On April 18, Beijing time, the 2024 National Men's Basketball League Playoffs 1/4 Finals G1 game this night is undoubtedly Zhou Qi's performance time. After a period of injury, Zhou Qi returned strongly with impressive physical condition, scoring 22 points and 8 rebounds in the game, leading his Guangdong team to the start of the finals.
Zhou Qi's performance directly proved that he is still firmly in the position of the strongest inside line in the domestic league, and his dominance on the field has attracted everyone's attention. In contrast, the performance of Hu Jinqiu, the inside star of the Guangsha team, was unusually flat. He contributed just 11 points and four rebounds in 31 minutes of playing time, and in one night, he had a plus/minus of -12.
Looking back at the beginning and end of the game, judging from Zhou Qi's detailed data of 9 of 13 shots in 24 minutes, 8 rebounds, 2 steals, and 1 assist, this game can be said to belong to Zhou Qi. The perseverance and toughness shown by Zhou Qi today almost made us forget how tired and powerless he looked in the first half of the regular season. Soon after the opening, he completed an empty catch and dunk, which made the audience crazy. This is the most intuitive reflection of Zhou Qi's bounce and enthusiasm after he is healthy, and it is the most obvious manifestation of his advantage in the home interior matchup.
In the Guangdong team, there has always been a saying - "If you have a healthy Zhou Qi, you have everything". As it turned out, this statement is not exaggerated. Zhou Qi's sound and powerful body, tall and extremely lethal moves, make all opponents unable to defend effectively, and make all teammates full of courage to defeat everything. Driven by him, the Guangdong team is on the road to the championship, step by step.
There must be a leader to compete for the championship, and Zhou Qi is undoubtedly the leader of the Guangdong team. His performance made the coach of the Guangdong team, Du Feng, happy, and he said: "Yes, Zhou Qi decided the ceiling of the Guangdong team. ”
In the face of Zhou Qi's strength, Hu Jinqiu of the Guangsha team seemed to be a little powerless. His contribution was far less than expected and he was under tremendous pressure. In the next series, Hu Jinqiu needs to find a way to crack Zhou Qi, otherwise, his predicament will only get bigger.
I don't think Zhou Qi's strength was achieved overnight. His success is inseparable from his love of basketball, respect for the game, trust in his teammates, and inner tenacity. And Hu Jinqiu also needs to find how to maintain himself and give full play to his abilities in the face of a strong opponent like Zhou Qi.
For the Guangdong team, having Zhou Qi is like having a policy compass. He has shown the way for the development of the team and set an example for the players. And Zhou Qi's success also reminds us that the power of faith and tenacity may not win the game immediately, but it can definitely win respect and win the hearts of the audience.
The above is the opinion I want to share, everyone is looking forward to the next games, looking forward to the drama of Zhou Qi and Hu Jinqiu, and looking forward to more wonderful basketball moments.
