On April 21, the final shortlist of the NBL League's major awards, the most interesting of which was the Chinese player Zhou Qi and his Phoenix team, unfortunately Zhou Qi did not enter the shortlist of the best defensive player, and did not qualify for DPOY. The Phoenix team is also grainless, and honors such as the best manager are also not related to the Phoenix.
This season's Zhou Qi and the Phoenix team are representatives of high and low, and Zhou Qi's performance at the beginning of the regular season is very strong, once leading the DPOY season's best defensive player list and block list, and captain Crick led the MVP list. At that time, Zhou Qi showed super strength at the beginning of the season, and the 5 and 7 hats in a single game were praised by the outside world, and even the former coach of the NBL said that the best defensive player this season was Zhou Qi, because At that time, Zhou Qi showed strong dominance in the inner line and led the Phoenix team to achieve good results.
The turning point came because the NBL was shut down for a period of time due to the epidemic, and the state of the Phoenix team and Zhou Qi after returning was not very good, especially Zhou Qi also affected his body because of injuries, and his weight and state had declined. Zhou Qi's play in the later period was in stark contrast to the beginning of the season, and in the end, he regretted not being honored as the best defensive player.
At the same time, Zhou Qi also encountered the test of injury, and his knee affected the play on the field, which is also very important for Zhou Qi. In the later stage, Zhou Qi's performance was not as good as at the beginning of the season, in addition to the targeted research with opponents, the injury and physical tests were also great.
The Phoenix team is the same, when the team beat the jumping ant by 4 points, the Phoenix did not qualify for the playoffs of the Australian NBL this season two rounds in advance, from the beginning of the season, it was considered that there were many national players and Zhou Qi such a strong foreign aid to join, can impact the championship, to the top four playoff areas, it is indeed a pity.
Of course, Zhou Qi's stay in The Ocean for one season is still of great help to the influence of the Phoenix team and the improvement of the box office. At the same time, the relationship between Zhou Qi and his teammates is also very good, and the dead party is captain Crick, and the relationship between the two is excellent. At the same time, Zhou Qi often takes his teammates to taste Chinese food together, and also celebrates birthdays with his teammates, integrating into the team, Zhou Qi still does a good job.
In this way, Zhou Qi's first NBL trip to stay in the West is also over, and I also look forward to Zhou Qi's performance in the future, whether it is to continue to stay in the Phoenix team or have a better choice, I hope that Zhou Qi can have good luck.
