Since Chinese basketball superstar Zhou Qi joined Australia's NBL League, the NBL's domestic popularity has completely increased, ushering in the Chinese market. And Zhou Qi is also like the superstar of the NBL, which has attracted much attention, and even the opponent is interested in targeting him, wanting to give Zhou Qi a dismount, but Zhou Qi does not say much and has been responding with performance.
In the match between Phoenix and Melbourne United, Zhou Qi broke out, cutting 22 points, 10 rebounds, 2 steals and 7 blocks, dominating the game at both ends of the attack and defense. Zhou Qi's promotion to the Phoenix team is too big, directly becoming the favorite to compete for the title, coupled with Crick's MVP level performance, the Phoenix team is expected to achieve great results this season.
Zhou Qi completely played his own style, although the NBL is much stronger than the CBA confrontation, but like Zhou Qi's type of internal line, he is very popular everywhere, of course, in addition to the NBA league, after all, the NBA is the world's first basketball league, with too many muscle macho men, Zhou Qi is indeed not dominant in the confrontation.
Even CCTV has reported Zhou Qi's wonderful performance, using his own efforts to turn the NBL League into one of the most popular leagues among Chinese fans, and the influence is too great. According to CCTV Sports, the Phoenix coach praised Zhou Qi as the "jewel" of the NBL in an interview. First, Zhou Qi's strength is strong and can make the NBL more exciting. Second, Zhou Qi completely helped the NBL open up the Chinese market, and it is estimated that there will be many domestic sponsors to sponsor the NBL, which will be a great source of income.
Zhou Qi's influence in the NBL is very large, which can also be seen from another aspect. In the match between Phoenix and Melbourne United, the live DJ of Melbourne United was suspected of making inappropriate remarks, and after Zhou Qi missed the free throw, he publicly stated that "he may not know why we are so happy". Such remarks are not considered very appropriate, and just today, Melbourne United has reportedly made a public apology and will fully cooperate with the NBL Australian Basketball League's official investigation. This is enough to see how important Zhou Qi is to the NBL.
Zhou Qi seems to have become the top superstar of the NBL, and even has the opportunity to get the season MVP and DPOY, and the NBL is also a springboard for many players to realize their dreams in the NBA, Zhou Qi's performance is so outstanding, and he is still very young, is there a chance to impact the NBA in the future?
Just recently, the domestic basketball celebrity Su Qun talked about Zhou Qi in the interaction with fans, Su Qun's words are very interesting, if Zhou Qi has been playing like this, it will soon be back to the NBA. Obviously, this is a compliment, in fact, Zhou Qi can play in the NBA, we all know this, he is only playing at a normal level now, and should be favored by some NBA teams.
Some fans asked Su Qun teacher, "Can Zhou Qi go to the NBA next season, which teams can he go to", and Su Qun's answer is very direct, "If the situation is good, you can go this season." And Su Qun also said bluntly, "If Zhou Qi often plays like this, he can return to the NBA soon."
It seems that Zhou Qi joining the NBL is a very wise decision, and his offensive and defensive levels have been played. The NBA league's trading deadline is getting closer and closer, Zhou Qi has the opportunity to return to the NBA to play, if returned, compared to the first landing in the NBA, the current Zhou Qi confrontation is stronger, should be able to get a rotation position.
