On February 7, Beijing time, with Mumford's three-point line outside the foul 3 penalties 2, the Phoenix team 88-87 killed the Eagles, Zhou Qi contributed 11 points and 7 rebounds in 4 of 5, the efficiency of the game was the highest +8 in the team, is one of the important heroes of the team's victory, but three details confirm that the Phoenix team is a bit "will not use" Zhou Qi.
Zhou Qi 11+7
First, Zhou Qi only benefited from 2 assists with 5 goals.
Zhou Qi has an absolute height advantage, and under the basket back singles also have a certain ability, but in the Phoenix, he is difficult to get offensive weights, reflected in this game, Zhou Qi only benefited from 2 assists with 5 goals.
Zhou Qi took the dunk in the air
In the first quarter of the game, Crick broke through to attract the bag clip to send an empty connection, and Zhou Qi easily dunked with both hands.
Zhou Qi 2+1
In the last quarter of the game, Zhou Qi's right arc top block was dismantled, Mumford rarely sent a straight plug, and Zhou Qi made a 2+1 layup.
Zhou Qi made up the basket
Aside from Crick and Mumford, Zhou Qi didn't get a single bounce from the back line, and the remaining three goals were all from individual steals of offensive rebounds. With an absolute advantage in the inner line, the Phoenix team does not use it, and it is really a bit of a sense of tyranny.
Second, the Phoenix team resolutely played the tactics of running and bombardment.
Zhou Qi covered three points for his teammates
Up to now, the Phoenix team has been mainly promoting the run-and-bomb tactic. Crick and Mumford not only focus on shooting three-pointers from the outside, but also can attack quickly and never slow down, so as fans can see, Zhou Qi as a seven-foot long man is also running in full field, his physical fitness is greatly consumed in the playing time is limited, otherwise it can not play efficiently, and in this game, the Phoenix's employment is more bizarre.
Third, the stub was once abandoned.
After Zhou Qi received Mumford's layup 2+1 to help the team lead 74-70, in the game with 5 minutes left, the rare thing, the Phoenix team actually replaced Zhou Qi, the consequence, the Eagles a wave of 17-12 offensive and defensive flow once to 87-86 rebound, if it were not for Mumford in 1.3 seconds to create a foul, the Phoenix team has been reversed by the Eagles, until Mumford free throw, Zhou Qi appeared again.
Zhou Qi interfered with opponents to shoot three points
And this time on the court, the purpose of the Phoenix team is also very simple, that is, to let Zhou Qi interfere with the opponent's three-point shot at the last moment, and Zhou Qi lived up to expectations and raised his arms to complete the mission.
Conclusion: Zhou Qi in the NBL League, with an absolute inside height advantage, can become the cornerstone of the team, but as of now, the Phoenix team only let him play the role of defensive gate, did not give him too much weight at the offensive end, and did not have for him to reduce speed to save physical energy, and even today was once abandoned, so, overall, although Zhou Qi can play efficiently, but the Phoenix team is really a bit "not used"!
