At 16:30 beijing time on December 10, the second round of the Australian NBL League regular season continued, and the Southeast Melbourne Phoenix, where Chinese player Zhou Qi is located, will once again sit at home to meet the New Zealand Saboteurs, and Zhou Qi is expected to help the team win two consecutive wins. 6 days ago, the Melbourne Phoenix team won the saboteur team 89-65, won the opening red, the overall strength of the two sides is very different, so if the normal play, the Phoenix team to win again is not a difficult thing, and Chinese fans are more concerned about Zhou Qi's performance, is not better than the first game.
The first game between the two sides, Zhou Qi's body has not yet recovered to a healthy state, because he has just represented the Chinese men's basketball team in the first window of the World Preliminary Round, in the first game against the Japanese men's basketball team, Zhou Qi left the field with a 90-degree foot injury, and thus missed the second game with the Japanese team back-to-back, but Zhou Qi's recovery process exceeded the expectations of fans, and the seventh day of the injury can represent the Melbourne Phoenix team to participate in the regular season debut, before the Phoenix coach also promised that Zhou Qi was definitely one of the starters of the season. However, in this game, Zhou Qi was placed in the bench position, and it was obvious that he was still a little worried about his injury, Zhou Qi played 20 minutes and 43 seconds in this game, and got 8 points, 5 rebounds and 3 blocks on 4-of-7 shooting.
In fact, from the data point of view is decent, but as long as you have seen this game are clear data is not all explained, Zhou Qi's defense is basically impeccable, standing on the inside line of the opponent does not dare to easily break through, and relying on very excellent moving ability, Zhou Qi can pounce on the outside line to defend the opponent's small players, after the high delay can also be quickly contracted to prevent their own opponents of the player, so that the destroyer team does not have too good a way, so that when the big score is behind, the player's mentality is somewhat undulating, He almost clashed with Zhou Qi on the field.
On the offensive end, Zhou Qi also has a brilliant performance, such as receiving the ball near the 45-degree angle of the three-second zone, a turn to wipe the opponent's defense directly jumping with both hands dunks, causing all the players on the Phoenix bench to stand up and applaud Zhou Qi, of course, Zhou Qi's NBL regular season debut, because there is a gap in strength between the two teams, Zhou Qi is also because of the foot injury, playing for about 20 minutes, which is a relatively normal playing time, and now with Zhou Qi completely getting rid of the injury of the foot, coupled with the more and more tacit understanding with his teammates in training I believe that while doing a good job of defense as always, I can also win the trust of my teammates, pass more balls to myself, create some offensive opportunities, and help the team win at the same time, and your own data will also have an improvement.
