Recently, Zhou Qi ushered in the outbreak of the NBL regular season, and in the third round of the Phoenix team's victory over Melbourne United, Zhou Qi cut 22 points, 10 rebounds and 7 blocks, all three statistics are personal new highs, and also contributed 2 steals. In the last moments of the game, Zhou Qi's dunks and free throws almost directly won the victory for the Phoenix. After the game, Zhou Qi received unanimous praise, foreign reporters praised Zhou Qi for booking the best defensive player, and former managers praised Zhou Qi for promising to impact the MVP, including the NBL League and captain Crick also sent praise to Zhou Qi.
Although it received unanimous praise, there were still bad voices after the game, that is, Zhou Qi was suspected of encountering racial discrimination on the field. This is according to the report, the Phoenix team in Australia's local fan base is discussing whether to go to the relevant units to complain, because last night's Melbourne United home commentary in Zhou Qi's free throw some inappropriate remarks suspected of involving racial discrimination.
The cause of this incident is that Zhou Qi's free throw shooting rate in the game is not very high, 2 of 7 free throws in the whole game, the scene DJ said: "Let's make some noise, although maybe this guy on the penalty basket can't understand what we are saying, but come on, the whole field is restless." "Then there are suspected racist remarks in the voices in the stadium, after all, Zhou Qi is Asian and yellow-skinned, so local fans will use this to attack and interfere with Zhou Qi."
It is precisely for this reason that local Phoenix fans and fans who support Zhou Qi discuss whether to report it, after all, racial discrimination is prohibited anywhere, and if the results of the investigation show that it is true, then Melbourne United will definitely be punished.
Of course, Zhou Qi's performance on the field was still outstanding, and after the game, he was also supported by coach Mitchell, who said: "Zhou Qi is a very good child, a very good player, he is a jewel in the crown of the NBL League. From the basketball level, Zhou Qi has nothing to adjust, but the NBL referees need to adjust the scale of blowing penalties for Zhou Qi. ”
Teammate Kyle said: "Zhou Qi is our inside gate, as a defender, when you have such a basket protector in the team, you will be very confident to shoot the ball into the basket." ”
It can be seen that the manager and teammates still have a high evaluation of Zhou Qi. Therefore, I also hope that Zhou Qi can stop caring about the voices of the outside world, do a good job, continue to train well, continue to be in good shape, and strive to continue to lead the Phoenix team to victory in the next step, and impact the championship this season.
