The NBL's regular season continues, with Zhou Qi's Phoenix team playing against the Illawarra Eagles. In the end, the Eagles defeated the Phoenix 80-77. In the final moments of the third quarter, the Hawks played a 20-8 wave to complete the reversal. In terms of statistics, the Phoenix's Crick had 18 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, Alpha 14 points, Mumford 13 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists; The Eagles' Meyers had 19 points and Jessup had 15 points and 7 rebounds.
Such a duel is indeed a bit of a pity. For the Phoenix, it felt like they could have won the game. Unfortunately, because of some errors in judgment and some tactical problems, the team's performance failed to meet expectations. The final loss was only to be expected.
Fans also have their own views on such results. Similarly, in such a game, Zhou Qi played 21 minutes and 35 seconds, 2 of 3 shots to get 7 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block. Such data proves that Zhou Qi's presence in the team is now getting lower and lower. For the team, the use of him is basically a blue-collar use.
These are things that the fans did not expect at the beginning. You know, in order to invite Zhou Qi to join, the Phoenix team once showed great sincerity, giving people a feeling that Zhou Qi is the absolute core. But what? At such a time, the core of the team is still Crick and others, as for Zhou Qi's tactical status, it is really very low. For the fans, this is also very unhappy.
Because, Zhou Qi played 22 minutes, only 3 shots, if it is a core player, how can it be like this? For Zhou Qi, his role is still the feeling of defending the gate. In the whole game, Zhou Qi's plus-minus value is +7, that is to say, although Zhou Qi's data is not very good, when he is on the court, the team still wins. Such Zhou Qi does have its own value. Unfortunately, his trust in the team now seems to be not as high as before. In other words, due to the impact of injuries, his state could not be restored, and after that, his trust also declined.
In addition, a detail that is more worth analyzing is that in the last 5 minutes, Zhou Qi was completely abandoned. Such details are enough to prove that Zhou Qi is no longer an important player in the team. Because, the most important player is always left on the pitch. Unfortunately, in the last five minutes, the five minutes that decided life and death, we could not see Zhou Qi's performance.
In addition, Zhou Qi's ball possession is so small, which also gives people an incredible feeling. And for the Phoenix, it gives people the feeling that they are dying. After all, if Zhou Qi had been used more reasonably, the results might have been different. Because, the last time the 2 teams played, Zhou Qi still made a contribution at the key moment, and the Phoenix team also won the game. And this time? It was the opponent who defeated the Phoenix. So, this definitely needs to be carried by the phoenix coaching team. For Zhou Qi, the current situation is very delicate, and it also makes people worry about his future.
Only 3 shots in 22 minutes, the last 5 minutes were discarded, Zhou Qi is about to be confused? I have to say that in a foreign country, for an athlete, there are still more things that need to be overcome and challenged. Where did Zhou Qi go after that? Stay tuned.
