Recently, Zhou Qi's Southeast Melbourne Phoenix team has no games to play, and fans have not seen Zhou Qi on the field for a long time. But just on March 10, the well-known basketball blogger "StarXia Australian Basketball" reported a blockbuster news.
According to the "StarXia Australian Basketball" report, the Phoenix is currently negotiating two contract extensions, these two are phoenix coach Simon Michelle and our Zhou Qi! It is reasonable to say that the regular season of the Australian NBL League is still in progress, the phoenix team executives have begun to formalize about Zhou Qi, can stand firm in the NBL higher than the domestic CBA league, and get the recognition of the team executives, the fans should be very pleased, but many domestic fans are not happy, in fact, most fans do not support Zhou Qi to continue to play in the Phoenix team!
Zhou Qi played the first three games for the Phoenix team was very amazing, especially against the defending champion Melbourne United, Zhou Qi single-handedly broke the opponent's two black interior lines, angrily slashing 22 points + 10 rebounds + 7 blocks of quasi-triple-double data! But since Zhou Qi's food poisoning has become a watershed, after which the assistant coach of the Phoenix team led the team, Zhou Qi's playing time was greatly compressed, although the team owner personally went to the locker room to angrily reprimand the Phoenix coaching staff, and Coach Simon returned to the team, but the situation after that did not have any effect, Zhou Qi's playing time was basically within 20 minutes, and the average score per game hovered around seven to eight points.
And now many fans bluntly say that watching the Phoenix game is almost angry enough, the Phoenix team has almost no players willing to pass the ball to Zhou Qi, the players on the guard line get the ball is blindly single-handed, even non-core players such as Le Afa have unlimited firing rights, every game except Crick is willing to give Zhou Qi a pass, other Phoenix defenders have no one to pass the ball to Zhou Qi, Zhou Qi's recent games have averaged 2 to 3 times.
Put such an inside strong point do not use, forced to let Mumford, Le Alfa such players on the outside line to throw the inside line chaotic, many domestic fans are really angry, even the well-known basketball famous "director I lie where CBA" bluntly said: "Don't play in that broken league, all aspects are really not as good as our CBA." However, Zhou Qi's priority renewal right is still in the Xinjiang men's basketball team, if the Xinjiang team is not willing to trade Zhou Qi's contract renewal right with the Liaoning team, Zhou Qi will most likely not be able to return to the CBA.
So at present, Zhou Qi's best choice is to stay in Australia to play, but many fans still suggest that Zhou Qi not renew his contract with the Phoenix! Zhou Qi has played a highlight performance in the NBL League, and which team Zhou Qi to, the ratings and tickets of this team will be sold, Zhou Qi can choose to switch to other clubs, like the NBL League powerhouse Melbourne United is a good choice, Melbourne United's black center Achur plans to challenge the NBA after the end of this season, this time Zhou Qi can choose to play in Melbourne United, with the assist of Dela Vidovar, I believe That Zhou Qi will be able to usher in a big explosion in data, Zhou Qi is also very promising to show his three-point ability on the outside.
Although the Phoenix team is ready to renew Zhou Qi's contract, but from Zhou Qi's performance in the Phoenix team, the Phoenix team is really not suitable for Zhou Qi, the outside line of this team has caused many domestic fans a headache, Zhou Qi might as well take this opportunity to contact Melbourne United, and joining forces with Dela Vidovar should be a good choice.
