Yesterday, Australia's NBL League played its final regular season, and the Southeast Melbourne Phoenix narrowly defeated the Perth Wildcats by 2 points through overtime, dashing their opponents' desire to reach the playoffs for 26 consecutive years.
But the Phoenix themselves missed the playoffs two rounds earlier, so China's Zhou Qi's first NBL season ended. At the end of the season, Zhou Qi is expected to return to China in early May to prepare for the next national team matches. However, in the offseason, Zhou Qi's whereabouts still attracted the attention of many people.
This season in the Australian NBL League, Zhou Qi has not had a very good time, his status in the team is getting lower and lower, playing time and shooting power continue to decline. But if you want to go back to the CBA league, Zhou Qi does not want to join the Xinjiang men's basketball team again, if you can't switch to other CBA teams, then Zhou Qi still has to find a way to find a new league to play.
Recently, there has been news that the Beijing Shougang team wants to chase Zhou Qi and is willing to pay some players and cash to make a deal with the Xinjiang men's basketball team in exchange for Zhou Qi's signing registration rights. But at present, there are teams competing with the CBA for Zhou Qi, as well as the NBA.
According to domestic basketball reporter Song Xiang, the indiana Pacers of the NBA have issued an invitation to Zhou Qi, hoping that Zhou Qi can participate in the team's training camp and provide a matching contract if he performs well. Obviously, Zhou Qi's performance has still received some recognition, and his height and arm span are eye-catching.
But the problem is that Zhou Qi may not be late in time, and he needs to participate in a series of matches for the national team, such as the Asian Games and the World Preliminary Tournament. In fact, there are NBA teams to issue invitations to such a thing, the high probability is that Zhou Qi's agent team deliberately released a message, the purpose is to create a very popular appearance of Zhou Qi, so that the CBA teams to compete.
