In the Melbourne derby melbourne phoenix 94-86 victory over Melbourne United, Zhou Qi had 22 points and 10 rebounds, and single-handedly won 7 blocks for the whole team.
Zhao Jiwei suspected that Zhou Qi brushed his hat, but added a dog head to the back, which was obviously a joke, and the real achievement of Zhou Qi was the opposing center Achur, who was completely exploded by Zhou Qi because he was brainless. The destroyer Wetzel can let Zhou Qi 5 fouls to leave, that is just a stout type of center, Achur 211cm, and Zhou Qi is very thin and slow, Zhou Qi carries him without losing his position, and the 229cm arm span is completely threatening.
Australian league players like to pick zhou qi one-on-one, and it feels like unlimited honor to score, but Zhou Qi is tall after all, you can score a few, but there are also times when eating hot pot, Zhou Qi's personal offensive feeling is much fiercer than in the CBA, and one person knocks down the other two.
So did he leave the CBA to make or lose? He is the top salary of 6 million in the CBA, went to the NBL, people gave the highest 4 million, and Zhou Qi also has an endorsement of Li Ning, the game is still playing less, there should be other conveniences, such as the car sponsored by the Chinese car dealership, Zhou Qi did not lose much.
Zhou Qi also earned, the salary is less than that part, with the new endorsement and public opinion wind direction greatly improved, the traffic brought by staying in the West can be realized, Zhou Qi is now in the domestic and Australian Chinese basketball circles heat ratio, before two notches higher, playing a preseason game can attract so much attention. Zhou Qi's popularity in the past two years has not been high, and the public opinion environment is still bad, but now his future is suddenly bright.
CBA players should improve their level, they should go overseas to develop more, the local league is only for a few teams after all (to put it bluntly, around a few strong teams to develop Chinese basketball, medium or lower middle teams are with the prince to study), so the CBA salary cut, forcing these people to go abroad, let them see the European and American basketball leagues, rather than using high welfare tied to the CBA pool.
How can Zhou Qi not play in the NBA? When Zhou Qi went to the NBA, it was still July 2017, more than 4 years from now, when he signed a four-year, 5.57 million US dollars with the Rockets, with a starting annual salary of 810,000 US dollars. Zhou Qi spent more than a year with the Rockets, playing 6.6 minutes in the regular season, scoring 1.3 points, 1.2 rebounds, 0.74 blocks, 0.1 assists, 0.11 steals, and only appeared in a total of 19 appearances, during which he was repeatedly delegated to the Development League by the Rockets, and was officially laid off by the Rockets on December 18, 2018.
When he played the NBA, from the perspective of body and experience, there is a big difference from the current maturity, just take the comparison with the men's basketball World Cup held in China in 2019, Zhou Qi's performance at that time was different from the current performance, no domineering, or experienced some things, and now he has improved, at least his self-confidence has increased a lot, besides, the level of the NBL is not as good as the level of the NBA.
When Zhou Qi was in the NBA, his thin body could not withstand the impact of the NBA's wolf-like athletes. In the CBA, he is the core figure in the team, other players such as the stars and the moon, will give him the ball, to the NBA can not start, the playing time is short, no one gives the ball, they can not grab the ball, what they see is running back and forth on the field.
