on september 21, beijing time, the nets officially announced that they had signed a two-way contract with choi young-hee. the dream finally came true, but it was not easy for choi young-hee to get this contract.

this summer, choi young-hee went to the united states for training early, first participating in the g league's elite training camp, and then tried out for six nba teams, but unfortunately failed to be selected in the draft. when playing for the trail blazers in the summer league, choi young-hee had a slight calf strain, but fortunately, hard work paid off. in the end, his overall performance impressed the nets and he was awarded a two-way contract.

the agency wrote in a statement: "it was choi young-hee's outstanding performance in the nets' tryout and his shining points on and off the court in the summer league that made the nets offer choi young-hee a two-year two-way contract. after comparing with the contract offers from other nba teams and comprehensively considering his own development prospects, choi finally chose to sign with the nets."

back to the first two games of the g league elite training camp, choi young-hee was not in good shape. he only scored 9 points with 4 of 11 shots in the two games, and only 1 of 6 three-pointers, and failed to be selected for the chicago joint tryout list.
