On April 24, 2022, Beijing time, in the last regular season game of the NBL regular season, Zhou Qi's Southeast Melbourne Phoenix team defeated the Wildcats through overtime, locking his record to 15 wins and 13 losses, ranking sixth in the league and not qualifying for the playoffs of this season!
And Zhou Qi's game in the NBL this season as the first season is actually a highlight and a downturn. In his 24 games, he averaged 21 minutes per game and was able to get 11.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2 blocks. For Zhou Qi, the biggest gain this season may be that there has been a significant strengthening of physical confrontation, after all, the NBL league confrontation is indeed more intense than the CBA!
In the 24 games that Zhou Qi played, the highest light game may be the third game of the season, he played 29 minutes, shot 10 of 13 shots, cut 22 points, 10 rebounds, 7 blocks and 2 steals, and led the team to victory! After this game, many people also put him in the competition for the best defensive player, and even had the opportunity to compete for the MVP!
However, as the game progressed, the team did not improve his tactical status, but lower and lower, using Zhou Qi as a blue-collar worker, and the backcourt players did not have too good passing ability in the game, resulting in Zhou Qi basically grabbing the opportunity to complete the score in the game. For Zhou Qi, such a game process is indeed not as good as expected, and fans are also a little worried about his role in the team!
And after the end of this season, will Zhou Qi continue to stay in the NBL next season? In fact, through this season, the harvest of staying in the NBL may not be so big, if you can join the Europa League or have the opportunity to impact the NBA again, you can try, these are the choices that Zhou Qi can do!
