In today’s NBA Summer League, the Hornets ultimately defeated the Trail Blazers 84-68.
Chinese player Cui Yongxi received playing time in the final minutes of the game but unfortunately missed a three-pointer and did not score.
Cui Yongxi has now received playing time in three consecutive games, averaging 3 points. His defensive attitude and three-point shooting threat have left a strong impression on fans. The Trail Blazers still have one two-way contract slot available. Do you think Cui can secure this opportunity?
In his post-game interview, Cui Yongxi remained confident, stating,
“The coach told me beforehand that I might not play, but I still had to be ready to go on the court. Once I got on the court, I wanted to show what I could do, but I was a bit tense. There wasn’t much time, but next time I hope to make the most of the opportunity. As long as they give me a chance, I believe I can showcase my strengths.”
The Trail Blazers have one more game in the Summer League. We look forward to seeing how Cui performs next!
