Zhou Qi's Pai Yun Palm was ready and helped the Phoenix officially establish a no-fly zone on the inside line, but this time they still lost. You know, Zhou Qi has bombed the Phoenix in this game with 17 points, 13 rebounds, 1 assist and 5 blocks. Although his scoring has declined, his role on the team is still crucial. But it is very regrettable that the Phoenix's four-game winning streak was still strongly ended by the Kings. It seems that the Phoenix team really needs to reflect on how to help Zhou Qi decompress! Let's take a look at it with the basketball brother!
Zhou Qi has once again embodied the value
Through this game, Zhou Qi once again showed his importance to the fans in the Phoenix team. In particular, the no-fly zone he helped the Phoenix establish in their own rebounding area has relieved their worries. However, if you want to talk about the reason for the Loss of the Phoenix Team, in fact, it is also obvious that first, Zhou Qi's number of fouls is too much, and his teammates do not help him share the pressure of fouls at all; second, the three points of his teammates are always all kinds of iron, how to shoot, and they do not pass the ball to Zhou Qi who is in the inner line, and persistently use their own three-point projection to close each other's point difference, which is also the main reason for the Phoenix team's loss.
Mitchell should fully exert Zhou Qi's value
It seems that this time The Phoenix coach Mitchell really should reflect on it. The reason is also very simple, Zhou Qi is the only player in the whole team with positive plus-minus values. Even if his value is only +2, the negative value of his teammates undoubtedly makes Zhou Qi the only existence in the whole team. But in the eyes of basketball brothers, when the Phoenix team encounters a strong team, Mitchell should really consider another tactical way of playing. Here basketball brother admits that the three-point ball is indeed the fastest means of chasing points. But when the whole team's three-point shooting feel is lost, let them pass the ball to Zhou Qi, who is in the inner line, and help him complete the cake, is this not fragrant?
Phoenix needs to face up to Zhou Qi's role
But throughout the game, the fans are more of the players' dedication to the three points. Because they believe that even if their point difference with the Kings reaches more than 10 points. But as long as their three-point firepower can be turned on smoothly, that's 4 or 5 three-pointers. But many times, imagination is beautiful, reality is cruel. Even in the following games, they continued to attack the opponent's basket with three-pointers, but multiple shots and irons obviously had a certain impact on morale. But if at this time, they can play the role of Zhou Qi and pass multiple outside balls directly to Zhou Qi's hands, then this game must be another result!
Zhou Qi's performance was the highest in the whole team
But even if the Phoenix team eventually lost, Zhou Qi's super god play made many fans remember him completely. You know, even in the case of teammates playing iron successively, he still bombed 17 points, 13 rebounds, 1 assist and 5 blocks for the Phoenix. Although their scores are not the highest in the whole game. But that was the Phoenix's highest score. Moreover, Zhou Qi even used his Pai Yun Palm to establish an insurmountable defense line in the inner line of the Phoenix Team. Even if the opponent's outside team chooses to be tough many times, their chances of success are obviously very small. Through this game, the Phoenix team really should prepare a few more sets of tactics.
Mitchell needs to face up to Zhou Qi's role
They really should have made Zhou Qi the end point of the team's offense, as they did in the first three games, rather than letting him stand under the opponent's basket more often, which is what Mitchell needs to change. Although the overall level of the Australian NBL League far exceeds that of the domestic CBA league, our tactical play is still worth learning from Mitchell in many cases, especially when their three-point shooting is completely muted, mid-range projection and attack frame layups have undoubtedly become a more secure way to score. In this regard, Mitchell does need to change. You know, even if they lose this game, Zhou Qi has gained a lot! In particular, his rebounding number has risen to the first place in the league!
Zhou Qi can solve the team's scoring shortage on the inside line
In fact, as far as Zhou Qi's performance in the Phoenix team is concerned, his value has obviously been highlighted. In particular, his role in the inner line is that no one can replace! As the manager, Mitchell obviously needs to make the players' tactical execution more efficient, especially Zhou Qi, if Clark and a group of outside players are in a downturn in the three-point shooting at a critical moment, the first stage will pass the ball to Zhou Qi on the inside, their performance in scoring will definitely be able to rise several steps! And this problem we believe mitchell as the coach should have been aware. In future games, his tactical play will definitely have a new change, that is, three-point drop pass inside.
Zhou Qi once again played the dominance of the inner line
This method will obviously further continue their super output firepower, even if the scoring efficiency will decline, but it will definitely not be suppressed by the Kings as in the last game. Even if Zhou Qi exerts the Pai Yun Palm to the extreme, he can only establish a forbidden area in his own internal line. As for the opponent shooting three points? He obviously doesn't have a better way! Moreover, Zhou Qi has played his greatest value in this game, that is, he has once again played a dominant position on the inside. And the 5 blocks he won this time are the most powerful proof. As Phoenix coach Mitchell said before, Zhou Qi has done his job, and now it is obviously they who need to change!
Does Zhou Qi regret running away from Xinjiang and even the CBA league?
However, the basketball brother is very curious here. Seeing Zhou Qi stirring up trouble in the Australian NBL, what does the Xinjiang team and even the CBA league think? Do they have a little remorse? After all, it was they who joined forces to force Zhou Qi away and forced him to launch another attack on the NBA League. But Zhou Qi is gone, and the intensity of confrontation in the CBA league has dropped significantly. Because, Zhou Qi is gone, so that the CBA league lacks many wonderful peak showdowns. Especially in terms of the internal line, that is, the domestic internal line general lacks an important reference object. Although the CBA League still has the blessings of Wang Zhelin and Shen Zijie and others in this regard, they obviously still have a big gap with Zhou Qi!
Zhou Qi ran away and finally completed the Australian NBL
But this time, the CBA League and the Xinjiang team obviously hit the water in a bamboo basket, not only did they not catch anything. I also made a wedding dress for the Australian NBL League! No, the two young generals Liu Chuanxing and Li Hongquan also chose to develop there. But it is precisely because the three of them have joined successively, which has allowed them to completely open the domestic market. Moreover, they have also successfully attracted the attention of a large number of fans in China. In this regard, whether it is the CBA League or the Xinjiang team, they are obviously losing their wives and folding soldiers! It seems that the CBA league and even Yao Ming really need to reflect on it.
Zhou Qi will climb the peak again
However, as far as the current situation is concerned, since Zhou Qi has already played a dominant performance in the Australian NBL League. Then, his counterattack will also officially begin. As long as he can maintain his current state and feel, not only the best defensive lineup is available, but also the MVP! What do you think about that?
