Because of the epidemic and injuries, the NBA teams now continue to add a large number of instant combat strength, according to the well-known media person Su Qun broke the news, the Lakers are already inquiring about Zhou Qi, and in addition to the Lakers, there is an NBA team interested in Zhou Qi, but Su Qun did not expose which team it was.
Counting up, this is already the second time that Su Qun has broken the news in the short term, and there are NBA teams inquiring about Zhou Qi's situation. Indeed, Zhou Qi has played a dominant performance in the NBL league, and the NBL is the back garden of the NBA, not to mention that Zhou Qi's current Phoenix team has an NBA background, and even the team's minority shareholder Wall is also an NBA star.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the Lakers are interested in Zhou Qi, but since a giant like the Lakers is interested in Zhou Qi, should the "Big Devil" give up the NBL and immediately throw himself into the arms of the NBA?
Some netizens believe that the purpose of Zhou Qi playing in the NBL, the fundamental purpose is still to hope to use this as a springboard, and then be able to return to the NBA, such a statement is not unreasonable, in the NBL earned not much, and away from home, Zhou Qi even if he stays in the CBA will not earn less, the data will be more gorgeous. However, Zhou Qi did not do this, but went to the NBL to accept the challenge.
Realistically speaking, Zhou Qi's performance in the NBL, not to mention Chinese fans, I am afraid that even he did not think of it, so even if he immediately gave up the NBL and went to the NBA to realize his dream while it was hot, it was not incomprehensible.
But the point is, if you are the owner of the Phoenix team or an NBL fan, when the home striker just led the team on the road to the championship, the result is that you want to go, will it be so easy to go back in the future?
Moreover, the NBL waited for many years, and finally waited for Zhou Qi to such a piece of "fat meat", you can dig into the Chinese market, and now, the Phoenix team has received a very high degree of attention from China, Zhou Qi has gone, equivalent to the bottom of the pot, not only for the Phoenix team, the commercial value of the entire NBL will have a huge impact, is this not to pull hatred?
The key point is that going to the NBA now is not a good thing for Zhou Qi, even if the Lakers can provide a guarantee contract for Zhou Qi, but when the injured return, will Zhou Qi still have a place in the Lakers? What Zhou Qi needs now is a lot of games to improve himself, rather than waving a towel off the field.
As the top card of the Chinese men's basketball team today, Zhou Qi shoulders the responsibility of playing in the World Preliminary Tournament for the national team to help the team enter the World Cup, playing in the NBA, there is certainly no way to play in the window world preliminary tournament like in the NBL, if you can, Japan's Yamura and Watanabe Yuta may have participated in the first window of the World Preliminary Tournament, and the Japanese men's basketball team will not lose to the Chinese men's basketball team so badly.
In fact, Zhou Qi can completely refer to Yi Jianlian more than 5 years ago, when the UAE League was still in its peak state, especially in the warm-up game and the main game before the Rio Olympics, which twice played a high level against the American team, which in turn gave it the idea of returning to the NBA and also represented the Lakers in the preseason.
As a result, as we all know, the UAE League was cut by the Lakers, and since then, although he has never explicitly said it, he has never had any connection with the NBA, and it is conceivable that the UAE's self-confidence has been hit somewhat. And for Zhou Qi, who is now in the NBL, now go to the NBA, like the UAE League did in some games for a few minutes, sweat is not thoroughly replaced, itself is not very strong Zhou Qi, self-confidence will definitely be hit.
Therefore, Zhou Qi is regarded by the NBA as a good thing, but even if you want to test the waters, you should not go now, wait for this season to finish, negotiate with the Phoenix team, go to the NBA to try out first, if the NBA is willing to give a guarantee contract, then Zhou Qi is not impossible to go again, why rush this time?
