Zhou Qi's knee joint was injured again, why is this? Suddenly remembered what Rockets coach D'Antoni did!
From the Australian NBL League Southeast Melbourne Phoenix came the news, Zhou Qi will miss the 17th round of the game due to knee injury, the Phoenix team officially wrote: "Zhou Qi will miss the 17th round of the game due to knee injury, he is expected to return to the next round." Tristan Forsyth will replace Zhou Qi in the game against Cairns Taipan Snake and Adelaide 36ers. ”
Remember the last game, Zhou Qi did not appear injured in the game, played well, but a few days later, how did the Phoenix team come to the news that Zhou Qi was injured, and did not specifically say how Zhou Qi was injured, it is estimated that Zhou Qi was accidentally injured in training, Zhou Qi was replaced by Forsyth, and the next game (tomorrow at 4:30 pm) is definitely a big fight.
Before, the phoenix coach Mitchell has always said that he is most worried about Zhou Qi's fouls too much, which is why he restricts Zhou Qi's playing time, but after Zhou Qi joined the Phoenix team, this seems to be the second injury, and Zhou Qi's injuries are mostly in the lower limbs, especially the knee joint is often injured, in the domestic arena, Zhou Qi is also prone to knee joint injury, sometimes, the other party fell down and crashed on Zhou Qi's knee joint, sometimes the other party hit Zhou Qi from the side, Zhou Qi seemed to react very slowly to this sudden impact, dodging, Coupled with the fact that the two heads are thin and long, the knee joint is indeed more likely to be injured than ordinary people.
In the Phoenix team, Zhou Qi's knee joint injury should be directly related to the playing style and style of play of the NBL and the Phoenix team, the NBL play is fast, rarely plays position battles, physical confrontation is more, the game is very intense, but the phoenix coach Mitchell attaches great importance to Zhou Qi, let Zhou Qi serve as the starting center, this is a good thing, or a bad thing, for Zhou Qi's training and training is of course a good thing, Chinese fans are also very touched by this, thinking that Zhou Qi is valued by the coach in the Phoenix team, so Chinese fans have a good feeling for Mitchell.
However, Zhou Qi in the NBL such a high degree of intense environment, in the end how much exercise can be obtained, how far can go, in the end can be more than can be used as a springboard to the NBA, this has a problem of laymen and insiders, the so-called layman to see the lively, the insider to see the doorway, why Zhou Qi in the Phoenix team for more than half a year data is not the same, 18 games, the average of 11 points and 7.1 rebounds per game, far worse than in the country, the technology has not seen him have the slightest progress, can only follow the rhythm of the Phoenix team, that is, to fight on the field.
I have always been worried about whether Zhou Qi can play in the NBL environment whether the body can bear, first of all, this is a challenge to Zhou Qi's physical fitness, secondly, Zhou Qi likes to stand in place to block the cap, rarely prepare for the action, if it is impacted, the knee joint is easily injured, the most unfavorable to the cycle knee joint is that the Phoenix team defense likes to stare at people at half-time, which requires a lot of sliding action, the defense also has to squeeze, pass and chase, which requires high flexibility and strength of the knee joint, and it is a test for Zhou Qi's knee joint.
The problem is that Zhou Qi's two legs are too thin, lack of strength, and the lower limb muscles are not developed, so Zhou Qi's fast, physical confrontation with the NBL is more difficult to adapt, and the Phoenix team requires Zhou Qi to play under the basket, which increases the risk of Zhou Qi's knee joint injury, which has proved this.
Remember when Zhou Qi joined the Rockets, Chinese fans thought that Zhou Qi would become the center of the Rockets, at least the third substitute center, may have some achievements in the penalty area, but on the contrary, the rocket coach D'Antoni did not let Zhou Qi play the inside line, but wanted Zhou Qi to model Porzingis's way of playing, asking Zhou Qi to practice three-pointers, many people did not understand at that time, Chinese fans even scolded D'Antoni, saying that he deliberately embarrassed Zhou Qi, and some people scolded D'Antoni to the point of blood.
However, in the past few years, with Zhou Qi's continuous injuries, especially after the lower limbs and knee joints have been injured many times, everyone in the process of reflection, suddenly remembered the various practices of Rockets coach D'Antoni, before and after comparison, after practice, more and more feel that D'Antoni is right, Zhou Qi should develop a long-range attack, he is indeed not suitable for playing the inside line, not other, but Zhou Qi's slender leg type of the special physical condition determined, in the end is the Rockets coach D'Antoni wrong, or the Phoenix coach Mitchell wrong, Anyway, I think Zhou Qi is not suitable for the Phoenix team's playing style, Zhou Qi should learn to blossom more, pick up his original medium and long-range offensive skills, blindly play under the basket, not only the problem of playing, but also related to Zhou Qi's health problems, and how far he can go, these are worth thinking about in the cycle.
