On May 19, Beijing time, when participating in the media day of the Chinese Basketball Association, Xu Jicheng, vice chairman of the Basketball Association, talked about Zhou Qi's current situation. The latter remained in Qingdao to train after the men's basketball short-term training camp.
Xu Jicheng said: Zhou Qi will definitely have his own place on the stage of the league. In addition, Xu Jicheng also talked about the naturalization of the men's basketball team, he said: Many people have learned about the progress of naturalization from the Internet, and have been strictly following the procedures to promote it, and officially announce the results when they are mature.
Xu Jicheng's speech released two major signals. First, there is the question of Kyle Anderson's naturalization. Xu Jicheng, as the vice chairman of the basketball association, his speech undoubtedly represents the official. It seems that Anderson's naturalization went very well. With a high probability, Anderson will be able to catch up with the new training session of the men's basketball team.
The second is the question of where Zhou Qi will go in the future. Because of a series of contradictions with the Xinjiang team, it directly led to the situation that Zhou Qi now has no ball to play. After leaving the NBL, Zhou Qi also hopes to return to the CBA.
Xu Jicheng's speech roughly means: How is Zhou Qi doing well in the national team? As long as he prepares carefully, the rest will be left to the basketball association to solve. Indeed, although a series of contradictions between Zhou Qi and the Xinjiang team, it is difficult to handle. But as long as the basketball association determines its position and resolves this contradiction, it is also a matter of hand.
After all, the final interpretation also belongs to the basketball association. Zhou Qi's return to the league next season is also a sure thing, as for which team he will join, it depends on his ability.
However, one thing is certain, Zhou Qi's return will break the current pattern of the league. If he joins a championship-contender team, the league may have a finale if he is healthy.
In addition, according to relevant media, Hu Jinqiu's injury is no longer hindered, and he is likely to catch up with the men's basketball training and play a series of events with the team. This summer, the Chinese men's basketball team is not destined to be calm.
