Why did Zhou Qi refuse the invitation of the walkers? Zhou Qi did not hide the reason, and said it very bluntly
Zhou Qi has returned to China, is currently in isolation, Zhou Qi during the quarantine period idle nothing to do, so want to chat with the fans, and there are Han Dejun and Gao Shiyan to come to help, three people a play, Zhou Qi revealed a lot of things in the live connection, one of the things, Zhou Qi mentioned the walkers to invite him.
Before everyone has heard that there are several teams in the NBA in the exploration of Zhou Qi, of which the Pacers made an offer to Zhou Qi, this matter does not know whether it is true or not, but Zhou Qi confirmed this in the live broadcast connection, Zhou Qi said, the Pacers proposed an invitation to him, first go to play the summer league for the Pacers, which should be the Pacers to conduct a field survey of Zhou Qi, further investigate Zhou Qi, and then decide whether to sign Zhou Qi.
Zhou Qi played a season in the NBL, the body became stronger, at a glance, everyone felt that Zhou Qi had long meat, the weight should have increased, some fans in the live broadcast asked about this matter, asked Zhou Qi whether he played in Australia to increase weight, Zhou Qi replied, or that, fans continue to ask questions, why not increase weight, Zhou Qi's answer is: "Don't want to increase weight again, and then increase weight is too fat." "It seems that Zhou Qi is consciously controlling weight, as far as playing center, Zhou Qi is good for gaining some weight, but Zhou Qi has his ideas and cannot be forced, but Zhou Qi's body has become stronger and stronger, which is visible to the naked eye, which is helpful for Zhou Qi to go to the NBA to play."
Secondly, Zhou Qi in the NBA a season, the improvement of center technology is also obvious, Phoenix coach Mitchell and Rockets coach D'Antoni are completely different, Rockets coach D'Antoni to die and not let Zhou Qi stand down to attack, but to imitate Porzingis, strengthen long-distance projection, let Zhou Qi float outside the attack, why, because the Rockets up and down think that Zhou Qi is thin, poor physical confrontation ability, can not withstand the collision, so let Zhou Qi practice three-pointers, Zhou Qi a Chinese first center, Long-term playing inside, suddenly want Zhou Qi to change the way of playing, Zhou Qi is indeed not adaptable, but also very depressed, practicing three-point ball is not to say that a practice is successful, the result can not meet the requirements of D'Antoni, and was pressed on the bench, guarding the water dispenser, Zhou Qi in the Rockets can only play garbage time for a few minutes of the game, Zhou Qi is sullen, and finally Zhou Qi and the Rockets parted ways.
However, in the Phoenix team, Mitchell's approach is exactly the opposite of D'Antoni, dead or alive do not let Zhou Qi shoot three points, but let Zhou Qi play the inside line, go deep into the basket, where is missing, Mitchell strengthened Zhou Qi's muscle training, and under the training guidance of Captain Crick, Zhou Qi's muscles, especially the upper limb muscles, were significantly thickened, and the strength was strengthened, and the improvement of these aspects made Zhou Qi quickly adapt to the NBL rhythm and strong physical confrontation, and also made Zhou Qi closer to the NBA.
Therefore, according to Zhou Qi's current strength, playing the summer league, there is no problem at all, and even with the young players are difficult to score, will produce results, will also be the Pacers, and sign Zhou Qi, but Zhou Qi said that he politely declined the invitation of the Pacers, because to focus on the national team, as we all know, in the CBA offseason, the Chinese men's basketball team faces two events, one is the World Cup qualifiers in the Asian region, the other is the Hangzhou Asian Games, where the World Cup qualifiers are related to the qualification to participate in the World Cup. It also directly affects the qualification to participate in the Olympic Games.
Therefore, Zhou Qi for the national team training and competition, can only miss the Pacers' summer league, but also missed the signing with the Pacers, come to Japan for a long time, go to the NBA to play there is a chance, but the opportunity to participate in the World Cup and the Olympic Games is rare, in the face of great right and wrong, must be the country-oriented, Zhou Qi's choice is correct, this is touching, of course, to participate in the national team to play the World Cup qualifiers, but also to prove their own opportunities, Why Zhou Qi is called "Polish center", this stem is clear to everyone.
