After Zhou Qi joined the Australian NBL League, many fans began to pay attention to the game of the Southeast Melbourne Phoenix, and many members of the Phoenix team have become very familiar, among which the favorite of domestic fans is the boss Crick of the Phoenix team.
Recently, domestic fans have ushered in a very big good news, the well-known basketball blogger "StarXia Australian Basketball" on the personal social platform to discuss the possibility of Crick joining our domestic CBA league! "StarXia Australian Basketball" believes that The Phoenix boss Crick is definitely willing to play in our CBA, which can be said to be no doubt at all! And according to the speculation of "StarXia Australian Basketball", Crick and Zhou Qi should have talked about this topic a lot in private, and the two may have reached a consensus.
Coincidentally, Crick will become a free agent at the end of this season, and although Zhou Qi signed a two-year contract, Zhou Qi has player options and can jump out of the Phoenix contract. On February 24, "StarXia Australian Basketball" also reported that the Phoenix team is currently doing its best to retain Crick and Zhou Qi, and has clearly proposed that the future will take Crick and Zhou Qi as the cornerstone of the team.
However, Crick and Zhou Qi are not happy in the Phoenix, Crick's side is almost every game is full, earning every point is hard-earned money, but Crick has done his best, helpless Phoenix team guard line is too crossed, often ruin the good situation, the current Phoenix team has fallen out of the playoffs, if the Phoenix team continues such a performance, this season it is difficult for them to break into the playoffs, even if they enter the playoffs and Melbourne United such a team can not compete, Staying with the Phoenix was a waste of his career for Crick, who wasn't young.
And "StarXia Australian Basketball" revealed that Australian players are now becoming more and more difficult to find employment, only this season NCAA leagues have as many as 300 Australian male players, such a competitive intensity has made many veterans in the NBL League living space further squeezed, so Crick must also consider his future career.
Another point is that the salary of the NBL League is not high, and Zhou Qi chose to play in the NBL League this season, which was forced to give up millions of yuan for this! And the intensity of the NBL league confrontation is also very strong, playing in the NBA league at any time there is a possibility of season reimbursement, so NBL teams are basically reluctant to sign a long contract for players, at most only sign a 3-year contract.
But our CBA league is completely different, although the CBA league schedule density is higher than the NBL league a lot, but the physical confrontation of domestic players is far less than the NBL league, and Crick in the NBL league is a well-known iron man, is a player who can play from one to five, if you come to the CBA league to play, for any team in the CBA, it can be said that it is a dimensionality reduction blow for any team in the CBA, basically no player can defend Crick single-handedly, Crick, on the other hand, can force the vast majority of players in the CBA league.
More importantly, the CBA league's salary is much higher than the NBL league, Crick's ability can easily get the top salary, and the extra millions of dollars in income per year are also very affordable for veterans like Crick. And Crick to the CBA, Zhou Qi is bound to return, Phoenix Chuanqi staged in the CBA League, if these two players join forces, I am afraid that the CBA League championship is also scheduled.
