On December 4, Beijing time, the NBA is about to usher in the opening battle today, and just before the opening match began, the Southeast Melbourne Phoenix team sent major good news, and the team official announced that Zhou Qi will start his debut and is not affected by injuries. The Melbourne Phoenix have officially announced that in their regular season opening match today, the team will play against the New Zealand Saboteurs, and Zhou Qi will become the team's starting center.
They confirmed the news in the official announcement, the Melbourne Phoenix in the preseason record is 2 wins and 2 losses to play more well, but the Phoenix team has officially confirmed that their core starting center Zhou Qi will be the starting No. 5 of the team in this game, which is also his NBL regular season debut. At the same time, Zhou Qi has participated in all the training and game preparations in the team in the morning, and found that the injury is not a big problem, so the team decided to let him play, and Zhou Qi himself is willing to play.
Such news is undoubtedly a major good news, Zhou Qi can finally come back, and has not been bothered by the new champion, but also not affected by the sudden injury of the previous FIBA FIBA World Preliminary Tournament.
In the previous World Preliminary Tournament, Zhou Qi represented the men's basketball team in the game against Japan, the first game appeared in the 20 minutes, 17 shots 11 cut 24 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks, but in the third quarter of the game was hooked by the opponent Zhang BenTianjie to the calf and caused an ankle sprain, he did not play in the second game against Japan, but now it seems that Zhou Qi's ankle injury will not affect his performance.
It is worth mentioning that the New Zealand Saboteurs are the old rivals of the Great Devil Zhou Qi, and his last game of preseason is against the Saboteurs, when Zhou Qi played 17 minutes, 8 shots 5 cut 10 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks to play wonderfully, but unfortunately the team was tragically killed by the Destroyers in the last moment.
However, Zhou Qi's performance in that game was still very exciting, and the spoilers at that time hoped that Zhou Qi could return to the team in advance and prepare for such an opener game together to lead the team to complete revenge. But Zhou Qi said that he was determined to stand with the men's basketball team, determined to play the entire World Preliminary Round, which was the second game against Japan, Zhou Qi chose to be with the team, and paid attention to the whole field on the sidelines.
Now, after returning to the Melbourne Phoenix, after all the team training and matches, the team confirmed that Zhou Qi's injury would not be a major obstacle, and only then announced that Zhou Qi could play. In any case, Zhou Qi's return is a major benefit, and after being blackfooted by Zhang Bentianjie before, only a week has passed since now, Zhou Qi was able to catch up with the team's opener, and I have to say that he can also be called Iron Man and Wolverine, and the speed of recovery is really fast.
At that time, he was carried out by his teammates, but now that he can play, I hope That Zhou Qi will not be in a big trouble, this is his NBL regular season debut, and everyone is looking forward to seeing him play a better performance and finally return to the NBA.
