With 17 points, 13 boards and 5 hats, Zhou Qi's performance in the Australian NBL League has become more and more mature, and after four games of adaptation, he has gradually become one of the core players of the Southeast Melbourne Phoenix. As a Filipino Zhou Qi, who, like Zhou Qi, was given high hopes by the Asian basketball world, Soto finally ushered in his NBL debut, but in general condition, he only played 10 minutes and got 1 point, 2 assists and 3 boards. This data impact on the NBA is probably hanging.
This season, the NBL League has become a springboard for Asian players, such as Zhou Qi, Liu Chuanxing, Li Hongquan and Soto, etc., have joined the Australian League, of which Zhou Qi and Soto hope to use the NBL League to once again impact the NBA or log on to the NBA. The 19-year-old Soto regards Zhou Qi as an idol and an object of pursuit.
However, in the debut of the Adelaide 36ers, Soto's performance can only be described as average. In the 10 minutes of playing time, Soto did not get a shot, only 4 free throw opportunities, hit 1 goal, and scored 1 point. Although delivered 2 assists, 3 boards and 2 caps.
Judging from the presence on the court, Soto has obviously not adapted to the rhythm of the NBL League. And, because of this battle, Adelaide was a big scorer, and Soto played most of the time in garbage time. The opponent's defensive attention and attacking power have dropped significantly by one notch, and the reference value on the court is actually not high.
Born in 2002, Soto, who is only 19 years old this year, has been attracting the attention of Chinese fans since his debut. In the eyes of many people, this person will become the number one enemy of the men's basketball team in the future, and the enemy of Zhou Qi's life. However, from the current point of view, there is still a big gap between Soto and Zhou Qi of the same age. And considering that the Chinese team is after Zhou Qi, as well as the super internal line of rising stars such as Hu Jinqiu and Yu Jiahao, looking to the future, Soto's threat to the men's basketball team is not too big.
