In the Phoenix 99-89 victory over the destroyers, Zhou Qi contributed 22 points, 6 rebounds, 1 steal and 4 blocks on 8 of 11 shooting, and I would like to say that in addition to the data, his efforts and patience have made fans even more admired.
Zhou Qi 22+6+4
We all know Zhou Qi's talent and strength, fans who have watched the Phoenix game know, if Mumford, Crick and Alpha are willing to create opportunities for him, if head coach Mitchell designs more tactics for him, Zhou Qi's performance is good, the Phoenix team's record may be improved to a certain extent, but what about the facts?
Because Zhou Qi is a newcomer to the Phoenix team, the team's own system is mainly outside the line, so, in the middle of the season, Zhou Qi has been an iron gate on the defensive end, as for the attack, it is only a sporadic participant, his positioning in the team, giving us the intuition of Chinese fans, a bit of an inside blue-collar feeling, in the face of such a situation, Zhou Qi's choice?
Zhou Qi's layup
Taking this attack as an example, Crick held the ball to the inside line to throw himself, the force was obviously short, Zhou Qi actively cut from the bottom left corner to the basket, reached out his right arm and flicked it on the top of the opponent's head, and pointed the ball into the basket.
Zhou Qi actively defended
Note that from the beginning of the season to the present, whether Zhou Qi will get offensive weights or not, he can actively defend as shown in the figure, not only one-on-one force to contain the opponent's internal line, but also assist in defense, supplement defense and change defense at any time, and even save to the three-point line, and there has never been the slightest slack in the defense of this link.
The problem illustrated by the above two pictures, although Zhou Qi has not been able to obtain the status of offensive tactical center, he has been working very hard to contribute to the team at both ends of the "attack and defense", and this effort is well known to teammates and coaches, and the patience of nearly a season has finally paid off with his comeback (he had missed two games due to injury).
Zhou Qi dunked
The Phoenix attacked, Mumford broke through to the free throw line to attract the opponent's defense, the right hand sent a wonderful pass to the ground, and Zhou Qi single-handed split.
Zhou Qi's second buckle
At the top of the right arc, Zhou Qi and Mumford blocked down, the latter's left hand shook, and Zhou Qi received the ball with both hands and dunked vigorously.
Zhou Qi hooked his hand
Zhou Qi cut to the paint area, Mumford hung high, Zhou Qi received the ball and faced the five-man contraction of the destroyers still strong attack, although this goal was blown by the referee to foul first, invalid, but still caused two fouls.
What concept? Zhou Qi's efforts and patience finally returned to the trust of Mumford and the head coaches, and they began to increase Zhou Qi's offensive weights, with the effect: in the last game, Zhou Qi contributed 17 points on 8 of 9; 8 of 11 in this game contributed 22 points.
In a foreign country and unfamiliar with life, Zhou Qi finally proved his value with personal efforts and patience, and the Phoenix team gradually began to increase his offensive weight and push him to the core of tactics. Zhou Qi's tortuous journey in the Phoenix team gave us enlightenment, the journey of life will be full of thorns, in the face of difficulties, we need unremitting efforts and persistence, the dawn will eventually come.
