On July 16, Beijing time, the Trail Blazers defeated the 76ers 97-95, and Chinese player Cui Yongxi finally ushered in his summer league debut, playing 7 minutes and 36 seconds, making 2 of 3 three-pointers, and getting 6 points and 1 assist. After the game, Choi Yong-hee was interviewed and talked about how he felt about his debut.
Talking about his feelings about his first appearance in the summer league, Choi Yong-hee said: "I was more excited at the beginning, and then I actually played games like those FIBA games before, so I didn't have that kind of tension on the court, and my head was still relatively clear. ”
Choi Yong-hee hit two three-pointers soon after he came on the court, leaving him with not many opportunities to adjust. How did Xiao Cui quickly find such a hot feel?
"I think from the beginning of the day, from getting up in the morning to get ready, you have to be ready to play, and then you have to be in a state of concentration at the bottom all the time, observing the trend on the field, and since the opposite side is defending the team, you don't have to hesitate to shoot that opportunity." Choi Yong-hee said.
Talking about the ball he gave to Klingen, Choi Yong-hee said: "Actually, this is how I play by myself, and then I actually learned more from them here about that kind of scoring efficiency, as well as three points and two points." So, I saw the kind of space [in Klingen], and I passed like that in the previous games, and I'm going to do it now. ”
When asked if he would be more confident because of his debut performance, Choi Yong-hee said: "I don't think the gap with them is that big, and then doing what I can on the court is what the coach can put me down." ”
Coach Guo Shiqiang also came to the scene today to support Xiao Cui. "He told me to be ready at all times, and then he prophesied a wave, and it felt like I would be there today, and then I would really go up today." Choi Yong-hee said.
However, Choi Yong-hee is not surprised by his appearance. 'I wasn't surprised to play today because we had a player in the same position as me and he was sick, so it's time to take your chances.
Talking about the next game, Choi Yong-hee said: "Actually, there are some pick-and-roll readings, some weak side of the defense, and some more things. "He's looking forward to continuing to show what he's capable of in the next games.
