On February 23, the NBL officially announced the league's latest jersey sales list, of which Zhou Qi of the Phoenix team ranked first, pushing the former NBA championship winner DelaVedova, Zhou Qi's teammate Creek ranked 7th, and the Tasmanian Ants had three players in the top 10 of the list.
It is not surprising that the sales of Zhou Qi's shirt ranked first in the league, after all, Zhou Qi's popularity after going to the Phoenix team was very high, first of all, there were many Local Chinese and basketball fans, and zhou Qi's arrival made the Phoenix team's home attendance significantly increase. Secondly, Zhou Qi's performance is not bad, so local fans and Chinese people like him very much, and it is normal to support idols by buying battle robes.
In fact, in the early days of Zhou Qi joining the Phoenix, his No. 26 shirt sold out in multiple sizes, leaving only smaller S and XS yards. At that time, the Phoenix team officially showed that Zhou Qi's jersey sales were the first in the team, compared with Crick's jersey as the captain. It can be seen that after Zhou Qi went to the Phoenix team, the team became the biggest winner in terms of jersey sales and ticket revenue.
At the same time, Zhou Qi's influence in Australia is very large, as the main center of the Chinese men's basketball team, zhou Qi went to the Phoenix team, but also ignited the enthusiasm of domestic fans for the NBL league. The same is true of local fans, and even some beautiful Internet celebrities rub the heat when the Phoenix team plays the home game, and many Chinese fans organize together, in addition to buying tickets to watch the game, they also played slogans in support of Zhou Qi, etc., which is also a beautiful landscape at the home of the Phoenix team this season.
Zhou Qi on the field had previously performed strongly, his body was missing many games, and his competitive state after returning had not yet reached the best. In the last "China Derby" against the Bullets, although the Phoenix won the victory, Zhou Qi did not appear in the 2 minutes of the final moment decisive battle, which also made his condition more worrying, after all, it still takes a while to return to the peak state of the early season.
From the beginning of the fight with the Xinjiang men's basketball team and the CBA, Zhou Qi went to Australia after winning the gold medal at the National Games, where he belonged to his own world and even attracted the attention of NBA teams. I also hope that this season's Zhou Qi can lead the Phoenix team to win the championship and win the honor of the best defensive player, defensive team or block king, so as to achieve the goal of returning to the NBA.
