Should we thank Choi Yongxi the most? As a pioneer, he exposes the true face of many pseudo-fans

With Zeng Fanbo and the Nets reaching an EX10 contract, so far this summer, we have four players who have plans to play in overseas leagues with higher levels.
It can be said that looking at the entire history of the Chinese men's basketball team, it is also dazzling.
Looking back on all this, what we should be most grateful for in addition to the efforts and persistence of these players, we should also be grateful for Choi Yongxi. To be precise, Choi Yongxi was last summer.
At that time, under the pressure of being disapproved by everyone, he resolutely went to the United States for special training and vowed to get an NBA team contract.
However, due to his forward style, his overall competitiveness in the NBA is too great. As we all know, it is now a veritable "front line prosperity".
NBA's talents in this field are like "crossing the river".
In this way, Cui Yongxi wants to tear a hole in this position, and the difficulty coefficient can be imagined.
Cui Yongxi himself fully estimated this, so we saw how intense his entire special training period was, including how focused his own investment was.
So, first played in the summer league in place of the Trail Blazers, then obtained an EX10 contract from the Nets, and soon received another "two-way contract".
So, another Chinese male basketball player who really played in the NBA was born.
However, at that time, many fans and media did not think so.
I think Cui Yongxi is just walking through the "backdoor". As we all know, the owner of the Nets is Cai Chongxin, who is a Chinese person, and he is also one of the major shareholders of the largest Internet company in China.
It can be said that he and China do have many indissoluble bonds.
So, according to the thinking logic of some of us fans and media, we think that Cai Chongxin took special care of Cui Yongxi and achieved the latter's "success".
In fact, in retrospect, these are pure nonsense. The owner of the
NBA team, strictly speaking, has no direct decision-making power in terms of team operations. The operation of the
team has a dedicated professional manager.
Of course, as a boss, you can make "recommendation", but it is hard to say whether the "recommended" players can be seen by professional managers.
Because, they are all more professional and will combine a lot of data to judge.
Only when they feel that they can basically reach the "threshold" of the NBA will they be given a certain opportunity. If you don't even touch the edge of your entire strength, don't worry, even Cai Chongxin's own son will definitely not have a "backdoor" to open.
For this point, you can refer to Brownie.
What a great traffic is "father and son on the same stage".
However, this is also because Brownie has the strength of an NBA marginalist, even if it is a little bit worse, it is not too outrageous.
In other words, if Brownie is just an ordinary CBA player's strength, then he will never be able to stand on the NBA court without thinking.
Summary of a sentence: Human relationships and worldly styles must exist everywhere, but as the platform with the highest level of basketball in the world, their bottom line still exists.
Therefore, the reason why Choi Yongxi was able to win the Nets' contract is more due to his own strength.
There should be no need for too much dispute about this issue.
The most important thing is that Choi Yongxi actually didn't think about how great he could achieve in the NBA. He just wanted to use his own efforts to tell all the local players in the CBA that the NBA is not as far away as everyone imagined. As long as he is willing to make efforts and fight, he can be infinitely close.
Just like what Cui Yongxi said in an interview with the media last year:
There may be only me this summer, but there may be a group of people next summer.
Cui, this prosperous era is as you wish.
