On January 5, the NBL League released the third report of the players, of which the Southeast Melbourne Phoenix became the biggest winner, leading the MVP list was Captain Crick, Zhou Qi was leading the list of DPOY's Best Defensive Players of the Season, Australian international Kyle Adenham was ranked 3rd in the best sixth-man list, and Phoenix coach Simon Mitchell was second in the best manager of the season.
Zhou Qi leading the DPOY list is not surprising, after all, Zhou Qi has shown super strength on the defensive end this season, with 5 and 7 hats in a single game being praised by the outside world, and in this season's block list, Zhou Qi is also in a far leading position. Including former NBL coaches and basketball reporters are optimistic about Zhou Qi, saying that if they can continue to play well, the phoenix new signing is a strong contender for the best defensive player.
There is also Zhou Qi's performance on the field is getting better and better, even Coach Mitchell said that Zhou Qi has not yet played his ability to the maximum, with the whole team training, the increase of the game, Zhou Qi will definitely perform better. Zhou Qi has won the honor of the best defensive player in the CBA, and after coming to the NBL league this time, if he continues to play strongly, it is very likely that he will win this honor.
Phoenix captain Crick led the MVP list, Crick in the eyes of Chinese fans is Zhou Qi's best partner, but also a good big brother, the relationship between the two is very good, even with a sharp heart. And on the field, Crick can always stand up at key moments to save the team, setting a personal record for the highest score in the history of the Phoenix team with 36 points in a single game. At the same time, Zhou Qi had previously won the 2+1 dunk, which was also a wonderful pass from Crick. So in the MVP list, the Phoenix captain occupies the first place.
Coach Mitchell is second on the list, behind Guljan, who once coached in the CBA. The Phoenix have only lost one game this season, and Mitchell's coaching ability and on-the-spot command have also been praised by the outside world.
In addition to the official list of players and coaches in this statistics, the phoenix team ranked first in the previous team strength ranking list, and Zhou Qi said in an interview before the start of the tournament that the team has a lot of Australian and New Zealand national players, although they do not know, but they have also met in the international competition, the strength is still very strong, there is hope to compete for the championship.
Therefore, I also hope that Zhou Qi's first NBL season can be lucky, strive to win the championship, and personally win the honor of the best defensive player.
