On March 27, Beijing time, when Zhou Qi was suspended for two games because of slight knee discomfort, now according to media person StarXia Australian Basketball reports, the Southeast Melbourne Phoenix team plans to leave Zhou Qi at the end of the season, and the team management has told zhou Qi's team that it will leave Zhou Qi to build a team around him at any cost.
When Zhou Qi finally tore their faces because of the contradictions with the Xinjiang men's basketball team, especially the contract dispute, Zhou Qi chose to leave the CBA and switch to the Australian NBL League, which was also expected to use this as a springboard to return to the NBA.
Zhou Qi's performance at the beginning of the season was outstanding, and he quickly sat in the core position of the team's internal line, but as the season progressed, Zhou Qi's performance fluctuated, especially in the controversial status of the team, and Zhou Qi repeatedly sat on the bench at key moments of the game.
Now Zhou Qi has missed two games due to injury due to slight knee discomfort to recover. According to the media person StarXia Australian basketball report, the current Phoenix team management has proposed to Zhou Qi's Chinese team to keep Zhou Qi at all costs and build a series of plans for the next season with him as the core team, including the formulation of the player list and even the composition of the coaching team. However, netizens have said that the commitment of the Phoenix team is unreliable.
So far this season, Zhou Qi has played for the Phoenix, averaging 11 points, 7.11 rebounds and 2.06 blocks per game, shooting 63% from the field, which has not really met the expectations of the outside world.
Whether Zhou Qi will choose to renew his contract with the Phoenix after the end of the season is still unknown, after all, the sense of belonging to playing in the NBL is not strong. As for whether Zhou Qi will choose to return to the CBA, the contradiction between him and the Xinjiang men's basketball team is still the number one problem, which will also affect Zhou Qi's choice.
