Young new stars have frequently emerged in Chinese basketball in recent years, among which Yang Hansen and Cui Yongxi are undoubtedly the two that are highly anticipated. However, media person Fu Zhenghao's recent comments on the two people have ignited the powder barrel of public opinion. He bluntly stated that there are significant differences in NBA talents between Yang Hansen and Choi Yongxi, and Choi Yongxi's injury is a "high probability event", while Yang Hansen needs to prove himself through the Asian Cup. This remark not only revealed the different situations of the two, but also triggered fierce debates among fans. Some support Fu Zhenghao's sharp analysis, while others hold up for Cui Yongxi, believing that his dream-chasing spirit should not be erased by the theory of talent.

Fu Zhenghao's views are unambiguous. He mentioned that Choi Yongxi's injury has nothing to do with the national team, but the result of his "insufficient talent" but "forcibly playing against the NBA." He wrote in his comments: "Xiao Choi does not have NBA talent. It was Boss Cai who gave her the opportunity, but his own body will not lie." In his opinion, Choi Yongxi's physical fitness is difficult to adapt to the strength of the NBA, and it is only a matter of time before he gets injured, and the facts seem to confirm his judgment - Choi Yongxi's injury comes faster than expected. In contrast, Yang Hansen was highly expected by Fu Zhenghao. He believes that Yang Hansen has not participated in the formal competition for a long time, and the Asian Cup is a good opportunity to test his growth. He also has the willingness to play for the country. The national team and the pioneers also expressed support. The win-win situation between all parties cannot be missed. However, fans were worried about it. A netizen left a message: "I just feel a little sorry for Xiao Yang. Don't use the child all at once, as long as you stay healthy. Once you are injured, the consequences are very serious." They are worried that Yang Hansen will be overused in the Asian Cup, which may repeat Cui Yongxi's mistakes, and even brought up Yao Ming's example to remind the Basketball Association to be cautious.

Choyong-hee's injury makes people particularly sensitive to the physical protection issues of young players. Some netizens refuted Fu Zhenghao: "Xiao Choi's talent is already the top of the yellow race. If you don't try it, you will regret it for your whole life. It is great to dare to pursue your dreams." In their eyes, although Choi Yongxi has not gained a foothold in the NBA, his fighting spirit is worthy of recognition. Injury, you should not be simply attributed to lack of talent. Yang Hansen's situation is even more complicated. Fu Zhenghao insisted: "If Yang Hansen is injured even in the Asian Cup, can he still play in the NBA?" He believes that high-intensity games are the only way for professional players. If Yang Hansen wants to become the flagship figure of the Chinese men's basketball team, he must withstand the test of the Asian Cup. This tit-for-tat view quickly heated up the discussion. The difference between the two is further magnified in the debate. Choi Yongxi is regarded as a dream chaser who is struggling on the edge of the NBA. His experience is full of inspirational colors, but it is also accompanied by the shadow of injuries. Yang Hansen is positioned as the hope star of Chinese basketball, with more promising talents and prospects, but has not yet proved himself in international arenas.

Fu Zhenghao's comment section became a battlefield, and his confrontation with netizens was sparking everywhere. One side believes that Choi Yongxi's efforts are underestimated, and talent theory should not be the only criterion for judgment; the other side thinks that Yang Hansen's potential is more worth looking forward to, and the Asian Cup is the stepping stone toward the NBA. This opposition not only stems from the differences in the current situation of the two, but also reflects the deep anxiety of fans about the way they cultivate basketball talents. On one hand, the fans are concerned about the health of players, and on the other hand, the media people insist on professional standards, and the debate between the two sides continues to ferment.
