First spin a few bottles of whiskey, apologize to Qi Ge, and say nothing in the wine!
Previously, Ah Dian was not sure that Zhou Qi would continue to stay in Australia after the end of the NBL season to wait for the meeting with the Chinese men's basketball team, and then return to China after playing the World Preliminary Tournament and the Asian Cup.
However, according to the well-known basketball reporter Song Xiang, Zhou Qi will return to China from Australia in early May, and after isolating in accordance with the corresponding epidemic prevention policies and regulations, he will join the Chinese men's basketball team for training and preparation.
Wow, what a brave, after 21 days of quarantine, it will be at the end of May, and in mid-July, when I come back from the Asian Cup, I have to quarantine for 21 days.
According to Zhou Qi's first day of return from Australia, and then to the Asian Cup, less than 3 months, most of which was used for isolation...
Just thinking about it makes it uncomfortable, but if the person is willing, it is not easy to say anything.
Not returning from Australia too early, one of the biggest advantages is to be able to reunite with his family as soon as possible, Zhou Qi has been abroad for more than half a year, and the outside world is better than the warmth of home.
In addition, Song Xiang also revealed several very important information, that is, the Phoenix team really wants to keep Zhou Qi and provides a very superior renewal price tag.
But the fate of the two sides may really end here, because the Phoenix team did not fulfill its promise and did not use Zhou Qi as a tactical axis this season, which caused the latter to be eager to run away.
Mainly Zhou Qi does not have to play in the Phoenix, there are too many options for him, it is reported that in the middle of the NBL season, there are multiple NBA teams asking about their future destinations.
The latest NBA team to throw an olive branch is the Pacers, inviting Zhou Qi to participate in summer training camp, and if he plays a convincing performance during the period, he can get the corresponding contract.
The Pacers' inside line is not very competitive, when the home forward Turner is too likely to put him into his team this summer, then Zhou Qi only needs to compete with Jaylen Smith and Beatazer for playing time, and the stable rotation should be no problem.
But the Pacers Chinese webmaster followed up with the relevant details and grasped first-hand sources, indicating that the Pacers were interested in Zhou Qi, but only asked about the summer league intentions, not the training camp.
That is a big trouble, this summer's national team task is so heavy, may not have time to play NBA Summer League, Zhou Qi has always thought that the national play as the primary goal of his career.
Whether in Australia or the NBA 4 years ago, as long as the Chinese men's basketball team is recruited, he will always go without hesitation!
But there is a saying, even if there is really time Zhou Qi may not be willing to play Xia Lian, the defender who plays in Xia Lian is more difficult to endure than the Phoenix defender, and the living environment of the inside line, especially the yellow center, can be imagined.
Besides, the NBA team that intends to zhou Qi is not only the Pacers, and the offseason is very long, there is no need to make a choice so quickly, maybe one day directly wait for the NBA official contract, this is the most ideal result!
Of course, don't just pray for pie in the sky, the next national team game is also crucial, especially the World Preliminary Tournament against the Australian men's basketball team.
If you can face the tokyo Olympic bronze medalist, still play enough amazing or dominant level data, and even lead the Chinese men's basketball team to win, then tomorrow the general managers of the NBA teams may play the floor in front of Zhou Qi's home.
Competitive sports belong to the world of the strong, as long as it is strong enough, the whole world will revolve around you; on the contrary, no matter how tall the weak are, no matter how big they are, no one will care!
Unexpectedly, after so many years, Zhou Qi is still the closest Chinese to the NBA!
