On March 9, 2022, Beijing time, the NBL officially released the latest issue of the team's combat strength list, in this list, Zhou Qi's Southeast Melbourne Phoenix team only ranked fifth, which is indeed somewhat surprising!
The specific list rankings are as follows: 1. Melbourne United, 2. Sydney Kings, 3. Perth Wildcats, 4. Illawarra Eagles, 5. South East Melbourne Phoenix, 6. Tasmanian Ants, 7. Brisbane Bullets, 8. Adelaide 36ers, 9. Cans Class, 10. New Zealand Spoilers!
Zhou Qi's Southeast Melbourne Phoenix team is only ranked fifth, and it is important to know that they were still in the top three in the last issue, which is very important because they really do not pay much attention to the use of Zhou Qi. The inside line has a big center like Zhou Qi, but they mainly play the outside line and do not set any tactics for Zhou Qi. Most of the time it's up to their outside players to control the ball and rely on the outside feel to decide the game, which is really hard to win!
In recent games, Zhou Qi's scoring and rebounding counts are not high, and there is nothing too eye-catching. You must know that at the beginning of the season, Zhou Qi had cut 22 points, 10 rebounds and 7 blocks! Having this level of the inner line is not applicable, it is indeed somewhat incomprehensible! At the beginning of the season, Zhou Qi was once considered the strongest contender for the best defensive player, and may even attack the MVP, but now it seems that the team really does not cherish it!
It is worth mentioning that Liu Chuanxing's Brisbane Bullet Team is still in seventh place, and they ranked seventh in the previous issue!
