On December 12, Beijing time, the Australian NBL League regular season, southeast Melbourne Phoenix defeated Melbourne United 94-86. In this game, Chinese player Zhou Qi ushered in a big outbreak, dominating the inner line, Zhou Qi appeared in 29 minutes and 14 seconds, 10 of 13 shots, 7 of 2 free throws, cut 22 points, 10 rebounds, 2 steals and 7 blocks, and was officially rated as the best player of the game by the NBL.
I have to say that Zhou Qi's performance in this game is quite perfect, especially on the defensive end, showing a terrifying defensive dominance, he single-handedly contributed all 7 blocks of the whole team, so that the center of the opponent's squad had no ability to fight back on the inside. After the game, Zhou Qi updated Weibo and wrote: "A fierce competition, a teamwork victory! One game is better than the other, simply shoot the ball! ”
It is worth noting that Zhou Qi's Liaoning basket teammate Zhao Jiwei joked below: "I suspect that someone on the other side deliberately let you brush your hat!" In this game, Zhou Qi's performance was very tough, from dominating the inside line at the beginning of the game to a key secondary attack at the end of the game, Zhou Qi's attack and defense under the basket were handy. The NBL's game is still very confrontational, and for Zhou Qi, this is definitely a good thing.
Phoenix coach Simon Mitchell said about Zhou Qi in a previous interview, he said: "Zhou Qi is very smart, don't believe anything like he doesn't know English, he understands everything. Zhou Qi has a very cheerful personality, and one day he went straight past the place where the physiotherapist worked and turned off his computer, which made us all happy. He has a good relationship with Crick, and as a coach I can see that Zhou Qi is a very interesting person in life, and I think the players see more than me. He was a kid with a high IQ and knew how to communicate with his teammates. ”
Judging from the regular season, Zhou Qi's performance is indeed getting better and better. Needless to say, the performance on the field is not to say, in the face of incomprehensible judgments, Zhou Qi will also take the initiative to find a referee theory. Of course, as the Phoenix coach said, Zhou Qi is really good with Crick in the team. After the game, teammate Crick generously confessed to Zhou Qi, he said: "Big Zhou Qi, dude, I love him to death, I want to kiss him!" ”
Not only did Crick praise Zhou Qi, after the game, the Phoenix teammates all surrounded Zhou Qi and encouraged and praised Zhou Qi. He also sent Zhou Qi a head-touching kill, and the whole team gave Zhou Qi a thumbs up. The head coach also praised Zhou Qi, the ability to protect the frame is excellent, as long as he can integrate into the team and adapt to the league, he can play a dominant performance on the field.
Back in the locker room, Crick began to dance hotly at Zhou Qi, and also gave Zhou Qi the corset on his body as a gold belt, and Zhou Qi adapted to the rhythm of the Phoenix team and got along well with his teammates, which was very good. In addition, in another regular season game in the NBL today, the Brisbane Bullets narrowly defeated the Perth Wildcats 97-94 in double overtime. Chinese player Liu Chuanxing played 7 minutes and 27 seconds off the bench, shooting 1 of 2, with 2 points and 4 rebounds, including 1 rebound in the frontcourt. From the current point of view, the gap between Liu Chuanxing and Zhou Qi is still very large, he still has to improve his mobile ability, make more contributions on the defensive end, come on!
