In the early hours of July 13, China’s national men’s basketball team played a closed-door practice game against the Blazers, ultimately losing 42-61. Cui Yongxu, playing for the Blazers, scored 9 points (3 out of 4 from beyond the arc), grabbed 2 rebounds, and made 1 steal. After the game, Cui Yongxu spoke to the media.
Cui Yongxu commented post-game, “They (China’s national men’s basketball team) defended normally. We have a pretty tight relationship, but they didn’t favor me. Whenever they called a play, I knew their strategy. When I was defending, I was aware of each player’s characteristics. I hope they didn’t go easy on me, because going easy on the court is actually an insult. I believe it was a normal game, and if we had gone all out, I would have accepted the result even more.”
