On June 2, Choi Yongxi updated her personal social media and posted her latest training video. This can be said to be the first time Choi Yongxi went on the court to train after suffering an ACL torn of the left knee joint. Due to injury, Choi Yongxi has not trained for 171 days.

From this video, Choi Yongxi dribbled the ball with both hands on the bottom line, which was to get two balls. Choi Yongxi squatted very low on horseback and smiled. It seemed that Choi Yongxi's knee joint was still good. Another training was to run from the center line to the three-point line to catch the ball and jump shot. Choi Yongxi took three-pointers one by one, with a very high shooting percentage. He was able to jump shots at the three-point line, which was enough to prove that Choi Yongxi's knee joint recovered quite well.

Everyone still remembers that last summer, Choi Yongxi went to the United States to pursue her dreams and signed a two-way contract with the Nets, which was a successful entry into the NBA. Choi Yongxi also played in the summer league for the Nets. Although Choi Yongxi did not have many opportunities to play, Choi Yongxi still grasped the opportunity and performed well, especially the offense at the three-point line, which left a deep impression on everyone.

Just as Choi Yongxi was about to continue to exert force, there were unexpected situations, but in a game representing the Long Island Nets in the G League on December 12 last year, Choi Yongxi suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee, which led to Choi Yongxi's season reimbursement. This injury could not be recovered, so Choi Yongxi was cut by the Nets. The NBA will not be merciless, and they will never raise a patient who is idle.

Indeed, the cruciate ligament is actually the cruciate ligament connecting the upper and lower bones of the knee joint. This injury is very nerve-wracking, because basketball players have a lot of sudden stops and quick starts, many change directions and accelerate at short distances, so the knee joint is very important. Just as everyone doubts whether Choi Yongxi can still continue to move forward in the NBA, Choi Yongxi publicly stated not long ago that he will continue to pursue his dreams in the NBA and will never give up until he achieves his goal.

After 171 days of recuperation and recovery, Choi Yongxi finally stepped onto the training ground and took the step of pursuing dreams again. So, it is hard to say whether Choi Yongxi can still return to his previous state. Maybe Choi Yongxi should change his playing style, but in the NBA, a small forward like Choi Yongxi can only float outside to attack. How easy is Choi Yongxi's physical hardness to kill the basket? Therefore, from a theoretical perspective, Choi Yongxi's prospects in the NBA are not optimistic, but her spirit of pursuing dreams cannot be defeated.
