Yesterday afternoon, Australia's NBL league continued, and the Southeast Melbourne Phoenix finally ushered in a game after a gap of about four weeks, against the Brisbane Bullets.
The Phoenix and the entire Australian NBL league have attracted the attention of fans mainly because they have Chinese player Zhou Qi in their squad. In fact, the Bullets also have a Chinese player, that is, center Liu Chuanxing. Compared with Zhou Qi playing better and better in the Phoenix team, gradually occupying the main position and having the ball to attack independently, Liu Chuanxing lacked playing time in the bullet team.
Basically, Liu Chuanxing can only play about 2 minutes off the bench every game, grab 1 rebound, and basically have no chance to shoot. However, in yesterday's game, Zhou Qi and Liu Chuanxing met directly, or Liu Chuanxing had the upper hand.
Zhou Qi and the Phoenix team had not played a game for four weeks, and the competitive state was very bad, so they couldn't find a feeling from the first quarter of the game, and they were about 20 points behind. Although they struggled to chase the points, the Phoenix still had no spirit now, and finally lost 84-100.
Zhou Qi sent the iconic cover in the first quarter of the game, but soon there was an elbow swing under the basket and a technical foul. In the whole game, Zhou Qi only scored 2 points.
Liu Chuanxing got more playing time and played very excitedly, contributing 6 points, 5 rebounds, 1 block and 1 assist throughout the game. Among them, Liu Chuanxing completed a wonderful basket against Zhou Qi in the third quarter, and also caused the opponent to foul and played 2+1.
After the game, Liu Chuanxing invited Zhou Qi to dinner in Brisbane, and the two Chinese players who played in Australia had a good personal relationship, hoping that their next meeting would be more exciting.
