Sun took the initiative to contact, hoping to let him enter the Bayi team, and suddenly received a phone call. "The phone call was made by the head coach of the navy. When you open your mouth, you say that you are not interesting enough. A good prospect has been given to the Bayi team, and one will be given to the Bayi team! " Sun said with a smile: "At that time, the navy was also a national youth team, and there were many opportunities to participate in international competitions. The first day, I answered the phone. The next day, the navy came to Taiyuan from Shanghai and went through the enlistment procedures for Cui Lei. " Cui Liang, who was originally a basketball player, became attached to handball and had to start with his brother Cui Lei. Guo, the first coach of Cui Liang, once recalled: "At that time, the team lacked the bottom line. Cui Lei was the best player on the team at that time. Later, he introduced that he had a younger brother who played basketball, and his physical quality was better than his. As a result, Cui Liang was recruited, which was really good at first glance. "
