In the NBL regular season, south-east Melbourne Phoenix lost 73-84 to the Sydney Kings, swallowing the first defeat of the season. But this time the ball lost, no one in the Phoenix team can blame Zhou Qi, can only say that the other people's play is really too bad.
In the first half, the Phoenix fell behind 31-43 at halftime. Zhou Qi played 15 minutes, shooting 4 of 5 and 4 of 5 from the free throw line, scoring 12 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block. Really rely on Zhou Qi painstakingly supported, if it were not for Zhou Qi, it is estimated that the game would have been explained long ago, it may be that Zhou Qi has just arrived at the team for a long time, many tactics have not been designed for Zhou Qi, and this ball Phoenix team does not have a real sense of the fourth position, in addition to Zhou Qi's other people are all in the three-point line, the other four people all rely on Zhou Qi alone to block the ball carrier, the other four do not block each other, this is indeed a bit strange, do not know what the Phoenix team is for, play such a lineup and tactics.
But even so, Zhou Qi still played well in this game, shooting 6 of 9, 0 of 1 from three points, 5 of 6 from the free throw line, 17 points, 13 rebounds and 5 blocks, with a plus-minus of +2. He is the only player in the team with a positive plus-minus value. You can see how strong Zhou Qi's role is, especially the 5 caps, which are definitely a natural barrier to the inner line. If this continues, it is not impossible for Zhou Qi to get an MVP in Australia, and even to return to the NBA is not impossible. Look forward to it. The best result is to lead the team to win the championship in Australia and get the double MVP, then the door of the NBA is estimated to be open for Zhou Qi again. Come on.
