On November 21, Beijing time, Cui Yongxi, who was training with the Long Island Nets, was interviewed by the media. In the interview, he said that he had a very good opportunity to grow, and he went all summer for this opportunity to learn and improve himself in the NBA, so as to inspire more children and inspire young players to dare to go out.
The reporter asked what it was like to go from the Brooklyn Nets to the Long Island Nets. "It's two different experiences, because when I was with the Nets, it was more about reading and watching the game off the court, like a kind of learning, learning how NBA players play, understanding the rhythm of the NBA, learning their shot options," Choi said. That's what I learned at the Nets. ”
"Once I'm here [for the Long Island Nets], I'm going to learn how to lead the team, I'm going to learn how to do my job on the court, and I'm going to show what I've learned here and apply it in the Development League, and that's where I can play."
Then the reporter asked how important it is for you to be a member of the Nets and a member of the national team to bear the many expectations of China. Choi Yong-hee replied: "It's a great growth opportunity for me, and I've been working hard for this opportunity all summer so that I can continue to grow in this league. All these challenges are to continue to improve myself so that I can help my country in the future and inspire more children and inspire more young players to come out, which I think is a very good thing. ”
The reporter also agreed with Choi Yong-hee's view, and then asked the last question: "What is your main goal this season?" ”
Choi Yong-hee said: "My goal is to keep getting better because I have my own plan every step of the way, for example, in this game, my goal is to score 10 points, grab a few rebounds, give a few assists, and when I get there, I will set a higher goal in the next step." Let's take it one step at a time. ”
So far this season, Choi Yong-hee has rarely played in the Brooklyn Nets, only playing 3 games, playing a total of 4 minutes and 22 seconds, shooting 0-of-1 from the field and 1-of-2 from the free throw line, scoring a total of 1 point. Since the beginning of this week, Choi Yong-hee has been training with the Long Island Nets and is expected to make his G-League debut on November 23 (Beijing time).
