Zhou Qi officially responded! Rejecting the NBA team's invitation, fans revealed: Touched by him

After the end of the CBA Finals, I thought that Chinese basketball would be silent for a while, and to the surprise of fans, Chinese basketball has recently exploded several major news. First of all, Zhang Zhenlin and Li Yueru applied to the Basketball Association to play in the United States so that fans can start to yearn for the future of the NBA stadium may be able to see Chinese players again. Since then, Yu Jiahao, Zeng Fanbo and Guo Haowen have also announced that they will go to the United States for special training, and they have obtained the right to participate in this year's NBA draft, which makes fans even more happy. Not long ago, according to Gao Shiyan's disclosure, Zhou Qi also received a trial training invitation from the NBA Pacers, which completely made fans unable to sit still, and it seems that the NBA really hopes to see Chinese players next season.

Zhou Qi and Xinjiang last season because of contract problems are inseparable, so this can go to Australia to compete in the NBL League, and now the NBL League regular season has ended, Zhou Qi's Melbourne Phoenix team only won the 6th place in the league and failed to enter the playoffs, so Zhou Qi has now returned to China. Earlier, Zhou Qi revealed during the live broadcast that his walkers invited him to go to the trial. Originally, the Pacers only invited Zhou Qi to participate in the NBA Summer League, but Zhou Qi said that he currently focuses on the national team, so he declined the Pacers' invitation.

As we all know, the NBA Summer League is generally held in July every year, and the Chinese men's basketball team has a particularly heavy task this year, needing to play in the World Preliminary Tournament in June, participating in the Asian Cup in July, and then participating in the Asian Games. The NBA Summer League coincided with the schedule of the Chinese men's basketball team, so Zhou Qi chose to give up going to the NBA in response to the call of the Chinese men's basketball team. In fact, Zhou Qi has played quite well in the NBL this season, playing in 24 games, and in the average playing time of only 21 minutes per game, he can cut down 11.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2 blocks, which is very efficient. Also because of Zhou Qi's performance, at the end of last year, the NBA suffered a shortage of employees, and many teams spread rumors with Zhou Qi, but Zhou Qi was ultimately unmoved.

The Pacers have announced that the team will be rebuilt, so they are looking at a lot of players, and if Zhou Qi chooses to represent the Pacers in the summer league, it is likely that he will reach a formal contract with the Pacers with his strength. However, Zhou Qi still refused the Pacers' invitation after careful consideration and chose to play for the country, which really touched the fans. With the aging of Yi Jianlian, Han Dejun and others, the Chinese men's basketball team has also been updated, and in the recently exposed training roster, all the selected players are post-90s. The mistake of the 2019 World Cup made Zhou Qi nailed to the column of shame forever, but fortunately, he was brave after knowing the shame and constantly honed his skills. Now Zhou Qi is already the best of China's interior players, which can be seen from last year's World Cup match against Japan.

Since Yao Ming retired, the Chinese men's basketball team has also begun to decline, and last year even missed the Tokyo Olympic Games, which also made the Record of the Chinese men's basketball team participating in the Olympic Games for 9 consecutive years abruptly. However, in the past two years, many strong players have emerged in the Chinese basketball world, and Zhang Zhenlin, Zeng Fanbo, Yu Jiahao and others are worth looking forward to. I hope that Zhou Qi can lead the Chinese men's basketball team to play a good result in the World Preliminary Tournament and the Asian Cup this time.
