The first 5V5 battle! Hello, Cui Yongxi! China s No. 1 Swingman

will always praise Choi Yongxi's courage and overall view...

Last summer, Choi Yongxi signed the Nets on a two-way contract with Zhou Qi and became Zhou Qi for 18 years. After six years, Chinese players finally stood on the NBA stage, despite paying the price of tearing the anterior cruciate ligament on his left knee. In the 24-25 season, Cui Yongxi, who played as a swingman in the forward guard, played 5 regular season games for the Nets, averaged 2 minutes per game, scoring 0.6 points and 0.4 rebounds; the Development League played 6 games, averaged 14 minutes per game, contributing 5.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1 assist.

Cui Yongxi was injured in December last year. She has been about 8 months and has made good recovery. According to his personal social media, his ACL injury has recovered 70% and has recently completed his first 5V5 goal inning after his injury.

It can be seen that Cui Yongxi still failed to exert full force when doing various actions, but it did not prevent him from playing 5V5. It is a positive signal.

If nothing unexpected happens, Choi Yongxi will officially announce his injury recovery in September this year, and then strive for a training camp contract to participate in the NBA preseason. If he performs well, he is expected to sign a two-way contract and return to the world's highest basketball hall; on the contrary, he will either play in the Development League or return to the CBA in the new season, and of course, he will not rule out playing in other leagues.

It's really a pity that the torn anterior cruciate ligament on the left knee ruined Choi Yongxi's NBA career to a certain extent. If he had not suffered this serious injury, he might have been able to renew his contract this summer offseason. No matter how bad he is, he can still win a two-way contract through the summer league performance like Kawamura Yonghui (Bulls). It can only be said that he is life.

And many people want to see what kind of energy Cui Yongxi, who has returned from leveling up from the NBA, can contribute in the national team's jersey. This year's Asian Cup was an excellent opportunity. The wing lineup formed by him with Zhu Junlong and Wang Junjie is enough to compete with any opponent, including Australia.

By the way, Guo Shiqiang, the current head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, is Cui Yongxi's mentor. He coached the latter for two seasons in the CBA. He then trained him to become a member of the national team, laying a solid foundation for this guy to evolve into an NBA player.

Simply put, Guo Shiqiang holds Cui Yongxi's instruction manual and can fully expect the first cooperation between the two in the Chinese men's basketball team in the future.
