Who Zhou Qi is, I believe that whether it is a fan or a non-fan, he will be familiar with it, and even know a lot of things related to him. Just like Yao Ming at that time, he was almost a household name.
Zhou Qi
However, compared with Yao Ming, Zhou Qi may be missing a lot of things. Whether it is the achievements of the CBA or the NBA, or the national event, Yao Ming is in a crushing position, and Zhou Qi is currently difficult to match.
So, what if it is compared with Hasheng Town, which was often compared to Yao Ming by the Korean media at that time? Are they comparable? Can Zhou Qi stabilize the head of Hesheng Town?
Hesheng Town
Zhou Qi is very similar to Hesheng Town, that is, they have both been trained in the NBA, and they are basically at the level of water dispensers. Of course, Hesheng Town has more of a lost position than Zhou Qi in the NBA.
HaSheng town in 2004 participated in the NBA draft that year, and in the second round of the 46th place was selected by the Blazers, becoming the first Korean player to play in the NBA, at that time in the hearts of Koreans, Ha Sheng Town is able to rival the existence of Yao Ming, so that later after many confrontations with Yao Ming were broken, the Korean media used "both Yao sheng, Ha Sheng town" to lament that Ha Sheng town was not timely.
Hesheng Town with Yao Ming
In the two years of his NBA campaign, Hesheng town has been playing for the Blazers, playing a total of 46 games in two seasons, including 4 starts and 42 bench games, averaging 6.9 minutes per game, shooting 51.9% from the field, and averaging only 1.5 points per game.
Hesheng Town once scored a career-high 13 points against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Compared with Hesheng Town, Zhou Qi carries more highlights with China's Yao Jiacheng, and he has also successfully entered yao Ming's previous Houston Rockets team as the public expects.
Zhou Qi participated in the NBA draft in 2016 and was selected by the Houston Rockets with the 43rd pick in the second round. The following year, Zhou Qi signed a four-year contract with the Rockets for a total contract value of $5.57 million. Zhou Qi was given great expectations by the Chinese people, hoping that he could bring Chinese business cards overseas and bring them to the international community like Yao Ming did in those years, so as to promote China's prestige.
However, Zhou Qi's career in the Rockets is very ugly, Zhou Qi played a total of 19 games during the Rockets, all of which were bench or garbage time, averaging 6.5 minutes per game, shooting only 21.2% from the field, and scoring 1.3 points. Interestingly, Zhou Qi has played in the playoffs against the Timberwolves, playing three minutes, shooting 1 of 1, and scoring a total of 2 points.
Zhou Qi was surprised that the Rockets had given him the opportunity to exercise, but in the interview after the game, he actually said that he was not ready. Once in the game, when Zhou Qi performed the serve, he directly threw the ball at the head of his teammates, which also made the fans very sad.
Since leaving the NBA and entering the domestic league, The Jeonju KKKC team played by Ha Seung-jin has reached the Finals for three consecutive years, lifted the championship trophy twice, and won the FMVP honor of the first finals of his career to become the first center in South Korea.
Zhou Qi and Wang Zhelin
Zhou Qi has been playing in the CBA for many years now, and in the 16-17 season, he helped the team sweep the opponent 4:0 in the finals and won the first championship in Xinjiang team history.
Hesheng town has played in the national team for many years, and the best performance was the 2007 World Championships, when he was only 22 years old, he averaged 17.3 points and 9.1 rebounds per game; in other countries, Hesheng town often missed due to injury, or performed poorly.
Hasheng Town was once hammered by Yao Ming at the 2003 Asian Championships with 30 points, 15 boards and 5 blocks, and before the game, the Korean media claimed that HaSheng Town was a "Korean light" and "Asian light" that beat Yao Ming in terms of bounce, athletic ability, IQ and other aspects. Interestingly, in the Asian Championships in 2009, facing Haddadi, Hesheng Town also had no ability to fight back.
Zhou Qi performed prominently at the 2018 Jakarta Men's Basketball Asian Games, and in the final, Zhou Qi scored 15 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks, helping the Chinese men's basketball red team defeat Iran and regain the Asian Games championship after eight years. In the Jakarta Asian Games, Zhou Qi made a total of 5 appearances, averaging 24.9 minutes per game, and could get 15.6 points, 9.8 rebounds and 4 blocks, including a staggering 58.3% three-point shooting rate.
However, there are good and bad, in the 2019 Men's Basketball World Cup, Zhou Qi made successive mistakes at key moments in the match against Poland, including an offensive foul, an empty layup, a sideline serve mistake, which directly buried the victory of this game, further leading to the Chinese team failing to win the Olympic ticket, and has been insulted by fans so far.
Hesheng town's playing style on the court is very simple, because he has a strong weight and sufficient strength, the low position ability in the attack is good, but the offensive means are single, mainly from the basket and dunk, and the lack of frame ability.
Hesheng Town and Yi Jianlian
Defensively, Hesheng Town can use his tall figure to block the inner line, so that the opponent can not easily enter the inner line, is a very effective means of defense, but his lateral movement speed is very slow, the lack of defensive ability, but also led to his once blocked in the game, it is difficult to keep up, can only watch the opponent score, or pray for teammates to make up for the defense in place.
Zhou Qi has excellent talent, both on the offensive and defensive ends. Offensively, Zhou Qi has excellent self-possession offensive ability, the basket small hooker has also made some progress, and his projection ability is also very good, and the outside three points have a good shooting rate, scoring stability is high.
Defensively, Zhou Qi is thin and cannot block the inside line like other centers to carry the opponent with full flesh, Zhou Qi is more to use his excellent arm span to interfere with the opponent's shooting and layup, and the blocking ability is very prominent.
Combining the performance of Hesheng Town and Zhou Qi in the NBA, domestic leagues and national competitions, the two people can be said to be half a pound and eight two, and Zhou Qi has the long-range shooting ability that Hesheng Town lacks, and is more excellent in terms of strategy. Hesheng Town has a better interior line top defense and low position capabilities, which can be described as having its own advantages.
If modern basketball balls become increasingly popular and magic balls in international arenas are popular, Zhou Qi is stronger than Hesheng Town. But if you put it in the era of Hesheng Town, Zhou Qi can stand up to Hesheng Town, and count me as a loser.
So who do you think is stronger, Zhou Qi or Hesheng Town? Welcome to vote with your little hands.
