A few days ago, The first season of Chinese player Zhou Qi in the NBL has officially ended, last summer, Zhou Qi and the Melbourne Phoenix signed a 1+1 contract, what choice Zhou Qi will make next season, has also become a hot topic of concern for fans, after the news that a number of CBA teams, want to trade Zhou Qi with the Xinjiang men's basketball team, but according to the famous reporter Song Xiang's report, Zhou Qi is likely not to return to China in the summer, there have been a number of NBA teams, sent a trial invitation to Zhou Qi, The Indiana Pacers directly invited Zhou Qi to represent the team in the summer league and have the opportunity to return to the NBA, and I believe that Zhou Qi will temporarily give up his plan to return to China.
Compared with his last NBA trip, after two years of experience, today's Zhou Qi, in terms of confrontation ability and game reading, has made significant progress, especially the increase in weight, so that his ability to fight on the inside line has increased by more than one level, in the NBL, such a fierce confrontation league, he can also dominate the inside line, even if there is a gap compared to the confrontation of the top inner line of the NBA, but with Zhou Qi's physical talent, at least he can win a rotation player opportunity, if Zhou Qi can return to the NBA, It will also bring great encouragement to the current overall downturn in the Chinese basketball atmosphere.
From the finals of Liaoning and Guangsha, it can be seen that the overall attitude of fans to the current Chinese basketball world is negative, without the guidance of superstars, coupled with the lack of intensity of the game, chinese basketball has fallen into an unprecedented trough, and Zhou Qi, as the most talented player in the current Chinese basketball world, is also the player with the best chance to enter the NBA. This time Zhou Qi was invited by the NBA team again, which is also a fortunate thing for Chinese basketball.
Of course, whether Zhou Qi can successfully go to the NBA for trial training, but also depends on the opinions of the management of the Basketball Association, after all, this summer, the national team also has heavy game tasks, including the men's basketball Asian Cup, the World Cup qualifiers and the Hangzhou Asian Games in September, these games will also bring great challenges to the Chinese men's basketball team, once the Basketball Association does not agree to release people, then Zhou Qi's desire to return to the NBA will probably also be in vain, but as ordinary fans, we still hope that more Chinese players can go abroad. Experience in a higher level of league, so as to promote the level of chinese basketball as a whole forward.
