The peak of the average Chinese basketball player is between 25 and 32 years old, and Zhou Qi can now be said to have entered the peak of his body. Although Zhou Qi was called the Polish center by fans at the Men's Basketball World Cup, Zhou Qi has indeed improved since then. Now Zhou Qi is going to play in Australia, he is growing up very fast, and he has also been given a 10-day contract from an NBA team, but Zhou Qi refused.
Zhou Qi did not choose to return to the NBA, or continue to grow up in the NBL, which is the most rational and intelligent. To know that Zhou Qi was in the NBA last time, played for 2 years, but only played 19 games, and all of them played in garbage time, averaging 1.3 points and 1.2 rebounds per game can also see what positioning players are.
However, although Zhou Qi played 19 games in the Rockets, he received a salary of 1.32 million. Zhou Qi signed a four-year rookie contract with the Rockets at that time, and the last two years were unsecured contracts. $820,000 in the '17-18 season, $1.38 million in the '18-19 season, $1.62 million in the '19-20 season, and $1.75 million in the 20-21 season. But Zhou Qi was cut less than two months after the start of his second season, and his final salary in the NBA was $1.32 million before taxes.
Yao Ming also played for the Rockets for 9 years, including missing the entire season due to injury in the 09-10 season, earning a total of 93.4 million. The rookie's first-year salary was $3.86 million, with the highest annual salary reaching $17.69 million. But after Yao Ming retired, the NBA in the next ten years, capital injection, player salaries have been significantly improved, and even the annual salary of more than 50 million players, in Yao Ming's era is obviously unimaginable.
So if Yao Ming puts it now, how much money can he take? Yao Ming was born in Yuanyuan, and after that, he also played out his own value. If Yao Ming is placed now, there is no need to gain weight. Yao Ming in the NBA before the weight gain, big, fast movement, good feel, high hit rate, with its own defensive system, to say that the shortcomings may be that the current offensive and defensive conversion is too fast, physical fitness is a major weakness, then Yao Ming put on the current average of 30 minutes per game, the average of 30 + 15 per game should not have any problems.
Referring to the Jazz's Gobert data, in the current era of overall increase in scoring, the recent seasons are around 15+14 data, and the Jazz's salary to Gobert is $205 million for 5 years. In that interior-dominated era, Yao Ming averaged 23.1 points, 10.1 rebounds, 1.93 assists and 1.87 blocks per game in three seasons. The scoring ability and technical means are better than Gobert, and the assists are also stronger than Gobert, which is a comparison from the perspective of data alone.
More importantly, Yao Ming's commercial value is much higher than Gobert's, Yao Ming is worth not much, ask the former owner of the rocket Alexander to know. If Yao Ming is placed now, a proper 40 million yuan base of the big contract is offered, but the team will definitely gain more from Yao Ming.
