In the previous period, because the Chinese women's football team played a very good performance in the Asian Cup and won the Asian Cup, the Chinese men's football team fell into a huge controversy and became the object of the fans' scolding, it can be said that the whole team is now under great pressure. Therefore, the results of the Chinese men's and women's competitions have also become the focus of everyone's discussion, so the same problem has also appeared in the Chinese men's basketball team. Because not long ago, in the February game, the qualifiers of the Chinese Women's Basketball World Cup were all three group games won, and it was easy to get tickets for the World Cup, so under such a premise and contrast, higher requirements were also put forward for the future of the Chinese men's basketball team.
In this case, our Chinese men's basketball team will usher in the Asian Cup competition this year, which is also the best event for the Chinese men's basketball team to go to Liangjian this year to get good results. So not long ago we also saw that FIBA has announced the grouping of this event, and our Chinese team is equivalent to getting a sign, the Chinese men's basketball team we are in a group with South Korea's Chinese Taipei and Bahrain, the strength of this group is not quite strong, it can be said that the overall level is relatively general, the comprehensive strength is not as good as China's, so the group is not a problem at all. But obviously, in the Asian Cup game, the fans' positioning of the Chinese men's basketball team is not only to stay in the group, our goal should be to win the Asian Cup. And in the previous Asian Cup, our Chinese men's basketball team performance is also very good, 21 times to participate in 16 championships, so for this event, the Chinese team should have a higher goal.
The majority of fans also hope that the Chinese men's basketball team can improve its overall strength again before the start of the tournament in July, and can face the challenges of the Asian Cup teams with a more energetic state. But in fact, just recently, Du Feng, the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, he has received a not-so-good news, and it can even be said that the core main force of the team has encountered a problem. This player is our Chinese men's basketball team's current core internal line Zhou Qi, we also all know that in the previous Chinese men's basketball team out of several games, Zhou Qi has played a vital role, especially in the competition with Asian teams and Japan, Zhou Qi is the Chinese men's basketball team's new needle, then he is in the inner line of the high strategy, his personal singles in the inside line have injected more confidence into the Chinese, it can be said that he is the current Chinese team deserved core big brother, Then it is also a player that the Chinese men's basketball team relies on at this stage. Before that, we all knew that Zhou Qi left the CBA League to play for the Australian Melbourne Phoenix this season, and also wanted to get better development.
But just recently, in the Australian League, Zhou Qi's situation has become worse and worse. In the recent game, we can see that Zhou Qi's Melbourne Phoenix team has been compressing his playing time, it can be said that Zhou Qi is now more and more marginalized, in the last game, Zhou Qi only appeared for 12 minutes, it can be said that the team is extremely distrustful of him. Then it can be said that Zhou Qi is currently in the Australian League, his team status has plummeted, according to the current situation, Zhou Qi is very likely to fall out of the normal rotation of the Melbourne Phoenix, then this is really a very big trouble for him personally.
And when everyone is worried about Zhou Qi, in fact, for the Chinese men's basketball team, Zhou Qi's current situation is also a big thing that Du Feng should worry about. Because once Zhou Qi can not play an important role in the game, he can not get more playing time in the Melbourne Phoenix team, get better performance opportunities, his competitive ability may have a great decline, and even in terms of mentality, there may be fluctuations, then these will affect the future, the Chinese men's basketball game will affect Zhou Qi's rise, so it has to be said that Zhou Qi is a very bad news from Australia. And before Du Feng he made a statement, this time the Asian Cup our main opponent is Australia and New Zealand, the two newly joined teams, so the team needs to use more full of state and faith, continue to work hard, then the current strong point, obviously lost the opportunity to continue to improve.
