Zhou Qi, Xinjiang, these two words are topics that the CBA has been unable to avoid in recent years.
However, no matter what kind of storms and waves have been experienced, the two parties now seem to have no mood to sit down and talk. Stubborn Xinjiang has been "losing" for a year, and it seems that it is nothing to talk to Zhou Qiqian for another year.
But Zhou Qi is different, now that his destination is still undecided, he may have to face a situation where he has no ball to play for a year.
According to reporter Fu Zhenghao, Zhou Qi still had time to make decisions by mid-September. The first is to choose to return to the CBA, of course, only to return to the xinjiang team. The second is the opportunity to choose overseas leagues, if there is no window of next year's window of special training at your own expense.
As we all know, the contradiction between Zhou Qi and Xinjiang has reached an irreconcilable level, otherwise it would not have fallen to the current point, and it would be almost impossible for him to return to Xinjiang.
Zhou Qi himself also revealed in an interview recently that the destination is still undecided, and the overseas league has not found a better opportunity.
This makes things develop towards the results that fans, men's basketball teams, and the CBA do not want, that is, Zhou Qi gave up returning to Xinjiang and the CBA, and at the same time, there was no overseas league opportunity but to choose special training.
This result is a bad choice for all three parties.
For Zhou Qi, there is no high-level competition to maintain the state, and personal strength will definitely decline. The NBL experience has said it all, and only high-level games can elevate the strength of players to guarantee their form.
Think about it, Zhou Qi, who played in the CBA and in the NBL, can only be said to be decent when playing in the international arena, and the latter is a completely thigh situation, facing Australia and even three-person pinch tactics...
For the Chinese men's basketball team, it is not necessary to say, without Zhou Qi's thigh, what else is played in the international arena? Winning is enough for anyone.
So, Zhou Qi chose to give up this year's time to play, and the Chinese men's basketball team was finished. They will face a situation where they can't get out of the World Cup, can't get into the Olympic Games, and may continue to break the worst record in team history.
According to FIBA's latest rankings, China ranks seventh in Asia, behind New Zealand, the Philippines, Japan...
If even Zhou Qi is gone, this ranking will have to continue to fall, and the Chinese men's basketball team will continue to lose.
But if Zhou Qi finally chooses his own special training, he will have more time to spend with his family. In the past few years, competitions, special training, and isolation have completely become the main theme of his life, and he has very little time to spend with his family.
Therefore, it is understandable that he finally chose to give up a year of time and return to his family.
However, there is another situation that Zhou Qi chose to return to Xinjiang, so at this time he also has time to accompany his family. The probability of this happening is only 5%...
I sincerely hope that the contradiction between Zhou Qi and Xinjiang can be resolved as soon as possible, and the CBA can also stand up and ease the solution, otherwise it will be a kind of harm to the league, to the players, and to the men's basketball team.
