Zhou Qi's Phoenix team because of the lack of playoffs, so the season's game has all ended, Zhou Qi in his first NBL season can average 11.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2 blocks per game, shooting 63%, although the data level is not particularly dazzling, but associated with Zhou Qi this season experienced injuries, emergency stops and mid-season shutdowns for a period of time, and the Phoenix team's main offensive point is not in the inside, so Zhou Qi can play such data, it is not easy.
Now Zhou Qi's itinerary has been exposed, according to the famous Song Xiang report, Zhou Qi plans to return to China in early May, the next is to isolate, and then join the Chinese men's basketball team training, after all, this year's Chinese men's basketball team still has a lot of tasks, the test is also very large, including the Asian Cup, men's basketball World Cup qualifiers, as well as the local Hangzhou Asian Games.
In addition to returning to China to prepare, Zhou Qi is likely not to stay in the Phoenix next season, and in this season of the NBL, Zhou Qi has also grown a lot. The current situation is that Zhou Qi signed a 1+1 contract with the Phoenix team, he has the right to choose whether to execute next season, the Phoenix team wants to renew the contract, full of sincerity, after all, Zhou Qi's strength and box office appeal are obvious to all. But Zhou Qi is not willing to renew his contract, first of all, he is not the core of the tactics in the team, and secondly, he is not a long-term plan to come to the Phoenix team, hoping to further improve his ability through higher level of league training and strive to return to the NBA.
Now there is news that the NBA Pacers have thrown an olive branch to Zhou Qi, and in the middle of this season, the Lakers are also concerned about Zhou Qi's performance, when Zhou Qi was the NBL's block king and a strong contender for the best defensive player, but unfortunately Zhou Qi ultimately missed this award.
Of course, if Zhou Qi wants to return to the NBA, he needs to play a convincing performance in the training camp, but thinking that the task of the Chinese men's basketball team this summer is very heavy, so if Zhou Qi wants to go to the NBA, I am afraid that he will give up, after all, September is the Hangzhou Asian Games. If Zhou Qi attacks the NBA, he needs more targeted training and preparation.
