Zhou Qi suddenly made an unexpected decision, and the 9-character statement caught Du Feng off guard, and Yi Jianlian said it first
On December 18, Beijing time, the second phase of the CBA regular season started normally, and in a game that ended not long ago, the Guangdong men's basketball team defeated the Sichuan men's basketball team 115-104, and Zhou Qi continued to be absent in this game. So far, the Guangdong men's basketball team has risen to second with a record of 12 wins and 4 losses, and the Xinjiang men's basketball team has 15 wins and 3 losses, and is temporarily ranked first. The third to fifth are Zhejiang, Guangsha and Liaoning men's basketball teams, these three teams are in good shape, and they may reach the top at any time. It can also be said that these five teams are the first teams in the league, and they are also strong contenders for the title this season.
The Guangdong men's basketball team was able to beat the Sichuan men's basketball team in this game because it established a sufficient lead in the first half. But in the second half, the Guangdong men's basketball team did too poorly on the offensive end, and was also chased back by the opponent by more than a dozen points. In the eyes of many fans, this team has Zhou Qi and no Zhou Qi, it is completely two teams. After Zhou Qi's return in the second stage, the Guangdong men's basketball team won a wave of consecutive victories. Zhou Qi's condition is also getting better and better, and he can even play 20+20 data. As a result, I didn't expect Zhou Qi to miss several games in a row due to physical reasons, including the tough battle of the Xinjiang men's basketball team, and the Guangdong team was finally defeated.
If it is said that the normal rotation rest, then at most one or two rotations can be played, but Zhou Qi has missed many games. In my personal opinion, there are only two reasons that affect Zhou Qi's current appearance. First of all, the first is my own back injury. Zhou Qi may feel the faint pain of his back injury in the second stage of the game, so he will communicate with the team doctor and coaching staff and continue to recuperate for a few games.
The second point is Zhou Qi's contract issue. After Zhao Rui and Zhou Qi swapped their owners, the Xinjiang men's basketball team signed Zhao Rui on a three-year contract, while Zhou Qi signed a contract with the Guangdong men's basketball team for only one year, which means that after the end of this season. The Guangdong men's basketball team is likely to face the farce of the Xinjiang men's basketball team, and Zhou Qi may leave Guangdong at any time.
However, the current Guangdong men's basketball team is very generous, they provide Zhou Qi with the best training and rehabilitation environment, and the team respects Zhou Qi, and Coach Du Feng is also full of expectations for Zhou Qi. In daily training, Zhou Qi will be found to talk to each other, including joking together and training shooting together. And in the game, Du Feng rarely sprayed Zhou Qi, and he also gave enough respect.
The Guangdong men's basketball team has never forced Zhou Qi to make an early comeback, and Zhou Qi is also very grateful to the Guangdong men's basketball team. The Guangdong men's basketball team signed Zhou Qi this season, and also hoped that Zhou Qi would contribute to the team in the playoffs, so if the team's record in the regular season remained good, the Guangdong men's basketball team would also let Zhou Qi rest as much as possible.
However, in an interview with media reporters, when talking about his future, Zhou Qi also expressed his position in nine words, he said: I like the atmosphere of Guangdong very much. Zhou Qi believes that the Guangdong men's basketball team has the best hardware facilities in the country, and here, I can feel that this is a very professional place, and this team, including the owner, can think about the athletes. However, Zhou Qi did not directly answer that he would continue to stay in Guangdong in the future, he just praised the Guangdong men's basketball team. Now that Zhou Qi is enjoying playing in the Guangdong men's basketball team, we can obviously see that Zhou Qi's arms have become thicker.
If Guangdong wins the championship this season, then Zhou Qi's value will inevitably rise sharply. Zhou Qi, 27 years old this year, is in his prime. The Guangdong men's basketball team definitely wants to try its best to keep Zhou Qi in the offseason, but it must be difficult, don't forget who Sui Ran is, and don't forget that Zhou Qi has been running to many teams throughout his career. The most important reason is because of the contract problem, almost whoever gives the higher, Zhou Qi will go to which team to play.
As Yi Jianlian said in an interview with the media after retiring, the reason for his retirement is that I feel that I can't contribute to the Chinese men's basketball team on the basketball court as before, and if I can't contribute to the Chinese men's basketball team, it's better to retire and do other things. Yi Jianlian admitted that the decision to retire was very difficult, because it contained feelings for the Guangdong men's basketball team, but in the end he had to decide to meet new challenges.
After Yi Jianlian retired, he never mentioned Zhou Qi from beginning to end. On the contrary, Yi Jianlian said that in the future, he will focus all his attention on the youth training of the Chinese men's basketball team, and he wants to personally devote himself to it and share some of his experience with these young people who have just stepped into the path of professional basketball, and these young people are the future of our Chinese basketball (including the Guangdong men's basketball team).
