdong team is wavering between rebuilding or investing more to make a playoff push. Guangdong team is now in a dilemma, especially after the disappointing failures of successive foreign player signings such as Ams, Barton, and Les. For Du Feng, Guangdong team currently has huge disadvantages at both the three and five positions. Even if the veteran Ren Junfei can still hold onto the big wing position, and Hu Mingxuan is expected to return in subsequent games, Guangdong team still lacks a qualified domestic small forward or center. Although the double foreigner four-quarter seven-person system this season gave Guangdong team a chance to catch their breath in the first three quarters, the single foreigner system in the final quarter is still a major pain point. This also makes Guangdong team not optimistic about being able to perform at a championship level this season, even…
